Easiest explanation... MW2 great campaign with the betrayal of shepard and all. Multiplayer was good to entertain those for 2 years.

Black ops.. loved the campaign.. but everyone hates the game because it was set in the cold war.. if it was set in WW2 everyone would say "not another WW2 game".. if it was set in modern times everyone would say.. "oh their trying to copy modern warfare"... personally i think black ops is the best COD yet they chose to use a completley and unused setting.. unlike infinity ward who have no imagination i mean just look MW3 isn't MW3 its MW2.5 same guns and perks and most of the assault rifles look the same.. the campaign was retarted.. going to africa was completley pointless in the end those levels were just there it make up time.

Infinity Ward made the original Call of Duty. Remember that. NOT Treyarch.

The reason people hate Modern Warfare 3 is because it's popular, and they think that insulting something that's popular makes them seem edgy and cool in front of the friends that they don't have. The same applies to all popular games that weren't published by Nintendo, but first-person shooters tend to receive the brunt of the internet hipster wrath.
A fine example is with Halo. I am often shunned because I love the Halo franchise (More so than Modern Warfare, which I like but not am heavily attached to.)

I get the usual Bullshit that only little children play it, I haven't seen one kid play Halo: Reach since Call of Duty: Black Ops came out.

Also people only hate it because its outselling their favorite obscure indie game or something along those lines.

Personally I think it's because it's essentially become Madden. A game that's made for people who don't even know what PAX or E3 is that is basically remade every year with minor formula changes. Don't get me wrong I'm assuming it's a great game if the reviews are to be believed, I'm just saying that what it represents is why people hate it. Also maybe because it's totally given the bird to PC gamers by saying "we may not be able to give the PC version elite support." Also I don't think people playing BF3 really care anymore about the whole battlelog thing, since we all needed to go through Steam already. Oh, and Bobby Kotic that bastard.

Blah this game sucks bad. I will start with the Campaign. This game gives CAG better known as DELTA a bad name. The AI is horrible in the campaign, I have operated with CAG in the real world and the AI gives no justice as to portraying movement through buildings, room clearing, hallways, moving down roads, ect. I would say easily that this is the worst game at portraying combat maneuver, Rainbow six did a hell of a better job. I love how in the campaign you will be left in a room full of bad guys that are flanking you and coming around your six while your "AI" counterparts just sit there and let them eat you up. Moving on to the multiplayer, the multiplayer offers an array of weapon systems too bad that for the most part they all do about the same amount of damage. The MP5 kills just as fast as the 6.8 spc laughable. The hit marks are way off as far as getting hit goes and then dying. A lot of the times i get one shotted then watch the replay and see that I got shot several times and then died, I am assuming this is due to the nerds hacking but not sure. Not my internet I have high-speed so it must be hacks, servers should do a better job for keeping hackers OUT! Sniper gameplay is as always horrible in and throughout the COD series. Maps are too small for sniping imo and sniping in general is too difficult. In the REAL WORLD it is not that damn hard when setup in a hide to hold the cross hairs on a target, but in this game no matter if your in the standing or in the prone the cross hairs are all over the damn place. The hardest part of sniping in the Real world is judging wind, if I looked through my scope like they portray a sniper does in the game it would be impossible for me to get a mil dot readout for UKD determination. To change this all they would have to do is make the scope steady when your guy is in the prone, standing it is going to be hard to hold and in RL you will have to do some sort of figure 8 but in the prone it should have been steady not figure 8 all over the place..... Oh and quick-scope or whatever the "kids" are calling it now days is retarded, I have yet to meet a sniper that can run around with a long gun, then stop on a dime, acquire a target with a high-powered scope in less than .5 seconds and shoot to kill total BS. Depending on range and shot placement in most situations It does not take over 1 shot to totally incapacitate and kill someone with anything over a .308, 7.62x54(dragunov) and definitely not a .50 caliber, it is ridiculous and very frustrating when you shoot another player with a .50 and they just are able to run away, never would happen. Lets not forget the nerds who play all the time that can take out a sniper from across the board with just iron sights and short burst from an m4, very funny. Yes just like all the others this game sucks a big one. I know its just a game but maybe if they would just for once get some input from real guys on the ground as opposed to just doing whatever they would have made a better game/franchise. Im not saying make it so realistic that its boring I am just saying make the game a little more on par with facts and history, as far as the combat goes.

I hate MW3 fanboys and the community most of all; that and I've never liked any COD game, ever. I can't really say if it truly is a copy paste being that I've never played MW2 or Black ops (I only ever played MW1 with a friend) so if it is then that's pathetic but if it's noticeably really different then that's good. But hey, it can't be a coincidence that so many are complaining about it being a copy paste (expensive MW2 DLC, MW2.5, etc). So I'm thinking that maybe there might be a bit of copy paste but don't know for sure and I truly don't care to know because COD does not interest me, nor does BF3 before you label me as a BF3 fanboy. I don't give a rat's ass about FPS mp games and really think that these millions of people who bought MW3 should really not limited themselves to such a lackluster game.

