    This game is **** They've all been the same since CoD4 and all you god damn sheep still buy them. Grow up and get a mans game like Skyrim or BF3. CoD is killing itself and you need to realize that.

Most of the assault rifles sound the same, the map design on multiplayer is horrible, the animations are exactly the same from COD4, most of the emblems and call signs are exactly the same from mw2, all the same sound effects when you level up, same voices. The only good things about this game are the spec ops, but that's not saying very much at ALL. The campaign was also dissapointing for all the hype it was getting. It's really obvious that this game took a huge hit when half of infinity ward left. When it comes to graphics, there is only minor polish. Not much at all. Sure this game has sold insane, but now I think fans are just tired of the same old thing year after year. COD is eventually going to end up the same as guitar hero and tony hawk: a dead franchise. I read some of the user scores, and a lot of you are saying exactly what I'm saying, but yet you still give it 9s and 10s. If that doesn't scream fanboy I don't know what does. It's been a long run with COD since the beginning, but MW3 is the last COD game I will ever buy. Save your money for skyrim, arkham city, or uncharted 3. Plenty of other games out that are way better.… Expand

The campaign is more of the same. You play multiple characters as you make your way through a story of what can only be described as "sensory overload" of having to move from point A to point B while shooting pockets of seemingly endless spawning bad guys. Long story short, I got the feeling of been there, done that. Even de ja' vu at times. Story won't blow your mind; however, it does do it's best to tie up loose ends in this trilogy. If you loved the previous two games, you will like this. Can be a little "samey, samey". You know, like Michael Cera's movie characters. Seen him in one movie and that is what you can expect in every single movie you will ever see him in. The multiplayer is more of the same, as well. If you like the previous games, you will like this one; but, may experience some burnout if you were on your way there in previous installments. At this point, I am digging it; but, I will see how many more "Michael Cera characters" I can stomach before it becomes just annoying.… Expand

I gave the last game they sold a pass because I thought they were just going to make up for it on this one. here's the thing, this game is exactly like the last three games I have played. So much so that it takes away from the fun and originality that could have been possible with any amount of risk taking or changes in the game. The fast-pace arcade style game just got even more fast paced, and now feels almost like a cartoon. I mean sure, when your standing still the graphics are pretty amazing, but who stands still in this game? Who even has the skills to stand still in this game? People stop caring about graphics when they are trying to rack up as many kills as possible in a constantly moving dead space. I gave it a try I really did. Maybe I'm growing old (being a huge fan of the ww2 based call of duty 3). I've seen it through the last 7 years, I've watched the COD game creators turn from genius and uninhibited fun makers, to plain Janes - who milk cows dry (for the simple fact they can).

    ahh why critics why did you give this game so much positive feed back the only things they did was add a map pack in the multiplayer added some tweaks to guns and killstreaks. The story line yes the game is good for the story line is good and have some memorable moments but overall its just the same game as modern warfare 2. Over all the game is a meh for me.

For those who are browsing these reviews looking at all the negatives, I advise you to ignore them. They're either trolls or people who get kicks out of venting their anger. Either way, no game deserves a 0 unless it is completely broken or unplayable from the start, which it surely isn't. With that being said, if you're thinking about getting this game, ask yourself: "do I enjoy Call of Duty multiplayer?" If the answer is yes, then you will enjoy this game. It's as simple as that. The multiplayer does have new features; they're not mindblowing, but they are there. There are new maps, weapons, perks, killstreaks, etc. Call it Modern Warfare 2.5, an expansion pack, or a clone if you wish. The fact is, the multiplayer experience was already a good system, which they improved upon. It's more accessible to new players while still retaining its appeal to hardcore players. the ONLY--and I do mean only--complaint I have of the game is concerning the maps. Most of them are small, filled with buildings that cater to CQC players such as SMG/Shotgun users.

It's been said for the last year, and it almost must be compared to Battlefield 3. A game that brings a fresh look at how massive multiplayer can be done with an amazing engine releasing a couple of weeks before this copy-and-paste shooter leaves much to be desired.

Very hard to get killstreaks and feels way too rushed. As a fan of both MW2 and BO, i think the game's dynamics were changed too much. I would've preferred multiplayer to be just an upgrade of MW2, including changes to the levels and killstreaks and a few tweaks to the perks. The thing with franchise releases is that we learn to love them for what they are, so why change that??? This game is like the reject child of the family, rushed out too early & failing to meet 2011 benchmarks. This game feels oddly strange to play, even though it's part of the Call of Duty series it's nothing like the predecessors. Also the fact that you have to wait to level up before the better perks are available, given that you get little ammo for weapons to begin with and the perks are in the wrong sequence. Big shame to the developers of this game as it hasn't lived up to the hype. Hard to say if the franchise should make big changes or not to the series, I for one prefer just an "upgrade" rather than major changes. My vote goes to BF3 this year for the better FPS shooter.… Expand

They're both perfectly good games, so play whatever you like.

    This review is based only on MW3's multiplayer. At the time of this review, I'm still only a few hours into the campaign, I haven't touched Spec Ops, but I've invested 20+ hours in multiplayer. That's how I play every Call of Duty game. I bought the game specifically for the multiplayer, and for me that was worth the $60 USD. I personally wouldn't advise anyone to buy a COD game only for the single player campaign. I always play the campaign eventually, and enjoy it, but I don't think a COD campaign is worth the full $60 USD investment. Most of the campaigns are a 10 hour, very linear, but very cinematic experience.

    MW3's multiplayer is the most balanced and fully realized of all of the COD games that I've played. While we all have a particular iteration of the series that we've put the most hours into and feel the most attached to, MW3 feels the most clean and equitable after years of tweaking in the series. If you can still burn hundreds of hours on the multiplayer, or if this is your first COD game, I highly recommend it for the multiplayer experience alone. If you're burned out on COD multiplayer or never liked it to begin with, then there's no reason to buy this one.    … Expand

    This game is horrible and is a disgrace to COD 4. I have been a modernwarfare fan since that iteration and I keep getting let down with this shovel ware

    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.

    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.
