Throughout my extensive experience with FPS games, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 has provided the most disappointing experience. The game, developed by Activision, has significant issues that make it a poor investment of both time and money. A pervasive cheating problem and an ineffective matchmaking system severely impair the gaming experience. Furthermore, the hit registration is questionable, as evidenced by kill cams showing hits that do not correspond to in-game results, such as being defeated by a player with a pistol despite landing multiple shots.
Activision's handling of these issues is lacking, as disconnections from the game can result in unfair penalties, such as bans for perceived game abandonment. This gives the impression that players are being penalized for the developers’ shortcomings. Additionally, frequent updates fail to deliver meaningful improvements, leading to a decline in player engagement. Given these factors, I strongly advise against investing in this game and recommend considering other gaming options.
