    This is just another side by side example of Activision fueling up their cash cow to start mooooving along more money for their pockets. MW3 is revealed and only can ask each other WHY? There's no true real content that will require a new game, nothing different here for $70.00+ that they couldn't just release /patch for in the previous version of the game.

    Blizzard and Diablo 4 when they felt the presence of Activision when they took over was an instant destruction of some of the TOP games available & top developers. World of Warcraft, DEAD. Overwatch 1 ( you paid for it and it was actually ok. They kill it and release OW2 that's free, but completely garbage just for money cash cow.) Diablo series, a complete flake. D2R was released with the old team and had real potential to revisit a great classic with new life breathed into it; until Activision got involved. Then D4 is a perfect example of destroying a game and looking to just take peoples money. SOMETHIING has to give with these big box guys not releasing games for endless fun with your friend and the content in a game. They are releasing highly priced video games with mediocre content that can be blown through very quickly leaving a dry bitter taste in your mouth as a gamer.,

    this is an absolute rubbish console port for the pc. unfair multiplayer with no ranked dedis, bad graphics, no special pc abilities... infinity ward reprinted mw2 with a 3 on the end and activision is digging people's pockets for money. at least the singleplayer's not bad. campaign is crazy as always and spec ops is fun with friends

    Honestly there is nothing new to this game. It plays exactly the same as all the previous Call of Duty games since Modern Warfare 1. The graphics are the same, the sound is the same, and worst of all the game play is exactly the same.

    Esse jogo é o motivo de muitas pessoas pensarem que até hoje call of duty é sempre a mesma coisa, ele é MUITO parecido com o modern warfare 2, isso não é tão ruim pq mw2 foi um ótimo cod, mas obviamente que é muito menos do que o esperado.
    Ele mais parece uma DLC standalone do que de fato um outro jogo, tem novidades interessantes e essas novidades impactam muito na gameplay, mas é compreensível o hate que esse jogo levou na época apesar do jogo em si ser muito divertido.

    Quem gostou da historia do MW2, não vai se decepcionar com esse, na minha opinião ele tem a melhor campanha da franquia, o multiplayer não supera o do seu sucessor (BO2) mas também é muito bom embora atualmente tenha poucos jogadores.

    Até então, pra mim ele seria um jogo nota 7 MAS na versão do xbox 360 (vi alguns relatos de também acontecer na versão do ps3, mas não posso confirmar) esse jogo tem um problema nos servidores, tu só consegue jogar o multiplayer dele se tu já tiver jogado anteriormente naquela conta, caso contrário tu vai ficar eternamente buscando partida e nunca vai encontrar.
    Então se tu pensa comprar esse jogo no xbox 360 em 2022, saiba que pra você vai ser como se os servidores estivessem fechados.

    The game that ruined Call of Duty. Probably the worst one they ever did. This is the game where hit detection went out the window and every game since has been similar. Avoid at all costs. Wouldn't even take it for free.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. To be honest, I really wanted to like Modern Warfare 3 as much as I loved Call of Duty 4. The multiplayer is phenomenal, yes, but...it feels exactly like Modern Warfare 2. There was nothing new to it that really matters other than weapon perks that could be added along with weapon attachments, and some of the new attachments are nice. I especially loved the hybrid sight, but unfortunately,that didn't make up for the lack of change. The weapons are cool, yes, but, again, they're near identical to the weapons of the previous game. And I don't mean in looks, I mean in the roster. The new weapons were nice, yes, and I especially loved how they brought back the G36C, as it was one of my personal favorites of Call of Duty 4. But the changes I saw just didn't change the fact that I felt like I was playing Modern Warfare 2 with a partial makeover. And I haven't even started on the short, lackluster campaign that had little to no real surprise points to it. And its attempt at shock and awe with the bomb attack that killed the little girl was, well...not shocking in the least. What would've been shocking was actually watching her get gunned down or sniped or something, rather than she's there one second, and the next, there's an explosion. You want shock and awe? Try the scene in Call of Duty 4 where a nuclear device detonates, taking out an entire Marine battalion at least, including the character you play as. Now THAT'S shock and awe. Some may disagree, of course, but that's my opinion. The fact that it could be beaten within six hours makes it even less appealing. I know I'm not the first to say this, but games that aren't dedicated to multiplayer, such as Team Fortress 2 or Blacklight: Retribution, can't stand on multiplayer content alone. The only reason I'm giving this game a 4 rather than a three or a two is the Survival mode, which I actually enjoyed. Other than that, nothing really impressed me about Modern Warfare 3, which was a huge letdown. Expand

