Call of Duty: Elite is an online multiplayer oriented service launched simultaneously with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. The service offers both free and subscription based levels of access and is dedicated to the game franchise, featuring lifetime statistics across multiple games, social-networking options, competitions, a mobile app. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is the eighth main Call of Duty game, and the fifth developed by Infinity Ward. It's the sequel to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

Modern Warfare 3 marks the final chapter of this Call of Duty series, bringing an engaging single-player campaign filled with nonstop action and a polished multiplayer experience. ProsPolished campaign: Modern Warfare 3 holds nothing back as a mind-numbing, blockbuster, single-player experience. The game places you in the shoes of several protagonist soldiers from the previous two games and takes you around the world, chasing terrorists in the middle of an all-out war. Modern Warfare 3 may not have the most advanced game engine, but it excels at demonstrating destruction of cities, intense firefights, and uncomfortable, cinematic situations.Satisfying multiplayer: Despite the mom-insulting, dirty-mouthed teens that occasionally plague the online multiplayer world, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 satisfies. It maintains the tried-and-true formula of incremental achievements, weapons upgrades, and hectic combat mechanics that have defined the series. In addition to competitive multiplayer death matches, Modern Warfare 3 also adds enhancements to Spec Ops and Survival modes to diversify its multiplayer options.

There's so much to the multiplayer experience that it could potentially exist as its own standalone product; it's no wonder both modes were developed independently. ConsFormulaic: Depending on whether you're a newcomer or a seasoned veteran, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 can come off as either extremely exciting or as a predictable experience. While Modern Warfare 3 hits all the marks of a standard shooter, those who are familiar with the series may find few striking changes.

Modern Warfare 3 is the same great first-person shooter, but it's been more or less the same for some time. It's only a matter of time before seasoned players will find the mechanics dated, recycled, and unfulfilling. Bottom LineThe game follows a standard recipe for success.

But for many players, playing what's arguably the same game for three years straight will start to feel stale. As such, Modern Warfare 3's greatest strength is also its greatest weakness. Its reception will ultimately depend on whether you're new to the series or coming back for one last encore.

(Online Interactions Not Rated by the ESRB) The Games on Demand version supports English. Modern Warfare® is back. The best-selling first person action series of all-time returns with the epic sequel to multiple 'Game of the Year' award winner, 'Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare 2.' In the world’s darkest hour, are you willing to do what is necessary? Prepare yourself for a cinematic thrill-ride as only Call of Duty can deliver.

Co-Op play has evolved with all-new Spec-Ops missions and leaderboards, as well as Survival Mode, an action-packed combat progression unlike any other.

Saluting Modern Warfare® 3’s Season of Content, the fourth and final DLC collection deploys with five all-new Multiplayer Maps. Surrounded by mountains, “Gulch” sends combatants into a forgotten mining town with only mine shafts and equipment sheds for cover. The Jersey coast awaits in “Boardwalk,” where fun in the sun means facing enemies on the beach. Players must earn their sea legs on “Off shore” and “Decommission,” where deadly oceanic oilrigs and a maze of rotting ocean liners provide the perfect setting for shoreline-based combat. Rounding out the collection is a trip to New Orleans’ war-torn French Quarter, where “Parish” pits players against one another amidst the city’s rubble. With its third DLC Collection, Modern Warfare® 3 drops a combat-heavy care package of Special Ops Chaos mode, 4 new Special Ops missions, and 3 FACE OFF maps for the ultimate trifecta in solo and co-op gameplay.

High-altitude Special Ops challenges put tactical skills to the test, with players navigating armed drones above a Russian destroyer and evading RPGs from the roof of a helicopter-swarmed hotel. Upping the ante further, FACE OFF firefights pit players head-to-head on a six-lane stretch of desert highway, at an abandoned crossroads near a New York overpass, and near the path of a violent tornado. A whole new way to play Call of Duty®, Special Ops Chaos mode delivers the ultimate in arcade mayhem. Experience truly heart-pounding and adrenaline-fueled action while competing for high scores in Resistance, Village, Underground and Dome.

Chain kills together against a never-ending onslaught of enemies to increase your combo multiplier and earn performance enhancing perks. Choose your route through each map to optimize weapon pickups, attack, and escape options. Play solo, split screen or online with a friend to take out as many enemies as possible before they take you down or the clock hits zero.

Modern Warfare® 3’s second “Collection” deploys with 3 Multiplayer/Survival Mode Maps, 2 Special Ops Missions, and 2 all-new “Face Off” maps. Totally new to the franchise, these super-concentrated hot spots distill all the fury of Multiplayer into a whole new breed of close combat.

Glory Road is a phenomenal novel about the Texas Western team who prevailed to a national championship. Don Haskins was the coach of this Texas Western team. His arrival came in 1961 where they had two NCAA tournament runs and an NIT run in their years leading up to the 1965-1966 season. Praise for Glory Road: “Brims with family, second chances, and new horizons.” —Lisa Wingate, New York Times bestselling author of Before We Were Yours “Rich colorful characters capturing my heart, combined with a story that kept me up till the wee hours, Glory Road is a perfect read. Lauren Denton has done it again!”. Glory Road is Heinleins homage to Edgar Rice Burroughs: a tale of an American solider seduced by a fair princess into taking on all manner of alien and fantastical foes. Included, of course, are many dissertations on whats wrong with America, and Earth in general, not the least of which is/are taxes. Heinlein's one true fantasy novel, Glory Road is as much fun today as when he wrote it after Stranger in a Strange Land. Heinlein proves himself as adept with sword and sorcery as with rockets and slide rules and the result is exciting, satirical, fast-paced, funny and tremendously readable - a favorite of all who have read it.
