For those with call of duty modern warfare 3 and version 4. I recommend acquiring this program for game continuity. This is an excellant game and both the solo and multi player versions are outstanding.

I have almost all of the COD games. I still like to play COD I and II. I was disgusted with Modern Warfare, as soon as the hackers came out, it ruined what little there was. As for MW3 I have not run into hackers yet, but probably will. If it happens this time, I am through with IW and COD. I have been more than patient.

The narrow lines of travel in the single player continue to baffle me, especially when there are plenty of games that do not do it.

I like the multi-player maps in this game, so far. The system is a little different. We now have levels on the weapons themselves and not just the player. This is an advantage if you play with the same weapon long enough. But newer players get hosed and their shots hit, but do nothing. When I first started, I emptied a clip from an assault rifle into a player, and he pulls out a REVOLVER and shoots me once! Yeah right. Now doing better after a long while.

The lack of servers and possibility of cheating is a big turn off.

The graphics were very glitchy in the game. A long band of grey appeared like a blanket. You could walk under it, or over it, but in it you could see nothing. Restarting got rid of it. I have tried all manner of settings and it does not happen all the time, nor does one setting make it happen more.

I just got the game, so I am being very nice to give it a second star. It is after all better than MW2 in the single player anyway. I did not play multi-player in MW2. Too disgusted with MW1 I guess.

Not recommended for people who do not already love COD.

This game has every element that made Call of Duty 4 great, and more! More perks, online co-op campaign, vehicles, and DOGS! The multiplayer is just as addicting, if not more, than Call of Duty 4, and that's not your thing, then you can always beat the game with your friends via Xbox Live! I love it, and if you don't like WWII weapons, then you shouldn't have bought the game, however, these weapons are still awesome. Overall, I think World at War will be a game of the year contender.

Don't believe everything you read. Simply try the game out for yourself and make up your own mind. MW3's campaign was the most exciting campaign in the Modern Warfare series. While the characters are the same (it is a trilogy), the gameplay mechanics and styles varied on every level. You were a ground soldier, sniper, pilot, AC-130 gunner, helicopter gunner, etc. alternating each mission, so it never got stale. I highly recommend it. I'm not even going to go into multiplayer as you know the the basics of that. With nearly 20 modes and over a dozen new maps, you will be playing this for a long time.

Without jumping on the hate train I do believe this a really good game, it has a solid storyline, multiplayer is the same old same old but its still fun with friends, "Better the devil you know"  and you cant beat having Modern Warfare as part of the bundle. Is not the greatest Call of Duty, far from it, but is certaintly not the worst. not if you have played Ghosts that is. Definitely not on the same ballpark as Battelfield 1, this in my opinion is AA baseball, Battelfield is Major leagues. Just an honest opinion.

I'm new to the COD franchise. I DID have my eye on Modern Warfare, but now I think I'll pass (or at least wait until I can get it used for cheap). I played the campaign in under 6 hours and was getting pretty bored with it. The combat is pretty real and real brutal.  But I've had more fun and bigger challenges in other games.

The campaign seems like more of an after-thought. It's like the creators built an on-line only game, but felt guilty for charging us $60 bucks for that, so threw together a campaign the night before it got released, just to ease their conscience.

HOWEVER, I'm not a big fan of playing online, but WaW makes playing online fun. I actually enjoy it.  That's about all I've got to say.

So...I've heard what people have said, and I've played it. Usually the multiplayer online isn't the BEST, but it gets the job done. I much prefer playing with friends and find the lag to be little to none. As for the graphics...good enough. I love the reload animations, guns and sounds which remind me of Modern Warfare 2.

The reason so many people complain, is that they forget  something... ONE: BUY A GODFORSAKEN Thylus, or Ds Wrist Strap for six dollars. That way you aren't cramping up. They are under ten bucks and last a good while. And since this is a FPS, you need one. Even IGN points out that having a ds strap for ANY fps on the ds, helps it out infinitely.

I would reccomend this game to any Call of Duty fans, as long as they accomplish the above. As for the weapons and campaign...I loved them, and kind of was disappointed that you couldn't just unlock them during campaign. But all well. Better than no auto shotty's right?

Lol.

