    My Own Theory: 16:07
    Modern Warfare 3 is the worst-rated Call of Duty in the franchise’s history, and if you take any look at the discourse surrounding it, you’ll see why. All the maps are reused, the campaign is short, poorly designed, and boring, zombies is just Warzone with an undead coat of paint, and you’d be hard-pressed to find any discussion, no, sentence discussing MW3 that doesn’t include the phrase, $70 DLC. But there's more to this equation because Treyarch has touted Modern Warfare 3 as having a higher engagement than both Modern Warfare 1 and 2 combined. Further, their take on zombies has been the most successful third mode in Modern Warfare history. Finally, while the campaign is awful, it only makes up so much of the playerbase. Trophy data from many of the recent Call of Duty games showcase that more players on average are reaching the max level in multiplayer than players finishing the campaign. There is a clear disconnect between the people talking about the game online and the wider player base, and I want to figure out why, in spite of it all, Modern Warfare 3 sold.
    I need to make something clear before moving forward and that is if we are talking ethics, Modern Warfare 3 is an abhorrent example of Activision prioritising a yearly release over not just the quality of the product, but the quality of life for those working on this game. Developers have gone on record about how hard they were crunched, and truthfully, I think Sledgehammer should win an award for putting this together in the time that they did; it’s impressive, but the fact they had to is utter horseshit. I also want to make it clear that I won’t be arguing for or against the price tag. As much as I could try, the point of this video isn’t to review the game, it’s to explain why, in spite of such poor reviews, it is doing so well. In order to break this down I’ll need to cover a few topics; 1, enragement and engagement. 2, content vs mechanics. 3, reviews. And 4, my own little biassed take on why people still bought MW3..
    Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 is one of the worst rated games in the series, but why did Modern Warfare 3 sell. Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 not to be confused with the old Call of Duty MW3 is an MW3 remake. This is not an Modern Warfare 3 review, nor does it aim to see if Modern Warfare 3 So bad or good. I could make an MW3 Review, but I think this video gets my thoughts out well enough. This video will encompass Warzone 3, but won't be a Warzone 3 review, and the same goes for the Modern Warfare 3 Zombies mode. So, is this the worst Call of Duty? How will this impact the Warzone 3 Meta. As of now, CoD MW3 is great, despite the COD MW3 reviews I have seen. I concede that the Modern Warfare 3 campaign, isn't the best, and if I was to do a series of Call of Duty analysis, or a Call of Duty review, or Call of Duty retrospective, I would rank this in the mid range, definitely above Modern Warfare 2. Would you want to see a Call of Duty warzone video, in a similar manner to the fornite critique I did last year?

    I'm gonna be honest, I have not even picked up a Call Of Duty since Cold War and when I canceled my pre-order of Vanguard due to its horrible beta. Since then, I've been glad I've just listened on the sidelines and never bought them, since I knew that I'd just be walking straight into disappointment. I'm honestly happy in knowing I haven't missed out on much with this franchise.

MW is more tactical (at least how my extended custom game group plays) and Cold War is for when I just want to run fast and shoot stuff or play Zombies. Genuinely think Cold War's Outbreak mode is phenomenal and so good that I even prefer playing it solo (bc none of my friends have the game and more loot for me).

    Another reason why it's selling so well is probably because it's being sold as a bundle with a ps5 in my country atleast.What's funny is that the bundle is always discounted and generally costs around 580 usd whereas the normal edition of the console(without any extra game etc) costs around 600 usd.The call of duty mw3 bundle is essentially the cheapest way to buy a ps5.

    Preface: I owned MWII previously and MWIII is an upgrade to MWII I bought MWIII after testing it out with the 5-day Free Trial. It was super fun DURING the free trial. Once that free trial was over, I was lead to purchase MWIII especially since it had a promo on the digital copy for roughly $47. After I paid then played, it was super laggy, SBMM was turned all the way up and it became drastically less fun the more and more I played. I was able to get a refund from Microsoft and I was thankful. I am playing BO3 (got it on promo for $20), BO Cold War (got it on promo for $20) and MW19 (got it for a steal at $5 from Gamestop). These three will hold me over until Treyarch's new BO Gulf War. Believe everyone that says Treyarch is the best then comes Sledgehammer then Infinity Ward. I believe Infinity Ward may have an internal friction with Activision which is why they keep making throwaway COD games. Or they are making terrible CODs in order to make a decent game to look as if they have made a comeback. Who knows only time will tell.

