Call of Duty<\/a> game, and the reviews are far from flattering.<\/p>\nWith a dismal Metacritic score of 53 out of 100 and a user score of 1.6, it seems the latest instalment in this long-standing franchise has failed to impress both critics and the community alike.<\/p>\n
Even the closest contender, Call of Duty: Vanguard, managed to surpass MW3 with a score of 73 on Metacritic, leaving a substantial 20-point gap between the two titles.<\/p>\n
What’s more alarming is that the 2023 version of MW3 trails 35 points below its 2009 predecessor and lags behind the revamped Modern Warfare titles.<\/p>\n
One of the major criticisms revolves around MW3’s attempt to reintroduce iconic maps from previous Call of Duty versions.<\/p>\n
While this move initially generated hype, fans now claim that these maps feel “rehashed and overused,” detracting from the overall gaming experience rather than enhancing it.<\/p>\n
The single-player campaign also faced harsh criticism, with fans labeling its design as lazy and expressing dissatisfaction with its newest features.<\/p>\n
The Open Combat Missions, which divert players from the linear path and resemble Warzone-like maps with objectives, were particularly unpopular.<\/p>\n
These missions constitute almost half of the 15 campaign missions, prompting players to voice their disdain for this departure from the traditional Call of Duty experience.<\/p>\n
The multiplayer aspect of MW3 did not escape scrutiny either.<\/p>\n
The Armory System was promptly condemned by players for dictating a specific playstyle, leading to widespread requests for its removal.<\/p>\n
The prevailing sentiment among players is that MW3 was rushed, and despite the developer’s claims to the contrary, reviews unmistakably reflect fans’ dissatisfaction.<\/p>\n
Activision faces the challenge of turning the tide, and it remains to be seen if they can salvage the game’s reputation after such a rocky start.<\/p>\n
