Who would've thought that a COD game would take up so much of my life? IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII Diiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiid!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For starters, the campaign was much better than I expected. From a game like this you'd expect nothing more than complete focus on multiplayer. So imagine how surprised I was when I spent hours longer on the story than I did on team deathmatch. The story takes place throughout several countries with several military forces. Each mission has you taking the role of a soldier from these countries fighting for their governments and the good of the people. These soldiers range from a special US task force to a disavowed British special forces unit. These missions transition seamlessly between one another so it feels more like a coherent series of events rather than just one after the other. In short, don't overlook this as just some distraction from multiplayer.
Spec-Ops is returning from the previous installment of Modern Warfare. Its basically several objective based missions that have you and an optional partner working together to complete it. To be completely honest, I don't really enjoy this part of the game. I just feel like its not needed when you have such a solid campaign and multiplayer.
Now why is it that most people play military shooters? They play it for the multiplayer and frankly, I love this feature too. This is the part of this game that I'll stay up until 3AM for. In fact I've done just that 4 times since I got the game. The multiplayer is just like you'd remember. Join a match of your choosing and take care of business to rank up and unlock new things. What's new about this is that the weapons you use rank up just like you do and through these ranks, they unlock new attachments and perks. Another returning feature are killstreaks and deathstreaks which essentially give you special rewards for gaining a certain number of kills or deaths.
FINAL BITE- Modern Warfare 3 is by far one of the best shooters I've played in a long time and can easily dominate your lives yet you won't even care since you'll be having so much fun.
