Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III

Think of what made the original Modern Warfare games good.

Now take all of that away.

That's Modern Warfare 3.

It is a lazy add on of last year's game (which was far superior although not as good as the original.) The graphics are somehow far worse than they were in MW 2019, which had one of the best campaigns in COD history in my opinion.

The campaign's story feels like it was written by unintelligent robots. Makes no sense at all.

The missions are war zone maps and complete one man army scenarios. No interesting set pieces or anything, you just run around picking up guns and killstreaks all alone. It's not a realistic war game like the old MW ones, it's a silly mess that makes over the top Hollywood blockbusters look like documentaries.

The only decent mission is the first one. The voice acting comes across as forced. It's only about 3 hours long which is 3 hours too long, because they'd be better of not having one in the first place.

There is no love, no care put into this game and none of the charm that made the old MW games great.

MW 2019 was a very good game and the best COD made since Black Ops 2.

MW2 2022 was a decent game and was better than this one in every way imaginable.

The multiplayer is the same as last year's game but with a few old maps thrown into it, yet they are all nowhere near as fun to play on.

I feel completely betrayed buying this game and would implore all who read this review to not buy this disaster.

This remake is nothing but a lazy crash grab. Around 3 hours story that they didn't even put any work into. Honestly it's sad to see how a company can ruin one of the best gaming franchises. It's way to obvious that this is just a overpriced dlc for MWII.

I hope the gaming community will come together and start showing activision that it's time to but down more effort into the remakes like this. Making annual releases instead of actually giving these games time is destroying these games.

PS: if you actually still enjoy this game then good on you but your help is needed as well to make activision change it's ways.

I can't believe that they have single handily destroyed the modern warfare franchise I have not felt this upset since the new battlefield came out. This is a mockery to all the call of duty fans. The graphics are awful it is like we have taken a step back the story line omg what story line it's like all they do is talk about kicking a## but never do. All the people that where apart of making this game needs sacking with immediate affect. Rehashed maps - laughable campaign - nothing new and that will be £70 please. I have been scammed no two ways about it. I can't understand how modern warfare one and two were groundbreaking yet this modern warfare 3 the only thing it breaks is your soul. Stick to modern warfare one or two this is going back to the shop!

I have played almost every Call of Duty game in the franchise starting from the first Call of Duty and later the United Offensive expansion.

Some have been better than others with regards to story, imagination and implementation, and when Call of duty 4: Modern Warfare was released it was a new experience as they were trying to cater to realism as you learned about Soap and Captain Price from the legendary SAS, and Sgt. Jackson U. S. Marine.

Modern Warfare evolved throughout the next two releases and after remastered versions we eventually saw the reboot of Task Force 141 in 2019.

In this reboot we got an amazing campaign that included the legendary level "Clean House" which is about as real as it gets according to ex. SAS highest ranking soldier Mark "Billy" Billingham and we could only dream what the next instalment would bring?

Modern Warfare 2 was ok but it didn't try to bring the realism that "Clean House" did, and I personally disliked the story with the new Shepard and Phillip Graves, but we got Simon "Ghost" Riley so it was something, but as the campaign progressed it turned more into an arcade game sadly...

Surprisingly Modern Warfare 3 was announced when we expected a DLC to MW2, but if they had put in the time and resources none would be happier than us gamers - but boy were we in for a surprise... In order to save time and money (my opinion) they decided to pick some multiplayer maps, with bots, and throw us players into a all-guns-blazing solo missions that replaced realism and tactics with power-ups and well lit arcade areas that nobody wanted! You could easily finish the whole campaign in under three hours?! If it had been the DLC we expected things wouldn't be so bad, but we had to pay full price for this mess.

Why even bother making a campaign when you're going to put close to zero effort into it compared to the excellent levels in Modern Warfare 2019?!

This is by far the biggest disappointment in the Call of Duty franchise - including Black Ops 3, which led to Black Ops 4 didn't get a single player campaign at all, but Modern Warfare is ALL about the story and the multiplayer was something to do afterwards if you felt like it.

This campaign was such a let down and the only positive thing was that it was so short that I could finish it and still get a refund on Steam!

I hope the negative criticism has some effect otherwise single player campaigns are yet again a dying breed...

I've tried really hard to like this game but i'm done with it... the multiplayer is absolute garbage. There's been moments where i've unloaded 5 shots in to an opposing player and it's been confirmed by the hit marker sound and then they turn and floor me with two shots to the body with the same class of gun im using. I spend more time looking for opposition players than killing them and then when i do im again gunned down easily even if i've hit them more times than they have me. I'm not a novice at these games and played them for years and prestiged fully in every game i've owned so i know its not me at fault here..i was also just kicked for inactivity for protecting a domination point with a sniper for a few minutes while my team were being bombarded by the enemy so you are now kicked if you are holding off the enemy and stuck in the same area for too long and don't want to die in the process .... pathetic . There's no multiplayer progression screen after a match and you have to go and hunt down what calling cards/guns you have earned and how well you're progressing on the battle pass and what rank you are. And now instead of opening new equipment by progressing through levels, once you hit level 25 on multiplayer you have to complete daily missions to obtain them. So if you want to unlock something you have to be able to complete challenges you might not be good at.this is unfair for players tat just can't grasp certain guns or are able to play as good as others. It's a small complaint but it just adds to the crappyness of the whole experience. Also zombies mode isn't the classic zombies we know and love it's some free roaming level with mini missions and some zombies randomly chase you. Its very easy and is boring and is not in the slightest bit fun.

I really regret buying this game. I was having so much fun on mw2 recently and i thought that this would be a step up but it's far worse than i could have imagined. Basically bought the same game i did years ago but this time it doesn't work properly and its constantly asking me to buy stuff i don't want. Even in the menu its asking me to buy the game im currently playing.

This is the last time i buy a COD game because its nothing more than a shameless cash grab and the money they are asking for the product is just not worth it. Im selling this first chance i get.
