It was a stpuid purchase because Activision is all COD now and it was only a matter of time until the franchise underperformed and brought down the company.

It hasn't launched yet but has already underperformed..? And Activision is already in smoking ruins..? ..despite MW2 MP and Warzone still doing record revenue..? Huh.., that's interesting..

When MW3 smashes sales records because its MP is good, yeah it will be very well spent69 billy well spent
You know its still gonna be the best selling game this year right?
You also know people buy it for the MP not the campaign
Right?
true but the multiplayer is the biggest it ever was in cod especially now that even mw2 maps are being imported to mw3 too

At the end of the day it won't matter it will sell a shiton. People have been asking me for copies where I work for over a month. No one who buys COD annually or plays Warzone daily reads COD reviews or gives the campaign any importance. COD is the highest valued gaming IP along with FIFA.

Well deserved.4/10 by IGN:
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Single-Player Campaign Review - IGN
Underbaked, rehashed, and cobbled together from multiplayer parts, Modern Warfare 3’s single-player campaign is everything a Call of Duty story mode shouldn’t be.www.ign.com
Halo Infinite has good MP and its free to play.
Why? When its going to break records at $70? If you are in the business of making money, you dont go out of your way to lose money lol
It has all the OG mw2 maps, people will come in droves for the nostalgia alone.

Solid game that has come a long way but doesn’t scratch that Halo itch for me. Too many subtle or sometimes overt differences in gameplay and features.

Well yeah it makes perfect sense to milk the CoD fanbase with minimal work. But the reviews shouldn't care for that.

This cod campaign is the biggest catastrophe since BO4 had no campaign.

About time. They have been giving cods 9/10 for almost 2 decades now.

I'm talking about the future and how stupid it is to put all your eggs in one franchise. Just like Epic, if Fortnite declines, they lose most of their revenue.

Not everyone is like that. I played cod1,2 , mw, waw, mw2, advanced war, ww2, mw remake , all for the campaigns. I don't have time for multiplayer anymore.

Jackfrags discusses the drama & negativity around the campaign and his thoughts on the game...and tried to fix it?

People who aren't sinking in cash on MTX in MP or WarZone aren't the target audience, case in point a campaign that's only 3 hours long, an afterthought.

Considering Sony is about to sell 10 million+ PS5s this holiday in a bundle with the game which will equate to an insane amount of micro-transaction revenue and engagement I'd say the deal is already well on it's way to paying for itself.69 billy well spent

Until mw2019, both sales and player perception, they have broken profit records since warzone 1 but playerbase sentiment isn't very good since vanguard/caldera, and warzone 2 didn't do much, but I guess that's fine because children keep buying Nicki Minaj operator packs regardless of quality
I hope people that buy ONLY for a 3-4 hour campaign arent paying $70 for the game.
If thats all i were to care about, I would wait for $20 or less

Oh absolutely. Last cod I bought full price was ww2. It was the last one I played extensive multiplayer on too. The campaign and both mp modes were excellent imo. It also was before the woke and fortnite shit crept in.
Every other cod outside of cod2, mw, mw2, waw and ww2, I haven't got at launch or paid full price for. Those I did but were worthy of it.
In the future I guess gamepass will also fix the campaign only crowd
Making « campaign reviews » for what is essentially a multiplayer focused game were most of the content and interesting moments are outside of it (multi maps, zombie mods, warzone integration) reeks of click baity titles when everyone knows that 99% of the playerbase doesn’t even touch it.
Is the MP good? Are Zombies great? If so that’s all that really matters.

I thought Mac was going to rip it to shreds, but he…liked some of it?!! Score: 6.5
Meaty gunplay with excellent sound, great optimization, and some fun missions.
Damn, I might consider it when it hits $20.

Don't ask why all these clickbait farms are giving it a low score now, ask why they were too cowardly to do it for the past decade.

A 4/10 game gotta admit that's pretty funny.

DLC parading as a full game? Yeah, this one is going to get reamed. I think 70 might actually be too high, but I'm sure some are going to give it decent scores just because the multiplayer game play is going to be good.

There are some odd story decisions that prove it was DLC. It doesn’t wrap anything up.
I hope they take a year or two off. We probably won’t hear anything from Activision even if this game keeps reviewing poorly.

You realize this is mainly a multi player game and that’s what people buy it for, right?
Right?

Wake me up when the MP reviews are out.
LOL @ campaign missions on single player WarZone. That’s fucking funny.
I skipped MW2. Is that campaign good? The MW1 reboot campaign was top notch.

Battlefield always felt like garbage to me
CoD isn't my kind of game, but the controls felt way better. Very snappy.
I just wonder when this TYPE of game just loses its luster or if it's timeless. Plenty of other types of games have fizzled out (Tony Hawk, Guitar Hero, etc)
Because people complain to high heaven when it’s missing (BF5 and BOPS4 come to mind)
People also want their spectacle that they will go through once and never touch again. It makes little sense to invest tons of money into something few people really care about. This is as meaningful as people reviewing mmos for the leveling experience, it completely misses the point

So true lol.
This is kind of surprising cod has never come close to reviewing this badly, I mean its the same boring rehashed formula but at least it was extremely polished.. don't know what happened here. That being said people thinking this will change things are not realistic, aslong as the multiplayer is similar to earlier games this will sell insane amounts regardless of the terrible sp reviews. The COD franchise is basically a multiplayer warmachine that is too big to fall.

I did something that I haven't done in a while and ordered MW2 from the library. Just to play the single player.
It seems though that I don't have to touch this steaming pile of shit.
