    Never once have I felt so betrayed by a game developer. That they honestly want to treat their customers like this. They didn't even try to lube it up. It was just rough from the beginning. No foreplay, just plain shiat, from start to end. Wauw.

    Another MW game, and this time, they didn't bother to hide the fact that they were reusing textures and building from the fourth installment, or that they hardly changed anything about the overall gameplay. In fact, they seemed to have taken a step back from their newer game, Black Ops, opting for a tired out MW2 system. Brainless fun, a junk food of a game. Save your 60$.

    This feels exactly like the the last two Modern Warfare games. All they've added was some new content, and nerfed things here and there.

    If you've played MW2, or Cod4, expect the same game. Activision doesn't like making new content, they're just milking a dry cow at this point.

    MW3 is boring, I am sooo glad I paid $60 for MW2.5. The campaign is horribly boring, I quit half way through because I have better games to play. This season has too many good games to waste your time on this one.

    it was copy paste from MW2 and I think no thing change in the game from MW2 it is like take MW2 and give the player DLC and change the poster and the number and some other staff. so I thin they desire 0

    The single player is the same old linear action movie wannabe ripoff that it always has been. Multiplayer has been changed up slightly but for the worse. Elite is a total ripoff. If you want a better Multiplayer experience go play battlefield 3.

    Video Game Industry needs creativity, innovations, surprises;
    Call of Duty : Modern Warfare 3 represents Fast Food Game served every year with the same sauce.

    If we want to raise videogame to art, it's the time to think different : Stop just making money and explore unknown lands of gaming....

    Same game, different title. While I'm actually embarassed I bought this, i'm even more embarassed I put faith in it that it would be even remotely good and bought the $300 Turtle Beach MW3 "Delta" headset along with the game. Oh well, at least I got a badass headset out of all this.

    So the MW3 Devs wanted me to review the game if I liked it? Well to sum it up, no I don't.

    Call of Duty is ruining the video game franchise with every single release. The rating of 3.0, is 3 points too high. The game is a carbon copy of MW2. They've used the same engine for 5 years and they're just stealing your money now. But if you feel like throwing your money at crappy games then MW3

    I already own MW2, got Black Ops and was expecting something more from MW3 I guess. What I got was MW2 with BLOPs Zombie mode minus the zombies. All the maps are so vertical and have the same dirty look. There are so many corners that now getting caught in a good firefight is a thing of the past. None of these maps are memorable and can't even come close to classics such as Cliffside, Eder Dam, Terminal, Crash and Backlot.

Would you justify to pay 60$ for a new patch instead of a new game? I rather not. Activision Devs did not make same effort compare to the Dice Devs. Dice created BF3 as a new game with brand new engine, everything is a refresh, so BF3 worth 60$ price tag, but not the MW3 which they had simply reskin the texture and rescript the single player. So here's my conclusion, my money is wasted on the COD:MW3. I'll stick with BF3 until the next MW4 vs BF4. Expand

I'm sorry but anyone who continually supports this company in producing glorified add-ons that get labeled as full releases is an absolute zombie. If we as consumers keep paying full price for games that do nothing to advance the medium or even simply the genre then what message does that send gaming developers? It's ok for you to just feed us the same crap over and over again? No need to be creative and try something new? Don't bother putting actual effort into new releases? How about all of the above

    The CoD franchise has become an enigma, on the one hand it shows just how popular, and essential to entertainment gaming has become. On the other hand it also shows you everything that is wrong with the current state of the industry and their attitude towards consumers. An attitude that is born of our own fault of course. We have the power to change it, the question is, will we?

    This game is not worth money. It's the same as CoD 4, with only few changes. The graphics are dated because of the very old game engine. The only new thing, single player, is about 3-4 hours long and very linear and has annoying spawning enemies. Save your money for something else.

Shameless unbalance, lazy and horrible map design and possibly the most immature community to date (I thought this game was an 18? What are little kids doing on it?). Luckily I wasn't sucked in by the same hype that's been everywhere lately, despite Activision's shameless attempt of trying to gain publicity by leaking the video of the girl getting blown up, and as such I didn't expect much from this game, I was still disappointed however, and feel the only good part of this game is the fact it's the last one in the series. But knowing IW and Activision they're try and shovel 5 more games with less character and gameplay than the last.â Expand

    Call of Duty is the same game every year with just a new campaign which is real short and haves reused elements from the previous Call of Duty games and just a few new features added to the multiplayer component which never takes a dramatic leap from the previous "cut and paste" Call of Duty game, unlike the amazing creators at Dice which is more focused on quality rather than profits.

The point of my review is to allow people to know that they are being fooled into buying the same game every year for a high price from a company who keeps milking a large franchise for only profits and not to give their loyal customers a quality product, it explains why Modern Warfare 2 is still $60 at retail stores. Plus the CEO of Activision even announced a new Call of Duty for 2012, talk about milking the cow!

    So if you want to keep buying a low quality product from a company that only cares about money then go ahead, just know that you are being fooled!

    I played it online for 2 hours most of the matches were lagy and glitchy. people walk through the walls WTF. even though I played and still the same thing almost nothing new. The seams to be just copy paste form the previsions games Black ops and Modernwarfare2. We need something new come on this is not hard is it.

    Not anything new really. They have just taken somethings form other CoD and bunched them together. Somesay that there are new thing but if you think about the developers have taken it from other games. A new engine and dedicated servers would make the game better and they should try to make it less "arcade-ish". Don't enjoy the maps at all and Survival mode is so blend.

    There was a time when games were praised for their originality and innovation. Call of Duty has lowered the bar. The storyline sucks as does the gameplay.

    Played this game for an hour and realized it was just Modern Warfare 2.5. If you are under the age of 12 and looking for a ADD twitch shooter this is the game for. This game has no learning curve and is not a competitive shooter by any means.

    Save yourself some money and get modern warfare 2, or better yet purchase battlefield 3. This game only feels different to modern warfare 2 not better, same game just somewhere else. To be honest it feels like a retaliation release to battlefield, something that was rushed and wasn't particularly well thought through.

    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.
