    After purchasing MW3 a few months back, I can confidently say that I will never buy another game from the series.

    How I wish I could get that $30 I spent

    MW3 was fun, just when I pre-ordered it, I didn't think it was worth 60, 40 at tops. I really liked MW2, and MW3 fixed alot of issues of MW2 (people just killstreak camping), of course they introduce new SMGs with nearly no recoil. :|

    Sorry, but no. MW3 was no where near fun for me as I literally muted everyone with a microphone due to the multitude of prepubescent children screaming profanity during multi-player. I touched maybe 30% of the SP mode which was mediocre at best. Gun choice is limited and the overall environment and vibe of the game is not pleasant to put it nicely.

    Play ME3 MP with me instead :D Always looking for good PC players for some Platinum, failed on wave 11 so far. I'd like a full extraction. I see a lot of platinum successful on PS3 and 360, but not PC, but that's cause PC is a lot harder. Anyway, join Deagleson and I in ME3.

    Don't buy MW3 and get MW1 (COD4), that's the best CoD as of now

    And dude have you seen the price? $50 + all the DLC you have to purchase... for a crap 2 year old game!

    MW1 was really the only recent CoD with decent multiplayer.

    I paid the same for a boxed edition of half-life 2 (which came with CS:Source) when it was released... and steam lists mw3 RRP still at $100. Preposterous.

    IMO MW2 had the best SP campaign. The MP has been terrible for all iterations of MW/Blops.

    Agree. Dedicated server with 48 people running around is way more fun than a group of 10/12 people shooting each other.
