Overall, my experience with this game, albeit mostly limited to campaign and zombies, is... incredibly mixed. Campaign, which I fully played through, was actually pretty good in my opinion up until the third act. I thought the first few missions were well written and had genuine fun playing them, but the drop in quality was drastic and very off putting. The campaign needed a few more hours of content to wrap up what had already been set up. As for zombies, I'll openly admit it was nearly unplayable for the first month or two. It crashed constantly, lagged like crazy, and left me more frustrated than anything at least half of the time. It's not nearly as buggy now, although far from perfect. However, the newer content is starting to feel lazy to me. Some of us play for story, after all, and the last season or two has offered almost none. My mw3 multiplayer experience is much more limited, but mostly positive. After a bit of warzone and a lot of rustment I can honestly say it feels a bit too grindy for my taste, but that could just as easily be user error. Overall, could be better, but could be a lot worse and is passable for how I use the game.

First of all....the campaign.....too short and just not memorable....others cod titles were interesting enough that I could replay the campaigns...this one....nah. Second...multiplayer modes....player vs player mode like team death match are pretty much what you'd expect....mostly players camping and sniping but it is what it is and leaves you feeling like camp or be camped....and tbh...I end up disabling cross platform in multiplayer to avoid the players on pc platform who use cheats....but what I don't care for the most is zombie mode....its a good idea that was extremely poorly implemented. Why only 3 players on a squad? Seems like a lazy port from DMZ. Also....the matches are just too short....by the time you get enough money to really play in the red zone....its time to exfill....sure you can get schematics to upgrade and pack a punch guns...but you need to craft them and the ones you really need have a three day cool down before you can craft another one....thats right...three days lol. And the worst part is that is you don't exfill...you lose items like a large backpack and level three armor and other things....which isn't the bad part....the bad part is if you get disconnected from the game by no part of your own....you lose your stuff....which for me...after it happens enough times...completely turns me off from play MWZ.... Id much rather play Cold War Zombies....overall, MW3 is meh for me.

My issues with this game is the Campaign and the Title for this game. The campaign was pretty poor and felt like it was rushed. It could've been a lot better. The title I thought was just really lazy to be honest. (Same with MW 2019 and MWll 2022) and could've had a better title for it (like Call of duty forever or call of duty eternal warfare or something). But I still liked this game for the multiplayer being fun and the zombie also being fun. I liked how you get to play the zombie mode in third person mode, I didn't mind playing it in third person mode even though this is a first person shooter game, but doesn't matter.

I've tried really hard to like this game but i'm done with it... the multiplayer is absolute garbage. There's been moments where i've unloaded 5 shots in to an opposing player and it's been confirmed by the hit marker sound and then they turn and floor me with two shots to the body with the same class of gun im using. I spend more time looking for opposition players than killing them and then when i do im again gunned down easily even if i've hit them more times than they have me. I'm not a novice at these games and played them for years and prestiged fully in every game i've owned so i know its not me at fault here..i was also just kicked for inactivity for protecting a domination point with a sniper for a few minutes while my team were being bombarded by the enemy so you are now kicked if you are holding off the enemy and stuck in the same area for too long and don't want to die in the process .... pathetic . There's no multiplayer progression screen after a match and you have to go and hunt down what calling cards/guns you have earned and how well you're progressing on the battle pass and what rank you are. And now instead of opening new equipment by progressing through levels, once you hit level 25 on multiplayer you have to complete daily missions to obtain them. So if you want to unlock something you have to be able to complete challenges you might not be good at.this is unfair for players tat just can't grasp certain guns or are able to play as good as others. It's a small complaint but it just adds to the crappyness of the whole experience. Also zombies mode isn't the classic zombies we know and love it's some free roaming level with mini missions and some zombies randomly chase you. Its very easy and is boring and is not in the slightest bit fun.
I really regret buying this game. I was having so much fun on mw2 recently and i thought that this would be a step up but it's far worse than i could have imagined. Basically bought the same game i did years ago but this time it doesn't work properly and its constantly asking me to buy stuff i don't want. Even in the menu its asking me to buy the game im currently playing.
This is the last time i buy a COD game because its nothing more than a shameless cash grab and the money they are asking for the product is just not worth it. Im selling this first chance i get.

