Modern Warfare 3 The Review.

There are two things in gaming that I am undoubtedly thankful for and that is the first Halo game that came out in 2001 and Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare. Both these games changed the face of the first person shooter. fast forward 10 years and the lovely company behind Modern Warfare is at it again with their third installment.  

Modern Warfare 3 takes place right after the second games end. The world is at war and the US is doing everything it can to turn the tide against the Russians. The game starts with you playing as a Delta Team member named Frost he is part of a team called Medal. Your Helicopter has crashed in downtown Manhattan and you have to make your way to the NYC stock exchange to disable a Jamming device.

The game is incredible the graphics are still what I think are the base for any first person shooter. The sounds for the guns and the explosions are still ground breaking and will leave anyone with a headset that plays sounds lowering their volume bars.

 But lets get to what really matters the Multiplayer and the spec ops.  First Spec Ops you now have two modes to choose from survival and missions. Survival is a version of Zombies or horde where you can buy weapons and upgrades for every wave that you survive. While missions is where you again have to play small (obviously missions lol) and earn stars that will lead to you earning some achievements.

The award winning multiplayer is back again. And she has brought some new modes the two modes are called Team defender and Kill confirmed. Kill confirmed is played like and Team Death Match game but you have to collect Dog Tags to make sure that the kill counts towards the team score And you can pick up fallen teammates tags so that the kill wont count towards the other teams score. I honestly dont like this mode because I hate hearing a voice constantly say Kill Confirmed. Team Defender is played like a mix of CTF and Domination but it is constantly on the move. The game starts out with the first blooded dropping a flag and Any team who grabs said flag will constantly earn points that will add to their team score.

After these to new modes everything else is still the same with the exception of the way you get and keep your guns and the way your Killstreaks are setup. In MW3 you now can level up your guns. Weird I know but with each level you get certain extras for the gun such as silencers or grenade launchers and things like that. Killstreaks are put into 3 categories Assault, Support,and Specialist. Assault is all perks for the player who can keep a giant killcount without dying while Support is the killstreaks for a player that like to play casually and help his team out all the while leaving specialist to earn every perk in the game for every 2 kills he gets so for instance for 2 kils you get 3 perks for 4 3 more and for 6 the last 3 until you die that is.

All in all Modern Warfare 3 is a great sequel to one of the greatest games every created and I am ex-tactic to say that this game is totally worth it in every single way there even if you only buy this game to play it offline you will spend hours upon hours playing the Spec Ops modes to see how far you can get.
