How is it doing these days? Are there still people playing the online, or has everyone moved onto BLOPS 2? I found MW3 for $20 onhttp://www.g2play.net and i've been wanting a Cod game for a while since I don't have one.

3 is much worse. The maps are abysmal. The campaign was ok.

I agree about getting Black Ops 2 though, its a much better game.

BO2, MW2, COD 4 MW, BO1, WaW above is a list of better choices, in random order.

Too many hackers. Get Black Ops 2, one of the best CoDs to come out.

If you got someone to play Spec Ops with then it might be worth it. The single player campaign is completely forgettable and I would say the worst in the series.

Alright thanks guys I guess i'll pass. The only reason I was thinking of getting it is cause I was a big fan of MW2. It was awesome, so thought MW3 might be a overall good online shooter, but I think i'll wait until BLOPS 2 goes on sale. Thanks again.

Lots of people wait for a sale on CoD but they rarely come.... and when they DO come, everyone has moved onto the next CoD so it's a lot harder to find people playing online. Just buy it, it's definitely one of the best and great fun.

Single player campaign is good. Probably many have moved on from multiplayer though.

This with one small fix, it is definitely the worst CoD released. Go for BO 2.

I was a big fan of MW2 as well, and Blops 2 isn't any better than MW3. Would recommend just playing MW2 using fourdeltaone.net :) Or MW1 still has a small community going for it as well.

I used to play AlterIW, but ever since it shutdown there isn't really any other servers that are well populated enough to make it fun. Thats why I wanted to try MW3. How is Four Delta One? Really don't want to spend $60 on BLOPS 2, so I think i'll just wait it out.

DO NOT BUY. Every second game will have a hacker and that is not an exaggeration. The game's population is low enough that you've got a choice between maybe 4 of the gamemodes, and if you quit a game because of a hacker and try the same gamemode, you will likely be placed back in the game you just quit.

MW3 is the worst of the entire series, and I say it subjectively. If you really insist on playing COD then play BLOPS2. They finally did away with kill streaks.

It's pretty much Alter reborn, but legit. Uses your Steam install and key so there is no workaround for non-paying customers. Last time I played, it was fairly populated.

They also have a version for MW3 but I haven't tried it...

I think MW3 has a lot of quality single player/co-op content. If you are looking for multiplayer thoe, don't buy it on PC.

Modern Warfare 3 got rid of killstreaks.

The single-player was kind of enjoyable (less so than MW1 or 2). To me, the multiplayer is just not worth it when I have PS2.

Always been a fan of its SP and I wanted to see its conclusion. The thing with COD is that, in its first few months its all good but it does get boring easily. Also, The support for the game gets drop once a new game comes out. For $20 its ok. Complete the SP, Spec Ops and maybe check how its MP but if you are buying it strictly for its multiplayer then don't.
