Modern Warfare 3

Modern Warfare 3's multiplayer is the shining light of this year's Call of Duty offering and is without a doubt the glue holding the whole package together. Unfortunately, it's hard to ignore the glaring cracks in what should have probably been an expansion for MW2.

Zombies may be solid, but it's ultimately difficult to push away the thoughts that a typical round-based experience would have just been better. Treyarch's innovation of the formula is certainly commendable, but the injection of DMZ elements may have done more harm than good to the undead mode.

Rounded off with a campaign that completely missed the mark in nearly every department, Modern Warfare 3 is disappointingly mediocre. However, as any CoD fan will tell you, the legacy of MW3 will be determined over the course of its multiplayer lifecycle, and how Sledgehammer chooses to respond to community feedback.
