That's all you need to do to play multiplayer in 2025.
Valve should really force Activision to either fix the hacker issue or make them set the price of the game to free

Words cannot explain how freaking cool the original 2007-2011 Modern Warfare campaign is. Makes you feel like an absolute badass doing some badass work. Video games aren't supposed to be a chore, they're supposed to be a playable movie. Infinity Ward & Treyarch had it right, back then. So good.

Played this a lot on the Xbox 360 only for the gem that was the survival mode. The PC port is functional, but nothing noteworthy. This game came out during the era where PC ports were an afterthought.
After finishing the bombastic, popcorn campaign, MW3 has a multiplayer mode that is basically filled with hackers and excessive lag and a spec ops mode that allows for 2 player coop in missions + a survival mode.
Honestly, the only mode that got me coming back was the survival mode, a wave-based horde mode which was a derivative of other horde modes from games like Black Ops zombies, Halo firefight, Gears horde, etc. For what it is, it's pretty damn fun. 16 built in maps with varying difficulties. You get access to three armories that provide you weapons, perks, explosives, AI squads for aid, sentry turrets, airstrikes, etc. Waves past 25 start becoming more challenging since enemies start becoming bullet sponges and juggernauts and attack choppers start spawning more often.
For those small number of players who avidly enjoyed the survival mode, check out Trepang2. It's a FEAR inspired shooter that has a horde mode that feels like a true successor to MW3's survival mode. Faster and gory combat, better enemy AI, and more maps that are smaller and tighter. MW2019's survival was a huge letdown, especially for solo players.
This game is only worth if you wanna relive the nostalgic 7th gen console era and if you can find this game on sale with all its DLC. The game still being close to full price more than a decade later is criminal, but that's Activision for you.

MW3's concluded an excellent trilogy (which is more than I can say for most trilogies). Campaign may not be as perfect as MW2, but the battle felt chaotic and I still had a lot of fun playing it.

Modern Warfare 3 doesn't get nearly the credit it deserves. While everyone was busy glorifying MW2, MW3 quietly delivered one of the most complete, intense, and emotionally satisfying campaigns in the series. The pacing, the stakes, and the characters — especially Soap and Price — were unforgettable.
The Spec Ops missions and Survival Mode added serious replay value, and even though the multiplayer didn’t revolutionize the formula, it refined it. Fast, fluid, and without the gimmicks — just solid, boots-on-the-ground gameplay.
It might not be the most talked-about Call of Duty, but to me, it’s one of the best. A fitting conclusion to the trilogy, and a game I keep coming back to.
Underrated. Undervalued. Unforgettable.

Top Tier COD
Rating: 9/10
It's story begin where MW2 ends. Hence, playing in order is non negotiable to understand the plot. All 3 games in the original Modern Warfare series are fantastic.
If you want story recap, watch this for clear cut understanding. Spoilers obviously.
MP seems dead, but can't confirm for western server.
Just like other CODs, its another overpriced old game even on sale. Don't pay so much, game is worth your time tho ;)
