Modern Warfare 3 somehow has more personality, which is probably due to the fact that you are playing alongside memorable characters from Call of Duty 4 and Modern Warfare 2. The characters were forgettable and I can’t even remember the storyline looking back now. I struggled to shoot my way through Battlefield 3’s monotonous single player campaign. However, where the game does get it right is with its pacing and scripting. The gameplay feels forced and uninspired and enemies feel like animated mannequins. I’m not a big fan of arcade rail shooters, and that’s exactly what Modern Warfare 3 is. In certain ways, Battlefield 3 succeeds where Modern Warfare 3 fails, and to my surprise, Modern Warfare 3 succeeds where Battlefield 3 failed: the single player campaign. I initially wanted to avoid making comparisons to Battlefield 3 in this review, but given that they were released in close proximity to each other and share more than just fleeting similarity, I’m going to. Having said that, it has evolved it to a degree, which is probably the most we can hope for from a series with a development cycle of 2 years. Under the yoke of Activision, Infinity Ward in conjunction with Sledgehammer Games, have done nothing to revolutionize the franchise.

Having thoroughly explored Modern Warfare 3’s single player and multiplayer components, I can reveal that my suspicions going in were well founded.