Multiplayer is one of the best ones yet in most senses. From the content, map quality , flow, things to grind for, aftermarket parts making it a fun COD. It has a few issues such as weak streaks, perk balance, overload of attachments but besides that it's a 9/10.
However the lacklustre and straight out bad campaign and zombies holds the full package back. The zombies is just lazy filler with it being worse than Outbreak in Cold War in almost every sense and even that wasn't amazing. The campaign was short with an abysmal story and filled with repetitive open combat missions despite a few of them being fun.

Think of what made the original Modern Warfare games good.
Now take all of that away.
That's Modern Warfare 3.
It is a lazy add on of last year's game (which was far superior although not as good as the original.) The graphics are somehow far worse than they were in MW 2019, which had one of the best campaigns in COD history in my opinion.
The campaign's story feels like it was written by unintelligent robots. Makes no sense at all.
The missions are war zone maps and complete one man army scenarios. No interesting set pieces or anything, you just run around picking up guns and killstreaks all alone. It's not a realistic war game like the old MW ones, it's a silly mess that makes over the top Hollywood blockbusters look like documentaries.
The only decent mission is the first one. The voice acting comes across as forced. It's only about 3 hours long which is 3 hours too long, because they'd be better of not having one in the first place.
There is no love, no care put into this game and none of the charm that made the old MW games great.
MW 2019 was a very good game and the best COD made since Black Ops 2.
MW2 2022 was a decent game and was better than this one in every way imaginable.
The multiplayer is the same as last year's game but with a few old maps thrown into it, yet they are all nowhere near as fun to play on.
I feel completely betrayed buying this game and would implore all who read this review to not buy this disaster.

It's a good game. Not the best and not a 9 but a 8 for me type of game. I get it the campaign wasn't amazing it's the campaign... last good one we got was MW and before that was when?? Either way I don't know why this year people are complaining all of the sudden. Has to be new players or people who went straight through early access campaign. Multiplayer is a 8, Zombies is a 9. I been playing zombies since "Nazi Zombies" COD WAW. If you have friends to play squad up with trust me when zombies be a 10 or 11. It's addicting and hilarious at times. I also haven't found much bugs overall, I play on PS5.

I haven't bothered playing the campaign due to its bad reviews. It is way too short and the plot leads nowhere. The majority of the campaign was just a filler. However, zombies is really fun. You can do so much and never get bored. But the state of the game just ruins it. There are so many glitches and bugs that messes hours of progress. The camo grinding feels more fun than previous years. Although it still feels like a cash grab - Bundles were 2400 cod points to now 2800! Apart from that, the game was decent, but would've been much better if Infinity Ward didn't rush decisions and if Activision wasn't so money greedy.

This remake is nothing but a lazy crash grab. Around 3 hours story that they didn't even put any work into. Honestly it's sad to see how a company can ruin one of the best gaming franchises. It's way to obvious that this is just a overpriced dlc for MWII.
I hope the gaming community will come together and start showing activision that it's time to but down more effort into the remakes like this. Making annual releases instead of actually giving these games time is destroying these games.
PS: if you actually still enjoy this game then good on you but your help is needed as well to make activision change it's ways.

Modern Warfare III is a fresh start since the Warzone Era in 2020 began. MWIII gives us a breath of fresh air for its Multiplayer scene, bringing back the classics from the original MW2 from 2009 alongside a beautiful set of new maps, taking place from Greece to Rio de Janeiro. The Zombies mode developed by Treyarch is also a new take on the beloved mode seeing entirely open-world set in the fictional country of Urzikstan. Alongside that and it's massive pool of quests and objectives, MWZ (Modern Warfare Zombies) shows that we don't need classic zombies to still have fun.
The campaign, yes is shorter than previous games', but still tells a great story with a massive cliffhanger. The voice-acting as well as missions are once again at the top like always. My only dislike was the Open Combat Missions, however, only a few existed hence still my high rating.
9/10.

