Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 - Xbox 360
B**3
Great Game
I would like to start off by stating that I have played and own most of the Call of Duty games. For the 3 different modes of the game, read their respective sections below.Campaign: (No Spoilers)In my opinion, the campaign of MW3 was very good, but not as good as MW2 and BO. It has a decent storyline and loads of action, but some of the missions just weren't as fun and seemed like doing the same thing in a different place. The campaign of MW3 isn't too difficult and is about on par with MW2. Veteran is still pretty difficult, but there are no points which are brutally hard. I liked that Infinity Ward brought back some of my favorite characters from past games, and introduced lots of new ones as well. Like past games, there are multiple intel items to find and achievements regarding doing special tasks which aren't too difficult.Multiplayer:The multiplayer of this game is very fun, in my opinion. I agree that some of the maps are not as good as the others, but I don't think that all of them are terrible. Sometimes multiplayer can be very frustrating because of extremely overpowered weapons or bad losses, but not most of the time. There is a huge amount of weapons, attachments, and equipment that you can unlock. Many favorites have returned from previous games, and some new ones have been added. There is a new "Weapon Rank" system. Whenever you get a kill with a weapon, you get experience points for your main ranking system and the new Weapon Rank system. There are 31 progressive weapon ranks, and almost each new rank unlocks a new attachment or camo design for that weapon. Perks are special abilities that nyou choose for your player, and 3 are selected. There are many perks, including some that help you reload faster, sprint faster, or detect enemy equipment. There is also a "Pro" variant of each perk, which extends the ability of that perk (i.e. Scavenger-Collect ammo from each killed enemy, Scavenger Pro-Spawn with extra ammo) and is unlocked after completing challenges for that perk. There are 3 killstreak categories, Assault, Support, and Specialist. In Assault, it's the classic Killstreak system, get multiple kills in one life, reset when you die. It is mainly focused on getting kills on the enemy team. In Support, your killstreak doesn't reset when you die. It is mainly focused on helping out your team get kills. In Specialist, your streak resets when you die. After a specific amount of consecutive kills, your player receives an additional perk. At 7 kills, your player receives all of the avaliable perks. Deathstreaks are also in multiplayer, where if you die multiple times in a row without getting any kills, you receive a deathstreak, such as dropping a live grenade when you die, detonating C4, or increased bullet damage for one kill. A new system in Multiplayer is "Weapon Proficiencies". After ranking up a weapon, a player also unlocks proficiencies for that weapon, which are sort of like perks for the weapon, such as increased range or bullet penetration. There are 80 levels in multiplayer, and they normally take a while to progress through. Once you reach level 80, you can "Prestige". When you Prestige, you go back to being level 1 and lose all of your unlocked items. You also get a new Emblem, Title, and a Prestige Token. There are currently 10 Prestige levels, but 10 more will soon be added. Prestige Tokens are used to purchase items in the Prestige Shop, where you can get things such as an extra Custom Class or Double XP for 2 hours.Spec Ops/Survival:Spec Ops has returned from MW2. Spec Ops is a mode where you do special mini-missions usually related to the Campaign. You can either do it alone, or with a friend. You can earn up to 3 stars for each mission, depending on what difficulty you completed the mission on or the time it took for the mission. There are 20 missions, and all of them are pretty fun. I highly recommend doing them with a friend, especially on the higher difficulties. You alo rank up in Special Ops, which is a separate rank then in Multiplayer. There are 50 levels, and ranking up unlocks either more Special Ops missions or items in Survival. Survival mode is an extremely fun mode of Special Ops, and probably my favorite thing in MW3. It is similar to Zombies from BO and WaW, Firefight from Halo, or Horde from