Modern Warfare 3 Review

Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 is a lot like the previous Modern Warfares' in it's gameplay and the lack luster story facet of the franchise but, I think it really separated itself in the multiplayer aspect.
Campaign: Once again the campaign lacks in appeal and if your buying this game purely for the campaign be warned its awfully short and although fun action wise the story is terrible and scenes supposed to connect with gamers emotionally fail miserably. It seems as though the entire campaign is spent riding around and using vehicles but, the fact that you travel to different settings give it a nice touch.
Gameplay: Practically the same as any other game the controls are the same, graphics and sound are better, and of course the multiplayer is addicting. The biggest addition to gameplay is the strike packages which help cater to any type of players gaming style. The guns seem pretty similar with a few new additions and the addition of prestige tokens is a nice touch.
Presentation: The graphics are great but it seems they put a lot of structures from Modern Warfare 2 and recycled them into Modern Warfare 3. The sound as stated above is great and is way better than any previous game.
Online Multiplayer: It still far and away the best online multiplayer franchise on the planet (sorry Battlefield). The addition of a few new game types like kill confirmed (my personal favorite) adds to the pleasure of playing this game. Kill confirmed is like team deathmatch but instead of a person just dying you have to grab their dog tags which hover over their body and you must retrieve them to get credited a point as a team. One knock on the multiplayer is quick scoping is back which is frustrating. They also took out the ability to dive which is a draw back for me. As I stated above the strike packages are cool and the fact that you can die and still add your kills streaks with the support choice is a nice touch as well. I also like the prestige tokens and the ability to gain double xp adds to the lure of this game.
Grade: The final grade I would give it is a solid 9.5, the main drawback is the campaign, I'm still yet to play any spec ops but when I play them I will review those. The online play continues to wow me and continues to set the standard as a FPS.
