A failure confirmed by statistics! COD: Modern Warfare 3 rated below Redfall, Forspoken and other Cod series games

As the last act of its own stupidity before being acquired by Microsoft, Activision decided to stain Call of Duty’s legacy as no one has yet seen. According to internal reports, Activision refused the proposed continuation of Advanced Warfare and forced SledgeHammer to develop a new campaign for Modern Warfare 3 in just 16 months. Initially, many said that this was just an extension for the game of the previous year, but later it was turned into "Full" Offer for $ 70.

Now that the multiplayer has joined the singleplayer already in the game itself, the reviews of reviews are also received. Result? Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 – the lowest game in the entire history of the series. And not just like that, but with a huge margin.

Analyzing the ratings of parts on Metacritic, Forbes correspondents noted that the 2023 shooter received the lowest grades for the entire existence of the series. (The results are presented in reverse chronological order, from new games to the old ones):

  • Modern Warfare III – 53
  • Modern Warfare II – 75
  • Vanguard – 73
  • Black Ops Cold War – 76
  • Modern Warfare – 80
  • Black OPS 4 – 83
  • WWII – 79
  • Infinite Warfare – 77
  • Black Ops III – 81
  • Advanced Warfare – 81
  • Ghosts – 78
  • Black Ops II – 81
  • Modern Warfare 3 – 88
  • Black Ops – 87
  • Modern Warfare 2 – 94
  • World at War – 84
  • Modern Warfare – 94
  • Call of Duty 3 – 82
  • Call of Duty 2 – 89
  • Call of Duty – 91

It is noteworthy that Modern Warfare III (2023) took the 195th place from 199 in the list of the best games for PlayStation 5 in 2023 according to critics! The shooter was even behind such loud failures as Redfall (56 points) and Forspoken (64 points).

This really should be a alarm for Microsoft, which needs to deal with this IP and get away from the crafting of Activision, which produces more and more terrible annual parts only in order to sell at least something during the holidays. Scores slowly rolling to the mark 70 – this is one. And here "53" with estimates of 1.4/10 is almost a crime, and the one who gave permission for this in Activision should be fired and replaced as soon as possible. Was it Bobby? Most likely it was Bobby.

If we talk about the reaction of the players to the game, then they were outraged by the fact that this, in fact, is a small addition, which is offered at the price of a full -fledged blockbuster. In addition, the game has a very short plot campaign with boring missions, mediocre zombies-mode, and not all customers liked the innovations in the multi-user mode. At the moment, only 28% of buyers recommend the game on Steam.
