Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III

I really wish I had never wasted my money on this in the first place. There's nothing entirely different about it. It's literally just an add on. A DLC. But yet they classify it as this brand new game, which it's not. I wish they hadn't had come out with it too soon or I also just wish this had never been made at all.

The campaign I don't care about. Personally, I don't play campaigns anymore and haven't in a long time.

The multiplayer. Literally just the same. Just like the multiplayer from MW1 and 2. It's fine I guess. Although it can just feel repetitive at times.

The zombies. What in the world? It all just feels too easy, too open, too free, but overall, EMPTY and LIFELESS. You're just running around on this huge ass map, with your teammates, shooting any zombies that you see and that's really about it. I at least thought zombies would be decent, but turns out I was so bored playing it and I was heavily disappointed. Making zombies Open World was a huge mistake. I'd rather go back to BO3 zombies or any of the other ones where you actually had ROUNDS and it was an engaging challenge.

All in all, I regret purchasing $70 for Modern Warfare 3 or as I should say Modern Warfare 2, but with a bunch of crappy add ons. I don't see how anyone can find the hype in this. There's none. I think it is probably just time for Call Of Duty to come to an end in general. They've had their run for awhile. It's clear to see that the games they are coming out with are not getting any better. I for sure will not be purchasing the next Call Of Duty, whatever it'll be.

Start off by saying I've been playing Call of Duty for over 10 years and I've never played a Call of Duty with a bad ending like Modern Warfare III. They just made this to basically tell you that's there's going to be about squeal ( basically Modern Warfare IV). The combat missions are the absolute worst I rather be playing Warzone or a Tom Clancy open world game. Multiplayer I'll give a 8, it takes the cake here and Zombies I'll give a 7. Conclusion: It's not the worst Call of Duty or the best, the developers could've done so much more with the campaign, so I think a 5/10 is the perfect rating.

Modern Warfare 3's campaign commits the biggest sin possible for a globe-trotting action thriller: it's boring. What had the promise to be an intriguingly spun web of mystery instead ends up being a dusty cobweb you'd find at the back of your shed, clinging onto 15-year-old garden toys you once had fun with. It's a pale imitation of the past, made up of underbaked story moments that clash with attempts to introduce new open combat missions designed to encourage player freedom that instead fall flat on their face. Yes, the gunplay is still great and the graphics and sound design are top-tier, but I couldn't help but feel I was playing a shinier, less subtle version of something I've played too many times before. If this is the quality we've come to expect from Call of Duty campaigns, maybe it's for the best if a year or two is taken to reset and raise this low bar back to the heights of old.

I have played almost every Call of Duty game in the franchise starting from the first Call of Duty and later the United Offensive expansion.

Some have been better than others with regards to story, imagination and implementation, and when Call of duty 4: Modern Warfare was released it was a new experience as they were trying to cater to realism as you learned about Soap and Captain Price from the legendary SAS, and Sgt. Jackson U. S. Marine.

Modern Warfare evolved throughout the next two releases and after remastered versions we eventually saw the reboot of Task Force 141 in 2019.

In this reboot we got an amazing campaign that included the legendary level "Clean House" which is about as real as it gets according to ex. SAS highest ranking soldier Mark "Billy" Billingham and we could only dream what the next instalment would bring?

Modern Warfare 2 was ok but it didn't try to bring the realism that "Clean House" did, and I personally disliked the story with the new Shepard and Phillip Graves, but we got Simon "Ghost" Riley so it was something, but as the campaign progressed it turned more into an arcade game sadly...

Surprisingly Modern Warfare 3 was announced when we expected a DLC to MW2, but if they had put in the time and resources none would be happier than us gamers - but boy were we in for a surprise... In order to save time and money (my opinion) they decided to pick some multiplayer maps, with bots, and throw us players into a all-guns-blazing solo missions that replaced realism and tactics with power-ups and well lit arcade areas that nobody wanted! You could easily finish the whole campaign in under three hours?! If it had been the DLC we expected things wouldn't be so bad, but we had to pay full price for this mess.

Why even bother making a campaign when you're going to put close to zero effort into it compared to the excellent levels in Modern Warfare 2019?!

This is by far the biggest disappointment in the Call of Duty franchise - including Black Ops 3, which led to Black Ops 4 didn't get a single player campaign at all, but Modern Warfare is ALL about the story and the multiplayer was something to do afterwards if you felt like it.

This campaign was such a let down and the only positive thing was that it was so short that I could finish it and still get a refund on Steam!

I hope the negative criticism has some effect otherwise single player campaigns are yet again a dying breed...

Overall, my experience with this game, albeit mostly limited to campaign and zombies, is... incredibly mixed. Campaign, which I fully played through, was actually pretty good in my opinion up until the third act. I thought the first few missions were well written and had genuine fun playing them, but the drop in quality was drastic and very off putting. The campaign needed a few more hours of content to wrap up what had already been set up. As for zombies, I'll openly admit it was nearly unplayable for the first month or two. It crashed constantly, lagged like crazy, and left me more frustrated than anything at least half of the time. It's not nearly as buggy now, although far from perfect. However, the newer content is starting to feel lazy to me. Some of us play for story, after all, and the last season or two has offered almost none. My mw3 multiplayer experience is much more limited, but mostly positive. After a bit of warzone and a lot of rustment I can honestly say it feels a bit too grindy for my taste, but that could just as easily be user error. Overall, could be better, but could be a lot worse and is passable for how I use the game.