    Just like all the other call of duty games: exact copies of each other and they're all given great reviews by 90% of critics because critics are corrupt dogs who get paid extra to give things good reviews. Just look at the critic reviews compared to the use reviews if you don't believe me.

    -many weapons were recycled from older games. Also, there is only one, count it, ONE new attachment, the hybrid sight, which nobody even uses.
    -maps are all grey and blobish. They aren't horribly designed like they are in ghosts, they do feel kind if uninteresting.
    -massive balance issues. The type 95, fmg9, ACR, striker, and mp7 dominate the battlefield. Nobody uses anything different. Also, the assassin perk is way to powerful, blocking nearly every type of radar and surveillance. Having every weapon be the same is not balance, its just makes anything with remotely different stats OP.

    So yeah, If you have played mw2, you've basically played a toned down version of mw3. Can it be fun? Yes, but it feels like you are playing a mod rather than a sequel, and is to thank for the cod haters tradition of saying nothing has changed.

    Another lazy-effort money grab spit out by the CoD team. I'm probably about to peeve a lot of fan-boys, or as they're more formally known: 12-year-old boys who want aggression do to their frustration of puberty.

    +The multiplayer is enjoyable if you're looking for action. CONS: -The story is wooden, stiff, stupid, and boring! Only a person with an extra chromosome could say it is

    -If you're playing on PC, it is a god awful port, like all CoD games!
    -It is the same game! Why do people by this garbage! Play Black Ops, or MW2, or the best one - CoD 4, you wanna why? Because they're nearly the same team!

Modern warfare's story line also ended here, MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENT. the modern warfare story was its zombies, why we bought the damn game, now its over, soap is dead, Yuri is dead EVERYONE IS DEAD. The multiplayer could have saved this game, oh no. the multiplayer is incredibly linear(much like the campaign) but worse, because you have 12 people jammed in a tiny corridor trying to quickscope with some of the most god forsakenly overpowered weapons every made, save your money and buy cod 4, or even better battlefield 4.

It's not the same thing as Black Ops Combat Training which was an ultimate stress reliever and a great way raise up my ego. At least for this reason I chose PC version with bots mod.

But I'm not here to talk about how critics seem to kiss this particular franchises butt just because it's another Call of Duty game, I'm here to explain why this is just a bad game in general. What do most players of Call of Duty games do? They go straight to the multiplayer of course. However this games multiplayer is terrible, all the maps are boring and poorly designed and the colors used in the maps are dull. Guns are distributed where a high level CoD MW3 player will destroy another player with a lower level because the gun the high level player has is overpowered to the point of being unfair. Should i also mention that the servers in this game are less than fantastic leading to unfair deaths do to lag, and no i'm not a 4 year old complaining that he died cause his internet sucks I'm sincerely stating that MW3's servers are unreliable. The game adds in this survivor mode to try and replace the zombies mode in Call of Duty Black Ops, and while its an o.k game mode it doesn't come close to being as fun as the Black Ops zombies mode. The only redeemable thing about MW3 is the campaign. It's nothing to write home about but it is decent and well-done enough and completes the Modern Warfare story line in a satisfying fashion. I get it o.k? Call of Duty games are supposed to be similar to each other, that's just the way the series works. It supposed to be a game that gets upgraded graphics, new guns, and a couple new kill streaks so you and you're friends can enjoy some multiplayer. However MW3 is simply not fun, its muddy graphics and unfair gun layout make this game, for lack of a better word, bad. Get you're CoD on with some Black Ops, modern warfare 2, hey even world at war works! But stay far away from Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3. Expand

    I generally don't like too join the enormous and immature people that hate Call of Duty. But MW3 is seemingly the worst Call of Duty too date. Why?

