Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (Sony Playstation 3, 2011)

Well of course next year was going to be something new, it is after all a treyarch(or whoever the hell is working on it now out of like 5 studios) year. So that means digging into he past, or if they're really daring, future, for the game. I would like to see it get a low score just to see it, but of course it won't, and I don't agree logically that it should just to get it; but come on, the reason isn't purely hate mongering on what is popular. Sometimes I feel activision owes all the fans, not me, better, and I say they don't deliver since we can use the exact same words and phrases detailing nearly every inch of MW3(cod8) as we could cod4.

Just because it's good doesn't mean people should be paying for the game again and again and again. You can still level in cod4, prestige, pick out perks. That game needed 1 or 2 iterations to get everything right, not 10. Roster updates don't deserve retail price, and that's almost all this is now.

You can't screw it up when you can literally copy/paste 85% of the multi-player and when all they do with the singleplayer is make the reins tighter and add more scripting to it. Activision has seemingly finally found the franchise that people don't mind if it never changes, after many tries, as long as you keep plopping it on their plate, they'll keep eating; it's disgusting for all involved at some point.

Sometimes it's good to see games awarded 7's or 8's out of 10 (assuming the game being reviewed genuinely is a 7 or 8 out of 10 game). With so much publisher pressure around these days it's hard to know what scores are genuine and what scores have been 'influenced' shall we say.

At least when a AAA game receives an 8/10 you know the integrity of the reviewing party is upheld, and hasn't bowed to any demands.

I always hated that about the game and I can't believe they still haven't fixed it in 2011. Still, they've at least made the story comprehensible this time round, although I really wish they'd stop with the character swapping as it simply does not work in a first-person game at all IMO and if it's done for controversy and nothing else then, really, what is the point? It just serves to cheapen the whole experience, I think.

Otherwise, this seems like a good review with a score that is as predictable as the game itself. This'll be the first game I won't be buying though, simply because I found the games started getting boring after the first Modern Warfare with Infinity Ward playing it too safe and not evolving the genre at all (respawning enemies being a good case in point). Great for the fans I guess but I'll look for my first-person shooter thrills elsewhere, thank you very much.

Good review, glad i didnt cancel my order. BF3 is a great online game but it seems CoD has managed to do its version of online well this year too. BF fanboys (that infest this site), on your marks. . . . Get set. . . . . Go! Neg neg neg.

Glad to see some of you already have. Why can't you people accept that CoD is still a good game in its own right? If BF became the unstoppable monster that CoD has become would you all start hating that instead? Seriously get outside for some fresh air.

The single player story for Modern Warfare 3 is absolutely stunning. Infinity Ward has kept true to their style of game development by once again making sure you never leave first person view. I enjoy cinematic scenes, but the level of intensity that you get throughout the campaign whilst always being in first person view is great. Modern Warfare 3 is a direct sequel to Call of Duty 7: Modern Warfare 2, and picks up right where Call of Duty 7 left off. Modern Warfare 3 adds a lot more to the campaign than Infinity Ward’s last title, including graphics as well as unique missions that you should definitely experience for yourself. The graphics in Modern Warfare 3 are the best I have seen so far in a Call of Duty game while keeping it smooth with a constant 60 frames per second. The detail of the environments and the character models are beautiful. Some of the scenes throughout the campaign are really breathtaking as they are action packed, and keep you on the edge of your seat the entire time. To add to that, there are many surprises and twists throughout the game that no one will see coming, making this story an amazing action packed thriller. Although the campaign is amazing, it was fairly brief, lasting around 6-8 hours depending on the difficulty. And speaking of difficulty, I would add that the game was a lot easier on Veteran than any of the other Call of Duty games.
Now for the good stuff; multiplayer. Multiplayer for Call of Duty 5 is mostly what made it so popular and in Modern Warfare 3 it gets even better. The addition of many killstreaks and having the ability to customize which ones you want ,with a max of 3 available at once, is where this game’s multiplayer action really differs from Call of Duty 5. Even in objective modes like Search and Destroy, you can gain killstreaks throughout the course of many rounds, granted you don’t die at the end of the round. And if you try using you stealth class from Call of Duty 7 or World at War in this game you might not be safe with the addition of Heartbeat sensors as an attachment to certain weapons which detect movement. Of course there is a perk to counter that though. Many perks from Call of Duty 7 have been made into attachments or equipment. There are many additions to the game that will really let you personalize your class to your liking, much more so than the previous Call of Duty games. I saw a lot of people running around with many different class setups instead of seeing everyone with the same 5 as in the other games. You can now unlock titles and emblems for yourself that show up in game. Modern Warfare 3 has added more modes as well.

Hey I don't understand how or why Ebay allows people to review games. Just to let everyone know, THIS GAME HAS NOT BEEN RELEASED. I just felt like reviewing it five stars because I think it's going to be a good game. AND NO I AM NOT A HARdCORE FAN BOY OR A BF3 HATER. I actually am on Team BF3 and hope Battlefield 3 wins between the two. Then again guess who the real winner is...ME! AND YOU. Michael... (Sony commercial reference)

So yeah I just basically wrote this to let the slower people see that this game has not come out and all the reviews into the release date shouldn't come be taken seriously.

Call of Duty by activision for the past years has put out awesome war games. Call of Duty Modern Warefare3 3 just adds to their great reputation. This game tops all others when we thought nothing could get better than Cal, of Duty Modern Warefare 2. This game has amazing online multiplayer and a great story line that continues where COD MW2 left off. They added this year a survival and missions mode which has really made the game even more diverse. I can not wait to see what they do next.
