The singleplayer experience is what every Modern Warfare has done. Engaging and exciting because we all love a good shooting experience and we are looking forward to the ending of the trilogy that it was built upon in the first Modern Warfare. I personally find it entertaining but there are several issues I come across.
First I felt the story while engaging and enjoying, it lack the closure I want. For starters, you don't get to play with the characters from Modern Warfare 2 I.E. the U.S. Rangers who orders you to do everything under the sun but instead you get a brand spanking new team to play with.
It just seem like an offhanded throw at us gamers because I'm sure we all spent a great number of time on the Modern Warfare games and by then you would have be familiar with most of the characters. Granted by now, if you haven't play the game, Modern Warfare does a great job of killing of people left and right.
While I examine the storyline closely, there are several parts which makes you go "why didn't he do this in MW2?" or "why show a BA survivor who dies in the end because of some flesh wound?"
But of course this to milk the franchise as much as it can with stupid plot holes that just makes you wonder why did you buy the game in the first place? Of course the destruction of several key places in the world is just plain awesome to see. But I'm sorry, nothing comes close to seeing that nuke go off in MW. That still tops my list in one of the most WTF moments in all my gaming experience.
While it was fun to see Russia invading U.S., I just wish it that storyline was slightly longer because its always fun to see two of biggest superpower nations in the world go head to head. Maybe one or two extra missions along the side because I'm having issues that Russia was kicked out of U.S. soil in 1 mission. Whereas in MW2, we clearly see the U.S. army in total disarray and chaos and victory seems far.
But at the end, yes it was satisfying to finally finish the trilogy. And Infinity Ward did a
On the music front, we have Brian Tyler who did several notable movies such as Fast Five, Battle For L.A. and several others which Wikipedia can help provide. As I listen to it, I recognize his style was more heavy rock theme which tells you that its time to kick ass and finish this game. I feel the music is divided in two different styles. One which is the rock style of military fighting and the heavy percussion emotional drive like what Lorne Balfe & Hans Zimmer did in Modern Warfare 2.
Then we have graphics. I really cannot give a good one seeing I'm playing using a laptop but from what I can seen, I still see some of the graphic that were being reused in Modern Warfare 2 again. That being said, it still feels like the same thing I played on Modern Warfare 2 with maybe a slightly higher graphic but nothing really stands out to me.
Moving onto the multiplayer, I still feel saddened its still not like Modern Warfare. I miss playing with 24 players on a long set limit of score and time rather than being confided to maybe 10 minutes max or 7500 score limit. Clearly it's a depart from Modern Warfare and still going back to Modern Warfare 2 all over again with only fancier weapons and perks and new killing spree unlocks.
I was for one glad the removal of certain perks *cough* Commando *cough*. Some of the new ones are equally annoying. For example, Stalker: you strafe faster when aiming. Or even Steady Aim which allows you to aim faster after sprinting. This little additional added perks which are added onto the perk system makes it such different game that it just frustrates me.
The maps are just like Modern Warfare 2 and it feels equally frustrating. I love the Modern Warfare maps where you can hide out in some places and people can never find you. Gone all the days when sniping was so much easier because the potential of being backstab has increase threefold. I personally still enjoy the maps in Modern Warfare and the ability to customize matches then forced to be dictated by a new set of rules.
Now that all has been said and done, seeing everyone is talking about BF3 vs MW3. I find BF3 more interesting than MW3. I mean 64 players on a huge map? Heck yeah, I'll play that. Squad spawns? Yes please. MW3 multiplayer gives more of a quick shooter without much way to be a team player except the perks. So if you love VERY fast-paced games then MW3 is for you. But if you prefer team-work and huge maps, pure destruction go with BF3.
I mean you can't just beat this:
And on a random note, I find more immature players on MW3 than BF3.
