May 1, 2013I was all hyped for this game because modern warfare 2 was so addicting even with it's flaws and i was expecting the same addiction that i had before but was disappointed and after 3 prestige's called it quits and couldn't handle the crappyness anymore and sold it at gamestop

May 27, 2013Save your money and buy a better CoD. This is just a repeat of MW2. If you want a good and engaging call of duty, get MW1. Things have gone downhill with this franchise everytime they release a game. But of course the game has a huge following of younger children who love the game because it has explosions and blood.

Dec 6, 2014MW3 lacks the iconic Call of Duty feel that we have become accustomed too. It feels at times like some cheap Call of Duty rip off, this limits it's potential and makes for an irritating lack of identity. The multiplayer maps are poor but the conclusion to the trilogy's story makes this instalment worth playing.

May 29, 2013Don't read the user reviews, those people are dumb and expect to much, they don't appreciate what they get even though its everything the you could want, its a great game and if you want a legit review read the ones by the critics.

Jun 19, 2013This game was a waste of 60 dollars in my opinion. I did not enjoy my time with this game. They got rid of all that made MW2 good and kept all the crap. It might as well have been called Modern 2.5. Plain ans simple I did not enjoy my time with this game, it just got me frustrated that's it.

Sep 2, 2013Estoy en desacuerdo con los usuarios que califican a este como una mal juego, si, puede ser que la historia de esta versión de CODMW sea un poco similar a sus anteriores versiones del la saga, pero eso no des merita este gran juego que con su gran jugabilidad en linea y modos de juego logra hacer un buen juego que complace mis expectativas.

Jun 29, 2013The game engine is out of date in 1999. boring, dull, is base. The sound in the game is terrible, the weakest game in the series. Battlefild 3 compared with that as a gold ingot.

Jul 4, 2013MW3 made COD look like!@#$#$%$%$#$#%#***&^^$!!@#$%^&*. Today its not skill its camping. But no matter how many of us good players see this happening, it will only get worse. Hopefully Ghosts will change that (i doubt it). But we can only hope for better.

Aug 3, 2013this game is a piece of crap it sucks and the storyline is boring the only thing that made me not give it a zero is its ok multiplayer gameplay this skrewed up the call of duty series and black ops put it back on track
my least favorite call of duty games are
call of duty MW3
call of duty
call of duty world at war -
May 4, 2014The absolute, garbage, pathetic, excuse for a video game that is Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 made me so infuriatingly angry that I have no choice but to give it a 0. Out of 10^10000000. I can't think of anything good from this game.

Aug 7, 2013This sucked. Can't even compare to Cod 4 or MW2. Multiplayer sucked, campaign alright, and words can't describe how terrible survival was. Survival was an attempt to replace zombies but it absolutely sucked. Stick to Treyarch, Infinity Ward sucks now.
-
Aug 9, 2013Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 is a good game, but there are certain glitches and the Multiplayer is not much organized, as well for the spawns. But for the cause I give this game a 6 rating for addicting content such as Chaos Mode or Survival, and polished graphics. Those must be all I guess.

Aug 12, 2013The campaign for this game is great but the whole game is almost identical to Modern Warfare 2. The characters and missions are good but the middle of the game is boring and it has repetitive combat. I did really like the game as a fan of infinity ward. The multiplayer is fun too.

Sep 10, 2018Story is at maximum good, not passing this, maybe the best (if it means something) in COD series. The point is only passing the time playing with friends and online, in aspect fun you can spend hours and hours with the game, the only reason for releasing a COD for year with the same engine and playability. In short, a game for the masses.
-
Sep 15, 2013I sure hope activision make an actually new game sometime, the old formula from 2007 is dull. I can't believe they can make so much money re-releasing the same with the same assets, textures, and gameplay year after year. I can forgive sports games but this is a joke.

Nov 24, 2013I played this with my friend, who is a CoD fan, and I got to say I was very unimpressed. It seems to be recycling the same garbage over and over again, to the point where people are just so confused onto the way that games are made.

Oct 17, 2013Cod MW3 is only good at multiplayer The single player is not so great Multiplayer on the other hand it's deep cuztomizable and good .the major flaw is the single player and the games presentation they're not presented well
-
Nov 28, 2013seriously what is the problem in innovate a little in the why they always do this with us,i hated this game,it is almosta copy of modern warfare 2,most disapointing game of the year.

