My opinion, I think that if the cod games got a new publisher n got the old devs back the cod games would be way different. I also kinda think that now that the mw series is over. that activision will be more open to new ideas n give the devs more freedom to develop the game they wanna make.
MW3 was lazily made but strangely addicting (as far a multiplayer goes). a 4hr campaign is ridiculously short for any type of game in this day an age. Especially for a AAA title. A lot doesn't really seem to changes just feels like a few tweaks. (even tho they claimed to have rebuilt the engine or something like that)
After playing this game for 1wk I have to say that it's a 7/10. Online is okay sans the bad spawning, cluttered maps, and occasional lag. Killstreak pkgs cool and it's great that shooting UAVs down can add to a killstreak reward since it's damn hard to stay alive because of bad spawning and campers. Campaign is just as cliche and epic as ever.
Overall shoulda been $40 and not full price.
And Steve since CC went live I have to say you are the greatest talking head of all time next to Andross.
I think that CoD is lazy/greedy game making. The fact that they basically re-release the same game with a few changes to the guns, perks, killstreaks, etc. is nothing new though (they do it every year and throw in map packs as well). If you want a more realistic, strategic game with bigger maps & sniping (not quickscoping), play BF3. If you want runNgun madness play CoD. Personally, I like both. I think its like comparing SSFIV to MvC3. Also fuck EA Origins. Both are fun (operative word) games
After more time playing, I got over the presentation issues and have enjoyed MW3 a lot. Its more of the same, but polished. It comes down to accepting that if you're in it for the long haul, you're shelling out $60, tough noogies :(
@idcdammit thats true, but capcom isnt saying that sfIV is another game to ssfIV or AE, its still the same game but with balance changes and new characers... mw3 is a whole other title, yet its pretty much the same game
@mightymarcin yeah i get that its the sequel to mw2, but the engine from CoD 4 was different to the mw2 engine... why not try to improve? most people agree that cod 4 was the best, im not saying infinity ward are bad developers, obviously because they have the best selling game ever ,but good devs try to improve their game, not just re-release it with a new mission in campaign mode
@Nach0Love They're all the same engine (all using a heavily modified quake 3 engine I think, worrying) and they have improved upon MW3. Maybe my perspective is a little distorted as I hadn't played a CoD game in a while so I feel MW3 to be somewhat fresh. But after the backlash MW3 got, treyarch's new CoD will hopefully suffer and the one after will too; then will be a new imagining of CoD (hopefully)
It's still a fun, solid arcade shooter and I've gotten my £40/$60 worth.
@Nach0Love But, the big problem I have with CoD is its impact on the industry, its bought new customers to the medium but has made many developers clone their game after CoD (R.I.P Crysis 2).
It's a lucrative franchise, business seems to come first rather than creativity (this has a positive effect though because indie games have picked up and are going strong). one thing that has annoyed me with Capcom is how they lie to make money (AE (£10 for a balance patch!) and Ultimate Marvel)
@MarciusSim That's pretty much what I was thinking. I've been just absolutely baffled at how people have been willing to buy essentially the same game, what, 4 times now? For $60 each time. It's like people really don't realize that they're paying huge sums of money for very small updates. Even Capcom has the decency to at least lower the price each time they update Street Fighter 4.
You stated it yourself that you only played 30 mins. I thought the same as you in my first 30 mins but now i'm like 15 hours in the multiplayer, beat the campaign and played a lot of spec ops and i love it. Sure it's a lot like mw2 but it has WAAAAAY more content than mw2 so I'm happy with my purchase.
honestly, when i played it that first day, i thought it had alot more "fun" going for it in terms of the multiplayer. It seemed like it was off to a good start...I've been a fan since cod4, so it obviously wasn't that amazing. But even now, just 4 days later...I don't see myself playing it much. Hell, i'm contemplating exchanging it for BF3. MW3 just seems like such a useless game...I dont see myself ever being able to get better at it, because its already sooo easy to play. period.
Friend of mine bought, we did the standard "play a mission, then pass the controller". We had fun going through the story but I wouldn't play this on my own.

I had the same reaction when I put in MW3 on my PS3. It's literally a $60 expansion pack. I've picked up BF 3 and I can say that I'm way more satisfied with that game than MW3.
I can't stand how cheap some of the deaths are in MW3, and also, I already played this game! I prestige 6 times back in MW2, so I'm feeling a bit ripped off that its literally the same game. I guess I shouldn't have expected anything different. Oh on top of that, they can't even get COD elite to work properly.

