After Call of Duty: Black Ops was released in November 2010, I was excited for Infinity Ward and Activision to release another Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (MW) title. With the game being released the same month in 2011, I was worried that IW would rush to get it done and just sell the games with the idea that people would buy them because of the title. I hate it when I’m right about these kinds of predictions, but this time I was wrong. Despite small flaws, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is an enjoyable game that gives my Call of Duty fix a boost.
