"Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3" doesn't bring spark gamers wish to see

After coming out with a very successful game, Infinity Ward has once again produced an amazing game, "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3." Starting exactly where "Modern Warfare 2" left off, "Modern Warfare 3" goes to India where the two main characters Soap, who is on the verge of dying, and Captain Price that are trying to uncover and kill a Russian terrorist named Vladimir Makarov and both protagonist are blacklisted as terrorists in the United States.

The story not only takes place in India, it gives players an idea of what is happening during this World War 3 scenario all over the world from New York, London, Paris, Berlin, Russia, Africa, and the Himalayas. You play as other squads all over the world, mainly because the game wants to gives video gamers an idea of what's happening, instead of being focused about Soap and Price.

Instead of just being focused of the campaign itself, there are many other modes in Modern Warfare 3. Special Ops being one of them puts you on any map of your choosing and fight for your live as waves of enemies attack. Being placed in the map there are benefits along the way that give players crates   filled with weapons, equipment, perks, and air support. Then there's multiplayer, where gamers from all over the world compete to level up in ranks to get better perks, weapons, and equipment. The improved graphics in this game can compare to "Gears of War 3" as the level of detail is just stupendous.

However, the overall package really did not bring the spark that gamers wanted to really see. The gameplay is the same in the Modern Warfare games, nothing is added in the engine itself. It feels like a continual play of Modern Warfare 2.5. The game also comes with a subscription fee when gamers join Call of Duty Elite, which basically is a "perk" for those that purchase it. It gives gamers the ability to make clans, meet new people, look at maps in multiplayer to see what hotspots players choose to go to, see yours or other players' video gameplay and post it up on YouTube. The two things that players will get frustrated about is fact that there's a $60 fee for the subscription, and players that don't pay for the subscription won't get the extra value that the hardcore players paid for.

Players who love the Modern Warfare series will still find a satisfying ending to the game. It's just the fact that the creators could have done something with the gameplay and Call Of Duty Elite. The gameplay is the same, they could have added something with melee combat with some quick time events. The Call of Duty Elite subscription could of added more than what they put, they could of added a deal that if gamers pay for the fee, players can get a discount on the next map packs.