@ThePowerBeard zelda ripoff, gay super hero nerd metroid ripoff turned gta ripoff, kiddie jump around game, and sequel to the worst game of all time. next!
It has everything to do with the Infinity Ward/Activision drama. After West and Zampella were canned, half of the entire development moved on with them. IW was so horribly fucked they had to hire another developer, Sledgehammer, to assist with the multiplayer. The final product is MW2.5 with shitty black ops-looking maps.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
This is not the channel to be posting this stuff, and the purpose of game reviews and forums is so you don't have to make a video asking this kind of question.
BF3 deff WAYYYYYY BETTER!!! the only thing i really was interested in MW3 was the Single player campaign just to see how it all ended and i loved the single player btw very DUMB n Flashy and was exactly what i expected so that was fun but yea i think we should have gotten MW3 before Black OPs simply because it the EXACT SAME experience as MW2 only a tad bit more balanced in terms of online. To me its more of an expansion pack than anything else BF3 won the FPS war.
i feel slightly ripped off but i've already put in a good 10-15 and im sure ill hit at least 40 hours played before i trade it in. Still even though im getting my moneys worth in play time i can't shake the feeling i should have saved the cash for skyrim.
Nintendo, Capcom, Sony etc make the same games over and over again and you only hear complaints about Modern Warfare for some reason. If you dont like the damn game then don't buy it! Killing people with guns in first person view can only be but so innovative, at the end of the day you're just killing people.
Modern Warfare is the iPhone of video games. same can be said about their fans. they'll shell out any amount of money just to be a part of the hype....
Yeah, it's MW2.5. Still, that's what people want, really: franchise familiarity. People buy into franchises for more of the same. If it was changed drastically, people would hate it.
I hate to sound like a broken record here but CoD is the new Madden thanks to Bobby Kotick. They have a niche cut out for them based on a simple, easy to use old engine. And, they have the 60fps thing going for them. Madden has that same advantage (along with the monopoly). Its all on Kotick and his desire to keep the revenue up and innovation (costs too much money) down. Simple greed economics. But that is another issue that is affecting the entire country instead of just us. Reality man.
I would honestly say the game is great I love it. I mean yea there are alot of features from MW2 that made it's way back in but even I say MW2 would have been the best COD to date if they just fixed what was broken. All in all it's a great game don't judge so quickly bro.
I actually got the game free through a special circumstance (nothing illegal, mind you), and I'd honestly say that if I spent $60 on it, I'd be pretty disappointed with the game. Of course, I've only spent like 2 hours on the game but I agree with your points in that it's tweaked version of MW2. Should've been $40.
BF3 sucks right now and so many things need to be patched. it HOPEFULLY will be a beast of a game, but so much is bad right now. on PC version at least. MW3 is what i expected it to be. and it is pretty fun out the box. the slight changes in MP are cool and welcome. i played like 5 campaign missions and they are pretty cool too. so yeah. theres that.
As soon as I heard they had the same engine I knew from jump street you're paying 60 bucks for new skins and a map pack. I didn't even waste my money on it. C.o.D. is a watered down battlefield imo, only mode I ever liked was war, and they got rid of it. Duty is nothing but hiding, tubes, and choke points.
@TobiasMakesNoise Actually that's incorrect. They've added something new in each game except for mw3. cod 4 was simply amazing and was far ahead of anything else at the time, cod5 added zombies, mw2 added spec ops, and black ops added theater mode. I don't see anything new in mw3.
@ConvectionGaming The zombies, spec ops, and theater mode ARE nothing but new paint, minor features that could have, with half an hour's work in a development kit, be implemented into the former game.
This coming from a guy who's going to pay another 40$ for a "new coat of paint", "a few extra characters", and some "balances"? And it's been only 8 months since it's predecessor? UMvC3 = MW3 Same shit different toilet.
@PainB4Glory well they changed the gameplay mechanics for marvel quite A LOT haha, x-factor in mid air? new combos, new cast members, that sounds like a new game with a similar name to me.
@PainB4Glory UMvC3, or as you call it: "new coat of paint", won't come at the price of a brand new game...I'd rather pay for a new coat of paint and get only that as opposed to paying for a brand new room and only getting a new coat of paint.
