^Personally, i think that IW rushed development on MW3 for a few reasons:

1: They didn't want to compete with Halo 4, XCOM, or any 2012 huge game.

2: MW2 graphics. Absolutely no improvement.

3: Half of the guns put in earlier CoD games used recycled or reused animations

4: They talked about the game so much when it was only about 4/7 of the way done to overhype it. ( on purpose, IDK )
