People be like: "Mw2 was amazing" Then say: "Mw3 is bad because it was too similar to mw2" 8 years later: "We want the old cod back" My point is, mw3 being similar to mw2 isn't a bad thing, it's a good thing
It’s genuinely surprising that this game was so hated at launch. I was one of the players that started playing COD with this game and black ops way before I even had proper internet. I remember playing the campaign over and over again because of how exciting it was. And maxing out spec ops long before I could even touch multiplayer. This game will always hold a special place in my heart

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?
I grinded the hell out of spec ops with a couple buddies and my brother. I still remember they'd always give my $5000 in game so I could buy them Slight of Hand since you had to be level 50 in order to buy it. I had no idea MW3 was divisive
14:42 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. GG, Infinity Ward.
Yeah, I personally thought that seeing the words "Objective Failed." objectively was the biggest middle finger I had ever seen in my life. To do what you think would be right, actually ends up being wrong. Have to say though, opening that door and then being punched in the face by Price was a little bit of a shock after knowing that Soap knew that Yuri was tied to Makarov one way or another.
that isn't how it feels, that's pretty much *exactly how it IS...* only new modern titles I've purchased are the following: squad, post scriptum & insurgency: sandstorm! those are the only completely modern shooters I'll ever play, can't pay to advance yourself ahead of others & pay to hold and continue to hold an edge over anyone in these games, theyre ALL totally reliant on your skill and more importantly, how well and effectively you can communicate with your squad-mates/teammates. plus the community for squad and PS are literally the best for any game, let alone FPS I've ever experienced. only ran into one asshole in squad and one dickheaded garbage at trolling troll in PS and I've been playing both games for like 5 or 6 months now. fuck cod, play squad! ayyyyeeee that rhymed!! ;)

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.
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.
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 been thinking the same. Every story like this involving the russians are just Laughable now that they have shown how weak they truly are. Slava Ukraini

This game took place in 2016 and was released in 2011. Best futuristic call of duty Edit: woah mind if I ACT like an idiot and say thanks for this comment milestone.
MW3 was one of my favorites and I rarely see it "loathed by fans". The campaign was a great ending to the trilogy and the multiplayer was up there with MW2 imo.
It received quite a lot of hate. It had a pretty bad launch with no cheat protection and it had bad user reviews. However it is still the cod title that sold the most copies and my all time favourite.
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.
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
Loved MW3 and used to play it almost daily at my friends house in split screen. We spent an unholy amount of time in survival mode, infected and MITD. Shame that I haven't seen any of the newer COD games feature MITD.
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.*
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?
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.
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.
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
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
I thought there was never an issue with the Nuke. I mean seriously 25 KILLS without dying once? I always thought that ending the game and have your team win even if they were behind was a worthy reward for people skilled enough to get that many kills without dying.
Getting a nuke in MW2 wasn't an accomplishment of any skill, all you had to do was boost to get it and during the peak of the game's popularity that was probably 80-90% of the way the nuke's were accomplished in the matches I played. All you had to do is get one other person and each with a tactical insertion and go off to a secluded part of the map and then just have one shoot the other and keep spawning in front of each other while the one gets unlimited kills. Then since you're in a party you just take turns killing each other each match so you can each get a nuke. There is a reason booster hunting became a popular thing to do during that time and there were tons of YT videos of people doing it.
Fans: *want developers to take all the best from the previous game and put it into the next game* Also fans: AAAH THIS EVERYTHING WAS IN THE LAST GAME AND NOTHING MORE!!!!!!!! "11!1!11

