Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Review

This is it! One of the biggest and most popular shooter in the entire gaming industry's lastest outing is here, Infinity Ward's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. The name itself even gave the hardcore a chill to the core. Since it was announced at E3 2011, Everyone was waiting for it biting their nails till the last. The Hype was overwheming. But now its finally here and rocking the first person shooter genre as well.

Quit following me, man!
When the intro starts, the OMG! moment starts. You are introduced to a Edge-of-your-seat cut scenes and you already start to say the word 'cool' from your mouth. The story starts directly after MW2 where Soap was injured after having conflict with Commander Shephard. They bought him to Northern India to tend to his injuries and that's when the story kicks in. You play a different person in different mission at different time. One time you will be a British Spec-Ops unit, Russian's President Bodyguard and whatsoever.In this different mission, you will feel as if you are really the person you are playing. The Storytelling mechanic behind the game is also very good. You can follow the narrator very easily as if your parents are reading you bed time stories.

Waste the dirt.
Modern Warefare 3 still maintains its over-the-top campaign storymode. The background score is so awesome  that it immersed in the story very much and show you what a World War 3 would look like. The dialogue is also sooo good that i feel that the person who is speaking has a feeling behind her/him. The campaign hardly have a moment for you to breathe. It throws you to tackle every rumbling situation every now and then. I feel personally feel that the MW3 campaign is much better than Battlefield 3's camapaign. That aside the campaign throws you insane amount of enemy just to extend the length of game. This mechanic has not been working for most of the other games and infinity ward should know it better. The AI is also very stupid. It looks like the special elite forces had not been trained the way they went to combat mode. They stay in places where you know you will hit them easily. Looks like those who had suicidal tendencies went to the special forces.
This is How World War 3 looks like!

MW3 used an older game engine but it still look gorgeous. The Fireworks, people, gunfight looks awesome. The lightning and texture department deserved a praise for its good looking graphics. The sound system is also very good. Explosions, Gunfire, Shouts all sounds very real. With channel 5.1, it sounds terrific with every sounds coming in from every direction.

As far as gameplay goes, it's one of the reason Call of Duty is my favourite shooter. Controls are very easy to used and very simple. Killing people feels very satisfactory and want more 'bad guys' to come out of their hive. Sometimes i wish they don't put the name of our friendlies on top of their head at all times, not just when our hud is pointed towards them. i accidently shot many of my squad thinking they are the bad guys.
Multiplayer is the big thing in MW3

Multiplayer is very much the same as the Previous Franchise had put. While they can be enjoyable at times, fast pace action and small maps make me revert to Battlefield 3 which a little slow pace and big maps are available. Its so fast pace that i had to died uncessary many times and havn't had a moment to take a break.  Maps are so small that you will be at the same place many times before you know it.
Look how cool my sheds are!

Call of Duty Modern Warefare 3 is the biggest opening of the game industry for this year. But it havn't perform like as people expect it to be. And one more to think about this game is the price. For the pc version, you will get the game for Rs 2500 instead of the traditional Rs 1000 and the console version for Rs 3500 instead of Rs 2500. If you think you got enough dime for this, go for it. But for the rest of the budget minded people, you better stick with battlefield 3. That aside MW3 also remains one of the best shooter game of the gaming industry.
