The begining of the Hamburg mission is simply jaw dropping

. Just finished the campaign and it all tied up nicely. Two years now to see what magic they can weave but more than likely the next one from Infinity Ward will be on the new Xbox
Ive said it before and ill say it again. even losing most of there important staff Infinity Ward have shamed Treyarch again. Playing MW3 and comparing it to Black Ops just shows how much they are dragging on IW tails. Cack Ops 2 next year, i think not.

Having tremendous fun on this, the scale of it is just amazing! Just finished the subway section and thought it was brilliant, I heard its not a long single player game but will enjoy it while it lasts!

Completed it last night, well worth it. Took me two days (on and off!)
Online mode is better this year. LOVE the Support Killstreaks, suits my style of play (kill two, die once) to the ground

TotalBiscuit's WTF of this apparently gave him some severe headaches and nausea. It was mostly to do with the horrible FoV on PC. I must say after watching his WTF Is of it fullscreen on my TV I felt quite ill too.
Has anyone else got the game on PC and could comment, or have they found themselves feeling a little queasy while playing on console? I want to try this game, but not if it's likely to make me hurl:

as someone who felt queasy playing bad company and the bf3 demo i can say that the ps3 version of mw3 had no effect on me,i even played it for about 3hours straight at one point.

Got this on launch day, but didnt get around to playing it properly until yesterday. Finished it in 4 hours 47 minutes on Regular, with about 18/19 pieces of intel. Glad I got to see how it all ended, and was quite satisfied. Also had a go of Survival, and got up to round 13, where it all went a bit t!ts up

Had a bash at Spec Ops as well, and tried the one where you have to kidnap the Russian President on Veteran. Bit of a mistake that, as I gave up after about 8 attempts at only getting about 1/3 of the way through the plane and dying at the same place. Still, a solid game, I think, and will give the multiplayer a bash on Sunday.

Started playing the online multiplayer yesterday and I must say it improved a lot. Some very interesting point streaks including the Advance UAV, Strafe Runs and Assault Drone and it does take a while to get use to those new maps due to it's scale and structure. Plus it just a beginning for me and anyone who already started playing it.

Cool. That's good to know.
BTW: Seen this and DF3 in CeX already. Some people are crazy!

I'm starting to dislike the online ever so slightly, its really nicely done but it feels like everybody is an expert at this game and I'm playing terribly. I physically can't do killstreaks so im stuck with the pointstreak packages (where I only like 3 or 4 of the options) and the one level I really like NEVER gets circulated on the bloody playlists

I'm getting sick of the 3 maps I keep getting!

I noticed other players have already entered the first prestige and must have put lot of hours into the online multiplayer. Plus it's likely that they knew the those maps really well which gave them slight advantage of one another. If there's one thing that can be annoying is that random players STILL adapt to those cheap tactics by camping in the same spot. Either that or they can't be bothered to put creativity with their style of play.

Are you just playing one game type? That can usually be a problem to why you are getting the same maps.
The support package does include offensive kill streaks such as the remote sentry and stealth bomber. It's easy to get both of these twice in the same match if you are playing something like domination.
Also, has anyone come across a Shipment/Rust/Nuketown style small map yet? I love playing those and haven't seen one.
