    I may have only played the game's multiplayer, but let's get serious here. Why do 90% of people buy this game? For the multiplayer.

I am overall pleased with the weapons and the killstreaks and such, although they do seem a bit worse than the MW2 system, so i give those a 5. The maps and servers however are terrible. The lag is tremendous because there are no dedicated servers and the maps are the worst of the past 4 COD games. They are flat with no multi-level fighting and awfully cluttered. Overall they are a disaster and receive a 0, therefore this game rates a 2 on my scale because it doesn't deserve to be rounded up.… Expand

    Game is Call of Duty. Nothing new. Mainstream **** Look at other game sequels, flourishing with new forms of innovation that bring to a title. This game has turned into something very similar to TV shows. The first few were good, gets pretty crappy afterwards.

    Played out.

    This is MW 2.5. For years now the call of duty franchise has been shipping out the same game year after year and making millions off it while games like Battlefield 3 put so much work into their games only to be outsold by a game we've all been playing since 2008.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Modern Warfare 3 is claimed to be the "Most anticipated game in history", as i recall from the launch trailer, yet, for some this may be true, but for others, it is not. The single player campaign has always felt engaging like the multi-player but with more control, like difficulty and pausing. The story is both a triumphant and tragic tale of where everything is lost, all to defeat a single man, and feels like a powerful conclusion to the story of Price and Co. The multi-player, however feels neither powerful, nor triumphant when victory is achieved, and the progression in multi-player feels unusually fast paced, and undermines many unlocks gained (apart from Gold camouflage of course, ha ha). The multi-player, however IS a great step-up from Modern Warfare 2's formulae of multi-player, promoting more "Gun-on-Gun action", for example. And whilst this is true, the sky seems just as saturated with point-streaks as any other CoD, making some Perk choices such as Blind Eye a must for an Anti-air class needed to prevent most targets from mowing down the team, or just your self in the the case of free-for-all. The strike packages are a great addition, but feel a bit too rewarding for some tasks, such as the support class granting an EMP after 18 point-streak, which may seem like a lot, but for the player with an overpowered class, the reward is always within reach. Overall, the multi-player feels like some changes are needed and some things simply removed. Some maps, for example, feel too small, and some feel too easy to exploit. While the multi-player is not the best, it still provides many hours of game-play, especially with friends, which, feels like the best group to play on-line with. The single player, while epic in its scenes and story, felt marginally brief for a first time play-through to simply absorb the story. The Spec-Ops, by the way is just as great as its predecessor and the survival is a neat addition, as well as the levelling system, making progress more worth the time.

    Overall, as a package, MW3 delivers to most, but not all. The Campaign is for a great story of a roller-coaster ride, Spec-ops for the dynamic duos of buddies who enjoy working together (or alone if desired) and the multi player is, as usual, the instant jump-in action station people hunger for.    … Expand

    It's polished, servers run well, looks great. I think the tweaks made to this iteration of the COD series really make the MP a bit more hectic and involved. The new Spec Ops survival mode is tons of fun with a buddy and the mission based spec ops is great too.

Don't get me wrong though, aside from this it is still a great game. I have fun playing, but of the last 4 COD games, my favorite is still Black Ops personally. MW was a revolutionary game, and they've copied that success for every single game since - it just seems like it's time for something new. What ever happen to innovation?… Expand

MW3 maps are trash , not fun .. they all have the same feel .. everything has invisible walls .. even bushes. This game really just feels like a expansion with tweaked multiplayer. I spent alot of time on MW2 , and even WaW and BOps , however am having a very difficult time forcing myself to play it. The single player is of course sort of neat .. but mainly only because of the special wow moments of the destuction happening in the background such as the falling of the eiffel tower. None of course is really interactive. The rest of the game is just shoot and take down a swarm of unrealistic AI enemies which are set to come when your player reaches a point or until to reach a set point to make them stop and continue with the story. Then as if a 60 Dollar price tag wasnt enough .. you can purchase a 50 dollar 1 year membership to basically get the expansions when games like Battlefield will have the first expansion and its free which is releasing in December. So just for the basic version plan on dishing out 110.00 Bucks to play everything. Modern Warfare 3 is a okay game .. however you can see the difference in quality from when Infinity Ward was truley a sole company and when the leftover Infinity Ward and SledgeHammer games get toghether and put out a "sequel"… Expand

Small steps are whats keeping this franchise from reinvigorating the FPS genre, but as a whole this is still a playable game, and by no means is it awful. Before Modern Warfare, we had WW2 games that were being played out. Were they terrible? No, but we were growing tired of playing the same thing over and over. It's much the same case here. Modern Warfare 3 is a COD game, and if you've loved the past games, you will love this one. I understand the gripes of people wishing for a brand new experience, but until this game turns into Future Warfare, or Musket Warfare, I think it's safe to say that the core experience will remain the same for at least a few more years.

They said that making them smaller would reduce camping **** the way they made the new maps only further encourage camping which ruins the gameplay experience. Also, the lag compensation and hit detection is worse than black ops which i thought was as bad as it could get, guess i was wrong. Anyways to wrap this up i give this game a 7 out of 10.

    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.
