Perhaps the worst part which isn't mentioned in this video is how abruptly the game ends. There's no buildup, it just feels like another routine mission. Then suddenly it's credits rolling. Like "wait that was the finale? That was the last mission?"
Black Ops 1 & 2 had some of the most bombastic and awesome final campaign missions. Going all out at the end should be a staple in the COD campaigns. MW3 really sucked.
@@4biddenflownot to mention in Blops2 the story had different paths and endings. That's forever the best CoD.aprt from OG CoDs like finest hour and Big Red One lol
Man, this is disappointing, but not surprising. I miss where the campaign WAS the priority and multiplayer was a great bonus. I grew up playing the original MWs 1-3 back in 2007-2011 and bought it mainly for the campaign, then multiplayer. The 2019 MW remake restored my faith in COD - you can tell that this particular dev team was really passionate about their work and remaking a classic COD. The '22 MW2 was short but okay, and now this game looked rushed the campaign and feels like a cash grab. Again, not a surprise... but Activision doesn't seem to care for or respect any of their consumers. Instead, they only focus on DLCs like Battle Passes, Nikki Minaj skins, and ridiculous-looking alien guns, NOT a compelling story.
@@Gatorade69 Yeah, they should have done it as a DLC. It's a slap in the face to their consumers to demand the full price of $70 while offering an equivalent amount of content as a $20 DLC.
I am a campaign player, so its saddens me when they don't give us gamers that love. I have enjoyed the COD franchise campaigns for years. I do agree with you, I hope they give us more love on the next one. Thank you for your content!
I will never pay 70 dollar for a game thats a trash DLC. Not to mention they ran out of ideas and repeated history with a trash campaign. I was as well a campaign player but the way mainstream gaming developers are going, i cant sit here and pay 70 dollars for games that are made to be graphical upgrades to little to no story thats actually good to play. A few years ago i used to work with a dude who told me he had 1200 dollars put into his fortnite account. Thats enough to rebuy every game ive ever played.
Call of Duty campaigns were legendary and used to be a gateway drug to dive into the multiplayer. This was a clear indication of their departure from that model and it's so sad to see
Exactly. Back in the day the campaign was the experience you paid for, and the multiplayer was almost an expansion to that single player campaign for those who wanted to keep playing. Now its just lazy ass filler basically as an ad for multiplayer and the main drive is MP because its stuffed to hell with microtransactions. I always looked forward to the campaigns, but this year Im not even going to try it. So fucking disappointed
Bro, I don't know how you can think the second MW3 in a 20 game series is where any sort of "departure" happened. People argued this series departed 9 years ago when booster jet packs found their way in, 10 years ago when "realistic fish" were the only selling point in Ghosts, and even 12 years ago when the original MW3 dissapointed everyone as a carbon copy of MW2. They have 20 years of COD to try to innovate from and its been a crapshoot on what they hit each year. They'll randomly go back to the model you like next year and find another part ruin as well. It's the call of duty cycle.
Hoo rahhh…. Bomb hits and the fence rattles while lined up in the jeeps at the very start mw2 before going through the town and into the school. Then the skeleton IW gave us shaking fences in Ghosts like it was revolutionary 8 years later. Did enjoy Ghosts not gonna lie. But it’s a down and out franchise apart from the odd 3arc game.
MW1 and MW2 campaigns are great, but i think MW2 camapigns is better than MW1 campaign, and is also better in veteran because you don't have infinite enemy respaw
i completed it, on normal difficulty. my main takeaway was every mission felt like "here you go, take on 87 enemies as one person" even if you had a (frankly useless) squadmate... and yeah i agree with you it felt half assed, mostly because single player is not their moneymaker
@@jordanmorrissy665 to be fair its no the developers fault. this was supposed to be A DLC for MW II but then the upper management decided they wanted to make it a seperate game so they can slap a higher price on it instead of a 30 dollar DLC. they told the devs to rush it harder and release it as a seperate game ASAP.
I'm a campaign guy myself. Never play MP, but I usually enjoy a couple playthroughs of the campaigns. Was kinda looking forward to this one with how the last one ended. It's a shame (disgrace) with what they released instead. This will be the first COD campaign I'll never play unless I find it cheap on eBay or something. Will only buy secondhand. Not giving them the purchase.
Ima campaign guy too I hardly ever play MP. I was so excited for this to come out but after hearing this I can’t see myself paying for a 4 hour campaign 🤦🏾♂️
I'm exactly the same way, only play campaigns. I pre-ordered this because of the hype with UA-camrs speculating on what was going to be in it and how amazing it was going to be. I played it and hated it and ended up trying to get a refund on steam. They actually did give me a refund so there's that at least. But yeah highly disappointed in this campaign, MW 2019 was awesome and really had so much potential
Just recently played the MW (2019) campaign and enjoyed it a lot. The way it ended got me excited to play the next one but have not got to it yet. It is disappointing to hear that they are not putting the effort into making the campaign's great. I haven't played call of Duty since the original Black Ops in (2010) which was amazing. Just wish they gave use campaigns like MW2 (2009) and Black Ops (2010) again.
There are a lot of good CoD campaigns from the series' height. Black Ops 2 is just as great as the first Black Ops, and it also has some new ideas such as the only one with multiple endings and player choice. It also has a sort of FPS/RTS hybrid game mode where failing those missions actually affects the story outcome. I also think the PS4 era games are good and rather underrated, just because people were burned out of the same yearly formula and didn't care about CoD in general anymore. But going back, they were actually some of the more innovative titles. Advanced Warfare's multiplayer is arguably the best of any CoD. Black Ops 3 had lots of cool new sci-fi abilities in the campaign. I haven't played Infinite Warfare, but fan consensus today is that it was unfairly hated before it came out and actually is good. (That was the same year as Doom 2016, Battlefield 1, and Titanfall 2).
