    This is a RENT for the single player experience in my opinion. The campaign, while containing some plot point that I personally did not care for, was enjoyable.

Infinity Ward and Sledgehammer Studios' spec ops survival mode is an interesting answer to the zombies mode brought to us by Treyarch. The spec ops missions and the multiplayer maps may as well have been a DLC pack for Modern Warfare 2. The guns may have been retooled a bit (also knifing is best it's ever been), but it is largely the same experience, even down to the titles and emblems you can earn. The content is largely recycled from previous games, which would have been alright if it were mixed in with an appropriate amount of new unlockables. Overall though I would stick with Black Ops or Modern Warfare 2 for your multiplayer experience.… Expand

    MW3 is easily the worst Call of Duty to date. The campaign is short (and story is absolutely terrible), multiplayer is more of the same, and the game's overall feel just seems like a slightly beefed up MW2.

    Modern warfare 3 is a great installment to the franchise adding more additions to the franchise then before. Special ops is my favorite its like playing as a master chief in the middle of a battlefield 3 match. Campaign is a bit of a sigh. Multiplayers fun like black ops i like throwing knives better then tomahawks.7.5/10 rounded up to 8.

The moment I started the game. The freaking MENU is THE SAME! The ONLY difference being the damn background is a darker green. I decided to start off with the campaign. Couldn't finish it. It was so predictable and run-of-the-mill I named off the events before it even happened. I honestly didn't care about the story enough to finish it,

    I moved on to Multiplayer, and half the guns were taken from MW2. (Including the guns that are the same, with one letter switched.) The map layouts were very poorly designed and I found myself spawn-killed easier than in MW2 (Didn't think it was possible).

    I moved onto Special Ops. This part was probably the best part of the game, and if I were to rate it, I would give it a 4. The missions were less-than "Meh" and the survival mode was simply unplayable by yourself. (Unlike the much better Zombie survival on Black Ops). It's kind of hard to live when you have 5 supershielded gunmen with suicide bombers on your back while a chopper is shooting you from the sky.

    Td;dr: Predictable story, Bad multiplayer mechanics, Too little change from MW2, Survival is dumb on your own and the Spec Ops missions are below meh.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. One thing has to be said before I start the actual review, the game is decent, not excellent. Now with that out of the way, let's delve into the meat of the game. The campaign is one of the best of the Call of Duty series, (the best of the Modern Warfare trilogy). The gameplay is your typical FPS, run, shoot, run again, shoot again. However, there are ocasional stealth parts, but last for all of a minute, and then you go back to the basic mechanics. As I said, the story is one of the best in the Call of Duty series. This campaign ties up all loose ends in the series. We find out the problems that have occurred from the previous games (in the story) and leaves you with (of course) a cliffhanger ending. The story is only 5-7 hours. This is no longer acceptable. You can probably get through this game in one sitting. Now the multiplayer. If you are like me, you have played every Call of Duty since Call of Duty 4. The game get's very old, very quickly. With very few new weapons (with different features). There are however, many more gameplay types (most of which are addicting and fun). This does not save the multiplayer at all. For those who want to experience Call of Duty first hand, pick this up. For those who are achievement hoarders, you may just want to rent this and kill a few hours on a Saturday.… Expand

I bought it because my friends were saying, "Oh, this is gonna be awesome! Way better than Black Ops! You should play it with us!" While I said it looked exactly like Modern Warfare 2, one of my friends claimed, "Don't fix something that isn't broken." Unfortuantely, I had forgotten how broken Modern Warfare 2 was, and how desperately it needed to be fixed. So, while Black Ops got a lot of things wrong, Modern Warfare 3 got hundreds more things wrong.

    Campaign: Probably the most plot-hole riddled garbage I've ever had the misfortune to play. While the level design is decent, the actual setting and story was horrendous, even worse than Modern Warfare 2's campaign. What happened to Infinity Ward making good stories? COD4 had a brilliant story. Modern Warfare 3's story sucked.

    Multiplayer: This is where the real bashing begins. Since Multiplayer is a copy-paste from MW2, everything that Infinity Ward got wrong in Modern Warfare 2 is also wrong in this game. Balancing is off, the spawn system is broken, and griefers and hackers run amock trying to troll players. They even failed to get the thing they tried to emphasize in this game:gun-on-gun gameplay. Point streaks are the only thing I don't disagree with, but you'll hear hundreds of gamers complaining about how point streaks, "Take no f***ing skill."

    SpecOps: Fun for 3 weeks. After that, whether or not you've unlocked everything, I guarntuee you will lose interest.

    DLC: Downlodable content from Call of Duty is usually lacking in quality. MW3's DLC are no exception. And, with the inclusion of COD ELITE, Activision is trying to drain even more money off of their consumers. Honestly, what is this world coming to?

    Final Verdict: Awful, awful game. I don't know why all the mainstream critics say this game is good, and I'm actually starting to suspect Activision bribed them all to give MW3 a good score. While the formula for a Call of Duty game can still work, for me, it completely backfired and the experience feels exactly the same from Black Ops and even from Modern Warfare 2.

