If you are a fan of split-screen gaming, then this is one of the best experiences you can have, with a friend, on consoles. Special ops returns in its most complete and polished form in MW3. Sure textures and lighting sometimes show their age, but quite frankly, it's all forgiveable when you see just how much is going on, on-screen. Without it, all those stunning set pieces and lightning quick multiplayer matches just wouldn't play the same. We know for a fact that 60fps has remained paramount to the design behind COD. Why? Because it manages to pack so much onto the screen while never ever fluctuating from the golden 60fps. Battlefield however, isn't quite as impressive, despite looking gorgeous on a PC, CoD on consoles wins. The latter quite frankly destroys MW3 graphically. There are however, several new contenders for that crown, namely Battlefield 3 and Crysis 2. It was a game that for a good while easily retained the looks crown on consoles. The game stops being an interactive experience at all, and more like a piece from a Michael Bay film which you move forward by shooting at 'things'. The only issue with this insanely intense explosion-fest is that on the easier settings, you can become entirely desensitised to it.

How many more vehicles, enemies, explosions or landscapes can Infinity Ward possibly pack in to outdo it. Every level acts like a game of one-upmanship to the last.

The game is full of moments where you find yourself saying "They aren't going to do that are they? Oh wait they have". From the very first level of MW3's singeplayer, which we won't spoil for you, it is an absolutely water-tight polished experience that is relentless up to the last moment. This is a game that likes explosions, so much so, in fact, that you become so acclimatised to them that when you die, the silence feels like your ears just don't work any more. Modern Warfare 3 however has defeated us. It is a tradition that began with the first Modern Warfare and one that, up until now, has remained. Every year when a new Call of Duty title comes out, we prepare the friends and family for the worst, lock ourselves away and play through the single player in one sitting.

We like to play games at Pocket-lint, our bloated bellies and puffy eyes tell tales of hours spent on our Xbox.

Multiplayer still slightly too hard for beginners.At times feels like it is playing it safe.
