Additionally, all discs at NexWave Games are carefully inspected and assessed for quality. When discs arrive, we do not accept any that are so badly damaged that they are unlikely to work. We only accept discs with light scratches at most. Discs with scratches are then treated in our professional disc repair machine. By warming the disc and polishing it with soft brushes, these machines can remove a very thin layer from the disc. This removes the layer containing surface scratches and improves the disc’s readability. This ensures the disc works properly, even on consoles with ageing lasers that have difficulty reading games!

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 for Xbox 360
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 for Xbox 360 continues directly from the events of Modern Warfare 2. As the conflict spreads, you follow different soldiers through battles in places including New York, Paris and Berlin. Captain Price and his allies remain involved in the hunt for Makarov. This is a military first-person shooter whose fixed story missions change location and situation quickly. The consequences of earlier events give the assignments a clear connection even when the perspective changes.
In combat, you alternate aiming, short movements and using grenades. Teammates often point out the next route, while events determine when you defend a position or push through. Vehicle sequences and special assignments interrupt the sections on foot. You can select completed missions again and try another difficulty. Repeating them mainly asks you to recognise enemy positions better and move through dangerous areas more safely; it does not change the fixed storyline.
Outside the solo campaign, Special Ops provides separate missions and Survival. In Survival, you hold off increasingly strong waves and spend earned resources on weapons and support. You can play alone or locally with two players on a split screen, each using their own controller. The main campaign itself is not a cooperative story. This disc contains the original 2011 Xbox 360 game. Later downloadable packs, old subscriptions and the identically named 2023 game are not automatically included.
Region and language
Our Xbox 360 games are PAL editions and come with a Dutch or English box, unless stated otherwise. By default, you receive the version for the European market. We note it in the product details if the region is different or the box is in another language. In almost all cases, the game is playable at least in English, and often in the other five common European languages too.
Manual
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 for Xbox 360 includes the manual unless the product title states otherwise. If the booklet is missing, the title says “No Manual”. This lets you see before ordering whether the game comes with a manual.
The manuals included with our games usually contain at least English and often around six European languages. The exact languages vary by edition, so Dutch is not always included. The booklet explains the controls and the main rules. You can use it to check how to control the game, which actions are available and how its different features work.
The history of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
Infinity Ward and Sledgehammer Games developed Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, which Activision released for Xbox 360 in 2011. The game concluded the original storyline that began with Call of Duty 4. Where the second entry had shown the consequences of a larger conflict, the third spread the war farther across different world cities. Returning characters and the hunt for Makarov gave those scattered events a shared direction.
Special Ops returned as a separate component alongside the campaign. The team added Survival, with continuing enemy waves and purchases to prepare for the next attack. This shifted the question from completing a single assignment to holding a position for as long as possible. Because the challenges sit outside the main campaign, players could practise together without changing the story's fixed scenes and perspective changes. Local cooperative play retained its own place within that structure.
Competitive multiplayer and the Call of Duty Elite service also received considerable attention at launch. Those former services are part of the game's history and are not promised here as current product features. The Modern Warfare 3 name was used again in 2023 for a different game within the rebooted series. This Xbox 360 version belongs to 2011 and the original trilogy. Together, its campaign, Special Ops missions and Survival show how the final entry concluded and expanded the earlier structure.
Similar games for Xbox 360
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare introduces the storyline that Modern Warfare 3 concludes on Xbox 360. The aiming and fixed campaign structure feel familiar, but the first game keeps the conflict smaller in scale. Modern Warfare 3 spreads the war across more world cities and adds separate Special Ops missions and Survival. Alongside the solo story, this provides extra challenges that you can also tackle locally with a second player.
Call of Duty: World at War also brings fierce firefights and changing soldiers' perspectives to Xbox 360. Its fighting in Europe and the Pacific uses historical weapons and supports local cooperation within parts of the campaign. Modern Warfare 3 keeps its international main story single-player. Shared challenges are found in Special Ops and Survival, where you buy resources to withstand further waves of modern enemies.
Call of Duty: Black Ops uses an interrogation and unreliable memories to connect covert operations on Xbox 360. Modern Warfare 3 follows the continuing war and hunt for Makarov, without choices that produce an alternative campaign ending. Both have a solo story and separate local challenges. Black Ops lets you survive Zombies; Modern Warfare 3 uses Special Ops and Survival with armed human enemies, purchases and support between attacks.
Medal of Honor from 2010 follows soldiers on operations in Afghanistan on Xbox 360. Its first-person combat, radio instructions and cooperation with computer-controlled teammates connect with Call of Duty. The campaign keeps its focus on one contemporary theatre of war. This Call of Duty switches more noticeably between different fronts, locations or perspectives, giving the sequence of missions a different rhythm.
Battlefield: Bad Company sends a group of undisciplined soldiers after gold on Xbox 360. Both games combine shooting with scenes in which you follow a military squad. Bad Company gives more room to vehicles, wider combat areas and destroying buildings. This Call of Duty more often guides you along a predetermined route through tightly timed events and changing objectives.
