Jan 9, 2014A disappointing sequel to MW2. short and boring story, boring multiplayer, and a really boring survival mode. It's all repetitive of MW2 and very unoriginal. The graphics are the same exact as the previous and the story is way too predictable. Not worth your time or your money.

Jan 4, 2014Modern warfare 2 Over priced DLC. Good as a stand alone COD game but will only please fans of Modern warfare 2 if you really want a slightly polished of version of it or if you get it cheap and you know what you are buying, otherwise this game was a complete rip off at release.

Dec 23, 2013No bots in offline multiplayer no fun to me. I don't care there is a survival mode. 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. Makes me feel I can earn over 9000 AC130s in a single match

Nov 28, 2013seriously what is the problem in innovate a little in the why they always do this with us,i hated this game,it is almosta copy of modern warfare 2,most disapointing game of the year.

Nov 24, 2013I played this with my friend, who is a CoD fan, and I got to say I was very unimpressed. It seems to be recycling the same garbage over and over again, to the point where people are just so confused onto the way that games are made.

Nov 18, 2013I have no CoD games, but I play this one at my friend's house, and we play 2-person co-op survival, wave after wave of goombas sent at us. And I think that's fun enough that I want to keep playing for a couple hours each time. It holds my attention better than most games these days.
-
Nov 2, 2013This game is the exact same as Modern Warfare 2. It adds nothing in terms of game play or fun. It's the same repetitive garbage that has murdered the FPS genre's credibility.

Oct 30, 2013The game is alright. it offers some decent gameplay and the plot will put you at the edge of your seat and toes. More importantly it put some closure on the storyline. The guns playable are decent if some what inaccurate but that's video games for you.

Oct 17, 2013Cod MW3 is only good at multiplayer The single player is not so great Multiplayer on the other hand it's deep cuztomizable and good .the major flaw is the single player and the games presentation they're not presented well

Sep 15, 2013I sure hope activision make an actually new game sometime, the old formula from 2007 is dull. I can't believe they can make so much money re-releasing the same with the same assets, textures, and gameplay year after year. I can forgive sports games but this is a joke.
-
Sep 9, 2013The reason people hate call of duty so much is because of this game. They basically took modern warfare 2 made the graphics worse and added a boring survival mode that fails to compete with trey-arch's zombie mode. This game is awful.

Sep 2, 2013Estoy en desacuerdo con los usuarios que califican a este como una mal juego, si, puede ser que la historia de esta versión de CODMW sea un poco similar a sus anteriores versiones del la saga, pero eso no des merita este gran juego que con su gran jugabilidad en linea y modos de juego logra hacer un buen juego que complace mis expectativas.

Aug 12, 2013The campaign for this game is great but the whole game is almost identical to Modern Warfare 2. The characters and missions are good but the middle of the game is boring and it has repetitive combat. I did really like the game as a fan of infinity ward. The multiplayer is fun too.

Aug 9, 2013Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 is a good game, but there are certain glitches and the Multiplayer is not much organized, as well for the spawns. But for the cause I give this game a 6 rating for addicting content such as Chaos Mode or Survival, and polished graphics. Those must be all I guess.
-
Aug 7, 2013This sucked. Can't even compare to Cod 4 or MW2. Multiplayer sucked, campaign alright, and words can't describe how terrible survival was. Survival was an attempt to replace zombies but it absolutely sucked. Stick to Treyarch, Infinity Ward sucks now.

Jul 4, 2013MW3 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.

Jun 29, 2013The game engine is out of date in 1999. boring, dull, is base. The sound in the game is terrible, the weakest game in the series. Battlefild 3 compared with that as a gold ingot.

Jun 19, 2013This game was a waste of 60 dollars in my opinion. I did not enjoy my time with this game. They got rid of all that made MW2 good and kept all the crap. It might as well have been called Modern 2.5. Plain ans simple I did not enjoy my time with this game, it just got me frustrated that's it.
-
Jun 18, 2013The 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... Well play MW2 or MW and you know absolutely everything you need to know. Only thing that kept me playing were some interesting action scenes that occurred.
4 out of 10 -
Jun 11, 2013This one of the worst games ever the game is laggy and the only players are 3 year old kids and the game is boring as hell in short don't buy this pice of game or don't buy any other COD because they are all terrible the only good COD game is COD world at war which is a great game but we are not reviewing that game we are reviewing MW3 which is terrible so in short don't buy it sucks

May 29, 2013Don't read the user reviews, those people are dumb and expect to much, they don't appreciate what they get even though its everything the you could want, its a great game and if you want a legit review read the ones by the critics.
-
May 27, 2013Save 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.

May 22, 2013Hold on, 5,500 negative reviews on this game? That's just stupidity. Yes this game is more of the same, but thats exactly what most of you people wanted. The storyline is tied up perfectly, multiplayer is an improvement and overall it's a decent game. Definitely doesn't deserve a 3.3.

May 4, 2013It works, but it's not as good as the others. A slight shame to the Call of Duty series, but not as big a mess as Declassified. 6/10 Sentry Busters riding on horses.
-
May 2, 2013Why are there so many trolls.If you were expecting a different game,but i'm sorry,it's not going to change.The campagin is pretty good,multiplayer is great and spec ops is really fun.
-
May 1, 2013I was all hyped for this game because modern warfare 2 was so addicting even with it's flaws and i was expecting the same addiction that i had before but was disappointed and after 3 prestige's called it quits and couldn't handle the crappyness anymore and sold it at gamestop

Apr 19, 2013Very weak game. If this game isn't showing signs that Call of Duty is misses a step then I don't know what is. It adds absolutely nothing new. This is no exaggeration. I would rather play Pong or E.T for Atari than this garbage! Only thing good about it was the survival mode. For that I give it a 1. Not worth $60.00 ever!

Apr 12, 2013The most surprising thing about this game to me was that on metacritic people like it. Remember when call of duty was original, because apparently there was a time.

Apr 5, 2013I honestly just don't see how people are giving the game more than a five, the game completely falls entirely off the mark of just being too bland and being a blatant copy and paste of the previous Call of Dutys, the campaign is ok and just finishes off the "story", multiplayer is the same as every other call of duty game so now it's just grown tiresome and spec ops is nothing like zombies

Mar 20, 2013the graphics hadnt change the story its normal but boring i think the last mission was the best online is good i like prestige and golden guns only online saves this game from bad vote
-
Mar 17, 2013What a Horrible game, this game, blops 1, and blops 2 RUINED the COD series and could never be the same. This can show that a company cant even spice it up a bit, with Mw2 and 3.. they both have graphics and engines. They both suck. Dont BUY.

Feb 18, 2013Boring, repetitive, and uninspired campaign. Terrible and unbalanced multiplayer with overpowered explosive weapons. Not much different than MW2, yeah I know, but now they are asking for your money again for the same crap, and this doubles the crapness factor. This is the worst Call of Duty game ever made.

Dec 20, 2012In short, MW3 is a solid game, but not as good as Black Ops. The campaign isn't memorable and multiplayer has it's ups and downs. The survival mode, however, is a lot of fun.

Dec 13, 2012The 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.
-
Dec 11, 2012washed 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.
-
Dec 2, 2012This game is the reason I started playing FPS games again. Awesome action, great multiplayer and co-op modes.
I got immediate addicted to survival mode.

Jan 11, 2012Ultimately, 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.
-
Dec 28, 2011Modern 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.
-
Dec 12, 2011I 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.
