Having played this over a decade ago and having just done a replay of the campaign and spec ops in 2023, MW3 ends up being the weakest instalment in the Modern Warfare trilogy, purely because the first entry has the novelty of being Modern Warfare and the second entry reached almost impossibly lofty heights; there are actually plenty of fun set piece moments to enjoy here but none of them go as hard as MW2 and I can’t really pinpoint how/why that feels the case. It’s still lusciously over the top but It’s definitely missing the kick-ass Hans Zimmer/Lorne Balfe score. Spec Ops is a welcome addition as always but the missions are essentially just campaign environments rolled out in reverse. Still, fun (and frustrating) with a buddy and worth your time. Also, for all that’s said about performance of games these days, the Modern Warfare titles always run a rock solid frame rate and play just as you’d expect them to, these things are really well made and hold up pretty nicely
