On November 8^th, 2011, Infinity Ward released the new and improved Modern Warfare. Even though the Call of Duty franchise has been a very contradictory subject, it will always be one of the greatest selling games in history.

Many people believe that certain games are better than others. For being out less than a month, there seems to be an even amount of people that believe Modern Warfare 3(MW3) could be better, and those who believe that that the game is great the way it is. When Call of Duty: Black Ops was released, it practically changed everyone’s mind of the series. Modern Warfare 2 was proclaimed the greatest action game of all time, and when Black Ops was released the following year, it was a disappointment to most everyone.

As shocking as it may seem, the multiplayer in Modern Warfare 3 is similar to Modern Warfare 2, yet it has a different vibe. "The entire Killstreak reward system has been revamped. Killstreaks are now known as Pointstreaks, and kills are no longer the only way to increase the player’s pointstreak. Completing objectives such as planting the bomb in Search and Destroy or capturing a flag in Capture the Flag awards points towards the player’s Pointstreak. Pointstreak rewards are organized into three different "strike packages" called Assault, Support, and Specialist" according to Wikipedia. Modern Warfare 3 consists of many new maps (Arkaden, Dome, and Resistance etc.), new guns (SCAR-L, Type 95, and G36C etc.), new perks (Overkill, Stalker, Covert etc.) and new Killstreaks (Osprey Gunner, Juggernaut, Advanced UAV, etc.). This game has 80 levels before one can prestige instead of 70, but still has 10 prestiges. To find out more, purchase the game and experience it for yourself!

Within 24 hours of going on sale, the game sold 6.5 million copies in the US and UK alone and grossed $400 million. This game is really one that needs to be played! I honestly believe that the game has a great feel. Even though it is a lot like Modern Warfare 2, it still has a lot of new stuff. The game has some of the same guns such as the UMP 45 and the SCAR, but they both have a different feel when shot than they do in Modern Warfare 2.

The campaign for MW3 is slightly different from its predecessors. The player assumes the role of different people on different days for each mission. The heads up display shows the player where to go, what to do, and how do it. It’s up to the player to get done. Objectives vary from arriving at a particular checkpoint on time to eliminating enemies at a specified location. This game will not disappoint. If you’re an action packed, first person shooter kind of person, this game is for you!
