four stars 

The Short: Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 doesn’t have the most amazing campaign, but it’s still good and the storyline that we’ve invested some serious time into over the past two games progresses nicely. The multiplayer options and elite integration combined with that decent campaign push this CoD game over the top above the previous outings.

Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 backs up what the past two titles have started. It’s not perfect and it’s not without its flaws but it’s got plenty to offer for fans of first person shooters and fans of the Call of Duty franchise.  As far as campaigns go, I’d say it’s a step below Call of Duty: Black Ops and even Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. But with multiplayer and the campaigns added into the equation, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is the best CoD game yet.

As far as the Modern Warfare storyline goes, this title picks up where the last one dropped off. All hell has broken loose in the world. Makarov lives and it’s up to Price, Soap, Frost, Nikolai, and a few new allies who are out to catch him. To find Makarov you chase leads and information from London, France, Somalia and the U.S. The areas aren’t as amazing as CoD2’s Washington D.C. levels but they’re still pretty amazing. The London and the other few Europe levels are fabulous.

The campaign is fun; it’s easy to get through on the bottom three difficulties and a royal pain to get through the hardest difficulty. That’s standard CoD stuff and what that’s always been like. The production values across the board here are fantastic as you’d expect them to be. Voice acting, graphics, and sound are all spot on amazing and make the story what it is. There’s nothing over-the-top shocking or remarkable to watch like there was in the first two games, they did just about what they could do there, but there’s plenty of huge explosions and great experiences to dive into when you’re adrenaline is pumped up into the campaign.

Of course outside of the campaign, the real reason millions and millions of people buy the Call of Duty games is for the multiplayer. The London and European levels turn into awesome multiplayer maps. Even the African levels- levels that look somewhat like the CoD norm by now are fantastic multi-player maps. The typical game modes are here too with capture the flag, team, and free-for-all modes. The settings and the Call of Duty Elite integration make the multiplayer version of Cod3 the best yet and yes the biggest reason to bite the bullet and buy the game.

Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 doesn’t have the most amazing campaign, but it’s still good and the storyline that we’ve invested some serious time into over the past two games progresses nicely. The multiplayer options and elite integration combined with that decent campaign push this CoD game over the top above the previous outings.