Black Ops sucked, one of my least favourite campaigns and I've played all of them up to WW2 (a little behind because price just for a 5 hour campaign). But let me tell you, you are MISSING OUT. Black Ops III is not only a fantastic COD campaign, it is also straight up one of the best cyberpunk FPS games ever made.
The worst thing is not the campaign itself. The worst part is that they charged FULL PRICE for what it was initially intended to be sold as an ADD-ON. And we can definitely tell that’s what it is.
They are spending a lot on marketing. Looks like they know it needs the marketing. I hope it bombs personally. So they can actually step it up and not half as s it.
What’s crazy about this review is that I’m a 47 year old lifetime gamer. It’s amazing to see how far video games have come in my lifetime. Call Of Duty is a staple in my life, I’ve played them all, campaigns & multiplayer. Not big on warzone & I think that’s because let’s face it I’m old & it’s the old dog new tricks syndrome. I have two young adult kids ages 26 & 21 & I raised them on online gaming. I divorced when they were young & I used online gaming as a way to keep the bond with my children during the early co parenting years. Call Of Duty was where we spent the most time. On weekends when they were at my house we’d play & loved it. But today it’s not the same, my kids are older & they still game just as strongly but they’re off to other gaming franchises & I still get excited for the new CoD every fall/winter. Today sadly, I play alone. They don’t even own a CoD & haven’t in years. So I get where you’re coming from but I don’t know, maybe this my way of holding on to the past because I thoroughly enjoyed this campaign. I play on the hardest difficulty so that made it a lot more challenging & though it was short I stretched it out to about a week & a half as my work & life demands would allow me to give it the time I would’ve in the past. The graphics & gameplay was dope to me. I even got engaged in the story. I’m on to multiplayer now & it’s just as cool. So all that being said, maybe it’s an old man thing. If so, I hope they never stop producing them because I can’t do Fortnite. 🤣🤣🤣
I love the work you guys do. These before you buy videos have helped me make informed decisions on how I can spend my game budget. You guys always tell it like it is and I trust what you guys have to say. Good job.
The open combat missions maybe had potential but it feels like they did 10% of the work and just figured it was good enough and shipped it out like that. There's a couple cool missions like the snowy one and maybe the tunnel bomb, but those are abruptly sandwiched with open combat missions that immediately rip you out of any tension the cool missions started
Agreed. They struck gold with MW19 but handled it like a college essay where you don't know where to go with the idea to develop it further; getting progressively worse with each new MW.
2019 had a good campaign but other than that was straight up dog shit. 2019 had one of the top 4 worst multiplayers and map selection in cod history. I’ve noticed only noobs who never touched the original Cods like MW2019, because they camp all day with claymores
@@jaweel6205 Well yeah, but there is 0 improvement upon 2019, that's why I said it's interesting how far the new MW series has fallen. The campaign in 2019 is one of the best CoD campaigns ever, MP had a lot of room for improvement.
I loved mw2019, it was an actually good COD which we hadnt had for years, thats what happends when the devs are actually allowed to make something cool.
Personally, I think it's not a devs issue. It's a writer issue. They don't want to invest in writers, that's why they took the approach toward open combat missions.
I feel like they should've develop the next games as prequel to the old ones, they have the story right there: * Develop the enmity between Makarov and Price. * Develop what they already shown about Shepherd (His motivation to bend rules and do what is necessary to not leave loose ends) which really impacts on the Estate Mission on mw2 (old one). * Develop the friendship link between everyone on the TF-141. * Develop why Price was so enraged when McTavish was killed on MW3 (old one), maybe he took him as his right arm in some missions (to put it as example). * Develop the Ghost character with some Lone Wolf Missions, some backstory why he never removes his mask off (somebody close to him died because he was compromised or something like that. * And return to the linear storyline, I feel it was way more challenging Veteran Difficulty in the previous games, and way more exciting since you get submerged in the action, not just firing at stupid AI. Just saying, I had to ask for a refund on this game because of the level of dissapointment I had from it.
Reading this got me hyped to go play all the campaign's for this stuff....then came back to the realization...they don't exist.. HUGE missed opportunity for story/world building.. but I thank you for bringing all this up so I can imagine what could have been. I guess we have to use our own imagination to fill in the blanks, and what we come up with is our story...
@@codyheaton8750 Yeah man, IDK why it's so hard to them to develop the sea of ideas there are to create great campaigns, I guess they are only interested on doing half the job and get earnings fast. Truly sad.
@@ttvchamixir9672 the reasoning behind half assing, is cuz the campaign doesn't bring reoccurring money. Multiplayer and even more so Warzone is what they care about cuz they can milk money out of those. It's more about getting money than player experience. Gaming as a whole has changed and it's all because microtransactions. Companies now know they can make WAAYY more money by doing basic games and then selling cosmetics within...and no matter what, people will buy it.. Even when 1,000 people don't, there are a 10,000 that do.. People don't realize that we, the consumer, can control the market. If we all stop buying the $20-30 bundles, they will make them cheaper, (so they sell) and they will return to how like DLC's used to be ($2-10). DLC's back then were basically microtransactions before they became a real thing...but they weren't counted on as the money maker nor the real attraction to the game. The gaming business model that was once about the player experience, no longer exists..
@@codyheaton8750 great analysis, that's so true, player experience has change completely because of those micro-transactions. Well I think this leaves us with playing another rich story game, something with content.
