      I have to disagree :/ I loved it back in the day but playing it again now, you see they tried to balance it so much that you are always at a disadvantage if you don't use an ACR, unless you are good at sniping. the maps are abit meh too... don't get me wrong I still make content on it and can enjoy it

      ​@@ClassicCODI wouldn't say that about the ACR. Sure, its the best weapon in the game but nowhere near game breaking. The MP7 is pretty much at its tier and the Assault Rifles are in general not far off away from it. Its not like it was the MW1 M16 where there wasn't anything remotely close

    MW3 came out when I was in my freshman year in High School, I remember being so freaking hyped for it as I loved MW2 and Black Ops. I was in classes all day just staring at the clocks counting down the minutes until I could go home and play the next big CoD. And man did it live up to my hype levels and then some. Absolutely love MW3, probably a top 2 cod of all time to me.

    • @hazmatt3250

      Came out my freshman year, too. It was the last day of the Fall semester and I had 3 of my friends over to spend the night as an end-of-semester celebration. We went and watched a movie, came back, ordered Pizza Hut, then took turns playing Zombies on WAW. While we were eating my dad came in and put a gift sack down right in front of me. In it were Black Ops and MW3. We all got super hyped that night lol.
      I miss those times more than words can express.

    My favorite Cod!
    In general, the MW OG trilogy was the greatest moments of cod. Every single game was genera defining.
    Cod4 started modern Cod, MW2 started Killstreaks, MW3 was the first game to reward playing the objective + MOABs.
    After that, COD was a copy paste until 2019… and then 2019 became every Cod game till today.

    the original modern warfare trilogy was basically a playable action movie. tanks, helicopters, planes, and submarines, all in modern urban settings. it’s Michael Bay universe transformers just without the transformers. the black ops series has always been the hard hitting, “this is what war is actually like”, almost PTSD inducing series that made calls to real world events that real people could relate to. that being said: both original series are fantastic.

    This game is the definition of “perhaps I treated you too harshly”. Sure the style was copied from MW2 but the story ended so epically and bittersweet.

    My friend and I would each get friendly AI, (usually riot shielders because they were stronger) and they would actually be really useful in not only getting a lot of the enemy attention off of us but also were actually quite lethal fighters, I'll never forget when I watched my riot shielder solo a juggernaut and then triggered an execute animation when he won the fight.

    I Love MW22 as it’s probably the best “feeling” COD ever released but it really chose its audience without compromise along with being so short on content and the greed that followed the months after release. It was ruined and genuinely makes me sad. At the very least though the older games like MW3 and BO2 exist and won’t be touched anymore keeping them in a playable state unlike the last multiple CODs that become completely unlaunchable a year or two after release. Honestly I think MW3 is my favorite COD and the perks gotta be my favorite aspect. Assassin is overpowered but too much fun to give up!

  • @jamescarrino3696
    @jamescarrino3696 10 місяців тому

    Minor correction: MW2019 did bring Survival back but it sucked. Way too hard, time in between rounds was way too short, it's not available for every map, and it was version exclusive for PS4 for an entire year locked away in a sub-menu of Spec Ops mode. If they had just toned down the difficulty prior to moving on to Cold War, I could have seen it be a fun side-mode to do when Multiplayer was getting stale, but no.

    BO1 & 2 are my favorite CoD campaigns while MW 2 & 3 are my favorite multiplayer. MW3's survival mode remains my favorite survival/horde mode of any shooter. I thought CoD zombies mode was decent, but nothing more. I was more into Left 4 Dead, back then. Drop Zone's my favorite multiplayer mode. For me, the care packages were a big part of the fun so I didn't enjoy Hardpoint as much. Imo MW2 had the best maps, but I like MW3 more cuz of survival mode and drop zone. I so wish both featured bots, but that wasn't a standard feature 'til BO2. : (
    I do agree about the milking of the two sub-series. Treyarch's scared to move on from Black Ops. Post-lawsuit Infinity Ward failed twice with Ghosts & Infinite Warfare so they went back to Modern Warfare. Yawn! Ghosts' multiplayer sucked, but I'd really like a sequel for the campaign.
