Why Was Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 SO MEDIOCRE?!

- Modern Warfare 3 wasn't exactly 'well-received' by fans, although it was loved by critics. For a lot of gamers, this was the beginning of the end of the 'Good Ol' Days' for Call of Duty. But how has the game aged now? And what can we learn from it with hindsight as our ally? What did this game to right and wrong? Only one way to find out....

This game is definitely divisive. At the time it came out, I really didn't like it but now I have been enjoying the game so much, in fact I tried going back to play Black Ops 4 multiplayer and couldn't finish a match because the maps and gameplay are so boring to me now. Idk man, I'm very mixed on Modern Warfare 3 so don't take it the wrong way if you think I'm too harsh on it. It is a fun game nonetheless.

Act Man is best game reviewer on CZcams.
I dunno on black ops 4 I can still have a fun game playing as specter but I guess your right it does have some very boring map design
Act man strikes again!
I hope in the next few years we don't say IW is better than cod in the future"if you know what i mean"

I want a remaster of this game so badly. I LOVE the campaign.
They won't do so, for some damned reason
If they just upgraded the engine to the MW2019 one at that time then MW3 should have been one of the best games in history
If they do, I wish they would remaster the hole package, not just the campaign

Makarov imo is actually the best COD villain. He's the ONLY one who's actually scary and makes you want too kill him in the end. Shepherd came close but it was more the betrayal and murder of ghost that made it so brutually sad but I think makrov does a good job at being the actual big bad guy. Adored his voice acting. And that ending oof. It's never felt so satisfying getting revenge in a video game
I didn't want to kill Makarov. I wanted to side with him..such a charismatic villain and he would have made a great new empire. Also the entire NYC mission seemed fake..I don't believe it's that easy to turn a submarines missiles on its one fleet.

Proceeds to make an hour long documentary about how fantastic of a game it was.
apart from the many criticisms he has
The main reason it was mediocre was due to familiarity and felt like a carbon copy to MW2
@@tor112233 id say the time he spent listing/mentioning the positives outweighs the time spent listing/mentioning the negatives/mediocre
I mean it’s hard to actually hate the game. It’s not doing anything wrong other than not differentiating hard enough from the previous MW games. When you’re spending 60-80$ for a game (on top of paid DLC), people expect it to be worth it and considering how little time there was between the MW games on top of black ops having such variety and sense of personalized style to it unlike the Grey and browns of the Modern warefare games which is a hard to personalize, i don’t blame the folks who sniffed their noses at it and either stucked with MW2 or looked elsewhere.
I also don’t think it was the right decision to simply neuter a series’s multiplayer for the sake of “balance”. Balance should be tertiary to priority number 1: MAKE IT FUN, and priority number 2: MAKE IT FUNCTIONAL. That doesn’t mean they didn’t have no reason to tighten up some of the really messed up problems in MW2 or other CoD multiplayers but it’s never a good idea to simply take away what people had fun with or insisting on making the players play the way the developers want you to play it. At that point, you’re just inviting people to stick to the previous games since if everything else is basically the same Except the balance, why move on to MW3?
It’s mainly the similarities to MW3 that made it mediocre.
"Why Was Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 SO MEDIOCRE?!"
*provides 50 minutes of evidence showing why it's not*
pawtucketpanda yea it’s so much better than the rest
:V you wanna play a motherfuckin zombie game!?
Upon rewatching it seems the game is labeled based on it's "Mediocre" campaign while it's multiplayer and co-op offerings were in peak form at the time. He goes on to argue that MW3 is essentially still the platue for military shooters set in modern times.
It's more like
Why was MW3 so good...where the multiplayer levels the campaign. You can see he hints toward it being 'meh' at release but justifiable later on as you play,better then what came out later but still exhausting the franchise name
*Says there is no Difference in Graphics Compared Makarov from MW3 to MW2 look at the huge difference in characters. This dude has no idea what the fuck he is talking about.*
Modern Warfare 3 wasn't mediocre, it was simply amazing. Critics were right for loving it.
My first cod and it was a good one
@@TheBBCSlurpee Same, and my favourite in the trilogy overall
The hate just comes from mw2 fanboys
The hate was justified because it was too similar but i still enjoyed it for what it was worth.
If MW3 had the maps of MW2, it would be the greatest CoD of all time.
Coming back to this after MWIII ('23)
"Perhaps I've judged you too harshly."
2011: "You want two attachments, go earn it"
2019: You want two attachments, go buy it.
Yeah, black ops 1 and 2...
2019 more like: You want two attachments? How about five?
Bo1: u want two attachments? Well u gonna have to buy them and then buy a perk to use said attachments
Bo2: u want 2 attachments? Well go ahead but watch out for that pick 10 system and if u want go for 3 or u could put 2 on ur side arm, or u could do both but with pick 10 u can only hav like 1 perk

