Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (abbreviated as Call of Duty: MW3, or just simply MW3) is a first-person shooter video game, developed by Infinity Ward and Sledgehammer Games, with Raven Software having assisted in development.[7] It is the third installment in the Modern Warfare series, a direct sequel to 2009′s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, and the eighth Call of Duty installment.
The game was released on November 8, 2011 in Europe and North America on Microsoft Windows, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3,[8] and Wii,[6] with a separate version for Nintendo DS developed by n-Space. In Australia, the Wii version was released on November 23, 2011.[9] In Japan, Square Enix handled the installment with a separate subtitled and dubbed version, as they did for Call of Duty: Black Ops. They first released a Japanese-subtitled version on November 17, 2011. Then, on December 22, 2011, they released a Japanese-voice dubbed version. Within 24 hours of going on sale, the game sold 6.5 million copies in the US and UK alone and grossed $400 million, making it the biggest entertainment launch of all time.[10][11][12]
Modern Warfare 3 has received generally positive reviews from critics. The Daily Telegraph gave the game’s Xbox 360 version 5 stars out of 5, stating, “The series has always been renowned for elements like the excellent sound design, the gloss, polish and compulsion of its gameplay, but with Modern Warfare 3, Infinity Ward and Sledgehammer Games have created a game that not only lives up to the brand hype but exceeds it. A game where the mass appeal is justified, and the expectations are met.”[96]
IGN gave the game’s Xbox 360 version a 9.0 out of 10.0, pointing out that the game offers “great multiplayer, [a] fun campaign, tons of content, but [also] a forgettable story.”[94]
GameSpot qualifies the game, stating that “the series’ signature thrills have lost some of their luster. Modern Warfare 3 iterates rather than innovates, so the fun you have is familiar” but concludes its review by affirming that, “Fortunately, [the game is] also utterly engrossing and immensely satisfying, giving fans another reason to rejoice in this busy shooter season.”.[92]
The Wii version of the game has not gotten as positive reviews. IGN rated the game a 4.5 out of 10, blaming the lacking graphics and poor friend code system for bringing it down.[99]
Ben “Yahtzee” Croshaw for Zero Punctuation place this game alongside Battlefield 3 as the number 1 worst game of 2011, saying “I don’t hate them because they’re poorly made or failing what they set out to do, I hate them for what they represent” and also said that both games could be a good excuse for the human race to “stop existing generally”.
