Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is much like its predecessors: a bombastic but brief single player campaign coupled with laser-focused multiplayer. Unless you've started feeling fatigued by the last few iterations of this series, you should pick up Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. There's enough variety and new features to keep the experience feeling fresh despite being grounded in what's worked before.

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.

In some ways, the Call of Duty franchise has become a reflection of modern society. Essentially the candy of video games, it’s easy to play in short bursts and still glean something rewarding from the experience. As attention spans dissipate, games like this strike the sweet spot of time spent versus reward gained. Yet there’s also an extremely deep multiplayer experience where the changes seem minimal but pack a big punch.

At 5-7 hours on Normal difficulty, Modern Warfare 3’s single player is just as short as you’ve come to expect – though, with this degree of popcorn movie insanity unfolding from minute to minute, you shouldn’t feel cheated. Minus the usual breathless cliffhanger, the ending is a bit anticlimactic – though the final fade-to-black scene is close to perfect. And yeah, there’s a totally transparent (also: maudlin, manipulative) attempt to drum up controversy less than halfway through the game – though its inclusion is easier to justify than the massacre from Modern Warfare 2.

The core elements of multiplayer and the campaign remain fundamentally unchanged, but the game serves as a great example of how many subtle tweaks can add up to an improved overall product. Even with the recent turmoil at Infinity Ward, the remnants of that team (in conjunction with Sledgehammer) have put together a worthy sequel to one of the most successful franchises of all time.

It's an incredible game, to be sure, and it's undoubtedly another success for this franchise. Modern Warfare 3's multiplayer is some of the series' strongest, and the co-op offerings have been expanded tenfold. But the campaign will leave you yearning, wishing that the characters were differentiated by more than thick accents, or that the gameplay tried something more than aim, shoot, take cover, reload, rinse and repeat.

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.

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 and ways to interact via Call of Duty Elite. 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.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 treads familiar ground and focuses on tweaking rather than reinventing, and that's just fine. While there are no major revelations or surprises, this is still a gorgeously produced package that gives military shooter fans exactly what they want. There's a reason why Call of Duty is the most powerful videogame franchise of the modern era, and Modern Warfare 3 serves as a reminder -- it's just that damn good at what it does.

Whatever diversions or innovations may lie in Modern Warfare 3's future, the competitive multiplayer still offers the same sweet satisfaction you've come to expect from the series. 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.

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.

That the single-player story brings the Modern Warfare saga to a fairly definitive end is, then, cause for celebration. Whatever next year's entry brings, some measure of reinvention will be essential. For now, its exuberant blend of testicular bravado and blockbuster gloss ensures that Call of Duty retains its crown as the shooter genre's biggest, boldest rollercoaster ride for at least one more year.

Put that aside and enjoy Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 for what it is: a brutal and rewarding game that knows what players expect, and delivers it with well-earned confidence. Good multiplayer including enjoyable tweaks to game types and a well designed progression curve. Nice set of co-op options, and an entertaining single player campaign.

Este juego llega para reflejar toda la experiencia cosechada por los distintos programadores y entregas que han ido sucediéndose. Gustará a todos los que quieran darle una oportunidad, será odiado por todos los que no soporten la fórmula. Directo, rápido y con impacto consecuente, como la más letal de las balas. Su modo más exitoso, el online, se ha perfeccionado y equilibrado sustancialmente. La Supervivencia en cooperativo, frenética, muy desafiante y duradera.

Renunciando por completo al espíritu revolucionario de los dos primeros Modern Warfare, la entrega que cierra le belicosa trilogía de Infinity Ward es un ejercicio de sorprendente conformismo. Escasa evolución en los conceptos jugables, las modalidades de juego y los apartados técnicos para un título que resulta más que notable y recomendable para los fans de los shooters en primera persona de consolas, pero que debía haber buscado un plus de innovación para reeditar la condición imprescindible de sus antecesores.

Como decíamos, el cooperativo y la campaña son unos complementos de lujo, aunque esta última empieza a necesitar algo de frescura. En el multijugador, en cambio, el acierto de cada decisión tomada es indiscutible y suficiente, y posiblemente sea el mejor Modern Warfare de todos. Puedes odiar Activision, detestar los clichés bélicos y cabrearte con cada guiri adolescente que se te pone a gritar cada vez que te mata, pero este sigue siendo un juegazo como hay pocos.

Même pas peur, même pas mal ! Telle pourrait être la devise de Call of Duty : Modern Warfare 3, qui plie mais ne rompt pas face à la concurrence. Clairement moins beau que Battlefield 3, le hit d'Activision nous propose en revanche une aventure maîtrisée de bout en bout. Chaque niveau apporte son lot de séquences spectaculaires, on ne s'ennuie pas une seule seconde, et l'ensemble s'avère cent fois plus rythmé que la campagne solo concoctée par DICE.

Bien sûr, le dernier volet de la licence phare d'Activision assure une nouvelle fois l'essentiel de fort belle manière en s'appuyant sur une campagne solo on ne peut plus explosive et un mode multijoueurs toujours aussi carré, accessible et intelligemment remanié (même si l'arrivée des serveurs dédiés relève de la fumisterie), mais il lui sera difficile de tutoyer l'excellence de ses prédécesseurs tant le manque flagrant de nouveauté se fait sentir.

Un excellent cru que ce Modern Warfare 3. Pas très joli certes, mais la mise en scène dantesque de la campagne fait encore une fois mouche, tandis que le multi, manifestement plus équilibré que dans les derniers volets de la série, reste un modèle du genre. Et si l’on voit déjà les fans de Battlefield 3 s’étouffer de rage en apercevant cette note, c’est omettre que Call of Duty, dans sa propre catégorie de FPS accessible, rapide et grand spectacle, remplit mieux son contrat que les autres.

Concludendo, non ci troviamo di fronte a un titolo particolarmente tattico e dalla profonda componente simulativa, ma non è questo che i giocatori si sono mai aspettati da Call of Duty. Se avete amato i capitoli precedenti troverete in Modern Warfare 3 tutto ciò di cui avete bisogno. Se, al contrario, avete sempre disprezzato il gameplay frenetico di questa saga Activision, non sarà certo questo episodio a farvi cambiare idea.

De multiplayer is beter dan ooit en zal je maanden uit je slaap houden. Maar speel jij zo nu en dan een shooter en heb jij al een of meerdere Call of Duty games in huis, dan kun je deel drie gerust aan je voorbij laten gaan of eens uit de budgetbak plukken. De game verrast je namelijk nergens en dat is jammer. Een filmische game die soepel in de handen ligt en prima speelt, maar net geen verplichte kost is geworden voor elke Nederlander.

Modern Warfare 3 tar alltså det vi kommit att förvänta oss av serien och gör det bästa utav det. Infinity Ward har inte ändrat på det spelmässiga och de har inte heller försökt göra det. Att det är lika kul idag som det var för fem år sedan borde tala för att kärnan är så pass bra att den kanske inte ens behövs utvecklas ytterligare. Det är en grundmekanik som många av oss fortfarande inte tröttnat på.
