When I take a step back and total it all up, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is still one of the best first-person shooters of the year. The multiplayer changes are just interesting enough to make me want to configure classes all over again, and it has a lot of good maps to choose from. The amount of closure in the campaign--I can't imagine they'll call a game "Modern Warfare 4" at this point--makes it worth seeing, even if it isn't always exciting to play. And Spec Ops has always been more exciting to me than Zombies.
Although the single player experience can be a bit on the short side, it is deeply engaging and features some of the most epic scenes we have seen in a single player game to date. The Spec Ops co-op mode and Elite service only serve to enhance the overall CoD experience. At the end of the day, Modern Warfare 3 is a must own and is as good as it gets for Xbox 360 shooters.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 doesn't do anything new, but it also doesn't do anything wrong. For better or worse, this is a slick and well-metered trio of modes that make an entertaining package, but Sledgehammer Games and Infinity Ward are simply looking to augment previous games rather than expand the series into pastures new. Modern Warfare 3 is another beat in the colossally successful rhythm Activision has mastered, but what this year's game lacks in imagination it makes up for in quality.
