Modern Warfare 3 review

Call of Duty, one of the best shooter game franchises around, has just released the latest addition to the ‘Modern Warfare’ franchise. Adding on to the previous seven games made by treyarch, this is the eighth! MW3 is the third, but maybe not the final, part to the Modern Warfare series.


The brand new game was released at one second after mid-night on 08/11/11 at stores all around the country. Thousands of gamers flocked to stores like Blockbuster, Game, Granger Games, and even Morrison’s and Asda have seen the opportunity to sell the product.


The game features all new technology creating some of the most realistic war scenes and scenery. Modern Warfare 3’s story starts with the previous star of both MW’s Captain Soap McTavish injured and in need of help. The game features chemical warfare in places all around the world; London, Berlin, Paris, Manhattan, Russia and Afghanistan. The war base story is that the Russians, lead by the Ultra Nationalist leader, Makarov. Who was part of the mass killing in the airport in the previous Modern Warfare.


Makarov and his men release chemical bombs all over the capitals of the world. This is to open a path for the Russian forces to storm into Berlin and capture the Berlin Presidents daughter (Alena Vorshevsky)  so that the president will give up the launch codes and level Manhattan, Berlin and London!




Scenes in the game are very explicit and contain huge violence and death. During the game very explicit scenes occur. One of these is my favourites: US troops in Paris are fighting of the enemy close to the Eiffel Tower. Enemies call in multiple air strikes on the tower and cause it to fall to the ground!


The game also features a newly updated version of special ops, containing endless waves of enemy forces, helicopters, juggernauts (an enemy in large armour), dogs and terrorists with bombs strapped onto them.


Special ops and campaign mode isn’t the only thing this game has to offer. Online mode, also known as multiplayer, can let you battle out against anyone around the world in lobbies from 5 to 24.


You can also customize your weapons and kits, adding perks and other things such as equipment like grenades and flash bangs. While online you can sync a microphone up with your console and interact with everyone. Also, if you’re doing well and you’re getting killed without dying you will be rewarded with a kill streak.


All in all I would really consider this game for Christmas