Gears of War. The maps in Survival mode that you can play on are the same ones in Multiplayer. The objective of Survival is to, well, surive as long as you can while fighting off endless waves of enemies, which progressively get harder. You start off with nothing but a pistol. For every kill you get, you get points that can be used to buy items from the Weapon, Equipment, or Air Support armories. Not all items are avaliable right away, but ranking up in Spec Ops unlocks new items. In the Weapon Armory, you can purchase guns and attachments for them. In the Equipment Armory, you can buy things that help you defend against the enemies, such as Sentry Guns or Riot Shields. In the Air Support Armory, you can buy things like Predator Missiles, Airdrop Markers, Perk Care Packages, and even friendly troops to assist you! You also start off with a Self-Revive and Body Armor. Self-Revives allow you, if downed, to kill an enemy to get back up. Body Armor lets you take 250 points of damage before you die. You can buy both of these from the Equipment Armory. When playing with a friend, if a player gets downed, the other player has one minute to revive him, or the game ends. The 20 Survival Maps have different difficulties, which are not selected by the player, but already put in. The difficulties are Easy, Normal, Hard, and Insane. The difficulties change not how much health the player has, but how quickly harder troops like Juggernauts and Attack Helicopters appear.Overview:Modern Warfare 3 is a very good game, and has a good campaign, great multiplayer, and very entertaining Spec Ops modes. I would definitely recommend this game to newcomers of the Call of Dty series and veterns alike. It may not be as good as the other games in the genre and series, but is definitely worth buying, especially if a lot of your friends have it too.

Yes, it's like MW2, but the upgrades ARE there.
For those of you who didn't like MW2, you may as well stop reading now, because chances are you won't like this game. However, if you did like it, this game is for you. It has everything MW2 had as well as several considerable upgrades. I'll divide the game up by it's three game modes: Co-op, campaign, and multiplayer.Co-op:This section of the game is what really sets it apart from previous installments of the CoD franchise. The two-player missions are back in full force, again throwing you and a partner into the most intense locations and firefights from the campaigns. These have a good mix of stealth, support, and run-and-gun missions (including the advent of player-controlled juggernauts!). These are ok, but what really makes this section awesome is the addition of survival mode.I don't know about everyone else, but zombie mode in Black Ops and World at War never really grabbed me. Sure, I had fun shooting up a bunch of mutant nazis with a partner, but after a few rounds, it got old. There's really only one thing to do: grab the biggest weapon you can find and hipfire into the blindly charging undead hordes. In survival, you spawn in one of the multiplayer maps and fight off waves of REAL enemies. No zombies, you are fighting real, tough, smart enemies with juggernauts, helicopters, and suicide bombers in support. Every weapon from the game is available for purchase at a weapons station, and you get to call in squads of support units and even a grenade-launcher sentry turret. Major upgrade from both MW2 and Black Ops. Also, you can play this mode to its full potential with or without XBox live.Campaign:What can I say? If you expected a complex spy plot, you're not going to be happy. If you expected a frenetic series of desperate missions with the fate of the world in the balance, loaded with familiar and exotic locations from around the world, and spiced up by classic MW cliffhanger moments (literally), then you're going to be thrilled: this has it all. The graphics are superb. The gameplay is pretty much the same as MW2, which some people found disappointing, but honestly: don't fix what ain't broken. I've never played a smoother system of controls and combat. All the familiar characters of the first two MWs make their appearances, and some new ones are added as well. Nikolai gets a complete graphics upgrade from his relatively simplistic and blocky animation in the first two games. I was a bit skeptical when I saw that Cpt. Price also had a bit