They said they were taking out the many nuisances from MW2 and CoD 4 for a polished game. In reality, you get a Modern Warfare 2 expansion pack, expect with more restrictions (invisible walls galore). That isn't an exaggeration. This game is pretty much the same exact game. But this time around, it's boring. Bad maps, bad guns, bad perks and the new killstreak system just doesn't work.

    They also have a new Survival mode. Meant to compete with Treyarch's Zombies. It's fun for awhile but get's old really fast.

    On the surface, it is a polished game, but there just isn't any thing noteworthy or exciting. It just feels routine at this point.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Now before you think i hate this game because it is essentially modern warfare 2.5 well your wrong I hate it because its a terrible game on its own
    pros: Gameplay is still pretty fun, Makarov's death is just so satisfying when it happens, graphics are done well, sound design is flawless it sounds like what a war game should
    cons: the intro movie is awful, new players will be confused and would probably need to play modern warfare 2 (which i recommend you would get that instead of this) bullets flying through cover, the game is too easy I got hit by an RPG and lived ON VETERAN DIFFICULTY, Yuri's death feels like a cheap excuse to kill a russian at the last minute rather then a sacrifice to save Price. Enemy Ai is either the worst i have ever seen or the best I have ever seen (and not in a good way its like they have a supercomputer that comes up with 1000 ways to effectively defeat you) as for the bad AI lets just say enemy's have had guns in my face and just stared until i get bored waiting for them to shoot and just killed them. Soaps death doesn't have the impact it should and it felt to sterotypical. it is so linear, horde mode instead of zombies
    So there you go a bunch of reasons not to buy mw3 if you really need to know the ending just watch it on youtube. If you ever buy a COD game you would be better off with black ops, black ops 2 modern warfare 2 or even wait and see if Cod ghosts brings some cool new features along with dogs and fish. for all the fanboys probably raging at me you should know I dont hate call of duty just this

    MW3 made COD look like!@#$#$%$%$#$#%#***&^^$!!@#$%^&*. Today its not skill its camping. But no matter how many of us good players see this happening, it will only get worse. Hopefully Ghosts will change that (i doubt it). But we can only hope for better.

    Meh...

    This was nearly identical to MW2. Literally, I think they copied some of each level layout. Not only that, but the game is an awful port. We're locked at a console FOV, with poor optimization on high-end hardware. There are no dedicated servers, cheaters and lag abounds, and if my sticky reticule pops to one more enemy automatically I think I'm going to ceremoniously burn this

There is no reason on the PC to make the game aim for the player.

    Multiplayer has literally not advanced at all. Graphics are poor, the engine is out of date. There's nothing but lag, cheaters, and kids whining and screaming over their microphones every time they die. There are no new modes, and no unique guns. You get to choose between slightly different re-skins of the same gun, pretty much, because they're all equally bland and stiff to use.

    There are no advanced physics to enhance dynamic gameplay, still no vehicles, and the killstreaks are more cheap than fun at this point. Who likes to join a match where half your team is just getting insta-killed by a helicopter above the map? Roll the dice. You might not randomly die, between the latency, the aim assist, and the 20 foot knives.

    That's pretty much all this game is. Random death. Grenade spam, camping, quickscope abuse, and lag all contribute to one pathetic package of random death.

    It gets 2 instead of 0 because it's a functional game, and not a pile of slag that nukes your HDD.

    The game offers nearly nothing new to the series apart from a campaign with different missions with the same run here and shoot him tactics. Multiplayer is...

    Save your money and buy a better CoD. This is just a repeat of MW2. If you want a good and engaging call of duty, get MW1. Things have gone downhill with this franchise everytime they release a game. But of course the game has a huge following of younger children who love the game because it has explosions and blood.

