Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3

John "Soap" MacTavish and John Price are back in the final installment of the three-part series after they survived the schemes of Lt. General Shepherd in Modern Warfare 2. They are now outlaws but that doesn't stop them from pursuing and putting an end to Vladimir Makarov's plans.

The Campaign mode is divided into 3 acts. The player gets to play through different characters, mainly as Yuri, Soap's and Price's new ally against Makarov. The gameplay is the same in previous games. The player has to fulfill several objectives to get to the checkpoint and complete each campaign.

Special Operations also features the same gameplay although the missions have more variety this time. The ranking system is a new feature where the player earns experience points and unlocks items and missions. There are two types of missions in Spec Ops; survival and mission mode. Both have 16 missions each which can be played co-op or single player.

Although some people complain about the repetitive gameplay I love this game for its familiarity (the characters, and yes, the gameplay as well). The difficulty level isn't high if you've played the previous games and it's not as emotional as some scenes in MW2. It's more like a wrap up of the 3-part story but when you're familiar with the characters, it's hard not to feel sad. I loved the ending. Simple yet poignant. I enjoyed Spec Ops as well because of the new ranking system. If you think the mission mode was too easy, spec ops is more challenging.