Modern Warfare 3's campaign commits the biggest sin possible for a globe-trotting action thriller: it's boring. What had the promise to be an intriguingly spun web of mystery instead ends up being a dusty cobweb you'd find at the back of your shed, clinging onto 15-year-old garden toys you once had fun with. It's a pale imitation of the past, made up of underbaked story moments that clash with attempts to introduce new open combat missions designed to encourage player freedom that instead fall flat on their face. Yes, the gunplay is still great and the graphics and sound design are top-tier, but I couldn't help but feel I was playing a shinier, less subtle version of something I've played too many times before. If this is the quality we've come to expect from Call of Duty campaigns, maybe it's for the best if a year or two is taken to reset and raise this low bar back to the heights of old.

The story is very bad, extremely boring and like old Hollywood movie scripts laced with clichés, especially the ending is worse than bad. The old version was more legendary. There has been no development in any sense. It is an exact copy of MW2, we can call this game as an additional package. So they made a money trap. We waited with great hopes, but I say don't wait. There is no change that will make you say wow in terms of gameplay. MW2 and DMZ are much better. One of the games I regret buying. I say go back and keep playing DMZ. Note: PLEASE GIVE TURKISH SUPPORT NOW, there are so many Turkish players but you haven't received language support for years.

Idk where some people are bashing this installment compared to previous versions of "Modern Warfare". We knew this was a continuation. Knew what characters would be involved (SAS and Farrah's team of course).
The campaign may have been short, but the ending hits hard and leaves room for a 4th (which I'm guessing will be the final installment for the moment).
I've been playing FPS since Wolfenstein, Doom, Duke Nukem and of course Goldeneye. You go into this knowing what they bring the table. Just have fun in the campaign, then multiplayer and just be a good person. One who worked on this deserve the praise it takes to put out games year after year. It's not easy work.
Activision may have flaws as any studio/producer would. Is it the best? No, is it by far the worst? No, you ever tried playing E. T.? Then I wouldn't complain.

I can't believe that they have single handily destroyed the modern warfare franchise I have not felt this upset since the new battlefield came out. This is a mockery to all the call of duty fans. The graphics are awful it is like we have taken a step back the story line omg what story line it's like all they do is talk about kicking a## but never do. All the people that where apart of making this game needs sacking with immediate affect. Rehashed maps - laughable campaign - nothing new and that will be £70 please. I have been scammed no two ways about it. I can't understand how modern warfare one and two were groundbreaking yet this modern warfare 3 the only thing it breaks is your soul. Stick to modern warfare one or two this is going back to the shop!

I really wish I had never wasted my money on this in the first place. There's nothing entirely different about it. It's literally just an add on. A DLC. But yet they classify it as this brand new game, which it's not. I wish they hadn't had come out with it too soon or I also just wish this had never been made at all.
The campaign I don't care about. Personally, I don't play campaigns anymore and haven't in a long time.
The multiplayer. Literally just the same. Just like the multiplayer from MW1 and 2. It's fine I guess. Although it can just feel repetitive at times.
The zombies. What in the world? It all just feels too easy, too open, too free, but overall, EMPTY and LIFELESS. You're just running around on this huge ass map, with your teammates, shooting any zombies that you see and that's really about it. I at least thought zombies would be decent, but turns out I was so bored playing it and I was heavily disappointed. Making zombies Open World was a huge mistake. I'd rather go back to BO3 zombies or any of the other ones where you actually had ROUNDS and it was an engaging challenge.
All in all, I regret purchasing $70 for Modern Warfare 3 or as I should say Modern Warfare 2, but with a bunch of crappy add ons. I don't see how anyone can find the hype in this. There's none. I think it is probably just time for Call Of Duty to come to an end in general. They've had their run for awhile. It's clear to see that the games they are coming out with are not getting any better. I for sure will not be purchasing the next Call Of Duty, whatever it'll be.

