Davenport, FL | MW3 campaign - worth it or no? You'd think this be an easy question to get an answer to, but it's also frustrating with the phenomena that the game has created for itself. Basically, no review that I'd been able to find in print or such even so much as talks about the singleplayer/campaign of modern warfare 3, and whether it's any good, instead basing their ratings and recommendations entirely on the multiplayer... which in no uncertain words, is the mode I resent the most of the game.
I've no desire to be made to pay for a Gold membership just to babysit a bunch of tweenies spamming bieber music on their mic's or getting stuck with MLG wannabe assholes that use every in-built sploit in modern warfare's bug-tastic netcode to grind for prestige. The only thing that ever attracted me in the CoD franchise has always been the campaign, and the only one that's held up thus far, is still CoD4, that I've played.
So, it's real simple... is the campaign in MW3 worth playing? Why or why not?

| The MW3 campaign is not good as MW1. But if you have played WM1 and WM2, you will not want to miss this one. |

If all you want is single player then MW3 is a rental, and not a buy. It's decently fun, but not much replay value unless you want to beat it on veteran for the achievement. Even then, that's not fun is just a tedious grind. |

Davenport, FL | I pretty much started out on veteran... so I'm aware it's a pretty fiendish grind... but it was more obviously so on MW2 than the first one.
I suppose then I could ask if Battlefield 3's campaign is worth playing or not. It's ironic that it took CoD4 to make me realize how sick I was of WW2 shooters... now I can't seem to find anything that would hold up to the quality in its campaign anymore.  All anybody ever talks about anymore is the multiplayer, which gets old faster than deli bread out of its wrapper.

I have not played the MW3 campaign yet but will soon. The BF3 campaign is pretty good. Even on Hard it is still easy especially if you are use to playing Veteran on COD. I would say it is a little short but that is how most shooters are these days. I probably beat it in 6 to 7 hours.

The campaign is good but not great. And its definitely not worth buying solely for single player. Like all previous CoD versions, the meat is in the multiplayer, and even then... that "meat" is still literally the same old crap gamers get fed every single year w/this franchise.
All that aside, I've personally felt that MW3 is a rental overall... period. There just isn't enough innovation in the multiplayer to warrant buying the game since it's literally the same as every Modern Warfare game before it. And the single player, although good isn't great by any means whatsoever. Despite the scenes and story being different, I can't but constantly feel like "I've played this before" or "What just happened might have been exciting 3 or 4 years ago, but now? Not so much."
Frankly, I don't know how so many gamers continually get sucked into buying these Call of Duty/Modern Warfare games. They are basically, not basically, ARE the same games produced over and over again with little to no innovation over the previous version. But yet gamers continue to pay over and over again. And rewarding these game studios for mediocre, un-innovative and repetitive work with millions, if not billions in revenue.
For the last 5+ years, Activision has been working the gaming public like a fiddle. They literally have it down to a science. If they create a CoD/MW game, they will rake in nearly a billion or more dollars. Even if it so closely resembles the last game and probably contains 99% the exact same code as the last game they will still manage to sell 10+ million copies. They have multiple development studios pumping out games every single year because they know sheep will just continue to buy. Sadly, even if gamers are knowingly aware that they are buying the exact same game as they did 9 months ago. |