@CannedJamOtaku I can agree but we're only taking a $20 price difference. Which comes with a whole new campaign that "fans" love, a new integrated spec-ops mode (it's Zombies honestly) and the multiplayer everyone has come to love. $60/year is bogus I agree but they have a recipe that works and money whore CEO that knows how to exploit it. Map packs anyone? And now a new yearly membership of "Elite" for $50. I think the lesson here should be "Consumer Responsibility".
CoD at this point is just extorting money out of the several hundred million players. Slap Call of Duty on a game and thats an instant seller at this point.
After four games I came to the realization that I'm not going to be playing as much Call of Duty as I thought I would. UMvC3 is looking like my go to game until AE 2012. At the moment I'd rather play Battlefield 3 over MW3, and that's saying alot considering I'm not really into Battlefield.
Eh, I find the game's weapon balance to be completely strange. Assault Rifles dominate in every situation and map, there is no need to use Shotguns/LMG's or SMG's which bothers me cause SMG's have always been my favorite. Other than that, the series is the new Madden. Activision will milk it until it dies like Guitar Hero, the current video game industry is really sad in comparison to it's golden years.
I know I'm gonna catch a lot of flak for this but, here goes. Is it a new game? No. Think of the jump from Cod4 to MW2 as the move from SF4 to SS4 (this has nothing to do about which one is better or worse) and how they changed some of the core mechanics to try and make it a more enjoyable game. Then you have MW3 and AE, where instead of changing the mechanics they just tweaked the setup to try and make the game more enjoyable without alienating too many people.
@TheLostSuperman exactly this is the case for a lot of big fps franchises right now bf3,cod,gow, halo they change some mechanics graphics and add new guns campaign etc but they are essentially the same and people just now realize this about mw3 and start getting pissed and hating on the game as if they didn't already know what it was going to be like. Consumers today are just oblivious or dumb 13 year olds
To relate it to fighting games... imagine Capcom took SSF4AE v2012 and titled and marketed it as "Street Fighter 5"... what would your gut reaction be? That's how I felt the moment I played MW3 :) - Steve
@crosscountertv they did it on purpose, when you have a formula that works, why change it? but personally I've never played call of duty, not interested. Whats great about fighting games is that when you play a fighting game numbered 2, 3, or 4, they all have different cast members or different game-play mechanics that make each game unique.
@crosscountertv You picked the wrong franchise to compare it to another franchise that rips people off. You must have not have heard of SSF4 or ULTIMATE MvC3. What are those? Oh yea, updates and balance changes all at the cost of your wallet! Fucking moron.
I don't play COD much but I think they added about as much as they could. If BF games came out as fast as COD games I'm sure people would complain as much.
So I can understand where everyone is coming from saying that MW3 seems like MW2.5 but what did the people really want? They added maps, guns, killstreaks, customization, perks, modes, re-balancing and new campaign. I don't think there is really much more you could add to a fps game. Maybe because COD games come out so fast that people feel them blend together faster. $60 is too much but they know people would buy it no matter what so why not go for full price?
@PapaV2 Agreed, and I understand the strategy on Activision's part - it'll sell no matter what, based on the name alone, can't argue with success. And I appreciate they polished what worked with MW1+2, but the notion of CoD becoming Madden in its yearly franchise-ness w/ minor changes for $60 a pop makes me :( If the gameplay remained solid I was hoping the graphics/presentation would've gotten a bit of an upgrade at least, considering the effort in similar series like BF3, Crysis 2, GoW3, etc.
MW3-Redone MW2 with a few new things added. (Felt like i got owned by activision for paying for a game that is basically the same as the last, but with the bug fixes that could have just been done with patches) I Honestly regret the purchase.
BF3-New experience with a big learning curve if you have only played COD games (such as bullet drop and vehicles). For me personally i prefer BF3 just because it doesn't feel like a remake i feel like i am getting my moneys worth.
couldnt have been said better MW3 is truly just a new paint layer with alternate skins and names for identical acting weapons and gameplay. Now im not a BF fanboy i actually didnt like BF:BC all that much i do love BF3 though and i also loved black ops both nearly equal in fun and balance which is a good thing. MW series is all riddled with imbalances and extremely watered down gameplay hint hint thats why you hear so many kids in every lobby you play in either bitching or yelling or both.
Personally im enjoying the online for mw3. J like hectic gameplay :). I cant play battlefield unless its on PC. Something about 14 mile maps and 12-18 people just seems dumb and ridiculous. However the PC versions can support 32-32 if im not mistaken, which is far better. So anyways my opinion is: console? Mw3. PC? Battlefield all day baby :)
