COD Modern Warfare 3 campaign turns out to be a massive let down

Modern Warfare 3’s campaign became available for early access starting on November 2, 2023, for players who had digitally pre-ordered the game. Up to this point, numerous players have had the opportunity to experience the campaign and share their thoughts and opinions on it.

Upon the release of early access to the MW3 campaign, players who obtained the key swiftly dived in to relive the offline campaign’s glory with modern visuals. Unfortunately, not all of them emerged from it with the same sense of positivity.

According to many player reports, the campaign has its highs, but at the same time, it also has some significant lows. Several reports claim that it had considerable potential but failed to capitalize on any of it.

Among the various complaints, the most frequently mentioned one pertains to the length of the entire campaign. Players stated that the entire offline campaign could be completed within a maximum of 3-5 hours, and the story is highly lackluster.

Players expressed that the combat sequences and set pieces could have been more expansive and grand in scale. Instead, reportedly, 70% of the game consists of stealth-based operations, in contrast to the open-field grand gunfights that the series is renowned for.

Ultimately, based on player reports, the offline campaign of Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 can be labeled as a ‘misfire’. Despite having all the necessary elements for a grand Warfield adventure, the campaign falls flat, failing to justify its $70 price tag.

Here are some pros and cons of the Modern Warfare 3 campaign, as reported by players:

Pros:

• Less linear feel
• Shooting feels highly responsive and well-tuned
• Battlegrounds constantly challenge your awareness

Cons:

• Run-of-the-mill story
• Follows the patented Call of Duty formula
• Short campaign duration
• Poor AI
• Dated graphics
• Difficult-to-follow story
• Moments of emotional weight fall flat
• Excessive bloodthirstiness, bombast, and clumsiness
• A core of nastiness with a bitter aftertaste at its climax
• Disappointing story, character development, and utilization of small Warzone maps

Early access was made available on November 2, 2023, for players who had digitally pre-ordered the game, and it is accessible on all platforms.