Sucks how the whole monenization got out of hands eh? Least back in the day we didn't need to pay more for shit, we only need to play to earn stuff on those games' MP portions.
I had no idea people didn’t like this game. It’s one of my favourites honestly, along with MW2.
Yeah it doesn't really make sense they say it just a mw2 copie but with just a bunch of minor improvements but how does that it worse than mw2
Not everyone going to like it that's how it is with gaming there always going to be games that peiple will not like even if the game is loved there will always be a minority or players that will not like it that's gaming no game is perfect. Same thing with the witcher 3 there people I k ow who don't like it as much as or even red dead redemption 2 really some people I met say it's ok I was like ok if that's what you think. That's gaming for you. Loved or hated even games that are hated by gamers there will always be a majority that will play it and like it.
This was definitely my favorite cod of all time
Right?? I LOVE this game
And it's my most played game of the 360 cod games
MW3 Was kinda broken at launch which wasn't great, I enjoyed the game and didn't realise its just a rehash of MW2.
Isn’t it crazy how one conflict completely changes the believability of a faction in a game

My point is, mw3 being similar to mw2 isn't a bad thing, it's a good thing

Game critics are hard to please sometimes. Nostalgia goggles can never be penetrated.
Yes. Bring back MW2.1

>mw3 is similar to said amazing game
>this makes mw3 bad

"Don't do anything stupid, let them pass"
I LOVED MW3 SO MUCH WHEN IT CAME OUT. that’s why it was the biggest selling cod ever. It’s just so damn dope… it was so fucking good man. The multiplayer and campaign was so damn good…. It was so beautiful. Fun to play. Guns were so dope to shoot.
For real it's a great game, specialist is the best thing to come to cod and needs to come back. Sniping was also very rewarding
MW3 lobbies were beyond amazing.
It sucked. Some of the worst maps and loadouts.
BO1 is the best selling COD game.
It’s great but it’s still eerily similar to mw2
Anyone here after seeing the abomination that is Call of Duty MWIII and now waiting for The Act Man to review it?
The main reason mw3 wasn’t as popular is because the extremely high bar mw2 set. Nowadays i would LOVE to be playing mw3 again.

There's actually something about the story especially at the end that i think the developer's were attempting but most people actually didn't notice. Yuri was there in almost every important event in Makarov's plans. Doesn't that sound similar? Yuri was Makarov's Soap. The devs just failed to emphasize on that.
The fact that this game took roughly half the time that the 2023 MWIII took to make and the 2011 version turned out way better is shocking
I swear everyone forgets Nikolai is the only other person to survive the entire trilogy and the impact of kamarov in the series before he was setup
Fact check true man. Nikolai was critical and because Kamarov was responsible for saving Nikolai, he is just as critical
FACTUAL!
I think the argument is that Nicolai isn't seen during missions, only cutscenes. I could be wrong I haven't played the MW series in years
@@nscaocnjs He's seen in missions in the first half of cod4, is the guy flying the plane near the end of mw2 right after Shephard's true colors are revealed, and is seen in India and heard during the final mission in mw3.

I always thought the "Objective Failed" was such a nice touch to this scene. It really helps to demonstrate Makarovs power, and the fact that it's the only time in the trilogy you see that red text makes it stand out even more.

