    Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III is overall a good game, with the best gameplay over the last 3 chapters thanks to a fluid and frenetic multiplayer and a good Zombie mode. A discordant note is an uninvolving and slightly shorter campaign, but it remains the CoD with the best multiplayer in recent years, and this simply cannot be ignored.

    Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III is riddled with contradictions and enveloped in a complex paradox: how can the best Call of Duty in recent years also be one of the worst ever? The answer must be found within the pages of a product that meticulously recycles the vast majority of its contents, while offering the worst campaign in the title's history. However, it perhaps nails the only aspect that a first-person shooter should truly hit: the multiplayer gameplay.

    This campaign for Call of Duty Modern Warfare III does not cut the mustard. Lasting only 4 hours, it is far too short, and the storytelling is not as good as in the last few games. The visuals are as polished as ever, and the classic missions are well staged and packed with action. Unfortunately, the new type of open-ended missions introduced this year is barely convincing and is far too present in the campaign. It is quite hard to recommend buying the game at full price for someone who only focuses on the single-player experience, and you cannot help feeling that it is more of an extension of Modern Warfare II than a title in its own right. The same is true of the Zombie mode, which is closer to a variant of the DMZ mode than a truly original experience. Fortunately, the multiplayer side of things picks up the slack, with sixteen very good maps at launch, and some welcome in-game improvements.
