Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III

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...

I can't believe that they have single handily destroyed the modern warfare franchise I have not felt this upset since the new battlefield came out. This is a mockery to all the call of duty fans. The graphics are awful it is like we have taken a step back the story line omg what story line it's like all they do is talk about kicking a## but never do. All the people that where apart of making this game needs sacking with immediate affect. Rehashed maps - laughable campaign - nothing new and that will be £70 please. I have been scammed no two ways about it. I can't understand how modern warfare one and two were groundbreaking yet this modern warfare 3 the only thing it breaks is your soul. Stick to modern warfare one or two this is going back to the shop!

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.

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.

This remake is nothing but a lazy crash grab. Around 3 hours story that they didn't even put any work into. Honestly it's sad to see how a company can ruin one of the best gaming franchises. It's way to obvious that this is just a overpriced dlc for MWII.

I hope the gaming community will come together and start showing activision that it's time to but down more effort into the remakes like this. Making annual releases instead of actually giving these games time is destroying these games.

PS: if you actually still enjoy this game then good on you but your help is needed as well to make activision change it's ways.
