PROS
Superlative action, Silky smooth controls, Bountiful multiplayer and Special Ops extends its longevity
CONS
Pacing issues in campaign, Little connection to characters
VERDICT
It may not have beaten Skyrim to take first honours as the most played game of the year, but MW3 certainly holds its own with some of the best titles released this year. For action and first person shooter fans, it's a must-play.
