Modern Warfare 3 was developed in less than a year and a half, compared to the usual three years for previous iterations
The game's campaign mode has been criticized for being boring and lacking cohesion
The multiplayer mode has been criticized for its dated UI and inconsistent time-to-kill
The latest installment in the Call of Duty franchise, Modern Warfare 3, has been met with a wave of criticism from various gaming outlets. The game, which is the first major release since Microsoft Corp.'s acquisition of Activision, was developed in less than a year and a half, a significant reduction from the usual three-year development cycle for previous iterations.
The rushed development process has resulted in a number of issues, with critics pointing out flaws in both the campaign and multiplayer modes. The campaign mode has been likened to a Hollywood depiction of war, with some critics comparing it to a James Bond film. However, the narrative has been criticized for being boring and lacking cohesion, failing to captivate fans. The game's exploration of world affairs and politics within the narrative has also been described as shallow.
The multiplayer mode has not fared much better. While the new game mode, Cutthroat, has received some praise, the overall experience feels like a rehash of Modern Warfare 2 with new maps. The user interface (UI) has been criticized for looking dated and for its focus on a storefront-first layout. The game's inconsistent time-to-kill and the reuse of maps and assets from Warzone in the new 'Open Combat' mission type have also been points of contention.
Despite these criticisms, there have been some positive aspects noted. The graphics have been praised for their improvement, and the gunplay and visuals have been commended. However, these positive points seem to be overshadowed by the overall negative reception of the game.