Oct 30, 2013The game is alright. it offers some decent gameplay and the plot will put you at the edge of your seat and toes. More importantly it put some closure on the storyline. The guns playable are decent if some what inaccurate but that's video games for you.
-
Nov 2, 2013This game is the exact same as Modern Warfare 2. It adds nothing in terms of game play or fun. It's the same repetitive garbage that has murdered the FPS genre's credibility.
-
Nov 18, 2013I have no CoD games, but I play this one at my friend's house, and we play 2-person co-op survival, wave after wave of goombas sent at us. And I think that's fun enough that I want to keep playing for a couple hours each time. It holds my attention better than most games these days.
-
Jan 9, 2014A disappointing sequel to MW2. short and boring story, boring multiplayer, and a really boring survival mode. It's all repetitive of MW2 and very unoriginal. The graphics are the same exact as the previous and the story is way too predictable. Not worth your time or your money.

Feb 5, 2014When you first play the game you no what your getting yourself in to.
Gameplay. Now the gameplay feels like your in the story those slow motion scenes feel so epic I replayed the game again it's a beauty take my word for it if you have not brought the game you don't no what your missing -
Aug 25, 2014Call of Duty is an OK game at times, but it just sucks that gameplay is just so incredibly linear you more or less do the same thing throughout each game. I'd probably go as far as saying CoD is the most boring, popular video game franchise around. Makes me sleepy.
-
Apr 27, 2014Honestly, I think that this is the second best cod game behind cod 4. It has a decent enough campaign, a fun spec ops mode, and mw2s multiplayer without all the be. No overpowered noobtubes, no commando, and no one man army. This game is great.
-
Apr 28, 2014Call of duty mw3 is an amazing game. Infact its my most played cod! (: I dont know why i just love spec ops(survival is AWESOME!) the only thing thats dull about the game is most maps are not that great and the multiplayer feels dull and i played a ton of mw2 multiplayer but i didnt bther with this one 8.5/10 good game
-
May 17, 2014W T F with that user score?
Great game, out of a great franchise
The end of a long journey... so damn good to kill that bastard at the end..
for a fps gamer, this is a must-have (with the first and second too) -
May 30, 2014I honestly don't see why it has so many negative reviews. The campaign, characters, content, and graphics (of course, for graphics, keeping in mind when it was made) etc were all great and the game kept you entertained the whole way through. I grew to respect all the characters and enjoyed the missions you do with them. Very enjoyable experience.
-
May 28, 2014All the COD games are the same: "Here, Have a gun and kill these guys, They're the bad guys because we say they are!". Terrible plot, Same as the old COD games, The company is just milking the franchise for more money.

Jun 30, 2014This game is great. The campaign had a great plot and new levels. This game adds new things in Special Ops that we never seen before. The multiplayer is great fun and many different game modes you can do. The game is much more easier for new players to understand. The only thing bad about it is there are some bad maps, but in return there are some good ones. This COD is my favorite of them all.
-
Jul 14, 2014It's one of those call of duty games that are not that great but it has something to do with an extra feature like for example: Spec Ops. Spec Ops is got me interested in this game more than the campaign and multiplayer. Multiplayer felt too similar to mw2.
-
Aug 23, 2014Just like all the other call of duty games: exact copies of each other and they're all given great reviews by 90% of critics because critics are corrupt dogs who get paid extra to give things good reviews. Just look at the critic reviews compared to the use reviews if you don't believe me.
-
Nov 2, 2014A worthy successor to the Modern Warfare franchise, but not exactly trailblazing. The campaign was a nice book-end to the MW saga, and the multiplayer was serviceable. MW3's multiplayer introduced the "Specialist" system as well as the "attack" streaks and "support" streaks. These were big additions that have helped shape the CoD multiplayer. MW3 was a good CoD, it just wasn't the best.

May 16, 2016This game is alright overall. My favorite game was infected and drop zone, but some of the other modes I didn't enjoy as much as previous games. this game could have used some more effort in production.
-
Mar 2, 2015same thing said on ps3 computer,exciting campaign, good gameplay, fun multiplayer, so that linearity of the campaign, the plot has not surprises mw2 looks very same weapon even graphics
-
Feb 5, 2016Once again Sledgehammer and Infinity ward has farted out another lackluster Call Of Duty title, Modern Warfare 3, MW3 barely improves upon MW2, the HUD is exactly the same, the guns are exactly the same, and the campaign, is kinda interesting, but not enough that you'd want to slog through it. Don't buy this game, you will regret it. Buy Skyrim instead.

