Not trashing on this youtuber but this guy might be paid off by Activision/Treyarch to promote the new games and bash the previous one, Activision has been having youtubers do this since bo3 with advanced warfare even though everyone knows Advanced Warfare's campaign was way better than bo3s. Expect Activision to let hackers in on purpose to mw3 these next couple weeks because they do not want you playing it anymore.

Multiplayer was amazing. The support was there, the gunplay/ TTK was perfect. The issue lies with the prestige system and the initial lack of new weapons. If you’ve played MW2, everything carried over. That was a huge mistake imo.

Furthermore in the OG MW Timeline, Makarov hated the West. If you hear the last story dialogue of MW 2019 which is the Spec Ops briefing, Laswell says that Verdansk was rebuilt by the West and Russia as a joint effort after the Cold War. Makarov hated that about the City so he attacked Verdansk at first out of hate and then later on he decided to frame Farah and her ULF Forces

[@lllll1836]

Campaign was honestly just way too rushed, I really hoped they were going to continue the story with valeria rather than some season cutscenes and that disappointed, the MWZ was and is so boring to me but the multiplayer, although I’m bored of that too cause being on the better end dealing with sweats every game kinda bores me fast, it was good in the sense that they really updated it a lot and made it feel somewhat fresh with the weekly events and cool camos

Campaign sucked, zombies was mediocre, and big game modes were left to dry, but they absolutely delivered in 6v6 content, which has always been the franchises bread and butter.

I never touched Building 21 more than 5 times because of how unfair it is to me playing Solo. And the worst is that Infinity Ward in their many ways of being a dogshit studio simply refused to address this by either adding Solo or adding a PvE toggle even after being practically begged to.

[@OneNateS]

I’m actually playing the Campaign for the first time rn, and my biggest gripe is the open combat missions. It feels like just Warzone incorporated in the campaign. And that looks like it is being a reoccurring theme in cod today. A lot of ppl call MWZ Warzone Zombies cuz it’s essentially WZ just instead of a PVP BR, you’re going up against AI. Tbh I think that was the problem with DMZ in MW2 As well ( along with going up against AI only to get sniped by a bush camper and he steals all your loot). Idk what Cod is going for, are they trying to ease WZ players into playing other game modes they offer? Or is it vice versa? Either way they gotta stop making the base of their game modes WZ. It’s a huge turn off, if I wanted to play WZ, that’s what I would’ve done. The worst part is it seems that the community is afraid they are going to do the same trend in BO6 w/ Liberty Falls. The Devs need to just understand that WZ isn’t your cash cow. This isn’t the same as Fortnite.

Makarov’s Motivation for his actions is simple to understand. If you replay MW 2019; Gen.Barkov invaded Urzikstan to destroy terrorism, something which Israel is doing.

One minor thing that I hated about the multiplayer, was included in the weekly challenges. For the majority (basically seasons 1-5) of the game’s lifecycle each challenge required you to use a “recommended weapon” which was annoying and restricting. Especially when there was a choice of at least 10 weapons per class. Sometimes it would even mean only one or two viable options, for example a recommended marksman being mostly the KVD.

Open combat sounds a lot like hitman series. you have an objective and multiple ways to complete them.

The mission you are in on the plane in the MW III is nothing like Russian 2.0, the real mission it refers to is when Price and Soap go to the Verdansk stadium and capture Makarov and eliminate the group that is killing civilians.

The thing is because cod releases new year is the main reason why people bish and moan about cod not changing because franchise fatigue. But I'm gonna be honest here yeah it is a paid dlc that were marketing on mechanics and gameplay that they effed up with mw2 and just fixed those and made them look like they were actual selling points of the game.

[@justinnguyen3918]

Verdansk was committed because he was trying to send a message on how weak Russia became after the humiliation they faced after the loss of Barkov

I genuinely enjoyed MW3. But that's only because I love FPS games that take place in modern settings.

[@christiancervantes4264]

For the last time, they had one job of MWIII of COD Franchise Games, but NOBODY GOT ACCEPTED UNDERSTANDING FOR THE PAST YEARS, NOBODY LISTENING, IT'S EVERYBODY PROBLEM, UNFORGIVABLE!!!!!

[@Schregger]

Concord had a lot of issues, issues that really should have been caught at some point during the horrendous 8 year development period.

I’m actually going to miss this game. It was great playing remastered maps from MW2 (2009) for the most part. Haven’t played campaign yet. But I feel the movement was great in this game. I just wish it had better matchmaking for pubs, fixed servers and focused on controlling the cheats. Other than that, I mostly play multiplayer and I felt it had pretty good map content from seasons 1-5. Considered we went through MW2 (2022), Vanguard and Cold War, I think this game gets more shit than it deserves.

[@eruanned.9687]

Yes adn it does matter - as the saying goes "The standard you walk pass is the standard you acept". And just because EA does it worse with the sports games (which is a good example why monopols are a bad idea) doesn't really make it better

This was Bobby Kotick fucking with us before he left Activision

I think you made a good point about how wether MWIII is DLC shouldn't be the question but wether if it is worth 70$. I try to think that way more often when buying anything, asking myself: Is this product worth its asking price to me or am I just thinking about buying because it's cheaper than its competitors or other products in general. (e.g. buying a cheap gadget before considering how much I'm going to use it) Personally I'm not going to buy BO6 at launch. I did buy CoD at launch since WWII but Vanguard, MWIII and MWIII all disappointed me and even though I think BO6 will be great I'll just try it at a friend's place who is gonna buy it anyway My own little Review on MWIII: 1. Campaig Story: Didn't like it, just running after Makarov and never catching him, only to have him runaway as an ending Gameplay: I like ego shooters and cod at that, but especially open combat missions felt kinda pointless as campaign missions 2. Zombies Played it twice, ran around the map while my random mates cleared everything without me really getting a lot out of it. It was boring for me, but I never really got into Zombies 3. Multiplayer To me, it felt really fast and that's why I really liked it. I'm probably an average to below average player, so games never get that sweaty

[@StrickerRei-Chn]

Yes, DLC

[@kusanalithedendroarchon]

No. No matter what the story and content was, it was a standalone game and not dlc

[@Anthony20084]

​@@kusanalithedendroarchonRrrriiiiiggghhhhttttt 🤨

[@radhoodini9802]

​@@kusanalithedendroarchonit's a standalone game if you're looking at it by base (steam, game banner & logo), but it's a dlc for mw2 when playing.

[@agentlinrov1474]

@@kusanalithedendroarchon I can agree in some extent, especially if it was to improve the prequel's mistakes. MW3 is like this and it was a classic in its story.

[@aronalaniz3685]

MWII was a $70 beta, MWIII was a full game

[@Thekid-rv4jh]

I think “alone” from mw2 was a open combat mission done right

[@adzzzzfrmdgreen]

Its sad how they didnt care about mw3 story in post launch seasons and just left us on a messed up cliffhanger its really a jumbled mess the characters have no meaning the missions are unfinished or finished and the plot weakens as the story goes on like its that bad

[@TB4_Truth]

The way I look at MWIII, Sledgehammer tried they’re best to make the most of a bad situation bc if I’m right they had a very short window to make this game. But, they made the best of a bad situation with multiplayer but the campaign and zombies were terrible. It does suck to see that, but it’s definitely one of the better cods we’ve had the last few years