I felt as though the title of this game would've been better named "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.5." This low quality and low entertainment of this game, (in my personal opinion) was heavily influenced by the firings of Vince Zampella and Jason West, who were the heads of the developer company infinity ward before being fired for supposed "insubordination." As West and Zampella left, 38 infinity ward members left as well, leaving an insufficient amount of untalented developers and programmers at the head of MW3. As a longtime COD fan, (specifically the modern warfare series,) I found it thoroughly disappointing that this game did not meet the usual gusto and new found excitement that the other two games upheld, which is why I rated this game 4/10.

    After playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and all the previous games in the franchise (Since 2007, as we generally do not care about the WW2- themed games before Call of Duty 4, said games having stopped being produced after the 90's), there are several concepts I am beginning to grasp.

First, after playing the multiplayer for at most 2 hours per game, I am increasingly feeling that they should rename the franchise: 'Camping Simulation: Modern Tent Erecting'. If you've played for more than an hour, you'll know what I mean. This is a distinct (but not the sole reason) why the multiplayer has gradually become a mind- numbing, boring, irritating experience which generally would put anybody with an ounce of sanity off the franchise completely. Second, both Infinity Ward, Treyarch and Sludgehammer games are becoming increasingly lazy- probably because they're too busy bathing in the money they get from all their previous games and the overpriced map packs they subject the online community to- and have descended into more or less not caring in the least about how good their content actually is; the story line for single player mode was anticlimatic considering where we left off with Modern Warfare 2, the multiplayer was unplayable and 'Spec Ops' was tedious as the day is long. Third, after looking at the reality-defying sales figures considering how much of an utter travesty the game was, it is clear to me that the title 'Call of Duty' is simply associated with popularity. Get 50 million dogs to in paper bags and slap an official 'Call of Duty' sticker onto each bag and sell them in game stores and by the end of the month you'll have made hundreds of millions of dollars. The only reason people aren't doing this to get rich quick is because of Copyright and Animal Cruelty laws, but neither apply to those actually responsible for the franchise and subjecting the world to it; watch out, they might try this tactic with Modern Warfare 4. Finally, after playing the game and looking at critic reviews, it appears that game critics are either under the control of Activision, have mental issues or enjoy heavily abusing amphetamines before they make a game review. How anybody could make it past the title screen without raging about how they wasted $60, let alone playing the game for a while and concluding that it's good is totally beyond me. Now for the only two positives, as we should always leave on a good feeling!

    The only two things good about Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, in my opinion, are:
    1. It made Black Ops actually look playable, which I didn't think was possible before I played Modern Warfare 3.
    2. It helped me to decide whether I should buy Black Ops 2 or Assassin's Creed 3 the next year. Having an actual functioning brain, I of course chose Assassin's Creed 3. And guess what. It was actually a pretty decent game.

    Had the lawsuits never happened, this might have been a different story, of a game with changes akin from CoD4 to MW2, but well never know. Everyone suffered by getting this instead. MW4 may be different this year, but its got a tough act to follow now that Black Ops 2 actually did some change to the series

    Another Call of Duty another clone from last year.The single player campaign is a joke lasting only 6-7 hours and having a very generic story.

The voice acting is average, there aren't really any characters in the game you'll like or care for as there all bland and uninteresting plus the game doesn't tell you anything about them anyway. Now onto the catastrophe that is multiplayer god where to start...oh i know just look at Modern Warfare 2 and there you go, it's the exact same broken multiplayer from that game.The matchmaking still joins you up with matches that are one second from finishing,the spawn system is still broken making you spawn in front of enemy players. The list goes on, Don't buy this game. Expand

    Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 isn't anything special.

    The game is pretty fun, obviously since it's an action movie on steroids, and the game is good, but of course it is. It was released twice, the biggest problem is it is a copy of number 2, if this wasn't the case it would have a higher rating. And when I rate I assume people are looking to see if they want to purchase the game, which is why the rating is low because it isn't worth your money.

    washed over, dirty and dark colors and textures, horrible lag, poorly made maps and a terrible campaign (a bit exaggerated). This game is just poorly made and the only reason you can play it is because it is a bit addictive.