Back then we cried foul when the AW campaign was only 5 hours long, but 2 hours is really taking the piss. The weapons free missions reek of asset flip games
As an old school cod fan I gave up in 2019 and now I realize these games aren’t made for me anymore if you are still buying cod for the campaign you’re playing yourself. Activision could care less if the campaign sucks as long as the mp sells. Also the casual gamer couldn’t care less about the campaigns anymore we are actually the small group who care about the campaign
I think you should've touch more on how leaks earlier in the year pretty much confirms this was destined to be a DLC, including the classic maps; but clearly Activision decided to put a big pricetag on it somewhere along the way and it got repurposed. The open combat missions are so disconnected from the rest of the game and uses so much Warzone/DMZ content that you can clearly tell they're there to fill up time for the obviously short DLC campaign. Heck even JackFrags, a popular COD UA-camr of old just made an edit that shortens the whole campaign in a 30 minute video, with better scene and score placement than the game itself lol
@@brendonbalow6488"Ive* been bamboozled" is what you actually meant. At this point you can't blame Activision when fanboys are the reason cod is consistently one of the most purchased games of the year. They've put out 1 good cod since black ops 3, it's pretty obvious at this point they aren't ever going to improve it because they don't need to, so just stop giving them your money
fully agree with you, i miss sitting down for 12+ hours and having 30 missions that felt like i was a charcter in a mini series of badass GIjoe movies.
That never happened so you can't miss it. No COD campaign has been over 10 hours, I've played all of them. Probably average 6-7 hours, longer for the old pre-MW games. What a damn slap in the face this is though.
This was originally planned to be a DLC for MW2 and knowing that, it makes so much sense. The fact that they decided to make it standalone and slap a $70 price tag on it is the real slap in the face.
Thanks for reviewing the campaign Jake. Saved me a few wasted hours. This sounds really awful, and I am right there with you as a player that usually plays every single CoD campaign, every year. Ever since CoD 2 blew my mind, I have always hoped for more like that and very rarely it still happens.
Yeah like where are those Epic Awesome moments that you always will remember. Like remember Point de hoc from CoD 2 I was blown away when there are literally 100 Friendly and 200 Enemies in your screen at 60 FPS
On the PS3 MW3 it started off in New York City. I remember fighting through Germany as well. Blew me away. As well as a survival mode that was endless fun
Figures it would suck. Both Call of Duty and Battlefield have completely disregarded what made their games great and what their fans actually want. Neither franchise has produced a decent game in YEARS!
The campaign is one of the best parts of call of duty games. It doesn’t feel like a complete experience without it. It’s one of the most replayable parts long-term, especially once they stop supporting the multiplayer lobbies and hackers are everywhere.
The Zombies mode is also going to be, surprise, a repurposed version of Warzone. Oh, and all the multiplayer maps are from old games. $70 is a bit crazy to me for an offering like this, especially with all the other amazing titles available this year. Appreciate you though Jake 👊
The problem is that they demonstrated that they can make good missions. Frozen Tundra was great, you had the whole team together and it really did feel like a classic mission. Flashpoint was good too. The campaign had so many “weapons free” missions that were so boring for a solo to do, they would have been much better suited for coop play. It seems like somewhere along the way that the developers were told to rush it and the solution was to make half the levels open combat
This is exactly why I watch you. The honesty is perfect I was in the fence , now I know for sure it's not worth the $70 . I don't do much online . Your review was perfect, to a T of all the questions I would have asked. Thank you very much.
They literally announces MW2 DLC and said they're not doing another CoD game for another year, then all of sudden MW3 is announced. This is legit just the dlc rebranded and with a 70$ price tag slapped on
Imagine they listened to the audience, and dropped it to $40 while refunding those who paid full price. Boy, would they be a great recovery move by Activision. Of course, that won’t happen
I really enjoyed the campaign. I played on Veteran. It felt a bit like Hitman or MGSV but in CoD gameplay wise. And I enjoyed the hidden unblockable loadout in the missions.
I think you are right! I really do not want the single player campaigns to die off like black ops have chosen to do. Some have been fun stories and gameplay to sink your teeth into. That and the technical prowess these games display 120fps/4k fantastic visuals.
I played COD for over a decade and only jumped back into MW2 to bind with my sister. I got really into it. The campaign was pretty great and then they announced MW3. It was way too fast. Mw2 brought my faith back in the franchise but wtf is mw3? Why....?
Modern warfare 2 brought your confidence back Jesus your standards must be low The campaign was okay at best and the multiplayer was absolutely god awful
Why? Because people give them money for it. The COD brand is so popular at this point they could sell gamers a COD themed wet paper towel and they'd pay $25 for the privilege.
Play this game until the free weapons missions showed up... Could not believe this is a $70 standalone game and not some free DLC, thank God I got this out of the library 😂
This why I keep my 360 and my old COD copies. Played the original BLOPS the other day. Still so good. I also played World at War and that still holds up as well.
I've played every CoD campaign as well. I usually really like that annual run through the cheesy, bombastic CoD campaign. Then jumping into a few matches of multiplayer and then moving on to something else. Shame this one dropped the ball so hard. Guess this will be a much, much later purchase when its like $10-$15 used.
Bro don't even bother buying the game, just wait for it to come to Game Pass next year. Microsoft just bought Activision so all CoD games will come to Game Pass next year.
Just finished playing through CoD4 remastered again and man i wish we could have more fun campaigns like that! Just make a CoD game that has all the campaigns in one place and i'm home!