We were having mw3 tournaments every weekend, anyway i now think we didnt properly appreciate MW3 when it was new. Good COD!
woah more than a decade later and the new modern warfare 3 is the same update to modern warfare 2 except it's just a below average, mediocre game, wow what a time loop!
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
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).
"Mw3 didn't provide new and unique game modes " Infected All or nothing Team defender MITD All the community playslist lol . Mw3 is probably top 3 for me .
@@PP7Silenced true. Team defender is my favorite game mode . I had so much fun finding new set ups to defend and keep the flag . Riot shields. Exposives. I remember it got crazy af !!
I can see that infected wasn't really an original mode,but your arguement stands for the other modes. I guess the issue is that though it provided some new modes that weren't really creative...Rather just few changes to existing ones (which includes infected)
I was one of the rare people who played black ops as my first call of duty and then Mw3 as my second. I thought this game was a masterpiece, but I know why people don’t like it
It's because fans at the time felt that the game was far too similar to mw2, and like act man said, it felt unoriginal in a lot of ways, and didnt do many special things, aside from spec ops. I also think it was good, but people at the time had a good reason to hate it, even if it wasnt bad
Lol no, he just really loved the game back in the day and Nikolai made the joke that M3rk would bumrush Act Man with his thoughts on it. (Unless he decides to milk it, then that'd be interesting to see.)
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
I never thought this was mediocre. In fact it was actually my first call of duty and will always be my favorite. Even though I mostly play zombies now.
Whatever your first cod game was will always be one of your favorites. That’s basically how the entirety of the cod community is when they determine their favorite cod games
@@glctcthnkr8059 the first Black Ops was my first COD. It’s still my favorite to this day but MW2 is a close second. MW2 is the first MW game I played oddly. Then again I was a little kid who didn’t care about the story too much. Recently went back and played MW1 and 2 with the remasters and I love them so much. But since BO1 was my first, I have to say it’s my favorite. So much time spent playing zombies and I played the campaign over and over again, beating it on veteran as just a little kid. Such a good game. So many good memories in Kino Der Toten.
I miss the survival mode, I only ever played with my siblings and maybe a cousin but that mode was like a crate of freshly baked apples on my lap to me, I found the hold overs Performing Male pointed out were a great tie in to the survival aspect of the mode, by the fact that you can have less than multiplayer and still fighting the enemy to a standstill is amazing.
Infected was awesome. It was always a blast on Terminal holding out with 2-3 teammates in the back of the map behind the metal detectors against all of the other players, hoping you weren't next from a throwing knife. I always ran out of ammo which was my downfall lol.
I remember thinking that it was a mediocre MW2 rehash, but I played it anyways because all of my friends did. I miss it because of the experience playing with my high school friends, but not so much because of the game itself.
Yeah, COD become a downfall, people lost their minds for no reason when a new one came out year after year they only focus on graphics instead of scripting and storytelling. Screw that game! Sucked balls, its worse than Ghosts and Vanguard.
Maybe because at that time we had higher expectations. And people didnt like that it was a Mw2.5 But you can debate me considering the fact that WaW is Basicly COD4 WWII Mod.
Mw3 Campaign: Strong moments and likeable characters Multiplier really good Spec-ops : Expanded and has the biggest repayability to this day (ngl) So for me it's kinda an awesome because even if the campaign doesn't have that much intention to replay it you can at least play it once and get out of it without regrets Ofc I agree with the similarities and the arguments that you make and I am not denying them ofc. Just my opinion. See ya actman
Campaign for me is dissapointing. Neither good nor terrible. Sure the story is good, but they made the gameplay worse. The gun variety and paths are very limited and enemy snipers are non existent during rush combat.
@@govinlock8568 yeah. Like almost every mission is just constant shooting. In the mission when your in Africa, I was excited that there was going to be a stealth mission, but then you have to to loud, then single handedly kill their entire militia. Story was good, bu the gameplay was just so damn mindless.
Back then it pretty much was the same as mw2, and it was the 3rd modern warfare, so people even before it came out really wanted to hate it, and they actually had good reason to this time, even though now we all know how good it is, but compared to the rest of them back then it wasn't all that
@@Chimera144 honestly, the character was a gift from a friend I met back in high school, and I figured if I could trigger judgemental fools like you then it was worth running as a full profile. I mean, shit man... if you're gonna do something for the troll value, might as well go balls to the wall
I really wish they kept this "middle of the road" approach to the multiplayer. The defensive killstreaks were great. It didn't matter if you were good or not, you were still helping the team with your kill rewards. Wish they brought this back.
And now COD devs make it easier for shit players by punishing the actual good players with heavy Skill Based Matchmaking. They had the formula for success right in their hands but the franchise became an inconsistent mess 2013 and beyond

