Modern Warfare 3 on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. In a year where the gap between the two consoles has become wafer-thin, has Infinity Ward managed to upgrade its core technology to produce a truly like-for-like experience on both machines? Let's find out, first by checking out the usual head-to-head comparison movie, backed up - as ever - by a comparison gallery that includes both consoles, plus the PC version running at 720p on the maximum quality level. Putting aside DLC exclusive windows and a perceivably higher level of multiplayer performance, the core technology itself just seems to run better on the Microsoft architecture: every metric we've run on COD titles from Modern Warfare onwards has produced a palpably higher performance level on Xbox 360.
While the Call of Duty games have enjoyed mammoth levels of success across both console platforms, the game has arguably found its home on Xbox 360. The latest chapter in the Modern Warfare saga may well be short on revolutionary new concepts and never-seen-before technology, but what Infinity Ward and co-developers Sledgehammer and Raven have delivered is a supremely enjoyable, highly polished package that offers a ton of value across its principle single-player, Spec Ops and multiplayer components. The biggest game of the year has finally arrived.