This game, Battlefield: Bad Company 2, has one of the most satisfying online co-op experiences ever! I hear people say that "Nah Modern Warfare 2 is better" but in respect to both of the games, you cant really compare the two. They each have their own appealing factor but for the sake of this review I will focus mainly on BFBC2. 1st thing 1st, if you are trying to purchase this game soley for the Single-player campaign, I will tell you that the online play is what makes this game truly shine. What makes this game stand out for me is that this game includes tanks, terrain vehicles, helicopters, etc. that the player may use to their discretion BUT the thing is that YOU the player are actually controlling the vehicle and that you can have your squadmates control the guns while you pilot the vehicle. Speaking of squadmates, this game is heavily based on co-op. When you join a team, it is recommended that you "Squad-up" which is essentially forming a smaller faction (made up of 4 players) inside of your team. For example, while playing the Rush mode the maximum # of available players on one team is 16 so there would exist 4 squads. Your squad is important because they are the people you can spawn on instead of spawning at the base which would help in overwhelming the opposition or providing much needed assistance to squadmates under heavy fire. Another important feature in BFBC2 is the existence of four classes: Assualt, Engineer, Medic, and Recon. Each class has there own specific weapons and duties to perform. I'll break em down for ya: Assualt-Carry Assualt rifles/can drop ammo boxes to team to replenish ammunition, Engineer-Carry Sub-Machine Guns/Can repair vehicles with repair tools AND is the only class to carry rocket launchers and anti-tank mines (They are usually the ones you rely on to blow up stuff like...tanks lol), Medic-Carry Heavy Machine Guns/Can drop health packs to heal team AND can bring teammates back to life (this ability is VERY important and you will see why when you buy the game ^_^), and Recon-Sniper rifles/can carry C4 packets or can summon a Mortar strike to bomb enemies from above. Each class has their own strengths and weaknesses but depending on how you set your perks (which work almost the same as in Modern Warfare 2) you can still make a class to your liking. And to make things better, this game also supports voice chat so you can actually talk to your squadmates and devise plans to ensure victory. If you like Tactical shooter...or team based combat, get this game. It will not disappoint you

I really got bored of the duel wielding shotgun toting marathon COD MW2, so BFBC2 is a great alternative.  I have a blast online and the single player is fun with Diverse missions that are engaging.  They fixed my main gripes with the first one, mainly no scopes for the weapons other than sniper rifles.  Now it has unlocking of upgrades similar to COD MW2 and scopes for all weapons.  Finally get to use assault rifles from a distance is these big maps.  Overall great game best multiplayer I have played so far haven't really had any trouble with people glitching or cheating which is nice, it does have the occasional EA server lag but overall is an enjoyable experience.

I bought MAG the first day it came out, and honestly, when i hooked it up, it wasn't that fun.  I was used to COD gameplay, so I was terrible at this at first.  It gets fun after you unlock better weapons and attachments.  Ive played as both SVER (Better at offense) and Raven (Better at defense).  If you're looking for a more realistic game than COD, this is what you want.  If you want better graphics and being able to run around knifing people, get COD.  I play and enjoy both.

If you are a fan of MW2 then you are going to love this game. It takes the best things from MW2 and the best things from Black Ops and combines them for MW3.  There is so much depth to the online play that you will spend hours upon hours playing and there will still be so much more to be completed.

Single player:
10/10 - I love the single player. You are playing the best parts of an action movie for 8-10 hours. If you want open worlds and the ability to roam around then purchase an RPG like Fallout, Oblivion, Skyrim, etc. This is a shooter and most play them for the fast paced jaw dropping action and this game DELIVERS!!

Multiplayer:
10/10 - very similar to other COD games, especially MW2. If you like previous COD games then you will feel right at home. You earn unlocks vs the purchasing system they used on Black Ops. I didn't like the purchasing system. I like having incentive to use different guns to unlock their attachments.

The Survial mode and Spec Ops are VERY VERY fun too. This game has enough multiplayer options to keep this game fresh for a year or two!!