In recent years its like they throw all the sweats on to one team and have a mixed bag on the other
MW3 had a necessary story to add because we still had to take down Makorav and some pretty touching moments and explains Yuri’s role in the No Russian Mission. Survival was also great

It’s genuinely surprising that this game was so hated at launch. I was one of the players that started playing COD with this game and black ops way before I even had proper internet. I remember playing the campaign over and over again because of how exciting it was. And maxing out spec ops long before I could even touch multiplayer.

Act Man: Why was MW3 so mediocre?
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.
I'm gonna be honest. This game was truly one of my favorites. I remember grinding spec ops with my dad, good times.
me too man, me too
fr ! great game
I grinded the hell out of spec ops with a couple buddies and my brother. I still remember they'd always give my $5000 in game so I could buy them Slight of Hand since you had to be level 50 in order to buy it. I had no idea MW3 was divisive

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.
GG, Infinity Ward.
Yeah, that caught my attention immediately it makes you go "Oh, shit." it was perfect.
Yup.
Loveshank imagine if it wasn’t in slo mo.
Yeah, I personally thought that seeing the words "Objective Failed." objectively was the biggest middle finger I had ever seen in my life. To do what you think would be right, actually ends up being wrong.
Have to say though, opening that door and then being punched in the face by Price was a little bit of a shock after knowing that Soap knew that Yuri was tied to Makarov one way or another.

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
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

@@untouchable7024 MW3 was more balanced so it’s harder IMO
Getting a nuke in MW2 wasn't an accomplishment of any skill, all you had to do was boost to get it and during the peak of the game's popularity that was probably 80-90% of the way the nuke's were accomplished in the matches I played. All you had to do is get one other person and each with a tactical insertion and go off to a secluded part of the map and then just have one shoot the other and keep spawning in front of each other while the one gets unlimited kills. Then since you're in a party you just take turns killing each other each match so you can each get a nuke. There is a reason booster hunting became a popular thing to do during that time and there were tons of YT videos of people doing it.
It would have been more balanced in mw2 if it was gun streaks only. For the nuke, anyway.

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).

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

I never thought this was mediocre. In fact it was actually my first call of duty and will always be my favorite. Even though I mostly play zombies now.
Whatever your first cod game was will always be one of your favorites. That’s basically how the entirety of the cod community is when they determine their favorite cod games
Mine too bro !
Me to my cod MW3 was my introduction to the call of duty series I also have black ops 2 but I always play mw3 survival
Cod 4 was my first ever cod mw3 was second
@@glctcthnkr8059 the first Black Ops was my first COD. It’s still my favorite to this day but MW2 is a close second. MW2 is the first MW game I played oddly. Then again I was a little kid who didn’t care about the story too much. Recently went back and played MW1 and 2 with the remasters and I love them so much. But since BO1 was my first, I have to say it’s my favorite. So much time spent playing zombies and I played the campaign over and over again, beating it on veteran as just a little kid. Such a good game. So many good memories in Kino Der Toten.
It was mediocre back then but now we all miss it I think
Especially infected
I miss the survival mode, I only ever played with my siblings and maybe a cousin but that mode was like a crate of freshly baked apples on my lap to me, I found the hold overs Performing Male pointed out were a great tie in to the survival aspect of the mode, by the fact that you can have less than multiplayer and still fighting the enemy to a standstill is amazing.
Infected was awesome. It was always a blast on Terminal holding out with 2-3 teammates in the back of the map behind the metal detectors against all of the other players, hoping you weren't next from a throwing knife. I always ran out of ammo which was my downfall lol.
Infected private server everyday after school
I remember thinking that it was a mediocre MW2 rehash, but I played it anyways because all of my friends did.
I miss it because of the experience playing with my high school friends, but not so much because of the game itself.
Bread beacause the new games are absolute garbage and our anti-consumer
This game seems like a masterpiece now compared to the new MW3. I'm happy the original exists, so I can forget the new one.
Yeah, when I play all these old games, I always think: "at least they can't take this from us".
Yeah, COD become a downfall, people lost their minds for no reason when a new one came out year after year they only focus on graphics instead of scripting and storytelling.
Screw that game! Sucked balls, its worse than Ghosts and Vanguard.
@MarkJacksonvl-lb6rm more like cod is seemingly leaning into more fortnite aspects, it lost its soul.
Now we just need them to release Modern Warfare 3 Remastered
Mw3 was fun asf. I don’t understand how you people didn’t have fun on there.
Maybe because at that time we had higher expectations.
And people didnt like that it was a
Mw2.5
But you can debate me considering the fact that WaW is Basicly COD4 WWII Mod.
CG Guapo I like it but think in 2011 it was bad. It felt like mw2 just worse

