Just because it's pro Battlefield :)
Hello! I felt like doing another review!
So I chose the Moist Anticipated Game in History: Modern Warfare 3.
As you may have figured out by now, I am completely biased against this game. So, I'm doing the best I can to come into this unbiased. It's gonna be hard.
But here we go.
I have no idea where to start :/
Perhaps why its the most anticipated game in history? Well, there's a lot reasons for it. It's a distinguished gaming franchise, that's churned out several quality games, leading to more fans. It's competed with Halo and Battlefield for tops in FPS, and has continued to do so ever since. It's action packed, incredibly fast paced, and it gives the player a sense of worth when they do good.
I became a fan of Call of Duty early on, but that's when I had the PS2 and only played the campaigns, which were really fun. Didn't play the multiplayer until World at War came out.
And quite honestly, the BIGGEST reason I got it was because of Nazi Zombies. I rarely played the online mulitplayer until MW2 came out, which I thought was a good game.
I kinda hopped onto the Black Ops band wagon, but the more I played it, the more I saw it was a terrible game. It was the first time I didn't play the campaign through, and the multiplayer was dreadful. It was probably the easiest game I've played online. Did it even require effort? I was consistently busting out 30-10, 40-8, and even some 50 kill matches. And that was consistently. It got boring. Then there was the obvious glaring problems with it.
The graphics.
The game play.
The cheaters.
The hackers.
The campers.
The noob toobers.
The little kids.
The lack of team work.
Just to name a few.
It was fun, considering it was easy. But just terrible.
Now, to MW3.
I'm going to talk about the graphics first off.
Before it was released, I saw some of the game play. Want to know my first thought was?
"This isn't MW3, this has got to be MW2, except I've never played this level before..."
The exact same engine as MW2, I though that was retarded.
I watched a pro MW3 video on YouTube, and the guy commented on the graphics saying, "MW3 graphics are exactly the same to Modern Warfare 2, but that's ok because Modern Warfare 2 was an excellent game."
You know what? It also came out TWO years ago. And the updated version looks exactly the same.
Sure its somewhat better, its a little more clear, better color, etc, but the same engine?
And the main menu is EXACTLY like MW2. They couldn't even change that up?
MW3 or MW2.1?
So in short, I hate the graphics.
Next, the game play.
Call of Duty has churned out very nice and fun shooter games, Run and gun. Which is fun, don't get me wrong. It's not that I don't think its not fun, it is. But I mean they've turned out the same game every year, just with different mods to it. And I honestly think that. Because of that, I honestly don't think MW3 was worth $60. Because its the same game. Just with different maps, guns, perks.
But the maps really annoyed me too. The first time I played MW3, I instantly recognized maps from MW2. I almost thought they were copies. I saw:
Favela
Rundown
Quarry
Derailed
Rust
Highrise
Skidrow
Scrapyard
Invasion
Karachi
All in MW3. Can we please have some map variety? I also was kinda annoyed at the Survival mode maps. They were the multiplayer maps. Its a brand new game type, couldn't they have put new maps to go with it?
Now the guns. I didn't really have too much problem with the guns.
Still kinda annoyed that Black Ops based their guns off airsoft guns. Yep, airsoft guns.
I don't think Modern Warfare 3 did, but still. Guns were pretty cool.
.............
Actually scratch that part about the guns.
I wrote that, then left to a friends, in which we played MW3.
The guns are, uhm, not ok anymore. When I played, I didn't experience any kick/recoil at all. Just aim and shoot, no need to account for recoil huh?
And the way they sounded. I almost faceplamed myself, just based on how they made the guns sound.
One sniper (can't remember at this point) sounded like something from Star Trek. It shot like this:
PEW PEW!
Like a laser. :/
Perks. Everyone's favorite. Made to make terrible players better, and the already good players annoying to play with. And I think as the perks get even more retarded as the games go on. There was that one perk everyone hated, but everyone used.
MW2: Commando
Black Ops: Ghost
I haven't exactly played MW3 enough to hate a perk, I just hate how they did the perks.
So apparently you can have like 8 perks at once? With the Specialist streak thingy at least.
