    Okay, so this is my first time posting on this site and my first time ever really criticizing the call of duty franchise. To be honest, I was really hoping for something awesome here.

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).

    Same game slightly different scenery, even more mmo-wanna-be added. This game still cant make up its mind, is it a tactical game? Is it sun and gun? Is it an mmo? In another effort to be everything to everyone it ends up being mediocre at best. There are no tactics, little to no team play, constant un-preventable back dooring, pandering to the lowest common denominator of gamers.

    Treyach's black ops is so much better than this. This requires no strategy. Just keep on running and shooting. Plus the menu is much more complex. Black Ops is so much simpler. What not keep a consistent stats? Even the columns for Kills, Death and Assist is diff between Black Ops and MW3. This is not worth the price.

What i would have expected after all of the other games is improvement. What many get from this multiplayer are small unthoughtful maps, same grahpics as previous games, and a ball of frustration. Most of the maps are EXTREMELY small and after the first 3 or so minutes, people start spawning near each other and its all very confusing.. you kinda ask yourself , "wait, me and this guy cleared out this area, and then we both got taken out by some guy who just spawned in an area we cleared" This game is a major disappointment. I really do not know why all critics give this game such high review. These game critics do not have taste, because this game is not up to par. Other sequel games out there improve their game each time, but since cod4 the skins of the gun look the same, the map texture looks the same. Little has improved, but i've spent $60 for COD too many times.… Expand

    If you were to join the single player campaigns of all three MW games then maybe you would have value for money, If they are just selling a damn updated multiplayer experience (which isn't innovative) its clearly a scam. The last great COD game was COD4 and the last good single player was the campaign in World at War..I cared about Dmitri and was happy when the flag was planted on the Reichstag..

They added a revamped killstreak/pointstreak system, but that alone is NOT worth buying this game. Save your money and buy BF3 (that's where Activisions 2 founders went...[EA]) All I can say is that I hope they patch the game with the fixes VERY soon.

Then after much success with MW2 They Relase MW3, and i have to say that online multiplayer sucks majorly, and i dont say this through personal skills and scores, Im not perticularly sure if this game is played on a server or on a host connection, but whatever it is, doesnt work, if you have a slightyly less effective connection than the host, then thats it, your buggared, expect a Low K/D difference. A MAJOR example of this falls on one weapon, the type 95 assult rifle, if you are host, its one hit kill, if you are on a good connection, its one burst kill, and for the rest of us, it takes two bursts IF your able to hit them. Another issue i feel with the maps are that they are majorly small, in comparison with MW2 which had a wide variety, MW3 seems to be all small maps, with the addition of stupid spawn placements due to lack off space, its like Wetwork of Cod4 but shapeshifted to differnt shapes and levels, and this doesnt work, and no doubt map packs are to be released at a stupid amount of MS points. and the hype surrounding this game definatly doesnt live up to the reputation, if anything its been let down from lazyness.

    YES the setout for CoD works but NO we dont wanna pay £40 (or respected amounts in other currency) for something that could be relased as DLC with additional maps, guns, kill streaks, and attachments, because other than the Tweaks to the graphics, MW2 feels alot smoother gameplay wise. Recently ive seen people with hacked clan tags too, which shows how lazy they have been at *steeping up security* on the game, yes right now its only a clan tag, but it could easily turn out to have hacked servers, like that period on MW2 where you had automated unlimited noob tubes, i dont feel that the people behind the game take care of us gamers, and that other companies like EA and DICE do listen to the community. the only decent thing which is the only reason why it gets a mark is survival, which is a fun game mode for up to 2 players with much potential to either get better with DLC or broing if its just new maps. overall, if you want a more fruitful online experience, then Battlefield 3 is the way to go. And if you want a predictable end to the franchise then get MW3. #*SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!!!*# p.s everyone but Captain Price Die, which sucks.    … Expand

