The Modern Warfare 3 campaign will take you roughly 5-6 hours to complete if you're playing on Regular difficulty. If you choose to play on Recruit, however, you can very likely finish the story in around 4 hours.

It's worth noting that every players' completion time will be different as MW3 has so many open-ended missions which give you the freedom to reach the objective in any way you please.
