This Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 review is a review of the First-Person shooter game which has been tipped to be best selling computer game, if not gift in general this Christmas after MW2, its predecessor which wracked up over a billion dollars in sales in the first 48 hours of its release.
Priced at approximately $50 this gift would surely make any gamer chuffed to bits whether it's your brother, boyfriend, husband, son or dad.
Based in a fictional, near-future conflict where American forces face off the Russian Federation around the globe, its graphics are argued to be ultra realistic.
Call of Duty MW3 Features:
# Heavy focus on multi-player gameplay.
# Argued to include an innovative new functionality that encourages combat strategies.
# 2-player co-op option.
# New play modes.
# A supposed gripping single player campaign that picks up where Modern Warfare 2 left off.
# Game integration with Elite online service.
As this article is geared towards how users have reviewed MW3 since its release in November 2011, one of the best places to take a broad feel for how this game performs is from users at Amazon.com.
This is in part due the fact that only users who have bought this product from Amazon can leave reviews for this product, whilst reviews are independently monitored also to check that no financial incentive is included in someones review, for example if someone were to leave a link to their website.
So, as of the 14th November 2011, out of 388 Amazon reviews there were currently:
117 - 5 Star Reviews
46 - 4 Star Reviews
46 - 3 Star Reviews
59 - 2 Star Reviews
120 - 1 Star Reviews
As you can see therefore the user reviews are somewhat mixed, where this number one selling game on Amazon ranks on average 3 stars out of 5.
So what are the broad advantages and disadvantages listed by users who have purchased MW3?
Call of Duty MW3 Advantages:
# Spec Ops is greatly improved.
# Includes ranking.
# A lot of maps.
# Feels a lot more like "Black Ops" which is regarded as highly rated among gamers.
# The theater mode returns.
# "Kill Confirmed" is good.
# Kill streaks have been warmed over with strike package streaks that differ on classes meaning that you can continue to rack up your points in objective based achievements instead of just kills. However these games are still essentially about kill or be killed!
# You can still hide in a tin building during an air-strike and live to tell the tale.
# MW3 is set to play much faster than MW2.
Call of Duty MW3 Disadvantages:
# Guns have had a serious working over. Nothing sways and you die much much faster than in MW2.
# No wager matches.
# Still relies on P2P host networking which means lag and "ended games" still crop up.
# The maps have the same convoluted layout, based on the "ruined city" theme.
So, in short, as one Amazon user of Call of Duty Modern Warfare put it: "Like any heavily marketed fighting game, just play it for what it is - don't expect this game to do your laundry for you".