Oh Jake, it was definitely time they didn't have enough of. Even before the Microsoft buyout, Activision had more than enough money to make this campaign legendary. They just banked on the name to drive sales. CoD is turning into the Madden of FPSs
Bo3 was confusing and completely disconnected from the bo universe but it's not the worse campaign we've had Imo. Every sledgehammer campaign has been complete dog shit
@@Valkinsennat least Ghosts did everything what MW2 2009 and MW3 2011 did but better besides the Story other than that Ghosts has a really long campaign it had 18 Missions
Almost eight years I've been following this channel. This game is an absolute dumpster fire, yet you kept it objective and didn't let that keep you from doing your job. The amount of respect I have for you guys is immeasurable
Part of the campaign in the cod4 to mw3 campaigns was that it was linear. Its a not a free roam misson its an actual mission. I could be wrong but the closest thing to this new one is burger Town from mw2. It was like avoid that go here hold that. Thats what you do online. I like the idea of being kinda free but its also restricted. To me it reminds me of far cry a alittle. The original mws would let you stray off a tiny bit but it was very good at putting you in the monent
This is very strange. For years; hell FOR DECADES people have been complaining that the series' greatest flaw is the highly restricted, on-rails linear shooter with no player freedom. Now people are begging for it? It's not that the old formula was without its problems. It's just the new game failed in execution.
I remember around the Black Ops 1 era there were more people that bought the game and never touched the multiplayer than people who did do multiplayer. Wonder if those people are still sticking around.
I'm very disappointed and sad at the same time. COD is my favourite game series only because of their iconic campaigns. But it looks like no one cares about them now... Every single person I know in COD community got in love with this franchise because of the awesome story and action filled campaigns. Back then we were waiting and eagerly giving $60 and more for those masterpieces. But today all of us understand that they are just snatching money from us, and not even making any masterpieces. Gaming is Dying, or at least COD is Dying 😢
this isn't the first video I have seen about this topic so Im glad i have been watching some of the reviews before buying the new cod ( thanks to you guys... saving me money for something better and more engaging) I have seen the way cod has shifted, there used to be a true DEDICATED campaign where the story was given in true form,then expanded by the multiplayer...not the other way around. so sad how cod has fallen. Im not a warzone player ( just not my taste) so the fact people are saying it just feels like a mini warzone ( which im sure thats what Activision wanted anyway as thats how they see the market now a days) is sad as ...once again...Activision has not been listing to their fan base and only chasing the bag.
It took me about 9 hours to complete the MW2 campaign. It was the first COD game I played and so far haven’t played any other COD games, but I did quickly get attached to the lore. At the end, I was wondering who Makarov was. It kept me curious and hype for MW3. But now, knowing that I could complete MW3’s campaign within 4 hours, (which is roughly less than some pixelated games I’ve seen, I’m not kidding), I am really disappointed. I’ve seen people talking about how short it was, but I never knew it was like 4 hours. I was thinking maybe 6-8 hours. Also, I don’t focus on multiplayer. I’m interested in the story. Sometimes I do log onto multiplayer if I’m bored but other than that I’m not very active on it. I’m about to go play MW2 multiplayer.
It’s really sad to see cod campaigns dying like this and a lot of people saying they should die. They’re iconic and immersive. I love narrative I love feeling like that character and going on that adventure
You’re not alone in your disappointment. Unfortunately, people like us are just no longer the target demographic. This game is made for warzone and multiplayers, ones that dont really care about a good story, writing, or adventure, only the repetitive grind. And we know money is first for these studios so its not surprising, just sad.
*publishers In case you forgot the actual studios are filled with developers, who have chosen to spend these years of their lives creating a video game, an artform, they would never choose to put out something like this if they had a choice.
Im sure there are still many passionate developers out there who care about the legacy of their product. but, If we're being real, i think there are just as many, if not more, developers who want a good paycheck. which is not wrong either just not worth talking about. 🙁 @@cenciende9401
I actually liked the first half of the campaign a lot and for me it took me 6 hours to complete on normal. I think where they lacked heavily was the rushed ending and the last few missions. I just think they should have added some more missions to make that ending worth more but clearly having only a year to develop all these things wasn’t enough.
Really really hope the devs are taking notes. I was so disappointed when I was finally getting into the campaign, and then it ends out of absolutely nowhere.
Its crazy how each time doom comes out it completely changes thr fps landscape. 1990s doom , 2015s doom, 2020 eternal. Lets see the new wave so we can see another good call of duty
Our expectations were low, but not THIS low. It's kinda hard to think that this Activision is the same Activision that made the first Black Ops campaign.
@@Godzilladreamer because if you just watch your friend get their head blown off and then the bad guy runs down the fucking hallway and that’s the end of a fucking game that’s not an ending that’s just shitting on the community of call of duty campaign lovers because it’s a shitty three hour DLC
I’m with ya: multiplayer’s cool, but the single-player campaigns (and, I think, old split-screen of sitting on the couch, ordering a pizza, and just hanging with your best friend) is where it’s really at-fun adventures or local-multiplayer with friendly faces around. :)
I think you should have brought up the fact that it feels this way is because this was supposed to be a DLC for MW2 but turned into a full game which would explain the feeling of being rushed
This is such a damn shame, I was really looking forward to the year 2 of mw2 bringing the story back and seeing how it concluded but there’s absolutely no way in hell I’m paying $70 for a 4 hour campaign. These games have strayed so far away from what was good in mp and zombies, then they pull this shit. It’s completely ridiculous and a game I’m absolutely refusing to buy.
This Before You Buy is almost as long as the campaign and much more entertaining!
Lmao damn
What a deal!

