…“This is some of the best online shooter action around, and with the daunting challenges of Spec Ops and the exciting, globe-trotting campaign, Modern Warfare 3 stands tall as another great descendant of the game that changed a generation.” 8.5/10, Gamespot
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is First-person Shooter rooted in a fictional, but ultra realistic near-future conflict of mostly American forces with those of the Russian Federation around the globe.
Modern Warfare 3 features a focus on multiplayer gameplay which includes innovative new functionality that encourages multiple gameplay combat strategies, a new 2-player co-op option, new play modes, weapons and more. The game also includes a gripping single player campaign that picks up where Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 left off, and game integration with the Call of Duty: Elite online service.
“The multiplayer is hands-down the best it has ever been, with more features, more modes and a ton of new levels.” IGN

Review by IGN
“…Despite its flaws, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 takes the fantastic
series we’ve come to love over the years and iterates on it with great
success. The multiplayer is hands-down the best it has ever been, with more
features, more modes and a ton of new levels. The singleplayer campaign and Spec
Ops mode add value to the overall package, creating something that may not be
perfect, but is too damn addicting to pass up.”
IGN RATINGS FOR CALL OF DUTY: MODERN WARFARE 3 (PC)
8.0 Presentation
Modern Warfare 3’s menus are laid out clearly and work well. The lack of
Elite at launch is a bit disappointing.
8.5 Graphics
Sure, the engine is dated, but the work that’s been done still creates scenes
that are impressive to watch. And it always runs at 60 frames per second.
8.0 Sound
A lot has actually been done with the guns to make them sound like they have
more weight. The voice acting is also well done, though I could stand for a bit
less rockin’ guitars.
9.0 Gameplay
The campaign story has its failings, but fantastic set pieces nonetheless. The
multiplayer is the best it’s ever been, and Spec Ops is also great fun.
9.5 Lasting Appeal
This is the Call of Duty players will be playing online for hours and hours
thanks to its engrossing multiplayer experience. That is, until the next one
comes out…
9.0
OVERALL
Amazing
(out of 10)
Despite what the fan boys say I am not holding my breath for this one. After the terrible Black Ops launch (and the fact it was pretty much reskinned CoD4) is another rush job really going to save this once great franchise-
Add to that the pricey DLC you will be required to pay to get new maps and updates (which once used to be free)…why would anyone pruchase this over priced same old game.
Silly me because it's called “Call of Duty”. Come on people buy games based on content not on title and lets put an end to companies like treyarch shipping us garbage.
@ Ryan – You're right this time around activision is claiming the game is being made by “Infinity Ward” – Problem is the men and women who created the earlier titles in the Call of Duty series have all been fired or quit. So although the game is being created by Activision “Infinity Ward” it is not the same Infinity Ward we all know and love.
I dont know why retailers think a game like this demands a $130 rrp. Its basically mw2.1, BF3 which is priced normal on the otherhand will be fantastic( have been playing the beta and its awesome)
Do yourself a favour an buy bf3 instead
This will be the same as all those that have come before.
Same guns, same perks, same everything.
The only reason why this will do well is the fact that is has the name ‘Call
of Duty’ .
Just buy battlefield 3.
Just so your aware this isnt being done by infinity ward.. its been done by sledge hammer games. Infinity ward disbanded when the 2 creators of the Call of Duty series left the company after they wernt paid royalties by activision.
This game in my opinion will be and epic failure because its just recycled junk from the past 2 games. It will be fun for a while but then people will get bored.
In saying this im only talking about the multiplayer component. The single player and spec ops component should be a blast. Guess ill have to watch the game on you tube to see how the story ends.
Good on all the CoD fans who still stand by this game, i hope you enjoy it
