Graphics: 23/25
Modern Warfare 3 runs on the MW3 engine (Infinity Ward is nothing if not original in naming their assets, huh?), which gives the game a nice graphical boost over what we saw in Modern Warfare 2. It’s not a giant leap by any means, but the difference is apparent when you are charging through the wonderfully detailed streets of New York, Paris, or London. At one point the players have to fight through a sandstorm that looks absolutely amazing.
The game runs at a smooth 60 frame per second clip, and I am happy to report that not once did Modern Warfare 3 slow down, glitch out, or display an obscene amount of tearing/clipping. Let’s see challenger to the throne Dice and their mess of a Frostbite 2 engine claim that and keep a straight face. All and all I was very impressed with the upgraded visuals. Sure you can find a low-res texture here and there but for the most part Modern Warfare 3 is a very visually appealing game from the patches on individual squad mates arms, to the Remington logo on your Scar-H. The game looks fantastic, but does the gameplay hold up to the visuals?
Gameplay: 18/25
Super linear are two words that pop to mind when playing any Call of Duty game. Usually the development team, be it Infinity Ward or Treyarch, do an outstanding job of masking that linearity behind QTE’s, big events, and large amazingly rendered environments. That hasn’t changed in Modern Warfare 3…for the first few missions. After that the game loses it’s expansive environments for the most part, and becomes blatantly obvious in leading the player by the nose through the rest of the campaign.
The enemy AI is either wildly retarded, or god like in their accuracy depending on the games mood. Couple that with the fact that your squad AI is just south of worthless, and frustration does tend to mount. Not to mention that on more than one occasion enemy troops spawned behind me in a room I had just cleared, treating me to an awesome rifle butt to the back of the head as I screamed “WTF” at my LCD. I swear to god I caught two of my squad mates shooting at a wall to the right of us, while swarms of enemy combat units were directly in front of us…*shakes head*
Fortunately, the smooth run and gun mechanics that have been mimicked by every FPS since the release of the original Modern Warfare have not been touched it seems. Why mess with perfection?
Story: 15/25
Modern Warfare 3 is the conclusion of the Price/Makarov/World War 3 storyline, and sees Makarov attempting to escalate the conflict he engineered in Modern Warfare 2. Kidnapping the Russian President while on the way to peace talks with the U.S. and bringing chemical weapons to bear on a major European city is all just build up to Makarov’s true objective. Get Russia’s nuclear launch codes and release Armageddon on the West!
And there is only one team that can stop him…
Players will spend the majority of their time as a member of Task Force 141, constantly being outwitted or flat out killed (directly or indirectly) by Makarov.
It’s depressing, 141 isn’t the most likeable bunch and their story arc always seems to slow the game down with relatively meaningless objectives, in relatively meaningless locales, that do not make a lot of sense in the grander scheme of things. 141′s segments of the story should be building up tension to the larger events in the game. Personally, I found myself dreading having to jump back into Yuri’s (Who the ** is Yuri?) combat boots, to follow Capt. Price as he led me from one bottleneck to the next.
Modern Warfare 3′s story is comparable to Michael Bay’s Transformers movies. Nobody really cares about what the hell Indiana Jones Jr. is talking about, we just want to see big robots scrapping in the front lawn. So when the game tries to illicit an emotional response to certain events it feels forced, rushed and out of place. There is a certain level of development a character has to go through for the audience to feel any kind of empathy towards them. That just isn’t the case with Modern Warfare 3, and key moments of the game fall flat because of it.
Replayability: 25/25
While I found the majority of the campaign to be pretty lackluster, there are a few missions that I would want to go back and revisit. Now, on to why people really buy anything with the Call of Duty logo on it…the multiplayer component.
I’m absolutely sure that people are going to throw around the term “Modern Warfare 2.5″ when talking about Modern Warfare 3′s multiplayer component, and that’s not a bad thing. Remember how much fun you had, and how many hours of your life were wasted playing MW2′s multiplayer. Well prepare for a similar investment.
There are a few differences that bare noting. Killstreaks have been replaced by Strike Packages that break down into three categories, Assault, Support, and Specialist. Each package will bestow various perks or rewards as points (that’s right, points not kills) are accumulated, and the player has the ability to choose between packages during the round.
Assault acts much like the care package killstreak and can drop favorites like helicopter gunships, and predators. Support drops team benefiting items like Sam Turrets, and UAVs, while the Specialist package hands out perks with each consecutive kill.
While I don’t believe that a change from the old killstreak system was needed, Strike Packages add a bit more stratagem to matches that I did enjoy. While strategy in a round of Modern Warfare multiplayer might seem a bit silly, especially with games like *** 3 on the market, it was refreshing.
Spec Ops also makes a return, and once again features Co-Op play. The new set of Spec Ops missions are highly enjoyable and will have players running them over and over again to beat their best score. This time around you can take on missions for Makarov as well, hijacking the Russian Presidents plane was a particular high note.
Of course you can not release a game these days without some variation of “horde mode” in it, and Modern Warfare 3 is no exception. Personally I couldn’t care less about these game modes, but I know people out there do. Well you will be happy to know that MW3′s Survival “Horde” Mode is as good as any other games.
Finally the ranking and prestige systems have been revamped so instead of players unlocking as they level up, now their main weapon will level up with them, unlocking perks like low-recoil or stopping power along the way. Prestiging will give players access to the Prestige Shop where they can spend tokens on exclusive perks. It’s nice to have Prestige actually mean something more than just “I’ve played this game way to long”.