Call of Duty 4 is probably the best modern FPS I have ever played. The campagin is a very detailed story that almost spells out the end of the world. You start out as "Soap", a British SAS soldier. Your first mission is to storm a cargoship by the cover of dark during a strong storm. Your team repels down from a helicoptor and storms the command deck. You kill all enemies and go down a flight of stairs and onto the main deck. You then advance into the cargo hold of the ship, take out more terrorists, and find the "package". You don't get to secure the package however, because the enemy sends 2 Migs to sink the ship. The ship is hit and you have to run off of it and jump onto the helicoptor.
  The campagin progresses as you covering a Russian assualt on Russian rebels using a sniper rifle. You then break into a house and use night-vision to rescue a spy that was arrested. After that mission you switch to an American marine in Iraq. You go on several missions from storming buildings in search of a terrorist named Al Assad, to defending a broken down tank, to having a massive urban shootout. Your final mission in Iraq is helping a pinned down squad in the center of Al Assad's capital city. As you, your squad, and the soldiers you rescued are airlifted out of the area, a large nuclear device explodes. That is the end of your days as a marine.
  The campagin heats up as you go fifteen years into the past as a British sniper to snipe a nuclear weapons dealer. You shoot him, and then try to carry your wounded partner out of a deserted Ukraine town. This part of the game is very hard.
  After you go back to present day, you go on a mission to arrest the weapons dealer's son. You get him to surrender, but he pulls out a handgun and kills himself.
  The weapon's dealer, who somehow survived the sniper shot, tells the SAS and USMC (who are working together in a top secret mission.)that they need to leave Russia, or he will launch nuclear warheads at the US. US and SAS forces move in to take out the Russian launch site where the missiles will be launced from, but they don't get there in time. Two warheads launch and start heading towards the US. You then have to break into a nuclear bunker. This is a very hard mission, because the enemy is usually only a few feet from you, and grenades are flying everywhere.
  After you disarm the missiles, your team tries to escape by driving out of the area. As you cross a bridge, a helicopter blows up the bridge. You are wounded, and you see the Russian arms dealer come onto the remains of the bridge and start shooting your teammates. Your team leader throws you a pistol. You use the pistol to take out the arms dealer.
  If you watch all of the credits, you get to unlock a bonus mission. The bonus mission is very fun and intense. You have to storm AIR FORCE ONE and free the President from Russian terrorists who are seeking revenge.
  Call of Duty 4 also has incredible graphics. The explosions and backgrounds look really cool. The audio is very impressive as well.
  WARNING! Call of Duty 4 does deserve it's M rating. I don't know why it has strong language written on the box, because the worst word in the game is "oh s***!" The game does have some blood in it when you shoot enemies, but there is no gore in the game. The game does have some extreme violence in it. Almost every second of the game you are killing terrorsits. The action never stops. During the sniping misson and the silo mission, the terrorists send war dogs after you. It is very hard to see you shoot the dogs and watch them die. If the dogs jump on you, you have to strangle them to death.
  All in all, Call of Duty 4 is a great game. Other then the violence and blood, it is a very good FPS.

Graphics  A++
Sound  A
Gameplay  A+
Intensity- High
Violence-  extreme
language-  mild
blood-  moderate
Rating-  Appropriate
Recomendation- Only buy if you are a die hard FPS fan and can take hardcore action and some killing of animals.

I am a big cod fan i have to say,and i also have played almost every battlefield so i am not biased.cod 4 was really my favorite game. MW3 me back to those cod4 crack days where it was so hard to quit. Making that next level was always the goal. Mw3 shows that infinity ward learned from their mistakes. I will get into some deeper points.

Graphics=i have to admit that mw3's graphics are not up to snuff of the newer fps's. I find no excuse for not making a new engine after almost 6 years. The graphics still have more detail than past cod's though.

Story=vladamir makarov is still the main antagonist this time. You will travel all over the world and switch perspectives to unravel the mystery and atop makarov once and for all. Lots of past cod characters return including ghost,soap,price,griggs,and some new characters make their debut. The environments go from New York to Paris and back again. Open areas come into play to allow the player to have a bit of wiggling room when in combat.

Gameplay=cod had had the same game play since cod 4.you have your basic frag grenade,special grenade,zoom in and shoot. The dolphin diving has been removed,but u can still jump to prone.

Multiplayer=the crown jewel of cod. This time,the multiplayer has been completely revamped. Players who go for objectives that were looked over in past games are now rewarded with point-streaks. Strike packages have been introduced with contain sets of point-streaks. One for a objective player,one for a killing type of player,one for a defensive type of player,and one for a all around type of player.

I am a big fan of cod. I have prestige lots of times,and i fell mw3 has redeemed infinity ward in my eyes.cod may be hated for being a yearly franchise and not doing anything different but it is just fine with me.

I Rated 5/5 Because:
Finally Blacks Ops 2 Delivers It's again a feeling you play a new call of duty and not the same old cod (But new maps etc...)

Pros: A lot of fun, Feels like a new COD, Really fun campagin (Good story!)
Cons: I don't know I liked it a lot! :)

I've been playing cod for a long time! This game is garbage! I payed $80 for this? But modern warfare is awesome. That's what saved their ass and they know it.

Amazing game by the developers who brought you CoD4 the best game in the CoD franchise. Ironically Activision is using that same game as a remaster to get you to buy the latest in the steaming pile of crap that Call of Duty has become.

Buy it, you won't be disappointed.

Definitely a step up from Ghosts.  This years version of Call of Duty adds new traversal methods in both single player and multiplayer.

The single player campaign clocks in at around 6 to 8 hours as all call of duty games seem to recently.  Kevin Spacey does a great job in his role, although the cg can be disturbing in his eyes(uncanny valley).

Multiplayer is where the new jet pack traversal method shines.  Maps now feature multiple levels that can be easy traversed with a quick double jump.  The Pick 13 is back from Black Ops 2, a step up from Ghosts points feature.  Weapons keep the futuristic motiff, with shotguns and rifles alike taking on future features.

The only downside is that its more of the same.  Its call of duty and it very much feels similar.  What really is interesting is where Activision goes from here.  The change to a better faster moving game is what the series needs and going back to a more familiar game may hurt the series more.
