The Disappointment is Deafening
The highly anticipated Modern Warfare multiplayer has finally arrived for Call of Duty players, and the verdict is in: disappointment. After already receiving criticism for its single-player campaign, Modern Warfare 3 fails to deliver the upgrades that fans were hoping for.
Developed Under Crunch
It has been revealed that Modern Warfare 3 was developed under crunch, with the team originally intending it to be an expansion of Modern Warfare 2. This resulted in the game being rushed, and the corners that were cut are evident.
Familiar Modes with Minimal Changes
While zombies are a fan-favorite mode, the gameplay loop in Modern Warfare 3 is now more like Warzone's DMZ mode. The usual multiplayer modes like Team Deathmatch remain largely unchanged, with only minimal improvements like faster mantling. Additionally, the new maps are actually just remakes of old ones, leaving players wanting something more.
A £70 DLC Package
Perhaps the most frustrating aspect of Modern Warfare 3 is that it marks the closure of the MW2 servers, forcing players to purchase the new game to have the same experience. This has led many to believe that Modern Warfare 3 is nothing more than a £70 DLC package.
Stick to Warzone
If you want to send a message to companies that players deserve better, it's best to stick to Warzone. Modern Warfare 3 is a disappointing addition to the Call of Duty franchise and a clear example of a publisher who prioritizes profit over player experience.
