Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
Ever since the release of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, the Call of Duty franchise exploded in popularity, namely for the casual crowd. If there are any simple reasons for this shift in the game’s audience, it would have to be the ease with which one can play the game and perform moderately well. Arguably, this can happen with any game, but the Infinity Ward of 2007 used a blend of simplicity, customization, and smooth gameplay to deliver a highly polished game with a mesmerizing multiplayer experience for many hours of fun. However, over the course of the franchise’s life, the adjustments and additions to the Call of Duty games have lacked the unique zest that was introduced five years ago, and many of the changes have been very minimal. In November of 2011, Infinity Ward, in conjunction with Sledgehammer Games, released the extremely anticipated Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 as followers of the game eagerly awaited the continuation of the story and more hours of fun on the game’s notorious multiplayer. Seeing as how this is the most recent Call of Duty, it is also the best one. In this review I will focus on the three main modes featured in the game which include Special Ops, Campaign, and Multiplayer.
