User blog:MarlboroNS/My Review of MW3.

Before I begin, im going to remind everyone that these are my own personal opinions. I encourage you wholeheartedly to comment if you disagree with anything i've said.

I was so excited for this game. I had two science A level resits the day this came out and remember glancing up at the clock during my three hour Physics paper and imagining that in a few hours time I would be playing MW3. Now I just feel cheated and let down, and this is why:

Campaign: I very much enjoyed the campaign, but it certanitly did not do the hype justice. What I despretley wanted was a stealth sniper mission akin to All Ghillied Up, but that did not happen. The TF141 campaign was pretty good, but the American missions were (as usual) boring and repetitive. Typical American mission: follow Sandman. Shoot a Russian. End mission. I wanted to play as the GIGN and the Bundeswehr, not be an American in Europe. The only other fault I had was with Makarov's death. Why hang him from a ceiling? Just shoot him! Ridicoulous. The campaign was also very short, if they wanted to they really could have done a WW3, instead it was just tidbits of the unbeatable Americans killing everyone, like in every COD game.

Spec Ops: Spec Ops is decent, but the missions are awful compared to MW2. Very dissapointing. Survival is decent, but I think its impossible to get past Round 25, or maybe I just suck. Anyways, its OK I guess, but it could have been so much better.

Multiplayer: Well, I would give it a three out of ten. The reasond for this are: I have more gripes, but can't be bothered to go through them now. Despite this, I actually got into this game and was starting to really enjoy it. However, last week, I was de- ranked from Level 72 to Level 55. I would love somebody to explain to me why this happened. I was watching a Theater mode game and quit it halfway through to have a shower, next day I was 55 again. I love COD and IW in particular, but MW3 was a big letdown. I already have taken a vow never to touch another Treyarch game after the unmitigated disaster of Black Ops, so on buying any new games from Activison is questionable. I will go back to playing MW2, which I think is the best in the series by far, despite the well documented bullshit we all know about.
 * The maps are horrible, I was craving for the dull greyness of Crap Ops maps after about an hour.
 * The PM-9 is the Mini Uzi. Why not just call it that? It has the same sounds and mags and is basically identical.
 * Type 95- FAMAS, PKP- RPD, MP-9- TMP.
 * The lag is horrendous; it has been getting worse since MW2.
 * Everybody uses the Stealth Bomber, it literally bombs the map every 30 secs.
 * In pre- release screens, 32 players could play at once. What happened to that?
