Feed Your Console Review: Modern Warfare 3

FYC says

Another year and another installment of the ever popular Call of Duty franchise – Modern Warfare 3, which aptly takes place during World War III. In customary fashion to our policies here at Feed Your Console, we will do our best to NOT divulge any major spoilers as we want you to experience it the way the game was meant to be enjoyed.

It's hard to rate a game down if it copies the previous game in the series that got high marks. You're playing the same game so technically, it should get the same score.

[NealCaffrey]

Really give it a rest already, every call of duty article you keep commenting on and saying its the same game.

[Starbucks_Fan]

Your mother was a hamster!

[LilDeja93]

Lmao

[Laxman]

'Technically', no it shouldnt if its the same game, becuase that would mean its 4 or 5 years old, and wouldnt hold up to modern standards.

[Hufandpuf]

COD 4 still holds up well. I'd play that over a lot of shooters that have came out recently.

[The_Kills]

Yet BF3 running 30 FPS is up to todays standards? Lol.. L2Rate games downies.

[Laxman]

You know, I actually played through that today, and it made me realise most games still dont look as good as it, and its what, 4 years old now? Pretty amazing stuff.

[WANNAGETHIGH]

@Hufandpuf if ur BF3 is so amazing don't u Think u will b online playing instead of trolling every Cod article?

[Gazondaily]

Please. I know you didn't just talk about trolling. Hopefully, going by your logic (or lackthereof), you won't be posting on here when COD comes out.

Good score but I'm waiting to see what my mates say about this. I have the day off so might get this on release day if the multiplayer is enjoyable.

[humbleopinion]

Hufandpuf, you mean just like Starcraft 2?

[Hufandpuf]

not counting the fact that there are 3 separate games for SC2. The terran, Zerg, and protoss which are all getting a separate campaign and units coupled with improvements, but is till called SC2 and not SC(insert a number)

Also consider that SC1 was made in the 98 so why tear a national Esport away from what made it a sport.

[Xenial]

Review is meh.

[Lord_Stark]

By the time the review embargo against the major gaming media is lifted, the game would have already sold millions at midnight launches. Review scores wont have mattered.

[kassler]

"Campaign is 3,5-4 hours". They are getting shorter.

[gamernova]

They added kill confirmed so some of the campaign had to be shortened.

[ambientFLIER]

And how long is BF3's campaign again?

[ginsunuva]

Both campaigns suck we never said anything about bf3.

[Shackdaddy836]

No one said anything about BF3...

[megaworm25]

crap review

[Krakn3Dfx]

Game looks about like what you'd expect from the shell of a company that Infinity Ward is and Sledgehammer, who hasn't put out anything before as a developer.

[Tachyon_Nova]

I get the feeling the reviewer hasn't even played the game, barely any actual thoughts on the game in there.

[Crazay]

I could always drop a shitload of spoilers if that's what you'd prefer?

[Tachyon_Nova]

No just some opinion on what the game makes you feel. Its just very brief. You list this as a con of MW3, so you must accept this as a con for the review, surely.

[Crazay]

I thought the game was an incredibly good conclusion to the story. Some fall, some survive just like in war. Let's leave you with this little tidbit and you can decide for yourself if I played the title or not when you finally do the campaign.

I'm not a professional writer nor have I ever claimed to be. A long drawn out review wasn't worth it especially since I've not had the chance to get online that much due to time constraints between this, Uncharted 3 and Skyrim I just couldn't get to everything and my life. Apologies if you didn't like the length of the review but it basically boils down to lack of time.

Just remember as the final mission begins.

"I'm the Juggernaut bitch"

[Laxman]

Nice defense. As a reviewer myself, ive been subject to people laying some overly unnecessary claims like I didnt even play the game too, along with the good old "paid off" one and I know how annoying it can be.

[kennyboy]

i bet about 10 of you here are battlefield fans

[gamernova]

Lmao CoD fan here but I agree with you. Bubbles for you.

[cyborg6971]

Get a room noobs.

[damnyouretall]

9 is good. i only want it for the single player and that seems a lil short. sucks the price never really drops in a years time, then there's a new one around that time anyways. wtf ever i will have to pass indefinetly

[CanadianTurtle]

I really don't think 9 is a fair score. Sure graphics shouldn't matter as much, but it DOES! If you think about it, they're making you pay full price for a game with a graphical engine from 2 years ago. I'd expect something better from this, especially due to the fact that 3 development teams are making this game.

[Crazay]

The thing about what you say is that yes it's an older engine but it still works for the game. There were still moments that had me slack-jawed. Just look at the NYC Level. Incredible. The Middle East with a Sand Storm barreling down on the city - Both frightening and beautiful at the same time.

How many other titles are using older engines? Noone seems to bitch about those if the game looks good. Has the CoD franchise set the bar soooo high that each iteration needs to be a complete overhaul of the graphics engine and gameplay mechanics?

Please - the heart and soul of the title is the gameplay that they've provided that has won over critics and gamers alike around the world. The fact that they don;t try to make too many changes to each version is actually kind of refreshing in my opinion. Makes the game a quick pick up and go without the need to relearn things.

[CanadianTurtle]

No, most games out there actually have their graphics updated at the very least, even if its made on the same engine. Most games still have an updated engine. But not this game.

I'm positive that they can tweak their engine while keeping the 60 frames per second gameplay, I'm positive that its possible. They're just not doing it.

[Bastion17]

Look. BF3 is already widely accepted as a cutting edge, and greatly crafted game. Reviewers have already explicitly said this. Plz stop complaining that MW3 gets good scores too. If the game you think is superior gets a good score, then what the hell's the point of badgering its rival? Cmon.
