Lul, love the game but the flop is funny. Time for MW3 to show its hand I guess.

I called it, too. The single-player was weak.

Ahahahahahahahahahaha! No, but seriously, nice score. Would love it if Modern Warfare 3 either: a) outscores this b) scores a 6, since GS seems to hate it when games recycle concepts and content and don't innovate.

BattleFlop 3! But...on a more serious note, good score. Seems like the campaign really drags it down as an overall package, but I'm sure most peoples focus is the online obviously. However, GS are absolutely correct in bringing that to account. Looking forward to it :]

I called it after I heard about No In game Voip. No commander. Commo rose being crap. And maps having flags clustered in the middle or in a line.

At the end of the review Watters says that the MP is best in class, so that's all that matters to me

Called it after the Beta. Now, MW3 just needs to score AAA and SW is complete.

MW3 is going to 9.5 here.

CoD is the standard of this industry.

No wonder why FPS games suck today. I'm rather disappointed that GS couldn't see the bigger picture. You spend 5 hours in campaign, 300 in multiplayer and apparently that doesn't mean squat.

Now MW3 has to get a 7 something or below, or a 9 something an higher.

Or BF3 being sacrificed as a flop will be in vain.

I don't like how its knocked for being stale for having the interrogation type story that goes from mission to mission and its noted that Black Ops did that last year even though Black on PS2 did that YEARS ago

It will. It will be just as linear and scripted as any CoD, but that's the standard. CoD does it right apparently. While any other agme that is very scripted and linear can never be as good as CoD, CoD gets a free pass.

Look at Black Ops. The campaign was average at best yet it was praised so damn highly. Unbelieveable.

I really am losing faith in the gaming industry if CoD is our damn standard.

It is unreal how people will look past a key element in this game because they are so obsessed with hating cod

THE SINGLE PLAYER SUCKED, every reviewer has said this. This is a key element of the game. If it was not they wouldnt of added it

People who are complaining are just doing so to make up for the fact that COD will do just as well


At the end of the day its a number, the review itself should only matter

Many of you have hated on these for no good reason at all

More how little did EA pay the reviewers.

I'm betting it will sell close to what BC2 did, which will be a nice chunk of change for EA and Dice.

Glad they seen how bad the SP is... Really is just tacted on and forgotten about. Dice needs to work the rest of the bugs out before they start DLC packs.

Maybe Gamespot is as sick and tired of multiplayer oriented shooters as I am? In which case, it shall reflect in their MW3 review too. And I don't see why we should complain, 8.5 is a great score.

No they aren't.

MW3 is guarenteed AAA here. Guarenteed. Running on a 12 year old engine with recycled everything, it doesn't matter, it's CoD.
