Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 review: a new low point | Digital Trends

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is a pretty game, but its bland campaign, atrocious UI, and irritating multiplayer quirks leave a sour taste in the mouth.

For some perspective on this, apparently it was initially supposed to be a DLC for Modern Warfare 2, but then the publisher decided it would be a full new game, but devs were given half the time to get it completed than for a normal game, and told they'd have to work evenings and weekends.

The fact you have to have MW2 installed to play it is kind of a massive give away. Was made in less than a year too which doesn't bode well

The series really has gone to the dogs, COD4 was as close to perfection a shooter ever got for me and since then it's been a steep down hill sprint for the COD series

Personally, I preferred the original MW2 to COD4, but those two games were probably COD at their very best. The first Black Ops game, as the one that came out between COD4:MW & MW2, was also pretty good. The series has definitely gone downhill since then though!

I've started using OpenCritic more than Metacritic and it's really quite telling when it comes to the MW3 remake:

The critic average is not good, but a 5% recommend value is shocking. I have heard that the multiplayer is very good, but as someone who prefers single player, MW3 has absolutely nothing for me if the campaign is this bad!
