Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, despite being the weakest entry in the Modern Warfare series, is still a good game and a great way to end the series before being rebooted in the upcoming 2019 reboot. I'm glad to own this game, especially when it comes with the codes for the DLC Collection 1.

I've played most of the Call of Duty series from CoD 1 up to Black Ops 2( have not played Ghost or Advanced warfare). as far as MW3 goes it's not that much different than MW2 different story line, different weapons. same basic game play, same graphics. Pros: it's close to MW2 as far as game play. the graphics are OK (not great) Cons: MUST download UPDATES before you can play(1 time thing, that has happened twice), the update can take several hours. for online multiplaying you need a play station account(and it requires UPDATING) if you have several accounts on your PS3 then each account(person) needs a PS account or the game will list the player as guest and will not save for guest. Other Thoughts: the graphics are better on a PC, the controls are better on a PC. but if you are used to playing on a PS3 or X-Box then this shouldn't be a problem for you. one more thought: I haven't played online multiplay on this game for the PS3, but if it's anything like the PC version, I wouldn't want to play multiplayer. when you go into a server the network PICKS a server for you(you don't get to choose), you may end up in a server that has all MAXED-OUT level players while you are still at lower levels. when you exit a room you don't like and re-enter the lobby to join a different room most of the time you are put back in the room you just left. also you can NOT create your own PUBLIC room( you could on WaW and CoD4).Read full review

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.Read full review
As soon as I Poped the disc in I thought i was playing Mw2, They barely made any changes at all whats so ever. The menu is the same as Mw2 just with different images, The muliplayer has not changed at barley just new kill streaks and about a few new guns. The worst part is they added a kill streak called support, So even if you suck and your a horrible player you still get the best kill streaks, Such as EMP's Juggernauts, Escort Airdrops. Which is fine and all but, But its just over used and brings down the how should I say.... Quality of online play. Overall the new survival mode is pretty good just a copy of zombies but with a modern Ware fare twist.
I give this game 3 stars. And it would be 4 is the series never had CoD4. The story mode is good and the co-op is nice and difficult. But the survival mode is a complete ripoff from the zombie mode in Black Ops, right down to the types of enemies in it. An example being a chemical fighter that blows up into green gas when he dies, being an exact rip from the gollums in black ops. But the multiplayer is where this game really fails. Much like MW2 and unlike CoD4 it does not require skill to play. If you set yourself an overpowered class and camp corners you dont even have to try at all to do good. Some of you may like the sound of that. But there are other things that drag it down. For one, the guns are being nerfed so much in these games now that all of the weapons end up being pretty much the same with with very little of the variety you found in CoD4. And the biggest issue is the new "feature" added into the game called Lag Compensation which literally gives a huge advantage to people with terrible internet connections. And you can search youtube for more details on that.Read full review
