A nice change, but feels like an expansion of MW2

I've been an avid COD fan since the original COD, usually find something I really enjoy with every new release, and granted I really liked what they did with the multi-player mode's, I can't help but feel like this is just a copy and paste of MW2. The graphic's remain unchanged from MW2 which is a let down, but I understand because they want the 60FPS sticker they can flaunt, the gameplay is as solid as ever and the control's are very responsive. The multi-player mode's are just as fun as all the other COD's, was really impressed with Kill confirmed, nearly eliminated camping all together. The gun's in MP seem pretty well balanced, the new feature's with the way you and the weapon's level up was an interesting feature as well, additionally the weapon proficencies were a interesting to say the least. The ability to reduce the recoil on a weapon, or allow for 2 attachments w/o using up one of your perk slots gave a nice change to customization.

The new killstreak packages were interesting, but I still prefer the black ops method overall. Killstreaks do stack toward other killstreaks which is something I haven't personally been a fan of, due to one person can carry an entire team if they can string streaks. If you find yourself unable to get a streak going you can choose the support package, which killstreaks persist through death, granted they have some different rewards then the assault package, so instead of getting a chopper gunner or air-strike, you would get deploy-able ballistic vests, blackbirds, UAV's etc.

The story was decent, a couple exciting/ intense moments here and there but nothing that really stood out. Didn't play the spec ops mode so I can't give a decent review about that.

Overall if you mainly play COD for MP then you will find not many changes have been made and will feel right at home, due to the changes made could have been done through DLC it feels like. Although a fun experience, for $60 you may want to really consider if minor changes and a game that could have just been an expansion is worth that price. Overall I give MW3 a 7.0/10

    First of all, I'd like to state that this review will change once the multiplayer for this game is fixed. Ok, so nobody really thought twice when Activision fired the two top executives at Infinity Ward and a whole bunch... Read Full Review

    I just brought my second PS3 after not having owned one for 4 years. Naturally I brought it when CODMW3 came out so I decided to give the next gen shooter a try. I played a lot of shooters but my favorites are "Perf... Read Full Review