Brilliant!👏🏻👏🏻
What a legend 🫡
Perhaps the worst part which isn't mentioned in this video is how abruptly the game ends. There's no buildup, it just feels like another routine mission. Then suddenly it's credits rolling. Like "wait that was the finale? That was the last mission?"
Because there is coming more mw games 😅
right XD like what was the point of the whole campaign of nothing gets achieved

Give up little boy
I'm of the same opinion. I like single player campaigns, it sucks that these companies aren't investing in them.
Not as much money to vacuum up out of them!
Call of Duty campaigns were legendary and used to be a gateway drug to dive into the multiplayer. This was a clear indication of their departure from that model and it's so sad to see
The gateway drug analogy is spot on.

Remember running around outside the White House in MW2? Good times
It still has that gateway drug aspect, now they make it even more like mp than ever
Bro, I don't know how you can think the second MW3 in a 20 game series is where any sort of "departure" happened.
People argued this series departed 9 years ago when booster jet packs found their way in, 10 years ago when "realistic fish" were the only selling point in Ghosts, and even 12 years ago when the original MW3 dissapointed everyone as a carbon copy of MW2.
They have 20 years of COD to try to innovate from and its been a crapshoot on what they hit each year. They'll randomly go back to the model you like next year and find another part ruin as well. It's the call of duty cycle.
I agree. It makes me want to play the original MW and MW2 campaigns. I remember playing them over and over while playing multiplayer.
Yeah that Battle of Washington mission is just so epic man.
That Helicopter Ride OST is 🎉
Original mw campaign is top notch among fps games, new mw campaign sucks, full of bullshits.
I wantcto play the original MW3 campaign. I never played that one...
Hoo rahhh…. Bomb hits and the fence rattles while lined up in the jeeps at the very start mw2 before going through the town and into the school. Then the skeleton IW gave us shaking fences in Ghosts like it was revolutionary 8 years later. Did enjoy Ghosts not gonna lie. But it’s a down and out franchise apart from the odd 3arc game.
MW1 and MW2 campaigns are great, but i think MW2 camapigns is better than MW1 campaign, and is also better in veteran because you don't have infinite enemy respaw
The short campaign length really makes it seem like it was supposed to be a DLC. I’m sure if this was $40 there wouldn’t be nearly as much backlash
Well duh. That's obvious. And there would be this much backlash. A shitty game is a shitty game. I wouldn't play this game if I owned it for free
$40 for not even a expansions worth of content yeahhhh no this is $15 at most
It’s known it was supposed to be a dlc don’t know why any expected anything decent to be honest
This would be the perfect time for EA to announce either Bad Company 3 or a Bad Company reboot.
Its definitely DLC, its so rushed it doesn't even have its own platinum trophy on the PS5.
i completed it, on normal difficulty. my main takeaway was every mission felt like "here you go, take on 87 enemies as one person" even if you had a (frankly useless) squadmate... and yeah i agree with you it felt half assed, mostly because single player is not their moneymaker
I miss the days when you bought a game for the campaign. Online was just a bonus for afterward
Agree..those days are sadly gone
This game makes MWII 2022 look like a masterpiece
the campaign yes, but the multilayer? HELL nah
the real masterpiece was MW19

@@The_MEMEphis you're so wrong man.
It’s really a slap in the face by the developers. Give us a half hearted campaign and expect us to buy the dlc to make up for it
this is the DLC?
Are you really surprised, it's Activision
@@jordanmorrissy665 to be fair its no the developers fault. this was supposed to be A DLC for MW II but then the upper management decided they wanted to make it a seperate game so they can slap a higher price on it instead of a 30 dollar DLC. they told the devs to rush it harder and release it as a seperate game ASAP.
Not devs fault. Its the higher ups who wanted to shit out a game before Xbox bought them out
If activision gave up on campaign, the game won't move forward cus its just gonna be copy and paste multiplayer with different name
I'm a campaign guy myself. Never play MP, but I usually enjoy a couple playthroughs of the campaigns. Was kinda looking forward to this one with how the last one ended. It's a shame (disgrace) with what they released instead. This will be the first COD campaign I'll never play unless I find it cheap on eBay or something. Will only buy secondhand. Not giving them the purchase.
Ima campaign guy too I hardly ever play MP. I was so excited for this to come out but after hearing this I can’t see myself paying for a 4 hour campaign 🤦🏾♂️
Same here going too pass on this one and maybe get it at my library when they get it
If i were you I would wait a few months to buy it used from gamestop.
I'm exactly the same way, only play campaigns. I pre-ordered this because of the hype with UA-camrs speculating on what was going to be in it and how amazing it was going to be. I played it and hated it and ended up trying to get a refund on steam. They actually did give me a refund so there's that at least. But yeah highly disappointed in this campaign, MW 2019 was awesome and really had so much potential
Wanted to play it but after all of the bad reviews, just watched a playthrough instead. Glad i didnt get it.
Just recently played the MW (2019) campaign and enjoyed it a lot. The way it ended got me excited to play the next one but have not got to it yet. It is disappointing to hear that they are not putting the effort into making the campaign's great. I haven't played call of Duty since the original Black Ops in (2010) which was amazing. Just wish they gave use campaigns like MW2 (2009) and Black Ops (2010) again.
There are a lot of good CoD campaigns from the series' height. Black Ops 2 is just as great as the first Black Ops, and it also has some new ideas such as the only one with multiple endings and player choice. It also has a sort of FPS/RTS hybrid game mode where failing those missions actually affects the story outcome. I also think the PS4 era games are good and rather underrated, just because people were burned out of the same yearly formula and didn't care about CoD in general anymore. But going back, they were actually some of the more innovative titles. Advanced Warfare's multiplayer is arguably the best of any CoD. Black Ops 3 had lots of cool new sci-fi abilities in the campaign. I haven't played Infinite Warfare, but fan consensus today is that it was unfairly hated before it came out and actually is good. (That was the same year as Doom 2016, Battlefield 1, and Titanfall 2).
