Modern Warfare 3's Campaign Made Me Die of Cringe

Modern Warfare 3's Campaign is hilariously bad. But I'm glad it exists because making fun of the campaign proved a lot more fun than playing it.

MWIII

[@ThiccNquicc]

Ghost's: It was a different time, a different enemy. Sixty men, from Tier One teams, were sent to face down a force of five hundred enemy fighters. Their objective: to force the enemy back from a civilian hospital, and keep its occupants alive. For three days, they held their ground, but the enemy's numbers were too great. The sixty were cut down to fifteen. They wouldn't last another night, and the enemy knew it. Under the cover of darkness, they evacuated the hospital, sending only one of their own to lead the way. The rest returned to the line, and took up positions beneath the bodies of their fallen brothers. As they lay in wait, the blood from the dead poured over them. The sand stuck to their skin like a shroud. Changing them. Anointing them. When the enemy drew near, the remaining fourteen rose out of the desert sand. They were like hunters that couldn't be seen, using stealth their enemies couldn't defend against. When the men ran dry of ammunition, they used their blades...and when the blades ran dull, they used their hands. When the dust and sand had settled, only one of the enemy had survived. He was picked up in the desert, wandering aimlessly, traumatised. He expressed warnings to others of a force so menacing and unbeatable, it could only be described as supernatural. He called them... Ghosts" MW3: "Where are the missles!?"

This is really sad. The first rebooted MW had so much promise. Interesting mission design, focused plot, real stakes, good music, and could've worked as a setup to something amazing. Instead, the whole rebooted MW trilogy just boils down to gas, missiles, and Sheperd shitting (MW2: "When we shit, we bury it" MW3: "Does a polar bear shit in snow?". That's literally it.

[@alsharef1]

Actually its sucks from the beginning, all of the rebooted series is cringy SJW bullshit , I’m not surprised at all that cod developers reached this level of sickness

[@lukecodz]

they make each game so much worse, and mw 2 had a chance of redeeming modern cod after the disgrace called vanguard. ofc ACTIVISION fumbled this after rushing this production which should have been a $30 DLC at most.

[@citiestoash]

@@lukecodzHonestly. Cods been in the shitter got 5+ years now. If y’all took this long to realize it. Activision deserves your money

[@Spud1189]

I honestly feel like the moment that made me begin doubting the direction the reboots were going in was when they brought back Alex in warzone. From there it not only established outside things like Warzone being needed to understand the main campaign storyline but that major characters can be brought back to life no mattee how contrived or unnecessary. Then 2022 comes and it doesn’t really follow up any plot lines from the first game and it’s just “where’s the missiles!?” With a plot that has some contrivances like letting the terrorist dude escape. The most redeeming part of that game for me was the gameplay being a bit out there for COD and nice dynamics between the characters. Then the raids happen and kill Hadir when he was set up in the first game to be a villain moving forward along with bringing back Graves. Now we’re in MW3 and we have a villain who has hardly been set up at all and pales in comparison to the original and the death of an underutilized character because “Well Soap died in the original MW3 so he has to die here”. So much promise in the first game and now it’s just an action blockbuster series that pales in comparison to the originals in many many ways.

[@Eva01-jy2qu7pu9r]

@@alsharef1COD MW3 is definitely SJW woke bullshit. The first game at least attempted to revive the series with more realism and grittiness than ever, until each proceeding game got worse in how they approached the tone of this series. MWII tried to mix the original and new games together and was somewhat successful in that case, but then this shit flat out ruins everything we liked from the first two so it can set up more garbage and even more woke sequels.

In COD 4, Price beat and choked a man and then killed him once he learned Zakhaev was the boss. In COD 2019 he used the butchers family as leverage and was willing to kill his son.

Exactly. Also the fact that Makarov is not dead by the end of this game proves this is a cash grab and nothing more. If it were trying to be even remotely similar to the OGs this game would be the end of it.

[@Deagnetic]

Especially when in MW2019 his whole character is someone willing to go maybe even too far to protect others and get the job done. The whole back and fourth with Gaz on whats too far and what isnt in that game was really good. MW2019 Price would have let Soap paint the inside of that black hawk red.

[@Death_Chopper]

@@Deagnetic yep, I remember Price saying "We draw the line where we need to", Price would do anything to stop the bad guys and protect innocents.The game gave you the impression that he threw morals out of the window a while ago, be it throwing a civilian with a suicide vest off a balcony to save others, or shooting at a civilian because they would have reached a detonantor.

The longer I think about Soap's death here, the angrier I get. Soap's death was so impactful to me, it was one of the first times I felt so emotional over a character death in a video game. This though, is an insult to OG MW3 in almost every conceivable way. I was hesitant to buy it before, but this just sealed it. Fuck this game, and fuck Activision.

Also, for anyone wondering, Alex and Graves were confirmed to still be alive in the multiplayer lore for MW 2019 and MWII, respectively.

[@wolftamer5463]

Yeah I still never understood how Alex survived. Imo he should have stayed dead. But at least we never actually see Graves in the tank and it’s plausible even before the reveal he was just talking through a radio. Maybe I’m biased because he was one of my favorite characters from MW22 and I was glad he got brought back, but they did get too comfy with pulling the “not actually dead” card.

[@RAIDEN9001]

It feels like they killed Soap just because he died in the 3rd game. Not remembering why it was so impactful. The tragedy of Price being the last og member, Soaps final words were likely of warning Price in case Yuri was a traitor. The music, the moment of silence. And Price's fury, demanding how Makarov knows Yuri. This game has had me relook at the og Mw3 and see there was more of an attempt of decent, to now good because the bar has lowered so low.
