With regard to the reviews. The changes to the way the campaign is played out are fantastic and really promotes multiple playthroughs. Can't quite comment on Zombies but the Multiplayer is just more CoD, maps are either hit or miss like every other CoD. The customization to the guns and your custom classes are very nice this time through and scorestreaks promote doing the actual objectives instead of camping, unless of course you're playing TDM.
I guess it's either franchise or genre exhaustion. Saw a few critics claiming military shooters have run their course, but considering the heavy changes they did to the campaign and their ability to manage to keep MP mildly fresh is impressive. If MW4 next year is just a rehash of MW3 but gets better reviews, I'll put on my tinfoil hat and proclaim that critics just love to hate Treyarch CoD games.