    my favorite game in the series by far was mw2019 just because of how new it felt when I was playing it for the first time like that feeling when I bought the game for $20 from a classmate made it feel so much better because I thought it was a steal so I played mw2019 so much to the point where my xbox could barely load the main menu walking map. I was really hoping to have the same feeling when I bought mw2 because I thought it'd be better mw2019. it wasn't but I still had my fun with it because I liked the camo grind and also the pve stuff that they added, I thought those were really cool and would to see more tbh. i don't plan on buy mw3 right now just because I feel like nothing in mw3 will make my jaw drop like it did with 2019. I really do play call of duty for the campaign because I feel like that's where most of their work should be at and I like to immerse myself into these I play. So having a shit campaign kind of sucks ass. I do miss the multiplayer of call of duty because its only in call of duty where people use their mics the most and not hearing people shit talk me for using a sniper makes me miss the experience that call of duty brings with its community. plus I'm a destiny player now and need to spend my money wisely lol

    Because people talk a lot online about how they're so angry/disappointed/etc due to the perceived anonymity and group think. However, that doesn't line up with their real personal thoughts. At least, it doesn't enough to stop them from actually continuing to buy it. It's all sound and fury signifying nothing. The virtual world doesn't reflect 1:1 with the real one where people vote with their wallets.
    Also, out the rage and outcry means less to the company than profits which they're making tons of. Why would they change anything? If people actually wanted change, vote with your wallet and stop paying for what you supposedly hate so much. That's when you'll actually see change.
    Edit: in fact, I'm thinking I should start picking some companies to invest in based on the amount of outrage that they get online. It could be rather profitable. If people's actions reflected their purchases, it wouldn't but that's clearly not the world we live in.

      I honestly never understood the meatriding of old CoD, especially the mentality people had back in the overglorified Modern Warfare Trilogy.
      Imagine being a grown-ass man priding yourself on being an incessant prick and has to resort to racial slurs when you get smoked by a player half your age.

    I haven't played COD since Advanced Warfare but I think it keeps selling because it's the group hobby of people. Similarly how people have a recreational sports team they join up with and play on a schedule there are people who do the same with multiplayer games. Mechanics, storylines, worker treatment, none of these things matter to them, they aren't even aware of such things. They have their friends group they socialize with online by playing COD with them, and every year they all buy the new COD because it's just a habit at this point.

    There's gameplay realism and setting realism. Majority of people talking about wanting a more realistic CoD are talking about the setting. Less exosuits, movement, super agents, etc. and more grounded, gruesome settings that put you into the boots of an average or an above average soldier.

They are a minority, the average normie is not online following every single move that a game's devs and publisher make, or pouring over the update logs. They just want a game that is fun for them to play. And I always thought that the core gameplay of COD was pretty fun, the issue is that it keeps getting buried under more and more bs.

If you can get over the SBMM and look at the positives, it’s an extremely fun game. Plenty of events and weekly challenges, aftermarket parts are awesome, great camo grind, smooth movement, love the feel of the weapons, beautiful graphics, and the zombies mode is a blast with so many different ways of playing it. Campaign was not good and I’m not saying this is the best cod I’ve ever played, but I’m definitely glad I gave the game a chance and am having the most fun I’ve had since bo2 or bo3

    Thought this was obvious: the people actively playing know that in general MW3 feels like an improvement from last year overall. Two years of Modern Warfare support is also a first and people who skipped out last year are recognizing that the water is still fine and jumping into the pool anyway. Casuals just saw the low campaign reviews and stay away lol.
    I find it funny that despite the low reviews this ended up being my favorite CoD since MW2019. That's what people hopefully will remember years frrom now, cause I know I will.

    • @dodgeshadow099

      Improvement? How? Sounds like coping. Mw3 doesn’t really have a lot going on. Outside from the movement “improvements” Mw3 is a downgrade in terms of content, campaign and re-used assets from mw2. They are even adding 2022 mw2 maps in rotation to mw3 to add some variety to the lack of content of this game 🤣 let’s just accept that people who bought this call of duty are the same ones that buy it year after year no matter if it’s good or bad. People who do not really think twice. As long as it has a call of duty logo then they’ll buy it. Moreover, unlike mw3, mw2 was a complete game at launch. Mw3 is barely a dlc at this point.