Console is 12 v 12, PC is 16 v 16 on every game type except Conquest. On PC Conquest is 32 v 32 and Console is 12 v 12 but the maps are much smaller then on PC. So the game is actually really good no matter what system you have.
To everyone who gets spawn killed: What's the first thing you do when you spawn? Sprint. Do you have godlike reflexes and have quick aim after sprint? Probably not. Problem solved. If you wanna "run and gun" which by the way, is pretty mindless and I don't see how fun it is not getting better at a game, then go run and gun and don't complain when someone can spawn without sprinting. Just sayin'.
instead of making crazy assumptions that Battlefield 3 has won based on playing a Demo, just focus on building your street fighter scene/community. I know this channel's main focus is to build the community, but making claims like this will turn off some viewers especially cod fans. I mean if you reach out to the cod community here on youtube, the FGC would grow so fast, I mean the most famous cod commentators get from 200k-500k views on their vids, just saying
@FPSForcefulEntry For one, the fighting game community has been seen to be trying to get the players to try out a new genre, whether it be DoTA style or FPS. Being apart of the FGC doesn't mean that's all we need to focus on. Sometimes its not always about fighting games.
@LoryuoFSE I understand what you're saying, but from your logic, then Steve is kind of in the wrong in this video, cuz he makes blind assumptions and hasn't given MW3 a chance, if the fgc is open to trying new things, then he should make an effort to play MW3 fully and not just say things after a couple hours of playing it.
@FPSForcefulEntry Definitely true, I admit I only played about half an hour at the time I shot this. I meant it as a first impressions video - my first impression was that it looked and smelled a lot like MW2. Still a fan of the series and not giving up on it, definitely going to play more, but was just curious what others' first impressions were :)
@FPSForcefulEntry I agree with that. I think it's because of the fact that BF3 is very different from how CoD plays. Maybe he just find the other game's playstyle to suit him better than the whole lone wolf.
CoD has changed a lot as a series over the past 6 years. CoD 4 added perks and weapon customization, MW2 added custom killstreaks and changed up how attachments were unlocked. I feel like MW3 is the logical conclusion of all the changes. This is as streamlined a CoD experience you could hope for. I don't feel like you have to be a fanboy to enjoy it. The changes are a lot more subtle than from CoD 2 - CoD4 etc. but they enhance the experience in a great way.
Not only did they not change the formula, they didn't even change the paint. Most of the art, models, sounds, ui, textures, and architecture is reused from cod4 and mw2.
it's pretty much identical to MW2 with a few tweaks here and there. i much preferred MW2 to black ops but i honestly have a hard time believing they can actually call this a few game. at best it's a DLC for MW2 lol. maps are way to much close quarter though. hardly any open spaces. i get that they want high paced action but getting in a gunfight every 5 sec is to much
BF3 might be a better game but it's not my style at all. half the time theres more tanks than actual players running around.
It starts off kind of jarring. The more time I've spent and tried the new game types, as well as level up weapons, you start to see just how much different and BETTER this game is from MW2 and Blops. I stopped MW2 after 3 months and Blops for a month, but I am HOOKED on MW3.
The maps are nothing to write home about, but the flow of the game is fantastic once you start to level up and see what the game offers. The more time you put in, the more pleased you will be.
Campaign was good! but knowing it's only 5 hours long kills it for me.
Multi player felt like the last 4 COD games, and im so bored of that. I really felt like i was playing a Black Ops/MW2 Add on. Just awful:( With 30minutes i was bored.
This is the 1st COD game i haven't bought since they have been released on Xbox!
Battlefield 3 on the other hand? Campaign was OK! But multi player is Absolutely INSANE!!!! New Graphics Engine and big Ass maps with Jets and shit FTW
Agreed, Steve, I also paid 60 bucks for a map pack. I've learned my lesson though. Unless they at least get a new engine I'm NEVER buying a CoD game ever again.
Can't say much about MW3, but i've bought BF3. I thought the beta really sucked, but the released game is tons of fun. A loooot better then the beta, and even if you play with 1 or 2 friends it feels like you really make a difference eventhough it's a 64p map. Cheers!
My opinion, I think that if the cod games got a new publisher n got the old devs back the cod games would be way different. I also kinda think that now that the mw series is over. that activision will be more open to new ideas n give the devs more freedom to develop the game they wanna make.

