GameTrailers: “The audio design is top shelf, with excellent channel separation, chest-pounding sound effects, and eerily accurate weapon reports. Expect the usual collection of celebrity voice talent with impressive performances all around, while the orchestral music swells at all the right moments.”
GameChronicles: “The Dolby Digital sound mix is completely immersive with a stirring soundtrack that will fuel your adrenalin, great voice acting and in-game chatter, and some fantastic sound effects for all the weapons and explosions. The sampling rate has been boosted so these guns have never sounded better or more realistic, and there are plenty of shellshock and disorientation effects that will leave you breathless.”
GameBoyz: “Much like Modern Warfare 3′s visuals, the attention to detail carries over into the sound department. Whether it is things like the buzzing from a pop machine, a fence rattling, some random tarp flapping in the wind, to the large scale Hollywood movie soundtrack or booming explosions, Modern Warfare 3′s audio package is pure gold.”
