Nov 11, 2011To laggy, nothing but running around, spawning close to enemy too frequently. I went back to playing MW2 and will checkout BF3 ....uh...when is MW4 coming out

Nov 13, 2011Is a terrible game, I hate when the camera moves when you shoot, also the multiplayer has enough errors as bugs that help one to cheat, and in campaign mode also has many bugs. This game is pure hype, the game sucks

Nov 15, 2011The beginning of the end for the Cod Franchise. Really really really really really really really really really really really really really sad that anyone would think that it was okay to sell this rehash/patch of MW2. Could have been dlc!

Nov 18, 2011Crap, Crap, Crap and Crap. This game is MW1.3. BF3 is a lot better, or even just get Skyrim. I thought this was going to be ok but i was worng..... It is stupid, same as CoD 4/MW2. Get a different shooter guys :)

Nov 19, 2011Have u seen how dated the graphics are. Everything is the exact same. Its a $60 map pack. Activison is just milking the Call of Duty series after all. People get ready for the next 6 map packs in a 2 months!

Nov 19, 2011Crap, this is buggy and terrible and should never have been released. The biggest waste of money I have ever spent. Shame on the company and shame on this game for bothering to release this waste of a game!
-
Nov 20, 2011This game is a copy and paste of last years version. There is no real new gameplay or add ons. Its just a new addition to the continued story. The story seems like it was called in. No real thought or creativity to it. With all the great games to come out this one isnt a must buy. Go play Arkham City or Uncharted 3 instead.
-
Nov 21, 2011Unfortunately, Activision has turned this franchise into a yearly sports series. The gameplay is almost completely unchanged, the maps are dull and uncreative, the weapons, perks and killstreaks are almost all recycled from the previous games and the campaign is a 3 hour explosion.

Nov 22, 2011the campain was ok, but way too short and pretty much relies on set pieces to keep people interested, i have only played spec ops 5 times but can honestly say iv never really enjoyed it. when i first played multiplayer i loved it but after a day it just got boring, should have just been a map pack for mw2

Nov 10, 2011This game is the same as the one before nothing is different. The game should be called call of duty mw2.0 not 3. This series has killed squeals into improve on the one before it that used to accure.

Nov 8, 2011Same terrible community, same content. This might as well have been an 60$ map pack. I do hope this series has the same fate as the guitar hero series.
-
Nov 8, 2011I expected it to be the same. It actually is worse than black ops. a lot worse. the biggest problem I had was that survival was suppose to rival zombies. i can say it does not do this. too much randomness involved.

Nov 8, 2011It's a nice social network but I'm still getting used to facebook. I thought many of the features created unnecessary hurdles to connect with friends. It will import your facebook friends.

Nov 9, 2011It is almost as if IW paid every single critic to give a positive review....what a joke that critics are rating this game so high. I wish they were right....I am so disappointed by this game after such a huge and exciting build-up

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.