of a graphics makeover, but they stayed true to the original interpretation of the character. There IS a twist in the plot, by the way, but I won't include any spoilers. Just be ready for it.If your a multiplayer-only person, fine, but you're missing out on something awesome if you don't play this game's campaignMultiplayer:The only game mode in which I didn't see a marked upgrade from MW2 to MW3. New maps, obviously. They are much more compact than the ones in MW2, which could either be really good or bad depending on your playstyle. I think that being really familiar with the maps is much more of an advantage in this game than the last one, and I'll be honest: running-and-gunning is pretty much the way to go for most of them. This saddens me, because while I'm not usually a camper, I really appreciated the ability pick off enemies with my Barrett or ACR in MW2. HOWEVER, this game FINALLY got the snipers right! In MW2, the only sniper that could make a one shot kill without a head-shot consistently was an unsuppressed Barret 50 cal with FMJ and/or stopping power. I hated every sniper in Black Ops, because NONE of them could kill with a one shot kill unless you got a solid headshot. Imagine my surprise when I found out that a non-upgraded Barrett could actually do the job with a single body shot. This balances out the disparity a little bit. Also note that shotguns are now a primary weapon and the riot shield can now be shattered, making it even more useless than before.All this being said, however, I should list three things that are different in this game than in MW2. First, you have the ability to customize your weapons more. By using your weapon a lot, you can not only outfit it with new attachments, but also you have the ability to give it "perks" to fit your own style. For example, the first perk you unlock for the Scar is kick, which grants you a reduction in recoil. Later on, you can change this perk to something else. Second, contrary to some people's opinions, there ARE new weapons in this game, and some of the old ones are changed around. The ACR and Scar have become more balanced weapons, for one, and we have several brand new snipers, assault rifles, LMGs, and especially SMGs. Finally, the perks in MW2 were unbalanced in favor of such universally favored perks as Sleight of Hand and Cold-Blooded. These perks are far more even in this game.Closing notes:Yes, this game is like MW2, but there are several SIGNIFICANT upgrades included in this game. If you liked MW2, you will like this game. If you don't want to spend the money on something so similar, buy it, beat it and then sell it used. Trust me, it's worth it!

最高に面白いゲームですな
はい、タイトル通りです。MW3は、CoD作一番面白いかと思いますね。まず、キャンペーンキャンペーンの画質が半端じゃないです「スタッフが変わった」っていうだけありますね主人公だけにこだわらず、背景にもちゃんと手を加えてありますねとても、心地よくプレイできました。次に、Spec Ops こちらはMW2でいうスペシャルオプスですねただ、今作では2つに別れましたサバイバルモード・ミッションモードの2つですミッションモードは、MW2同様スペシャルオプスみたいにLv(星)が3つまであり、ジャガーノート先生がまた出ますサバイバルモードは、今作で出た新モードです。これは、Wave毎に敵が強化されていき、進んでいくと、ジャガーノートが出たりもしますなかには戦闘ヘリなども、出て破壊するWave、犬も出たりするWave も、あります。こちらの方がおもしろいですよ〜!次にマルチプレイヤーモードこちらは、最高レベル80まであります。こうして見ると、多い!!・・・と、思われる方がいるかもしれません、現に私もそうでしたで・す・が、 それは勘違いです。実際にプレイしてもらえればわかるかと思いますがレベルが上がるのが早いです。そして、今回・・・武器迷彩で金色が出ましたよね!最後に武器迷彩、その他アタッチメント等の解除方法を軽く説明してレビューを終わらせていただきます今回、武器には「武器レベル」というものがあります。こちらが上がっていく度に、アタッチメント、武器迷彩が解除されてきます気になる金色の迷彩は全武器同等で、武器レベル31になれば解除出来るようになります。それでは、MW3のレビューを終わらせていただきます

The game was good. Not as great as MW1 and MW2 but ...
The game was good. Not as great as MW1 and MW2 but it is still a nice game for those who want to enjoy a satisfying multi-player and campaign.The standard multi-player was nothing special but it wasn't bad either. It felt a lot like MW2 which was not different in many ways. Although that did upset me, I found the survival modes and spec ops to make up for that. They consisted of fast-pace action and strategic gameplay in order to make it on to the next rounds.The campaign was literally the bomb of this game. Full of action, drama, and cool moments, this campaign left a good name for the MW series. It was done so well and it gave me a fulfilling ending to a wonderful series. Not only did it start off amazingly from where World War III initiated but it cleared up everything and answered all our questions that MW1 and MW2 gave us.I highly recommend this game to any FPS gamer. Definitely not as sublime as MW2 is but it was still a wonderful game.
