COD Modern Warfare 3’s campaign is so bad I’m having a great time

Give the indie studio some leeway they're trying their best.

This game is more of a war crime than anything that actually happened in the campaign

i like how makarov went from a really good complex villain with actual motives, to a cardboard cut out of a movie villain, the type of villain to kill one of his own because he did or said something slightly wrong

"linear set pieces is cod's bread and butter so let's hope we get those a lot more" famous last words

You know, for a game series that started with the slogan "no one fights alone," you sure do a LOT of fighting alone in Call of Duty now. Like, it was the majority of the game.

Normally the purpose of a reboot is to make it better.

Vladimir Shapiro is truly a villain of all time

Another plot hole in the airplane scene was that if you let the scene play out without pressing anything, an air marshal gets up and points his gun at the gunman. Your character then takes the weapon from the gunman and takes him down, but for some reason even after seeing that your character was being held hostage, the air marshal shoots your character when instead he should have shot the other gunman who entered from the other aisle.

No Russian was an interesting idea here. Great set up, but I think the part where you have to get the phone is where they messed it up. They should've forced you to go further for it, stretch out the mission, and give the gun actual bullets just to force you to shoot the civilians. That's a fascinating moral quandary but instead it just resulted in punching some people and blowing up with little to no actual player actions.

12:40 "cod has made a lot of their missions into multiplayer maps." retrofitting a campaign location into a map is both efficient and really cool for the people who play the campaign. literally copy and pasting multiplayer maps from the PREVIOUS GAME and filling them with bots is just embarrassing. They tested this out in the co-op missions in the first MW reboot, and doubled down in the co-op stuff for MW2, and we let them get away with it without even considering that we were actually just beta testing the future of CoD campaigns.

Samara not immediately turning around and following the idiot out of the plane will always bug me. He had a parachute on, he wasn’t gonna stay, no one kept her on that plane

I will say, I wish more games had cutscenes that looked this good… when they aren’t crashing lol

I find that no one mentioned this, but right before Ivan is shot, Makarov rips off a patch. THAT WAS SEWN ON AND IT MADE A VELCRO SOUND and then he put it on Nolan's VELCRO. That's not how velcro works at all.

3 in MW3 stands for number of hours in the campaign

To be frank, putting aside the plot-holes, dumb decisions by the cast and an unceremonious character, this campaign's biggest flaw is that it's boring while also being very short. It's hard to remember what you did the last 3-4 hours that felt memorable.

The thing is... Makarov looks EXACTLY like my lieutenant back from I was a conscript in 2019. This had the most uncanny effect especially because he was a commander of our CBRN Squad. God, I sure hope he managed to get out of the army before this tragic war.

Wild that Graves just had his PMC's butcher a whole town and now he's just back and everyone's fine with him? Edit: WHY IS SHEPHERD NOT IN PRISON, WHAT?

I cant believe ben shapiro pretended to be a bar of soap and gave us the slip.

Makarov looks like he sells crypto

Its like... considering how often they release, I always thought CoD should be an all in one deal that gets updated over time, but of course they had to go and do it in the worst possible way.