One thing that was really disappointing about the mw3 campaign to me was how it felt like they removed so many things from mw2's campaign, like claymores, heartbeat sensors, riot shields, dual-wielding, thermal weapons, etc. It makes the weapon sandbox feel sort of empty.
but this shows you can’t please everyone, if they kept those items people might have complained that they overused them, or didn’t add enough new content
@@silasfish5379 True. A game campaign should not feel the same as the other, and those COD games isn't a sandbox game, is a linear game. I played through the MW2 and MW3 and I felt that the level design is awesome and the story aswell. Epic finale.
Might be an unpopular opinion but i feel that mw3 sacrificed this for more different types of gameplay. You have the ac130, the mini tank, the chopper and tank sections, the car chase. Was just a few nice changes of pace from juat going down corridors shooting people

One of my favorite touches of the part of turbulence where makarov pops out of the door, is where in red letters it says “Objective failed” all you did was follow the sequence but this isn’t like the other games where everything sorts itself out by the end of the mission. Then it’s like no matter what you do, you just can’t do right, you follow what you’re told in the clock tower, and soap ends up dying while also thinking you’re sabotaging the team, and soap died thinking you were a traitor, which makes price question your intentions

In older cods the teams would be balanced to have all types of skill ranges because it prioritised connection above skill. I can hop on to mw2 and find a lobby with a couple actually good players and some shit players on both teams. In recent years its like they throw all the sweats on to one team and have a mixed bag on the other
Oh shit. History repeats itself.

@@JackyWacky-871 Can you just let the bloody comment be itself!

JakeAce I don’t hate the MW2 campaign, but I do think it could’ve been done better. Especially because the whole conflict of the story is based on the confusing plot hole in No Russian
JakeAce nah it didn’t. Campaign wasn’t as good as cod4. And the multiplayer was so broken

Specialist is and will always be my fav killstreak. The feeling you get when you got the special bonus at 8kills, you feel like a god! It gave you all weapon proficiencies so you're so good!
I fucking loved survival man, still remembered playing that with my bro while screaming at each other to kill the juggernaut lol
ravey23 me to man! When I'm bored play survival on MW3.
Survival on that one train station map was the fucking best
Survival was just amazing.

MW3 was MW2 cleaned up.
21:00 I'm always impressed at the detail that accompany the visuals : the fact that you have this lamenting music playing but can hear the wire Makarov is hanging from as it twists and strains - and all the foley of pieces of glass and debris sliding off of you as you struggle to get up, they really maximized the weight of this sequence 👍

This really seem to be a “Why MW3 was so AWESOME” video except a few minutes
well because it was. It had better multiplayer than MW2, better spec ops and it had survival on top of that.
@@badass6300 this is Debatable
But for some reason I find both mw2 and 3 are Equally fun.
@@badass6300 i respect your opinion but i agree with the guy below your comment its a debatable topic i personally love mw2 alot more
@@name-yk3de I think mw3 edges put mw2 because the campaign was so good. And it felt like there was more guns and modes
@@name-yk3de if they removed all the bullshit from MW2 and balanced the weapons, then I'd enjoy it as much as MW3, I'd even tolerate the 5-6 campers per lobby.

I've been watching your videos fora few days now and wanted to say it's a breath of fresh air watching videos this long where all or at least most of the footage is actually your own. Most reviewers now just seem to loop trailer footage in the background.