Ikr. The 2019 MW was a good campaign and they went downhill from there.
Black Ops sucked, one of my least favourite campaigns and I've played all of them up to WW2 (a little behind because price just for a 5 hour campaign). But let me tell you, you are MISSING OUT. Black Ops III is not only a fantastic COD campaign, it is also straight up one of the best cyberpunk FPS games ever made.
MW2 reboot campaign is……okay? Ish? Not as good as MW2019 but definitely better than this.
@@cenciende9401I can't tell if you're joking or not 😅
The worst thing is not the campaign itself. The worst part is that they charged FULL PRICE for what it was initially intended to be sold as an ADD-ON. And we can definitely tell that’s what it is.
When expansion packs get packaged as full titles.... Gotta love it
MW 2019 full title was $59.99 and now its $69.99 for this expansion pack...
This is peak Activison: doing below the minimum acceptable. And it will still top sales charts. 🤷🏻♂️
idk man, after last year I don't think as many people are gonna buy it
They are spending a lot on marketing. Looks like they know it needs the marketing. I hope it bombs personally.
So they can actually step it up and not half as s it.
The open combat missions really get under my skin
same
Hated them just spawn in do 3 things and that’s it story barely progressed and no teammates
We all hated them, DMZ filler.
The fact that they dropped 2 of them back to back after a pretty decent first mission felt like I was catfished
Feel bad for the devs who enjoy working on these games, that have had to put this out fully well knowing they didn’t have the time they needed
What’s crazy about this review is that I’m a 47 year old lifetime gamer. It’s amazing to see how far video games have come in my lifetime. Call Of Duty is a staple in my life, I’ve played them all, campaigns & multiplayer. Not big on warzone & I think that’s because let’s face it I’m old & it’s the old dog new tricks syndrome.
I have two young adult kids ages 26 & 21 & I raised them on online gaming. I divorced when they were young & I used online gaming as a way to keep the bond with my children during the early co parenting years. Call Of Duty was where we spent the most time. On weekends when they were at my house we’d play & loved it.
But today it’s not the same, my kids are older & they still game just as strongly but they’re off to other gaming franchises & I still get excited for the new CoD every fall/winter. Today sadly, I play alone. They don’t even own a CoD & haven’t in years.
So I get where you’re coming from but I don’t know, maybe this my way of holding on to the past because I thoroughly enjoyed this campaign. I play on the hardest difficulty so that made it a lot more challenging & though it was short I stretched it out to about a week & a half as my work & life demands would allow me to give it the time I would’ve in the past.
The graphics & gameplay was dope to me. I even got engaged in the story. I’m on to multiplayer now & it’s just as cool. So all that being said, maybe it’s an old man thing. If so, I hope they never stop producing them because I can’t do Fortnite. 🤣🤣🤣
I love the work you guys do. These before you buy videos have helped me make informed decisions on how I can spend my game budget. You guys always tell it like it is and I trust what you guys have to say. Good job.
The open combat missions maybe had potential but it feels like they did 10% of the work and just figured it was good enough and shipped it out like that. There's a couple cool missions like the snowy one and maybe the tunnel bomb, but those are abruptly sandwiched with open combat missions that immediately rip you out of any tension the cool missions started
It's really interesting to see how far the new MW has fallen since MW2019.
I loved 2019 and hated 2 probably won’t even play 3 honestly
2019 really was something shame they couldn't keep it up
Agreed. They struck gold with MW19 but handled it like a college essay where you don't know where to go with the idea to develop it further; getting progressively worse with each new MW.
2019 had a good campaign but other than that was straight up dog shit. 2019 had one of the top 4 worst multiplayers and map selection in cod history. I’ve noticed only noobs who never touched the original Cods like MW2019, because they camp all day with claymores
@@jaweel6205 Well yeah, but there is 0 improvement upon 2019, that's why I said it's interesting how far the new MW series has fallen. The campaign in 2019 is one of the best CoD campaigns ever, MP had a lot of room for improvement.
I loved mw2019, it was an actually good COD which we hadnt had for years, thats what happends when the devs are actually allowed to make something cool.
2019 MW was Fire!!!!
2019 MW was Fire!!!!
Personally, I think it's not a devs issue. It's a writer issue. They don't want to invest in writers, that's why they took the approach toward open combat missions.
Cold War was amazing in terms of campaign
MW2019 was developed with real passion and talent. Every game after has sucked.
I feel like they should've develop the next games as prequel to the old ones, they have the story right there:
* Develop the enmity between Makarov and Price.
* Develop what they already shown about Shepherd (His motivation to bend rules and do what is necessary to not leave loose ends) which really impacts on the Estate Mission on mw2 (old one).
* Develop the friendship link between everyone on the TF-141.
* Develop why Price was so enraged when McTavish was killed on MW3 (old one), maybe he took him as his right arm in some missions (to put it as example).
* Develop the Ghost character with some Lone Wolf Missions, some backstory why he never removes his mask off (somebody close to him died because he was compromised or something like that.
* And return to the linear storyline, I feel it was way more challenging Veteran Difficulty in the previous games, and way more exciting since you get submerged in the action, not just firing at stupid AI.
Just saying, I had to ask for a refund on this game because of the level of dissapointment I had from it.
