So let's talk about something thats been on everyone's minds for the past week and that is:
You got that right, this week's Big Gun game is CoD: MW3.
Modern Warfare 3 came out this past Tuesday, or 12:00 AM for you hardcore gamers like myself, and it's been the subject of mixed reviews. Let's get this off with my personal account. Modern Warfare is easily my favorite branch of the CoD franchise. To me, the plot was amazing. Nothing get's better than a good ol' fashioned battle between the Russians and good old Amuurica! The graphics in this game are just visually stunning. And seeing as I'm a girl, Soap (R.I.P my sweet prince) wasn't too bad to look at either. So back on track, MW3 starts off exactly where MW2 leaves off. You're transporting a very injured Soap to a location that Nikolai knows about. Price is still on the trail of Makarov and he's picked a new friend, Yuri, a man who "hates Makarov more than I do". The best part of MW3 was that they brought in all the elements that I loved from MW2, the traveling to different parts of the world, bringing in national landmarks, the lovable characters, everything. (Although, the scene where the little girl gets blown up is a little much.) Regardless, I think it was well worth my money, but then again, I'm very biased and still very ticked off that they killed Ghost off in MW2 and now I'm even more pissed that they killed off the love of my video game life, John McTavish, aka Soap.
Moving on to the non-biased opinion, this game ultimately had it's flaws. First off, did anyone think that #3 was really short? I got through it in a day and a half and it really seemed a lot shorter than #2. With the two amazing companies, Activision and Infinity Ward hating each other, I feel like they tried to get through it as fast as they possibly could like when you have to work with someone you hate at school on a project and you rush through and it doesn't turn out as good as it could. Which I don't understand considering Treyarch and Activision liked each other, but BlackOps still sucked. (Too soon? Oh, get over it, BlackOps was terrible)
Another issue with MW3 was that it was a repeat of MW2. I can see how you would think that, but what more can you really do? Considering they launched a World War, I thought they could have done so much more. And they did have similar missions, like starting out underwater (Mission in France vs the oil rig in MW2). Even one of the online maps is almost identical to one in MW2. Overall, that is a letdown, but the ending, everyone has to agree, is amazing and I feel is one of the redeeming qualities of the cons here.

In my opinion, this game gets a 5 out of 5, but with an un biased point of view this game gets a:
so true.. about everything.. except the prince part