Me seeing a prequel meme is a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.
Nice reference
Mw3
Campaign: Strong moments and likeable characters
Multiplier really good
Spec-ops : Expanded and has the biggest repayability to this day (ngl)
So for me it's kinda an awesome because even if the campaign doesn't have that much intention to replay it you can at least play it once and get out of it without regrets
Ofc I agree with the similarities and the arguments that you make and I am not denying them ofc. Just my opinion. See ya actman
Survival mode is so dope
Campaign for me is dissapointing. Neither good nor terrible. Sure the story is good, but they made the gameplay worse. The gun variety and paths are very limited and enemy snipers are non existent during rush combat.
@@govinlock8568 yeah. Like almost every mission is just constant shooting. In the mission when your in Africa, I was excited that there was going to be a stealth mission, but then you have to to loud, then single handedly kill their entire militia. Story was good, bu the gameplay was just so damn mindless.
@@funnyman5254 well its always been like this in the mw trilogy, its the same as killing an entire militia single handedly in two mw2 missions
Back then it pretty much was the same as mw2, and it was the 3rd modern warfare, so people even before it came out really wanted to hate it, and they actually had good reason to this time, even though now we all know how good it is, but compared to the rest of them back then it wasn't all that
Just had a hell of a fun time replaying the campaign this weekend. Always loved this trilogy! Soap's a damn legend - RIP my man.
Did anyone else love how you could call in reinforcements in spec ops
I always found it funny how overlord couldn't send a chopper to pull us out but could send reinforcements on a chopper to help us

I really wish they kept this "middle of the road" approach to the multiplayer. The defensive killstreaks were great. It didn't matter if you were good or not, you were still helping the team with your kill rewards. Wish they brought this back.
And now COD devs make it easier for shit players by punishing the actual good players with heavy Skill Based Matchmaking. They had the formula for success right in their hands but the franchise became an inconsistent mess 2013 and beyond
@@Mr.Murphy2802 SBMM has been in CoD for over a decade and still one of the top franchises. Imagine being stupid enough to think that SBMM makes or breaks a game
@@NakedSpaceMan it can exist in COD but the level of SBMM in recent games is just borderline cancerous. You can go one game absolutely shit stomping noobs but then be put in a lobby with low kd players against real sweats. It also doesn't help the fact that the system is mostly like this due to warzone and its matchmaking
@@Mr.Murphy2802 So...it's completely random based on your skill range. Like CBMM would be. Sounds to me like you're just bad sometimes like everyone else and can't take losing every now and then. Oh no, the horror.
@@NakedSpaceMan nah I know people have good games and bad games, its natural. But what I dont understand is the fact that SBMM is so rampant in the most recent titles. 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

MW3 had a necessary story to add because we still had to take down Makorav and some pretty touching moments and explains Yuri’s role in the No Russian Mission. Survival was also great
I reached level 34 in the Underground map. It felt really good
Juan Chavez I went back to MW2 when finding out what Yuri was doing during the No Russian Mission and waited at the elevator for him to show up. I was so disappointed that he didn't show up.
