Please read, if you're thinking about buying it. It is a great game if you can forget that:

-Out of the 8-10 maps that I've played, I had to leave 2/3s of them because of wallhackers.
-Reporting a player for hacking through Steam does absolutely nothing.
-If you're just starting, prepare to get rofl-stomped because you have shitty weapons when everyone else has great weapons.
-On a single map, it disconnected everybody 3 times, to provide us a better experience. Yes, the game actually pauses, it switches servers or something, and you start from where it paused. And this can happen many times in a single round.
-You cannot lean sideways, at least, I couldn't.
-There are always radars going on, so stealth is useless.
-Invisible walls on maps, for example, you cannot jump on top of a barrel, even though it obviously is with very low height.
-You cannot kick a player nor do anything admin related, as there is no admin on any server.
-There are helicopters, air strikes, nuclear strikes, and other stuff almost always going on, trying to play tactically is useless (add on top of this the radar).

I only played 15 minutes of it just to own 12 yr olds, And i did just that with the standard equipment.

It literately is MW2.5, If you look what Treyarch did with black ops, At least they actually done something with the game instead of just adding more options and reskins.

In other words... Spend $60 on GOG's site :3

I feel that 'Review' is being a little too kind to your post. 'Rant' perhaps?

What did you think of the SP aspect of the game?

Nope. I'm not angry, still playing the game and having fun. But those are the things that I've noticed are worse compared to Modern Warfare 1. Sorry, I'm using the free weekend on Steam, but people say that the SP is bad and it lasts 4-5 hours.


More do add:

-No AF setting, at all.
-If you don't play the game on Extra quality, if looks freaking terrible.

Ah ok. Worth the 14GB for the free play til Sunday?

hell, you can finish the game in that time easily.

...wait...

14 GB?

wow. Maybe I've just been spoiled by old games...but that seems like a lot.

I dunno, I kinda like MechWarrior 3. ; )

Play in hardcore mode (or find a server that is set up as such) and that won't be an issue. All those annoying gadgets and gizmos go away. I was never big on any of that kill-streak stuff since the very first MW.

My Steam installer said it was only 8GB. Still not worth the bandwidth for me.

Yet another CoD that sucks...I miss when CoD 1 was the only game in the series....

Havent downloaded it yet, but Disk Usage on Steam says 14048MB for MW3...Thats why im balking at downloading ..just for the MP..may not be worth it

That's so weird. Mine's saying exactly 6738MB. Huh. Wonder why that is.

Would be nice if old COD 1 and 2 were on GOG :P

My last map...

Connected and started playing. After 5 seconds, the game stops, and now a migration to another server (this is all automatically) happens (which usually takes around 10-15 seconds). Game resumes, and after 30-45 seconds another migration happens. Game resumes, again, and then a bastard with both speed and wall hacks enters. Shit happens. I quit, and delete the game.

Cheaters on at least half the maps I've played, and yet they say MW3 is so amazing. To hell with it It is an okay game, but not worth 60 EUR... maybe $15, since most of the maps are copied from previous COD games, with some modifications here and there. Many things have been removed since MW1 (which I think was an amazing game, one of the best shooters).
