![Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II | Cross-Gen Bundle - Pre-purchase - Xbox [Digital Code]](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81mQ7xi9rOL._AC_UL140_SR140,140_.jpg)
I would like to start off by stating that I have played and own most of the Call of Duty games. For the 3 different modes of the game, read their respective sections below.
Campaign: (No Spoilers)
In my opinion, the campaign of MW3 was very good, but not as good as MW2 and BO. It has a decent storyline and loads of action, but some of the missions just weren't as fun and seemed like doing the same thing in a different place. The campaign of MW3 isn't too difficult and is about on par with MW2. Veteran is still pretty difficult, but there are no points which are brutally hard. I liked that Infinity Ward brought back some of my favorite characters from past games, and introduced lots of new ones as well. Like past games, there are multiple intel items to find and achievements regarding doing special tasks which aren't too difficult.
Multiplayer:
The multiplayer of this game is very fun, in my opinion. I agree that some of the maps are not as good as the others, but I don't think that all of them are terrible. Sometimes multiplayer can be very frustrating because of extremely overpowered weapons or bad losses, but not most of the time. There is a huge amount of weapons, attachments, and equipment that you can unlock. Many favorites have returned from previous games, and some new ones have been added. There is a new "Weapon Rank" system. Whenever you get a kill with a weapon, you get experience points for your main ranking system and the new Weapon Rank system. There are 31 progressive weapon ranks, and almost each new rank unlocks a new attachment or camo design for that weapon. Perks are special abilities that nyou choose for your player, and 3 are selected. There are many perks, including some that help you reload faster, sprint faster, or detect enemy equipment. There is also a "Pro" variant of each perk, which extends the ability of that perk (i.e. Scavenger-Collect ammo from each killed enemy, Scavenger Pro-Spawn with extra ammo) and is unlocked after completing challenges for that perk. There are 3 killstreak categories, Assault, Support, and Specialist. In Assault, it's the classic Killstreak system, get multiple kills in one life, reset when you die. It is mainly focused on getting kills on the enemy team. In Support, your killstreak doesn't reset when you die. It is mainly focused on helping out your team get kills. In Specialist, your streak resets when you die. After a specific amount of consecutive kills, your player receives an additional perk. At 7 kills, your player receives all of the avaliable perks. Deathstreaks are also in multiplayer, where if you die multiple times in a row without getting any kills, you receive a deathstreak, such as dropping a live grenade when you die, detonating C4, or increased bullet damage for one kill. A new system in Multiplayer is "Weapon Proficiencies". After ranking up a weapon, a player also unlocks proficiencies for that weapon, which are sort of like perks for the weapon, such as increased range or bullet penetration. There are 80 levels in multiplayer, and they normally take a while to progress through. Once you reach level 80, you can "Prestige". When you Prestige, you go back to being level 1 and lose all of your unlocked items. You also get a new Emblem, Title, and a Prestige Token. There are currently 10 Prestige levels, but 10 more will soon be added. Prestige Tokens are used to purchase items in the Prestige Shop, where you can get things such as an extra Custom Class or Double XP for 2 hours.
Spec Ops/Survival:
Spec Ops has returned from MW2. Spec Ops is a mode where you do special mini-missions usually related to the Campaign. You can either do it alone, or with a friend. You can earn up to 3 stars for each mission, depending on what difficulty you completed the mission on or the time it took for the mission. There are 20 missions, and all of them are pretty fun. I highly recommend doing them with a friend, especially on the higher difficulties. You alo rank up in Special Ops, which is a separate rank then in Multiplayer. There are 50 levels, and ranking up unlocks either more Special Ops missions or items in Survival. Survival mode is an extremely fun mode of Special Ops, and probably my favorite thing in MW3. It is similar to Zombies from BO and WaW, Firefight from Halo, or Horde from Gears of War. The maps in Survival mode that you can play on are the same ones in Multiplayer. The objective of Survival is to, well, surive as long as you can while fighting off endless waves of enemies, which progressively get harder. You start off with nothing but a pistol. For every kill you get, you get points that can be used to buy items from the Weapon, Equipment, or Air Support armories. Not all items are avaliable right away, but ranking up in Spec Ops unlocks new items. In the Weapon Armory, you can purchase guns and attachments for them. In the Equipment Armory, you can buy things that help you defend against the enemies, such as Sentry Guns or Riot Shields. In the Air Support Armory, you can buy things like Predator Missiles, Airdrop Markers, Perk Care Packages, and even friendly troops to assist you! You also start off with a Self-Revive and Body Armor. Self-Revives allow you, if downed, to kill an enemy to get back up. Body Armor lets you take 250 points of damage before you die. You can buy both of these from the Equipment Armory. When playing with a friend, if a player gets downed, the other player has one minute to revive him, or the game ends. The 20 Survival Maps have different difficulties, which are not selected by the player, but already put in. The difficulties are Easy, Normal, Hard, and Insane. The difficulties change not how much health the player has, but how quickly harder troops like Juggernauts and Attack Helicopters appear.
Overview:
Modern Warfare 3 is a very good game, and has a good campaign, great multiplayer, and very entertaining Spec Ops modes. I would definitely recommend this game to newcomers of the Call of Dty series and veterns alike. It may not be as good as the other games in the genre and series, but is definitely worth buying, especially if a lot of your friends have it too.

The case was in great quality, the book was still inside, and there was even a 2 day Xbox gold trial still in there. I also got my package 2 days early! I would highly recommend them for used games!