And having multiple attachments doesn't need a perk anymore. Which, I can't decide if I like or not. :O
I've kinda always hated the perks, they didn't float with me.
Now the campaign.
Personally, if I did buy MW3, I would have because of the campaign, because they made it look sick. Obviously, I'm not stupid enough to buy a $60 just for the campaign.
I thought it looked sweet. America being invaded, Europe on its knees, it caught my attention.
But then I played it.
I found it incredibly easy. At one point, I was running down the middle of a firefight because NOBODY was shooting me.
The first level (The Wall Street one), I just picked apart while I'm playing it. First off, the very beginning. You have a gun with no clip or ammo in it, a team mate tosses one clip at you, and BOOM you got 600 shots. Which threw me off.
Secondly, the names. Sandman, was the most glaring one. I thought that they came up with the most childish names for the characters. Then it hit me. 95% of Call Of Duty players are like 10 years old. At least they realized what their audience is consisted of.
Thirdly, the helicopters. During the helicopter "fight" from the first level, you are in a Black Hawk. A troop transport. And you have to kill like 5 enemy Attack helicopters. And they're Russian. I don't think a troop transport could take down 5 attack helicopters. And then there is how the helicopters died. They all were shot down in the exact same way. They all had an explosion in the tail, then spun out of control. No matter where you hit them, the tail would blow up. And the last one, shot down like the other four, randomly launches it self at your helicopter, crash into your tail, head on, then blows up. But don't worry. You had a German helicopter, so you helicopter is perfectly fine. Which I thought was stupid. And its in New York, so you know, hundreds of buildings, and you're unloading with a chain gun. No destruction. At all. That made me :(
Now the next level, with the navy seals. It was pretty cool, until you get to the Russian submarine. Then it got sketch. I'm just gonna skip to the cut scene when you shoot the missiles. But the action until then is generic Call of Duty. Well the cut scene is when you and your squad, get to control room of the main submarine, and hijack its missile system to shoot the missiles at the Russian's own fleet. My first thought, "Good thing the Russians have their cruise missiles already programmed to bomb their own fleet." Because I'm pretty sure a navy seal couldn't hack a Russian submarine to reprogram its missiles. Think about it.
Not gonna happen. And it said that the single Russian sub had enough missiles to wipe out the ENTIRE east coast of the US. I was shocked, because when it shows the missiles shooting, it shoots off maybe 10 at the max. :/ Not enough to wipe out the entire east coast.
Now my favorite, the level on the airplane. It gets hijacked by terrorists, then blows up.
But its ok, you survive. Along with everyone else that was on the plane.
It starts off with terrorists hijacking the plane, but there's a lot. I mean a lot. Which is surprising, considering the Russian President himself was on the plane. Psh, they don't need security. The Russian version of the sweater vest is bullet proof. So they good.
I would be ok with maybe 10 terrorists getting on. But there was like 30. Bull crap!
And when the plane is shot in half, you are literally feet away from the breaking point, you could touch the outside of the plane you were so close. But you don't get sucked out.
???????????????????????
And then the plane crashes. But everyone survives. I mean everyone. Nobody dies, except for maybe the minor character. *Sigh*
That was me playing the campaign. It was good, I guess, for Call of Duty standards. You didn't have to think about it, you just did. Kinda like Transformers. Its a great movie for action and stuff, but if you honestly think about it, none of it makes any sense.
My final honest verdict on the game: 4/10.
Honestly, that is completely unbiased. I don't see much of a difference, besides the customization and survival mode, from Modern Warfare 2. I think its the exact same game. Which is why it didn't win any awards, and BF3 won 60+. (That might have been biased:).
In short, Call of Duty will be nothing more than an arcade game. You can't really improve an arcade game.
As one YouTuber commented:
"Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary changed more from Halo: CE the original than Modern Warfare 3 changed from Modern Warfare 2."
It's funny because Halo: CEA tried to be the exact same.
MW3 didn't :)
Wow.
I just re read this and realized I wrote this completely biased against it.
But trust me, every word is true. If not, pick up the controller and experience it for yourself.
And if you don't have MW3, that's ok. I'm sure you have MW2.
They are pretty much the same thing.