Constantly dying from behind when you just checked that spot a half a second ago. Die so fast there is no time to react. In Black Ops I could turn around and kill the guy half the time, not here, instant death. Three bars is impossible to play with(I have a 25/3.5 connection), bullets have at least a 500 ms delay; one shot deaths, dying before the enemy is even around the corner, pre-fire people just to die instantly, hit detection is horrid (watch theater mode and see your crosshair smack in the middle of his chest without any damage being done). Watch kill cams and half the time your bullets didn't even leave your weapon on their screen. Knifing thin air grants a kill, knifing from 10 feet away grants a kill, knife going to their skull does not grant a kill. Sniping is too easy, way too easy; snipers can shoot as fast as mk14 with zero recoil and 1 hit kills, scoping is instant and has zero sway. Throwing knife takes forever and doesn't register 99% of the time. Did I mention hit detection is horrible? Can't shoot through 99% of objects; chain link fence with a plastic cover is bullet proof, sheet metal as thin as paper is bullet proof. A perk is immune to CUAV, thermal scope, Advanced UAV. Juggernaut dies from one grenade. Killstreaks die too fast; pavelow ("heavily armored") gets shot down before it can shoot one bullet. Last stand is still in the game; deathstreaks are in the game. Elite fails at launch; trying to cut costs with minimal servers was a bad idea. Leaderboards full of boosters and hackers (more played time than the game has even been out). Too casual and noob friendly. I feel like I'm wearing paper instead of kevlar with the 1 to 2 bullet deaths. Players blend into the environment too well. The spawn system is broken; players spawning out of the blue not next to a friendly player, but behind enemies. Campers and noobs are rewarded too much. The SMGs all suck, no bullet penetration making double kills near impossible with them unless pulling host / 4 bars.

    Major problem with "head peaking"; On your screen all you see is the tippy top of their hair sticking out, where as they see their entire gun peaking over.

    Maps are OK, a few of them too cluttered with unwallable objects. All the rifles look the same. The sound is horrible; m60 sounds like it's shooting plastic, footsteps are barely distinguishable from ambient noise (I'm wearing headphones that hurt my ears from being too loud sometimes).
    Oh yes, match making takes forever; lobbies take longer to fill up than the game takes to end; not to mention the 45 second intermission between rounds causes people to leave simply from taking too long. Did I also already mention that bullets don't register half the time?
    Last few months of Black Ops was a FAR superior product. Perhaps MW3 simply needs time to patch problems. I still wonder why they request the help of an inexperienced (Sledgehammer) team instead of asking Treyarch who have plenty of experience. Graphics do not bother me, if I wanted good graphics I'd play PC; also 60 FPS with OK graphics is still superior to 30 FPS with great graphics when it comes to shooters. I would consider BF3 at this point but I do not like large maps and vehicles. So I am stuck playing this or nothing at all.    … Expand

Basically most people spent between 90 and 110 dollars and what did we get? WORST COD MP ever!!! I love Modern Warfare and with the few upgrades they did I thought it would be a good game. So whats wrong well I think I have spent an hour on Elite 50minutes of that waiting to get in only to get kicked out when I click a link. AWESOME I'm glad I can step up my game with that. But MP wise show the consoles some love with dedicated servers. I mean come on do I really need watch the kill cam to know that when I get 5 ticks and they hit me with 1 bullet (not a headshot) and i die? That I got screwed by connection. I get more lag in this game then Gears of War 2. I switch weapons get nothing I change tactics nothing I change perks kill streaks anything that I do is just a waste. Now you might think I'm just a bad gamer, well I'm not the best anymore because I have a career and a wife and a life but when I want to unwind I can't play MW3 thats just ticks me off ever more. I dont care about K/D I just want to relax and have some fun with friends but you made it impossible. THANKS FOR NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!… Expand

    Now almost everybody know:
    - too short and ridiculous single campaign
    - multiplayer very similar to previous CoDs
    - it should be rather DLC to MW2 instead MW3 title. For me it's waste of money and my LAST call of duty.

    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.