Bro it's Activision all your ideas are great but they suck in story building
Reading this got me hyped to go play all the campaign's for this stuff....then came back to the realization...they don't exist.. HUGE missed opportunity for story/world building.. but I thank you for bringing all this up so I can imagine what could have been. I guess we have to use our own imagination to fill in the blanks, and what we come up with is our story...
@@codyheaton8750 Yeah man, IDK why it's so hard to them to develop the sea of ideas there are to create great campaigns, I guess they are only interested on doing half the job and get earnings fast. Truly sad.
@@ttvchamixir9672 the reasoning behind half assing, is cuz the campaign doesn't bring reoccurring money. Multiplayer and even more so Warzone is what they care about cuz they can milk money out of those. It's more about getting money than player experience. Gaming as a whole has changed and it's all because microtransactions. Companies now know they can make WAAYY more money by doing basic games and then selling cosmetics within...and no matter what, people will buy it.. Even when 1,000 people don't, there are a 10,000 that do.. People don't realize that we, the consumer, can control the market. If we all stop buying the $20-30 bundles, they will make them cheaper, (so they sell) and they will return to how like DLC's used to be ($2-10). DLC's back then were basically microtransactions before they became a real thing...but they weren't counted on as the money maker nor the real attraction to the game. The gaming business model that was once about the player experience, no longer exists..
@@codyheaton8750 great analysis, that's so true, player experience has change completely because of those micro-transactions. Well I think this leaves us with playing another rich story game, something with content.
Back then we cried foul when the AW campaign was only 5 hours long, but 2 hours is really taking the piss. The weapons free missions reek of asset flip games
As an old school cod fan I gave up in 2019 and now I realize these games aren’t made for me anymore if you are still buying cod for the campaign you’re playing yourself. Activision could care less if the campaign sucks as long as the mp sells. Also the casual gamer couldn’t care less about the campaigns anymore we are actually the small group who care about the campaign
Unfortunately true honesty mw3 is most likely my last cod
Preach brother
I think you should've touch more on how leaks earlier in the year pretty much confirms this was destined to be a DLC, including the classic maps; but clearly Activision decided to put a big pricetag on it somewhere along the way and it got repurposed.
The open combat missions are so disconnected from the rest of the game and uses so much Warzone/DMZ content that you can clearly tell they're there to fill up time for the obviously short DLC campaign.
Heck even JackFrags, a popular COD UA-camr of old just made an edit that shortens the whole campaign in a 30 minute video, with better scene and score placement than the game itself lol
facts... weve been bamboozled yet again.
@@brendonbalow6488"Ive* been bamboozled" is what you actually meant. At this point you can't blame Activision when fanboys are the reason cod is consistently one of the most purchased games of the year. They've put out 1 good cod since black ops 3, it's pretty obvious at this point they aren't ever going to improve it because they don't need to, so just stop giving them your money
You can tell all it is, is a dlc…. Should be priced at $39 max
I genuinely expected more from the lads at Activision but yeah. I guess this is modern day COD
Can’t expect much from these devs nowadays
CoD has been this shit for a decade now, maybe longer.
You really expected more from Bobby Kottick's gang? More fool you.
Microsoft to the rescue!!
Idk why I expected it to be different.
Nope.
fully agree with you, i miss sitting down for 12+ hours and having 30 missions that felt like i was a charcter in a mini series of badass GIjoe movies.
Bo1 was so good for that. I miss those days
That never happened so you can't miss it. No COD campaign has been over 10 hours, I've played all of them. Probably average 6-7 hours, longer for the old pre-MW games. What a damn slap in the face this is though.
12+hrs on a cod campaign, u must be a turtle 😂
This was originally planned to be a DLC for MW2 and knowing that, it makes so much sense. The fact that they decided to make it standalone and slap a $70 price tag on it is the real slap in the face.
Thanks for reviewing the campaign Jake. Saved me a few wasted hours. This sounds really awful, and I am right there with you as a player that usually plays every single CoD campaign, every year. Ever since CoD 2 blew my mind, I have always hoped for more like that and very rarely it still happens.
I cannot believe they thought an open ended mission would come across as anything more than just LAZY
Yeah like where are those Epic Awesome moments that you always will remember.
Like remember Point de hoc from CoD 2 I was blown away when there are literally 100 Friendly and 200 Enemies in your screen at 60 FPS
On the PS3 MW3 it started off in New York City. I remember fighting through Germany as well. Blew me away. As well as a survival mode that was endless fun
Remember that Eiffel tower 🗼 collapse how EPIC that was
Keep up the awsome work guys!!
thanks for watching!
props to the editor for that smooth transition at 4:10
9:13 sorry jake u need to spend 70$ to have a stronger weapon to defeat him
Let's face it. MW2019 was the last swan dance.
Black Ops 2 was the last peak of CoD. What a fun game, the futuristic aspect was also realistic and not too Sci-fi
No, it was the start of cod downfall online, it was great, but the campaign was shit.
@@hittingdasaucenice bait lol
@Umbran nah, u guys just love shitty games. Blacks ops 1 n world at war was only best in black ops series the rest was crap
Mw2019 was peak
and on a good campaign we also got really good zombies, miss the good old days.
Figures it would suck. Both Call of Duty and Battlefield have completely disregarded what made their games great and what their fans actually want. Neither franchise has produced a decent game in YEARS!
It is really frustrating because I came from era where the campaign was king and multiplayer was secondary. Bring back the good story again
The campaign is one of the best parts of call of duty games. It doesn’t feel like a complete experience without it. It’s one of the most replayable parts long-term, especially once they stop supporting the multiplayer lobbies and hackers are everywhere.