Can't say how it is on xbox, but it's a mediocre game on PC.
As far as FPS goes on PC, there's a golden rule the CoD franchise keeps breaking.
I.e. Field of View so freakin' low you're blind as a bat.
Put your hands out to either side of your head, and note when you can see them.
Then note that YOUR vision is not a freakin' 60 degree cone.
Yes sure, make the FoV 60 a default setting or whatever, but at least you can change it in Battlefield 3.

It has everything to do with the Infinity Ward/Activision drama. After West and Zampella were canned, half of the entire development moved on with them. IW was so horribly fucked they had to hire another developer, Sledgehammer, to assist with the multiplayer. The final product is MW2.5 with shitty black ops-looking maps.

BF3 deff WAYYYYYY BETTER!!! the only thing i really was interested in MW3 was the Single player campaign just to see how it all ended and i loved the single player btw very DUMB n Flashy and was exactly what i expected so that was fun but yea i think we should have gotten MW3 before Black OPs simply because it the EXACT SAME experience as MW2 only a tad bit more balanced in terms of online. To me its more of an expansion pack than anything else BF3 won the FPS war.

I hate to sound like a broken record here but CoD is the new Madden thanks to Bobby Kotick. They have a niche cut out for them based on a simple, easy to use old engine. And, they have the 60fps thing going for them. Madden has that same advantage (along with the monopoly). Its all on Kotick and his desire to keep the revenue up and innovation (costs too much money) down. Simple greed economics. But that is another issue that is affecting the entire country instead of just us. Reality man.

I actually got the game free through a special circumstance (nothing illegal, mind you), and I'd honestly say that if I spent $60 on it, I'd be pretty disappointed with the game.

@TobiasMakesNoise Actually that's incorrect. They've added something new in each game except for mw3. cod 4 was simply amazing and was far ahead of anything else at the time, cod5 added zombies, mw2 added spec ops, and black ops added theater mode. I don't see anything new in mw3.

@CannedJamOtaku I can agree but we're only taking a $20 price difference.

Map packs anyone? And now a new yearly membership of "Elite" for $50. I think the lesson here should be "Consumer Responsibility".

Eh, I find the game's weapon balance to be completely strange.

Other than that, the series is the new Madden. Activision will milk it until it dies like Guitar Hero, the current video game industry is really sad in comparison to it's golden years.

BlassKain17 4 months ago
I know I'm gonna catch a lot of flak for this but, here goes. Is it a new game? No. Think of the jump from Cod4 to MW2 as the move from SF4 to SS4 (this has nothing to do about which one is better or worse) and how they changed some of the core mechanics to try and make it a more enjoyable game. Then you have MW3 and AE, where instead of changing the mechanics they just tweaked the setup to try and make the game more enjoyable without alienating too many people.

@TheLostSuperman exactly this is the case for a lot of big fps franchises right now bf3,cod,gow, halo they change some mechanics graphics and add new guns campaign etc but they are essentially the same and people just now realize this about mw3 and start getting pissed and hating on the game as if they didn't already know what it was going to be like.

crosscountertv 4 months ago 33
@crosscountertv they did it on purpose, when you have a formula that works, why change it? but personally I've never played call of duty, not interested. Whats great about fighting games is that when you play a fighting game numbered 2, 3, or 4, they all have different cast members or different game-play mechanics that make each game unique.

@crosscountertv You picked the wrong franchise to compare it to another franchise that rips people off. You must have not have heard of SSF4 or ULTIMATE MvC3. What are those? Oh yea, updates and balance changes all at the cost of your wallet! Fucking moron.

PapaV2 4 months ago
So I can understand where everyone is coming from saying that MW3 seems like MW2.5 but what did the people really want? They added maps, guns, killstreaks, customization, perks, modes, re-balancing and new campaign. I don't think there is really much more you could add to a fps game. Maybe because COD games come out so fast that people feel them blend together faster. $60 is too much but they know people would buy it no matter what so why not go for full price?
PapaV2 4 months ago 4
@PapaV2 Agreed, and I understand the strategy on Activision's part - it'll sell no matter what, based on the name alone, can't argue with success. And I appreciate they polished what worked with MW1+2, but the notion of CoD becoming Madden in its yearly franchise-ness w/ minor changes for $60 a pop makes me :( If the gameplay remained solid I was hoping the graphics/presentation would've gotten a bit of an upgrade at least, considering the effort in similar series like BF3, Crysis 2, GoW3, etc.

