This really feels like the expansive, immersive world it’s meant to be. Rich textures, great character models, and fabulous scenery… from the Eiffel Tower to the rusted Somalian outposts, this is truly another world..

Gameplay:StarStarStarStar

The campaign is absolutely fabulous. It is rich, immersive, and completely envelops you into hours of gameplay. Co-op is as fun as the number of players engaged… and multiplayer, well… .for those long-time COD fans, multiplayer is as great as ever…. of course, the campaign shines too bright, while Co-op mode seems to dim… hmm…

Sound:StarStarStarStarStar

The ambiance and sound effects are spot-on. From the shrill of a Black Hawk to the steady rumble of machine gun fire, MW3 lacks nothing in how warfare sounds….the killer sound is probably the buzzing radio as it steadily calls out “Target sighted at 3’o’clock”

Lasting Appeal   StarStarStarStar

The campaign is mind-boggling… but it would have been nice if the folks at Infinity Ward had rolled up their sleeves and tackled the Co-op gameplay…the multiplayer is not too special…. as far as lasting appeal, it seems like the developers poured their heart and soul into the campaign, and left other things untouched.

Presentation StarStarStarStarStar

Menus are clear and sleek. Every mission begins with a dazzling ( but pleasant) briefing. Menus, maps, notes, and videos sprawl all over the screen, as the gamer is given the situation behind the mission he is about to play. The briefings are certainly non-intrusive and give the anxious gamer some eye-candy while he awaits the mission to load. In general, the game menu hierarchy is structured phenomenally well.

Those mission briefings are truly a big piece of the puzzle… they remind you why you did throw 60 bucks at a DVD disc….

MW3 Special Ops Mode: The Epic Title continues to be revealed

MW3 is following some familiar ground but breaking some barriers and introducing new concepts.Infinity Ward showed off some of the hottest footage and perhaps the most intriguing game mode of MW3- Special Ops Mode.

According to recent information delivered by InfinityWard, gamers will be able to earn money, and play several core functions they previously enjoyed in Zombies for BlackOps. In addition, there will be a Killstreak location where gamers can buy an actual killstreak, and dogs will be presumably be featured as they were in previous Zombie and normal modes of BlackOps.

Special Ops will feature multiplayer maps that can be used throughout the game mode. SpecialOps is being touted as MW3’s major core gameplay..SpecialOps will also be playable offline, solo, will support split-screen, and may even support gameplay using other live services.

Bottom line: As MW3’s main game component, its nice to know that the InfinityWard folks are focusing their efforts on SpecialOps and bringing to it much of the familiar gameplay that BlackOps and Zombie gamers demand.

MW3 First Impression at E3: AWESOME!!! Stunning!!!

      

There are simply no words to describe the awesome exclusive Xbox preview of CODMW3. The latest version of the Call of Duty game, MW3 is simply spectacular in every level and field possible.

The Specs:

The Xbox Live Conference at E3 started out with a premier of MW3. MW3 is simply so amazing that it made me gag there for hours ( OK, it was only a 10 min preview). Interestingly, the game will also be developed and produced by Sledgehammer Games along with the famed Infintiy Ward. Should ship to retailers November more or less of this year.

The Video ( No Official Video Uploaded as of Now: Updated as available)

This 10 minute trailer is more than enough to might you wanna to get this game at all costs. COD fans will go crazy!!! The video starts with exploration under a submarine… you can hear the water effects as you zoom through, the radio and control as they buzz out new objectives.. and the ambiance in general is nothing less than superb.

Then the submarine resurfaces and… a beautiful panorama is revealed: F-15 fighters, Tomahawk cruisers and Apache helicopters ( I’m guessing on those specs) are tearing down buildings, leveling cities, and bombing skyscrapers… all in the comfort of your living room. I gotta tell you… if you see this game in action, you will be stunned!!! Next up, the video shows you on a high- speed boating raft as you concentrate on your obejective to get to the safehouse, you can’t help gazing at the amazing panorama of destruction taking place all around you. The shooting controls look fluid, …so no problem for COD fans expecting awesome game controls. It is easy to switch weapons, and they are more realsitic than ever. In short MW3, is the Ultimate game …simply put, it leaves Black Ops in the dust and makes previous COD titles look like garbage.