    As a stand alone game, its multiplayer is a fun little shooter that causes just enough chaos to make everyone stand on their toes and spray bullets everywhere. The campaign's gameplay is not that notable besides the slightly interesting story, and is basically 8 hours of shooting wave after wave of Russians and terrorists, which can be fun at times, but is nothing special.

HOWEVER, as a sequel to the Call of Duty series, it is a piece of, for a lack of a better word, garbage. It is a rehashed modern warfare 2, with even the same graphics engine. Bringing basically nothing new to the table besides a few maps and gameplay types, the campaign is a boring trip of gruff voice acting and lots of explosions. The multiplayer is literally the same thing, you could even call it a DLC for Modern Warfare 2. This game was like a Michael Bay movie... Expand

    If I continually brought the same essay to school, my teacher would fail me. When Call of Duty releases the same game every year it is rewarded with 9/10 reviews and record sales numbers. If I changed the font it wouldn't make a difference, so I can't see why fans and reviewers are time and again fooled by new gun skins and tweaked gameplay mechanics.

The game continues to use the same gameplay techniques from 2007's Call of Duty 4 which have long become stale and overused, the franchise has no right to remain in action after such an appalling attempt at making a game. Maybe its time Call of Duty should bite the bullet and let a more deserving title take centre stage. Expand

    I have A LOT of problems with this game from singleplayer to multiplayer first of all the campaign they kept a character that should of been dead and his name is Soap he had major injuries that had to been treated soon even with the the thingy that price gave him and he got his treatment in India when he came cross country from Afghanistan in a little heli and the Delta Force part of theI have A LOT of problems with this game from singleplayer to multiplayer first of all the campaign they kept a character that should of been dead and his name is Soap he had major injuries that had to been treated soon even with the the thingy that price gave him and he got his treatment in India when he came cross country from Afghanistan in a little heli and the Delta Force part of the story doesn't make sense either for some reason the Russians are using an old weapon they never used before and that they don't speak **** RUSSIAN!! Now the multiplayer part first its the weapons and a lot of them are over powered and are given random stats no matter the FPS of the weapon or the calibur of the bullet the weapon takes except for AT launchers and Sniper Rifles. Now the ranks, the highest rank or level is 80 or general but you rank up very fast so theres prestige to take care of that but pretty much resets your rank and progression and gives you nothing in return but an icon next to your level. Unlocks, when you level up you unlock stuff but a lot of the stuff you unlock there usually pretty useless epically when you reach level 80 you unlock the worst gun in the game AK-47 and worst AT launcher in the game RPG-7 and the ability to reset your rank and progression which is pretty stupid. Overall Gameplay, the only gametype in the game that is moderately fun is Teamdeathmatch, and the game is in no way intense and loaded with Trolls and little whiny kids that have there kinect on, there's no teamwork or coordination with the players almost all the time so you just run around getting kills or getting killed.
    And that's my constructive criticism about this game if you read thank you for pulling trough this.

    While the multiplayer delivers it eventually starts to feel like the same game as the others it feels as though all the guns do the same thing and the campaign is exciting but very short the deathstreaks and perks ruin the multiplayer and it loses it's replayablity spec ops is exactly the same as before and survival mode is less then impressive downgrade of zombies

    Ultimately, Modern Warfare 3 feels similar to it's brethren, but that doesn't mean it isn't a great game. The single player element is still exciting, and multiplayer has more options than ever – if you're a fan of Call of Duty, Modern Warfare 3 is a no brainer.

    Modern Warfare 3, while still an excellent thrill ride in its own right, feels far too similar to MW2 or even Black Ops for my taste.
  3. I never expected Modern Warfare 3 to go toe-to-toe with EA's juggernaut this year, but it came out of the gates with a tour de force campaign and co-op mode. It loses points with a perhaps too-familiar multiplayer that caters to the juvenile on Xbox Live; though don't be mistaken, Modern Warfare 3 is one hell of a shooter and a highlight for a series that just won't die – no matter how much we wish it bloody would, at times.
