Simon CardyScore: 4 out of 10
Underbaked, rehashed, and cobbled together from multiplayer parts, Modern Warfare 3’s single-player campaign is everything a Call of Duty story mode shouldn’t be.

IGN
Stella ChungScore: 6 out of 10Read full review on IGNCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 reheats and reserves the same multiplayer from Modern Warfare 2 with some extra maps and tweaks as garnishes. This smooth combat remains gaming comfort food, but slower unlock progression makes it harder to get excited about.

Phil HornshawScore: 6 out of 10Read full review on IGNOperation Deadlock mixes Zombies with Warzone's DMZ mode, and while the combination can create some heart-stopping battles, you have to be willing to grind to see them.
PC Gamer
Morgan ParkScore: 47 out of 100Read full review on PC GamerCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is a disappointing anniversary for a series that really should take a break.
Game Informer
Michael LeriScore: 5 out of 10Read full review on Game InformerZombies feels more like a limited-time Warzone event cobbled together from existing ideas and assets and that sentiment permeates throughout MWIII. Each pillar is an inferior patchwork of past ideas from its stunted campaign to its multiplayer that, while the strongest mode, is comprised of systems lifted wholesale from MWII with maps from 2009’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. This year’s COD is a threadbare expansion masquerading as a sequel and an embarrassing way to mark the series’ 20th anniversary.
