Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 picks up where Modern Warfare 2 left off with the invasion of Manhattan by Russian forces. You will blaze through 20 action-packed missions located in England, Russia, America, Germany, and France, playing as a Russian Federal Protective Services agent, an SAS Operative and a tank gunner. The Spec-Ops missions from MW2 will make a return, split into "Mission" and "Survival" modes. Also, Call of Duty: MW3 will have the amazing CoD-style multiplayer that you have come to known.
Call of Duty returns with the Final Chapter in the Modern Warfare series, and third time's the charm... right?
Single-player: Right from the beginning you are dropped into the action. This campaign keeps you on your toes and hooked in. I will admit, Soap's death was a little anticlimactic. I mean, he's survived showers of bullets, grenades, etc. but he is finally killed by a 2x4. The storyline, either way, is brilliant and I enjoyed it. I give it a 9/10.
Multi-player: The classic style is back with some improvements from its prequel. New weapons and the return of the G36C give you a new collection of weapons to choose from. The stupid 3rd person game mode was removed, but a much better gamemode, Kill Confirmed, replaced it. The maps are a lot more balanced and fun to play as well. I give it an 8/10.
Spec-ops: Back again is Spec ops, but with the new Survival Mode, which in essence is Nazi Zombies with humans. The missions are new and fresh and are fairly entertaining to try out after you've beaten the campaign. I give it an 8/10.
Gameplay: Gameplay is almost exactly the same as MW2's with some improvements. As for multi-player, be ready for Juggernauts and campers. Once you get comfortable, though, it is easy and fun. I give it a 8/10.
Graphics: This is what everyone complains about, graphics. That ridiculous shiny shader is back, but PC Gamers can disable it. There are improvements and it is a newer engine, but deep down in its mechanical heart, it is MW2. I give it a 7/10.
Summary:
Battlefield 3 vs. Modern Warfare 3, Who will win? Neither. The two don't belong on the same field because they are two completely different experiences. If you are looking for a fast paced shooter that doesn't need classes and has more ways to play, Go for Modern Warfare 3. If you want to go for impressive graphics, realism, and tactical I recommend trying Battlefield. Either way, play both. Both are equally brilliant. I give MW3 an 8/10.
