great game
This year, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 has more to aim for than any game before it, as well as ensuring the reputation of the franchise and also having to compete with its new rival, Battlefield 3.
Once again, however, the linear nature of CoD games has returned in this latest installment, with the game pulling your hand in basically one direction, which some what lets down the immersion of single player. The AI of enemies, as well as their accuracy, tends to scale well with the difficulty levels, but your team mates will seem like a lost cause. Gunplay wise, the game feels just like EVERY game since Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. Not that it is a bad thing though, as the fans seem to love it for some reason.
Now, as for the Multiplayer, it is indeed worth it, and fixes the fail that was Black Ops, although it makes no leaps and bounds to put itself forward in the war fps genre. Killstreaks have now been replaced by Strike Packages that are divided into three categories, Assault, Support, and Specialist. Each package will allow perks and rewards as points are earned, with the player having the ability to swap between packages in game.
Assault works like the care package killstreak and allows you to drop things like helicopter gunships and predators. Support drops, well support based items such as Sam Turrets and UAVs, while the Specialist package hands out perks with each kill. The change from killstreaks is rather refreshing and adds a slight strategic element to the game, while also helping the people who are not so skilled to get them.