I have played almost every Call of Duty game in the franchise starting from the first Call of Duty and later the United Offensive expansion.
Some have been better than others with regards to story, imagination and implementation, and when Call of duty 4: Modern Warfare was released it was a new experience as they were trying to cater to realism as you learned about Soap and Captain Price from the legendary SAS, and Sgt. Jackson U. S. Marine.
Modern Warfare evolved throughout the next two releases and after remastered versions we eventually saw the reboot of Task Force 141 in 2019.
In this reboot we got an amazing campaign that included the legendary level "Clean House" which is about as real as it gets according to ex. SAS highest ranking soldier Mark "Billy" Billingham and we could only dream what the next instalment would bring?
Modern Warfare 2 was ok but it didn't try to bring the realism that "Clean House" did, and I personally disliked the story with the new Shepard and Phillip Graves, but we got Simon "Ghost" Riley so it was something, but as the campaign progressed it turned more into an arcade game sadly...
Surprisingly Modern Warfare 3 was announced when we expected a DLC to MW2, but if they had put in the time and resources none would be happier than us gamers - but boy were we in for a surprise... In order to save time and money (my opinion) they decided to pick some multiplayer maps, with bots, and throw us players into a all-guns-blazing solo missions that replaced realism and tactics with power-ups and well lit arcade areas that nobody wanted! You could easily finish the whole campaign in under three hours?! If it had been the DLC we expected things wouldn't be so bad, but we had to pay full price for this mess.
Why even bother making a campaign when you're going to put close to zero effort into it compared to the excellent levels in Modern Warfare 2019?!
This is by far the biggest disappointment in the Call of Duty franchise - including Black Ops 3, which led to Black Ops 4 didn't get a single player campaign at all, but Modern Warfare is ALL about the story and the multiplayer was something to do afterwards if you felt like it.
This campaign was such a let down and the only positive thing was that it was so short that I could finish it and still get a refund on Steam!
I hope the negative criticism has some effect otherwise single player campaigns are yet again a dying breed...

This is a terrible COD game. The campaign was meh at best. I felt they could've done a lot better with that. Also, I don't care too much for the zombies aspect. While it is something completely different from the others, I do find this to be boring. I thought it would have a story to it. Multiplayer isn't all that as well. The maps are okay. Not best. I do feel like they're is spawn trapping that happens at times. I feel like they could've done much better with this game. Also, the campaign was really short for a game. If they do decide to do a MW4, hopefully it'll be much much better than this.
Start off by saying I've been playing Call of Duty for over 10 years and I've never played a Call of Duty with a bad ending like Modern Warfare III. They just made this to basically tell you that's there's going to be about squeal ( basically Modern Warfare IV). The combat missions are the absolute worst I rather be playing Warzone or a Tom Clancy open world game. Multiplayer I'll give a 8, it takes the cake here and Zombies I'll give a 7. Conclusion: It's not the worst Call of Duty or the best, the developers could've done so much more with the campaign, so I think a 5/10 is the perfect rating.

I love the call of duty franchise. Have been playing all the way since call of duty 3. Took some breaks here and there but have remained loyal to the franchise. This cod, to say the least, is the worst one I have ever played. The multiplayer has just been catered to streamers and content creators that complained all last year about MW2. Its sad to see a franchise bend the knee this much for content creators and not all the people that just want to enjoy the game. They have made it almost impossible to enjoy this game casually. Hopefully they will produce updates and fix the game but as it stands I can't rate this game above 1 star.
I know what people will say and that I'm not good, but that is simply not the case. I am a consistent 1.5kd plus player and have earned the mastery camos for cods in the past. Just make the game fun.

Absolutely love the game for about 2 months now the servers are absolute trash ive gotten kicked numerous times just this week resulting in mass sr loss ive lagged out of every match today and its not my wifi.... Extremely disappointed and will no longer be supporting call of duty. Most lobbies are full of hackers and people who run mods which also takes away from the game itself.. makes it quite unfair and un enjoyable to play.. the black op 6 beta was great for the first day as well until the same issues started to occur... love the games but its not worth my time or money to support the horrible server quality and never ending disappointment.
