What we said about Modern Warfare 3
Modern Warfare 3’s campaign is a disappointing rehash of familiar tropes and themes. While the gunplay is still solid and the graphics and sound are top-notch, the story feels uninspired and lacks depth. The attempts at open combat missions fall flat, and the overall experience feels like a retread of previous titles.
Score: 4
While Modern Warfare 3 offers some positive aspects, such as its polished visuals and engaging gameplay, the shortcomings of its campaign and unoriginal story make it a below-average entry in the Call of Duty franchise.
Going Pro
Modern Warfare 3 shines when played at high refresh rates, particularly in online multiplayer. The 120Hz mode offered on all three consoles provides a significant performance boost and enhances the overall responsiveness of the game.
Performance Modes
- 60Hz Mode: This mode provides a locked 60fps experience on Xbox Series X and PS5, with full 4K resolution and identical settings. The Xbox Series S offers a close visual match but targets a 1440p resolution.
- 120Hz Mode: While not a dramatic increase over the 60fps mode, the 120Hz mode offers a smoother and more responsive gameplay experience. Xbox Series X slightly outperforms PS5 in this mode, but both deliver impressive frame rates averaging in the 100fps range.
Variable Refresh Rate (VRR)
VRR is highly recommended, especially on Xbox Series S, as it helps mitigate tearing issues that can occur in both performance modes. VRR effectively eliminates tearing, providing a smoother and more visually pleasing experience.
Xbox Series X vs. PS5
Both Xbox Series X and PS5 offer excellent performance in Modern Warfare 3, particularly with the 120Hz mode enabled. However, the Xbox Series X slightly outperforms the PS5 in the 120Hz mode, offering a smoother and more responsive experience overall.