Here's my quick review
MW3-Redone MW2 with a few new things added. (Felt like i got owned by activision for paying for a game that is basically the same as the last, but with the bug fixes that could have just been done with patches) I Honestly regret the purchase.
BF3-New experience with a big learning curve if you have only played COD games (such as bullet drop and vehicles). For me personally i prefer BF3 just because it doesn't feel like a remake i feel like i am getting my moneys worth.

couldnt have been said better MW3 is truly just a new paint layer with alternate skins and names for identical acting weapons and gameplay. Now im not a BF fanboy i actually didnt like BF:BC all that much i do love BF3 though and i also loved black ops both nearly equal in fun and balance which is a good thing. MW series is all riddled with imbalances and extremely watered down gameplay hint hint thats why you hear so many kids in every lobby you play in either bitching or yelling or both.
CANABALISTIC999 4 months ago
Personally im enjoying the online for mw3. J like hectic gameplay :). I cant play battlefield unless its on PC. Something about 14 mile maps and 12-18 people just seems dumb and ridiculous. However the PC versions can support 32-32 if im not mistaken, which is far better. So anyways my opinion is: console? Mw3. PC? Battlefield all day baby :)
Nitechorus 4 months ago
Console is 12 v 12, PC is 16 v 16 on every game type except Conquest. On PC Conquest is 32 v 32 and Console is 12 v 12 but the maps are much smaller then on PC. So the game is actually really good no matter what system you have.

instead of making crazy assumptions that Battlefield 3 has won based on playing a Demo, just focus on building your street fighter scene/community.

LoryuoFSE 4 months ago
@LoryuoFSE I understand what you're saying, but from your logic, then Steve is kind of in the wrong in this video, cuz he makes blind assumptions and hasn't given MW3 a chance, if the fgc is open to trying new things, then he should make an effort to play MW3 fully and not just say things after a couple hours of playing it.
FPSForcefulEntry 4 months ago
@FPSForcefulEntry Definitely true, I admit I only played about half an hour at the time I shot this. I meant it as a first impressions video - my first impression was that it looked and smelled a lot like MW2. Still a fan of the series and not giving up on it, definitely going to play more, but was just curious what others' first impressions were :)
crosscountertv 4 months ago
@FPSForcefulEntry I agree with that. I think it's because of the fact that BF3 is very different from how CoD plays. Maybe he just find the other game's playstyle to suit him better than the whole lone wolf.
LoryuoFSE 4 months ago
CoD has changed a lot as a series over the past 6 years. CoD 4 added perks and weapon customization, MW2 added custom killstreaks and changed up how attachments were unlocked. I feel like MW3 is the logical conclusion of all the changes. This is as streamlined a CoD experience you could hope for. I don't feel like you have to be a fanboy to enjoy it. The changes are a lot more subtle than from CoD 2 - CoD4 etc. but they enhance the experience in a great way.

Not only did they not change the formula, they didn't even change the paint. Most of the art, models, sounds, ui, textures, and architecture is reused from cod4 and mw2.
xpetexnastyx 4 months ago
it's pretty much identical to MW2 with a few tweaks here and there. i much preferred MW2 to black ops but i honestly have a hard time believing they can actually call this a few game. at best it's a DLC for MW2 lol. maps are way to much close quarter though. hardly any open spaces. i get that they want high paced action but getting in a gunfight every 5 sec is to much
BF3 might be a better game but it's not my style at all. half the time theres more tanks than actual players running around.
menimeskcor 4 months ago
It starts off kind of jarring. The more time I've spent and tried the new game types, as well as level up weapons, you start to see just how much different and BETTER this game is from MW2 and Blops. I stopped MW2 after 3 months and Blops for a month, but I am HOOKED on MW3.
The maps are nothing to write home about, but the flow of the game is fantastic once you start to level up and see what the game offers. The more time you put in, the more pleased you will be.
BF3 is great too on PC. :)
