Was always gonna cave in and buy it, but this game is basically just an expansion to MW2. Not that MW needed to be rebooted but I didn't hate the first two (I basically just play the campaigns at this point).
Campaign wise, this cannot end on a trilogy. It just was not long enough and it just kind of ends. Story wise it's not that bad but the level design and length is nothing short of a disgrace. It's the same thing over and over, I know COD has never been known for it's incredibly different and revolutionary missions but it's insane in MW3. Just sneak around until you eventually get spotted then let hell break loose. Really not a big fan of the new Makarov, not even comparing to the original but he's just not that interesting or intimidating, he just does evil things to be evil. And as for Soap's death and the "ending", it's downright insulting. Plus this whole operators stuff and constantly linking to warzone, it's a joke. Some cod games have banging soundtracks, and even the ones that don't at least try but I genuinely cannot even remember a single track from the campaign, or the multiplayer for that matter. Plus bringing back characters like Graves and Alex made no sense, even if I liked the role that Graves played, despite the fact everyone just forgave him for committing genocide. You could've literally just replaced Alex with Alejandro and it wouldn't have made a difference. This campaign had the shortest development cycle out of any of them and it shows. Even the credits are rushed it's incredible. MW4 is inevitable, so is disappointment.
The multiplayer doesn't set my world on fire either, it's slick and fast paced granted but it gets that from MW2019 so who cares. The zombies is also uninspired and boring. Adding zombies to a modern warfare game is a crime in itself and every addition is poor. Another warzone copy and paste. I'm not sinking anymore time into this game as it is the most recycled game in the series bar none, and that is some achievement.