I liked MW3, and the other two Modern Warfares as well. But then, I actually legitimately and unironically enjoy Michael Bay movies. Not all the time, mind you... but sometimes I just want a movie where I can turn my brain off for two hours and watch shit explode while I gorge myself on popcorn. I can fully acknowledge that they're generally not "good" movies (well, except The Rock... that was actually pretty decent)... but it's still a guilty pleasure of mine.

So while the campaign may be short, I don't really feel like I was ripped off. It took me about 8 hours to get through the single player on Veteran difficulty. I paid $60 for the game. If an average Michael Bay movie is about two hours, it would cost me roughly $80 to see four of them in theaters (assuming I throw in a small drink and small popcorn for each). So for mindless, explosion-filled entertainment, I actually got a reasonable deal. Especially since the multiplayer will add even more hours onto that whenever I happen to be bored enough to play it.

I fully admit I don't understand the fanboyism and anti-fanboyism surrounding the game, though. The way I see it, live and let live. If you like it, cool. Play it, enjoy it, have a good time. If you don't like it, cool. Play something else, enjoy that instead, and have a good time.

First of all, do you acknowledge how wrong you just were there? Treyarch only makes CoDs to make Activision more money. IW hates Treyarch.

I only played Blops for 2 or 3 hours, but from what I can remember: shitty campy maps, OP AK74, and every other weapon feeling like shit.

It's quite obvious why people hate it, they have a different taste in games, or they are just haters. You know the things you like about it? Those are probably the exact same things I hate about it. Opinions, how do they work?

I beat the campaign in 2 and a half hours, that's why.
Either you're exaggerating, or you can manipulate time.
I bet it in three and a half hours, it's realy short but that's in game time it;s on the main menu

Oh boy. This post. AGAIN. If I had a nickel.....*rolls eyes and storms off*

Anyways..... I beat the campaign because I borrow my friends xbox to speed through them. Not worth 60 bucks, I'm sorry. Its fun for a while, I like the horde modes, but its just a cash grab! Doesn't anyone see this? Yes you can have fun with it but we can strive for more interesting and unique games!

Also the new lighting effect make the piss poor textures even more noticeable. Black Ops slid by, but this game looks pretty fucking ugly at some moments. Also the multiplayer unlock system is a lot more restrictive than Black Ops.

Another thing I thought Cod 4 did well was realism, but Modern Warfare 2 quickly blew that out of the water. You really think a couple of russians can storm the white house? Or in MW3, you honestly think that RUSSIA can park like, 1000 boats ON THE COAST OF NEW YORK without...idk....the US Navy blowing them the fuck up? My point is that I think the creators of the sequels played on the aspects of the game that would sell the most copies, not what made the original truly great.

biggest lols to the Metacritic bombers who all write "I haven't even bought MW3 and i think it's the worst game of all time"
Are people actually doing that!? HA! Morons!

Well, I for one don't know why people hate Modern Warfare 3. But I'm sure I'll find out when Yahtzee reviews it, and I'll just copy-paste everything he says about it into my own brain, so I don't need to play it to have an opinion on it.

I wouldnt say I hate MW3 or the MW series but I definately dislike it. I have to admit that I havnt played MW3 and I dont intend to. For me it began with MW2 when we got a campaign that lasted slightly longer then the time it takes to make a cup of tea and that made no sense. However the part that really sealed the deal was that MW2 made Russian and US intelligence operatives/military personel out to be incompetant to drive its story and Im sorry but I have a huge problem with that

Then there was the multiplayer that was just bad with overpowered kill streaks and all sorts of nonsense going on. This began my dislike of the MW series. Then came black ops which addressed very few of my concerns. I only played black ops for maybe an hour in multiplayer and through the first mission in the campaign but I determined that the MW series was no longer for me and I was fine with that. I had bad company 2 for my multiplayer military shooter

Now comes MW3 and while I havnt played it Ive watched some videos of it and I see some problematic things. First off, I think the games just ugly and you can tell that consoles are stressing pretty hard to pump out enough graphic fidelity to make the game work as is. My second problem is the criminally small Field of view which cant be anymore then 65 degrees. For me, this narrow FOV makes me feel sick if I watch it for more then 20 minutes at a time. In RL you would have to be wearing goggles to get that narrow of an FoV but the fact that it makes me feel ill while watching it is just a deal breaker. Third there are just Kill streaks that have no place in the game once again. The games supposed to be about shooting people, not hiding in a corner till you can activate your juggernaught suit.

If you want a slow paced run and gun style shooter then I guess it works but its not for me. If you like it, enjoy it. Im all for people playing what they enjoy