Oct 20, 2015A step back for call of duty. Essentially was MW2 level graphics with worse gameplay and maps. Campaign was satisfying though, especially at the end...

Feb 12, 2016when you shoot someone with a sniper there's to many hit markers. not only that there's too many hackers on-line which spoils the gaming experience because they get high prestige levels and all the guns. the only good thing about the game is the survival waves where you have to shoot the enemies and one juggernaut in the first round. and the ending where Markov dies.

May 9, 2016All Series Call of Duty MW is good . In MW3 many awesome and good moments . MW3 one of the best game in Call of Duty Series . Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 very interesting shooter , but this game has got not really good graphics . Graphics in Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 3 a little better than graphics in Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare . Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 is good game . 8/10 .
-
May 19, 2016A lot of people are giving this game bad reviews, especially a lot of user reviews. But i personally think that this game is the best in the Modern Warfare series. The storytelling is amazing told, and it isn't that far in the future. Voice acting is of course on point, and the multiplayer is also the best in the series. I was on the edge of my seat till the end

Jul 29, 2021Call Duty Modern Warfare 3 basic step to get the franchise in on the good game play that was in Call of Duty Modern Warfare , The campaigns in the last 3 games have been kind of disappointing and it's just say that Black Ops was a fever dream. It was an enjoyable popcorn experience so it's ok

Mar 26, 2017Liked the campaign as much like the other two modern warfare where now Russia has declared war on Germany US UK and France to emotional and good ,the multiplayer just felt like Mw2 it wasn't that much of a change.

Jun 21, 2020Call of Duty MW3 mesmo com tantos problemas, relembra os tempos de ouro da franquia que hoje já são passados.

Jan 1, 2018Modern Warfare 3 was one of my least favorite call of duty games. I loved Modern Warfare 2 and think that it is one of the best call of duty games ever made, but I felt like Modern Warfare 3 deviated from the spirit and gameplay of Modern Warfare 2. The maps weren't done well, the guns felt over powered at time and I never really had much fun. That is why I will give it a 6.1.
-
May 21, 2019Modern Warfare 3 has my personal favorite multiplayer in any Call of Duty game. It's kind of a shame it's got so many negative reviews...
-
May 31, 2018MELHOR CALL OF DUTY DE TODOS, me fez ter boas jogatinas no xbox 360.
PAU NO ** DE QUEM CHAMA DE MW2 2.5 -
May 21, 2021Personally, this is my second favourite call of duty game, behind black ops 2. While not objectively one of the better call of duty games, I have some incredible memories from this game that I will never get. That is why I love this game dearly.
-
Jul 30, 2018I always find myself coming back to this masterpiece. Solid story and an entertaining multiplayer experience that will have you plugging countless amount of hours into.
-
Sep 3, 2018I've always felt that this is the Call of Duty game that has the most replay value due to one vital component that has kept me coming back to it: Survival Mode.
Everything else is forgettable re-dos of MW2, but Survival Mode and the new Missions from the Special Ops mode will certainly keep me open to jumping back into what I would consider my favorite game in the series! -

Oct 12, 2021The End of the Original Modern Warfare Trilogy, personally my favorite story in the series, with even more action, and some fantastic & emotional missions, but a less enjoyable Multiplayer experience.

Apr 4, 2020One of the BEST Game i've ever played...
I am Sorry for the People who add Low Rate for This Amazing Game, They're Don't Deserve an Amazing game Like This... They're Not Gamer at All...Piss Off... -
Jul 22, 2019Great campaign, great multiplayer, amazing spec ops and survival! One of the best COD's in history. I highly recommend it!
-
Feb 21, 2021Easily the best CoD game in the franchise. Brilliant ending to the story, phenomenal multiplayer and excellent spec ops mode. You can play this for hours. (if you can find a multiplayer match today, although that isn't really the game's fault.)
-
Jun 26, 2021This game has it all: a heart-wrenching campaign, addicting and rage inducing multiplayer, and the occasionally fun spec ops mode.

Jul 21, 2020Oh boy, Modern Warfare 3... I was very excited for this one. Once it was announced back in 2011, I just knew I had to Pre-Order it... But once the game had finally released, I was a bit disappointed. The game is literally the same as Modern Warfare 2, the User-Interface looks the same, many of the weapons are just taken from Modern Warfare 2, and they really destroyed the Nuke in this game.

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.
