THE THIRD INSTALLMENT of the Modern Warfare series has finally arrived, but was the hype worth waiting? Well, if you absolutely despised Black Ops and loved Modern Warfare 1 & 2 then it definitely was worth the wait. The Infinity Ward engine hasn't changed much besides a few tweaks but why fix something that isn't broken? The single player campaign is pure action from start to finish and the story is better to understand than was Modern Warfare 2's cluster f*ck of a campaign. Still, MW3's campaign was not nearly as perfect and breathtaking as the first Modern Warfare but all in all it is fun to play.
But enough about the campaign, the real reason you're reading this is to find out how good or bad the multiplayer is, and it is my pleasure to inform you that it is addicting and fun. Just as any other Call of Duty's multiplayer MW3 comes with loads of new features and modes for players to enjoy and it will keep gamers playing this game for many years. The new multiplayer modes Kill Confirmed and Team Defender are a great way to keep the game fresh and balanced so that players new to Call of Duty will have a way to familiarize themselves with the gameplay. There are plenty of weapon proficiencies and attachments to choose from aside from the new killstreak packages and perks also available.
If there's one thing bad I must say about MW3 it's that it looks and feels way too similar to MW2 and that's not a bad thing. But it's not just the graphics and feel that are the same, its the sounds, menus, gameplay, maps and more that look the same and its all starting to feel outdated. The maps and shotguns have also been getting ripped apart by gamers abroad but aside from the minor flaws, this last game of the Modern Warfare series is up there with the best CoD's and maybe at number 2 on my list of the best CoD's behind CoD4: MW of course. From Spec Ops to Multiplayer, Campaign to Elite, MW3 comes with many variety of features and modes to play and is sure to keep you playing until next year's new CoD. It should be a definite buy for all FPS and CoD lovers everywhere.
I give 'Call of Duty: MW3' a rating of: 4/5