The lesson MW3 was trying to teach was that war is not pretty wether that be on the campaign or the MP or the spec ops it just says DONT THINK WAR IS COOL
@@SaintTheNightstalker Which is cool and all but its still an arcade video game at the end of the day lol. the MP maps couldve been a lot better and then leave the campaign darker. I enjoyed the game regardless though

The part where sandman stays in the cave is amazing and actually sad because that crew is super likable
It was badass, recently replayed it. If you watch each one they do all these awesome things
Dank-Da-Memes they all had like special moves
I still liked sas and maybe even marines
Honestly it was so fun to do missions as a mix of special operations troops and average soldiers in massive counter attacks during the campaign, my favourite mission by far is the assault of Hamburg, the scale of the fighting in that mission was incredible and I was in a state of awe at the tanks and infantry as I pushed through from beaches in a d-day style landing with helicopters and boats. the street fighting with tanks being knocked out by AT fire and the sheer ferociousness of the combat was just sublime
man. this aged poorly.
Mw1: best campaign
Mw2: best multiplayer
Mw3: best spec. Ops
The spec ops mode was so lit.
Mw3 multiplayer > mw2's
Mw2 SpecOps > mw3's
Nah the specs ops in mw2 was better. Survival was the shit in mw3
Mw3 multi was better imo

In Modern Warfare 2, Corporal Dunn basically asked: "when are we going to Moscow?" That should have been Modern Warfare 3, fighting in the Kremlin and the Red Square.
I know right, it's the one missed opportunity.
Indeed
Still waiting for that certain time for when it is right.
Technically we did take the fight to them but the us and the other allies stayed in Europe, heck what they could have done is have delta capture the chemical specialist and when they do you have to go back to friendly line and before its over you and your forces have to fight the russian at the border.
It could be mw4, let’s not forget there still is a war raging between the US and Russia

Soap dying in this was way more tragic in this then the recent modern warfare 3 in my opinion.
All games before COD Ghosts were amazing and a wonderful part of my childhood.
The golden age is 2007-2012. In my opinion MW3 was a stone game and is a part of the good days
For me 2007-2013. Ghosts I didn’t like at the time it came out, but looking back at it I actually quite enjoyed it. AW was the first game that didn’t interest me in the slighest (because of the exo mechanics which apparently reappeared in every single game since, except for wwii which was just bad anyway).
For me it was 2005-2009. COD2, MW1, WaW (well, i don't like that much WaW, but i get why many people do) and MW2. With another small period when Black Ops 2 was around (MP was great, and the campaign did a bit more than just recycle the mw formula like the first BOps).
I wish i could say COD1 too but i didn't play it at the time (the game is great tho).
From there i don't really think the franchise was ever as good. Enjoyable?, yeah sure, but not great like those days when the OG Infinity Ward was around (and Treyarch atleast tried to do interesting stuff like zombies or the bo2 campaign).
Ghost still better than every cod after it
901_gamer
You're not wrong. Ghosts isn't the best by far but it outclasses every subsequent CoD. It gets too much hate.
Whats the shittiest Cod...
I understand the criticism of wanting the sequel to be different, but honestly I don't give three shits that the UI and menus look the same in 3 as in 2. Why fix what isn't broken?
Exactly. Look at BO3 and BO4 haha literally the same game still had BO3 killstreak names show up! They broke the fuck out of ui!
Thank you 🙏
Preach.. Like i dont get why that's a problem.
He is biased against the game, he even admitted it.
@@DraxixDude He also praised aspects of it. So what?
this game is a masterpiece compared to the new one
Now lets compare from new to old and see which one did better
I actually loved the familiarity between MW2 and MW3. Some of the points you brought up were very valid, but as a kid, I never minded, and just REALLY enjoyed the improvements to the game. In fact, I might even have the most hours from the COD series in MW3.
Agreed!
Yep I feel the same way
literally me word for word
I loved all the menu's being the same, they were damn near perfect In mw2, so why fix what ain't broke? I will admit new reload animations would have been cool tho.
I never minded the similarities either.
HOW did he not talk about the “down the rabbit hole “ story mission (the one where all delta force members die ) ??? It was really great and heartbreaking
Frost(the Delta Force PC) doesn't die, he just vanishes and doesn't appear in Down the Rabbit Hole
A Huge Moth Maybe he got an honorable discharge... for some reason
Maybe he had a concussion back at Berlin because of the building. Prove me wrong if I am.
Joshua Orejenes I just checked the Wiki. It said that Frost was moved from Metal Zero 1 (The Delta Force Members) to Metal Zero 4
@@nicholas_gurr y tho?
