All it takes is the will, of a single man

Modern Warfare 3 has to be the most enjoyable, yet at the same time infuriating game i have ever played. After a very shaky start where i lamented why i had paid 90 quid for a game i was playing awfully. Then suddenly, something clicked, after a month of almost never going positive in any game, i was able to actually get decent kills in a game, with much less deaths. I picked up the L118A sniper rifle, and hit some great shots and streaks. But then came the quickscopers, the Striker fags and the type 95 whores. Robert Bowling has stated that the Striker, Type 95 and the FMG9 akimbos have been nerfed, when as soon as you run into a single person using one of them, you get instantly decimated.

I resent the type 95, so much so that if i have no ammo and the only thing on the floor to pick up is a type 95, i will rather die even if im on a huge streak, and have done many times. I recently decided to start using the M16A4, widely accepted as the worst assault rifle in MW3, just to prove the point, and its actually very underestimated, it just takes skill to use as it doesnt always get one bursts. I also use any other shotgun than the striker, the USAS is my personal favourite.

The other problem with MW3, the spawns. There is a glitch where two enemies that die then spawn in have a chance of spawning literally on each others toes, and this isnt a rare occurrence, it happens all the time. I have actuslly seen someone get killed, spawn basically on his corpse, and dies instantly again, cause the dude hasnt let go of the trigger. There is also the problem of just crap spawns in general.

Other than those things it is an otherwise masterpiece of Multiplayer brilliance, and the campaign is tied together and finished off very well, and survival puts the game in a class of its own, it certainly isnt zombies, but its definitely a good gametype, and a nice addition to a brilliant game. Infinity Ward, Treyarch and Sledgehammer games, i salute you.