It feels extremely rushed (Expected, for a game that took 3 MONTHS to make) and leaves you questioning why you bought the game in the first place. Everybody uses the same four or five weapons, which even the user is forced to do, because they are intensely outclassed by everyone else. This game's multiplayer is also heavily based on connection. If a player cannot afford decent Internet, they might as well not play the game at all, due to bad servers. This game's community is horrible. A "normal" person might say that Modern Warfare 3's community is showered with lunatics and children. People start bickering about how "cool" or "Swaggilcious" (I can't believe I said it either) their clan is. I was forced to play a a gametype "Search And Destroy" with my friends, and everyone with a microphone was talking trash. I couldn't help but laugh at everyone. When I killed someone, they would accuse me of "hacking" and using an aimbot. I know what trolling is when I see or hear it, and I could tell the people in the lobby were being serious. Back to the topic of MW3's community, they will try their best to hurt your feelings, and they generally focus their hatred on people who aren't doing anything. This leaves the victims of the "trash-talking" confused. Overall, The campaign and the Spec Ops were good, but the multiplayer, the obvious main sellpoint of this game, was so bad, this game went down from an eight to a two.… Expand

The Spec Ops missions are interesting as ever, especially the new survival mode, and is fun to play with friends. The competitive multiplayer is where the game fails tremendously to impress me. Not only does the game offer almost no new innovation, but every problem from MW2 is back, and many of those problems are now amplified. If you want to play MW3 for the story, you'll be impressed, but not enthralled. If you want to play it for the multiplayer, more power to ya.

The multiplayer was NOT created or developed by either the companies hinting why it is different from the campaign and almost completely ripped from previous games from soundclips to weapons and scrapped maps which where re-tectured from MW1. Continuing the Multiplayer was in fact made by two companies, one being the notorious Treyarch which created Black Ops and World at War hints why the awful graphics from Black Ops returns, and the second company being a new company inducted to the COD developers called Raven Software who worked on titles such as Singularity and Prototype. My evidence for the proof of this is research prior to the game coming out as well as after. Although the retail box copy does not show companies other than Sledge Hammer and Infinity Ward, if you look in the multiplayer there are emblems of both Raven and Treyarch which are their company signias. Not only in the multiplayer but at the end of the credits in MW3 it shows both Raven and Treyarch under the multiplayer development and creation section.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a direct question to Infinity Ward: why are you guys, the original creators, trying to kill your own creation? Is this some kind of subliminal message to the community saying "Please help us, Activision won't let us make a different game" or something? It's funny, CoD4 is one of my favorite games on the X360 and MW2 was a let down on some levels but overall a good game. Now MW3; the game in which everyone was awaiting the conclusion to the story. And how was the story? Well it made the story of MW2 much better. Seriously, this was a dissapointment to me because I always thought that Infinity Ward always focussed on the structure in their plot lines and to see this is like seeing someone flip you off then that someone shoving their middle finger into your face. What I found really anoying was the major plot holes throughout the story. The biggest one is when you play as one of the Russian President's body guards. First, how are armed terrorists able to sneak into a plane that's filled top to bottom with secret service people? Isn't their job before every take off to completly search the entire plane for any threats? Second, where did the escort fighter jets go when things went t**s up? There are many more that would anger me even more. After completing the let down of a story, I went off to play Spec Ops. This was one of my favorite additions to MW2 and I was overjoyed to see it's return. The missions are fun and challenging and are more fun to play with a friend. However, some idiot at IW decided to add in Survival, which is their response to Treyarc's Zombies. Let me list the things that made zombies so popular. Black Ops's (and WaW's) zombies mode required team work and the ability to communicate with each other. You also have to worry about your points weather to upgrade or buy a gun. Survival is NONE OF THESE THINGS! Here's how you ALWAYS beat the goal. First, you and your buddy knife and steel the enemy's guns. Next, find a corner and surround yourself with sentrys, claymores, and C4. Finally, buy an LMG and keep refilling ammo. That's it. There is nothing really thrilling about this mode. What I thought was just lazy is that the multiplayer maps are the survival maps. No effort in making creative, interesting maps. And finally the multiplayer. This is just a cluster f***. The menu took me forever to get a hang of and once I did start playing, I realized a major problem. See, in my eyes, if a game gives me the ability to use a sniper, I should have the ability to use the sniper like a real life sniper would. So why on earth are ALL THE MAPS CLOSE QUARTER?! There is so much s*** in the way and there is no such thing as a big map. They're all small and the size of Favela from MW2 and then thrown in a bunch of cars to block your path. But the biggest dissapointment out of everything in multiplayer or even the game is the gold camo. In previous games, you had to work like crazy to earn gold on just one gun. But thanks to MW3, you can earn a gold camo for one of your guns in just 6 HOURS! So what is supposed to be an achievement turns out to be a usless pile of junk. This is not Call of Duty, not even slightly. What this is is a very sad display of when a developer wants to move on to something else but just can't at all. If you buy this, it's just a waste of money. I personally think that Treyarc should have all of the rights to the Call of Duty name since so far, their CoD games look, play, and feel better than Infinity Ward's CoDs. If you want a shooter which does have tons of replay value, get Battlefield 3. End of story.… Expand

    I've been playing MW3 for the past 5 months. Recently, I was playing teamdeathmatch online and noticed a change in my leaderboard stats. I went from a 1.45 k/d ratio to 1.03 ratio and lost almost 13000 kills. I contacted Activision and they stated their was nothing they can do and could not determine how this happened.

You would think they have a backup server that could just re-adjust my stats however it seems they are not willing to do this. Very frustrating to find out the past months was erased from your account. especially when it was earned by playing their game. The customer service representative told me the only way I can get that back is if I play more!!! Really? I should do that so they can erase them again? No point in playing that game anymore because they are more concerned with doing the minimum amount to ensure the servers are up an running. (there were those who were punished for some tokens hack and I wasn't one of them) If they can take away points for them, why can't they add them? Activision doesn't care!!!!… Expand

    I remember playing mw2 and I really thought that it could use a little more, and then with mw3 it just delivered and executed. the new multiplayer modes and survival are a very good addition and overall it just met and maybe surpassed my expectation

    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.
