Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 finally comes out today (November 10), but unfortunately, there isn’t as much excitement for this next installment.
Many criticisms regarding Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 which have already been released are not the most flattering. Our first impressions of Modern Warfare 3The campaign was cautiously optimistic, emphasizing that the new emphasis on open combat missions (OCM) means greater replayability.
Apart from this, several other critics have taken a more negative stance. GameSpot gave it a five out of 10, while IGN said the campaign “feels hastily put together”. However, it remains to be seen to what extent Modern Warfare 3 holds up compared to previous titles in this iconic franchise.
Many point to the development process as the reason the campaign failed in the eyes of so many. Bloomberg claims that Modern Warfare 3 was completed in less than a year and a half, according to a source who could not be identified because they were not authorized to speak publicly. This tight schedule would have proven stressful for the developers.
Bloomberg also said that some Sledgehammer employees had to work overtime late at night or on weekends to complete the project. Although an Activision spokesperson denied this Modern Warfare 3 was initially meant to be an expansion, Bloomberg added that Sledgehammer studio head Aaron Halon suggested it was possible the developers were confused about it because it’s a “new type of direct sequel” from the previous game.
Production is now complete, so all that’s left is for players to decide if this next title holds up. You can buy Modern Warfare 3 on Xbox Series X, PS5, PC, PS4 and Xbox One now.