The Zombies mode is also going to be, surprise, a repurposed version of Warzone. Oh, and all the multiplayer maps are from old games. $70 is a bit crazy to me for an offering like this, especially with all the other amazing titles available this year. Appreciate you though Jake 👊
It's gonna make so much money cause of that price even if mw3 ends up being the worst selling game of the series it's still gonna make a hell of alot
👍🏼
This game is still gonna sell well. They could make a 5 minute campaign, and it'll still break sales records. That's just the world we live in.
If you wait long enough, you might get it for 15$
The problem is that they demonstrated that they can make good missions. Frozen Tundra was great, you had the whole team together and it really did feel like a classic mission. Flashpoint was good too. The campaign had so many “weapons free” missions that were so boring for a solo to do, they would have been much better suited for coop play. It seems like somewhere along the way that the developers were told to rush it and the solution was to make half the levels open combat
The weapons free missions felt like an asset flip game. The enemies have no means of punishing you if you just run around the map
This is exactly why I watch you. The honesty is perfect I was in the fence , now I know for sure it's not worth the $70 . I don't do much online . Your review was perfect, to a T of all the questions I would have asked. Thank you very much.
They literally announces MW2 DLC and said they're not doing another CoD game for another year, then all of sudden MW3 is announced. This is legit just the dlc rebranded and with a 70$ price tag slapped on
This game/ DLC content makes Call of Duty Vanguard looks like a masterpiece
Imagine they listened to the audience, and dropped it to $40 while refunding those who paid full price. Boy, would they be a great recovery move by Activision. Of course, that won’t happen
I feel this pain! I love the long campaigns in games! It’s a total waste when a big game doesn’t give you one.
I really enjoyed the campaign. I played on Veteran. It felt a bit like Hitman or MGSV but in CoD gameplay wise. And I enjoyed the hidden unblockable loadout in the missions.
I think you are right! I really do not want the single player campaigns to die off like black ops have chosen to do. Some have been fun stories and gameplay to sink your teeth into. That and the technical prowess these games display 120fps/4k fantastic visuals.
Black ops 4 was the only one without Campaign...
Always look at these videos before you buy games.
thanks for checkin it out!
Was genuinely starting to worry about you guys lol. Glad you posted after all
always!
I played COD for over a decade and only jumped back into MW2 to bind with my sister. I got really into it. The campaign was pretty great and then they announced MW3. It was way too fast. Mw2 brought my faith back in the franchise but wtf is mw3? Why....?
Modern warfare 2 brought your confidence back Jesus your standards must be low The campaign was okay at best and the multiplayer was absolutely god awful
Mw2 wasn't even that good as well imo.
MW2019 is what really gave me hope again, then MW2 and took a huge dump on everything they learned from their smashing success of MW2019
Why? Because people give them money for it. The COD brand is so popular at this point they could sell gamers a COD themed wet paper towel and they'd pay $25 for the privilege.
Yeah. I had high hopes for the rebirth of CoD, but Mw3 totally killed it.
Play this game until the free weapons missions showed up... Could not believe this is a $70 standalone game and not some free DLC, thank God I got this out of the library 😂
This why I keep my 360 and my old COD copies. Played the original BLOPS the other day. Still so good. I also played World at War and that still holds up as well.
I've played every CoD campaign as well. I usually really like that annual run through the cheesy, bombastic CoD campaign. Then jumping into a few matches of multiplayer and then moving on to something else. Shame this one dropped the ball so hard. Guess this will be a much, much later purchase when its like $10-$15 used.
lol good luck with that, this shit just sells way to good for some reason. You might succeed on a thirth party site. But i even doubt that
@@XhizorBEyeah, no way in hell you're getting a cod game for 10-15 bucks used nowadays. Even if you wait 2+ years.
Bro don't even bother buying the game, just wait for it to come to Game Pass next year. Microsoft just bought Activision so all CoD games will come to Game Pass next year.
@@psychotropictraveler514 Depends blops 4 got cheap real quick!
Just finished playing through CoD4 remastered again and man i wish we could have more fun campaigns like that! Just make a CoD game that has all the campaigns in one place and i'm home!
$70 dollar DLC that’s literally it.
Oh Jake, it was definitely time they didn't have enough of. Even before the Microsoft buyout, Activision had more than enough money to make this campaign legendary. They just banked on the name to drive sales. CoD is turning into the Madden of FPSs
Weird how this game is being reviewed. I haven't seen review/before you buy videos of FIFA/Madden's career mode only, yet here we are with MW.
Even IGN gave it a 4/10 so I assume this review will be interesting to hear.
I didn't think a campaign could physically be worse then black ops 3 or Vanguard. Oh boy how far have we've fallen.
I didn’t think Black ops 3 campaign was bad, but it wasn’t the best
Bo3 was confusing and completely disconnected from the bo universe but it's not the worse campaign we've had Imo. Every sledgehammer campaign has been complete dog shit
Meanwhile, Ghosts be like: "Am I a _joke_ to you?"
Ghosts is actually a decent campaign, the only thing that ruined it was they decided to put in a twist ending for no reason.
@@Valkinsennat least Ghosts did everything what MW2 2009 and MW3 2011 did but better besides the Story other than that Ghosts has a really long campaign it had 18 Missions
Almost eight years I've been following this channel. This game is an absolute dumpster fire, yet you kept it objective and didn't let that keep you from doing your job.
The amount of respect I have for you guys is immeasurable
I hope that Microsoft now forced them to make good campaigns for the next games. The potential is there
Mw2019 = stars war rogue one
Mw2022 = the last jedi
Mw2023 = Rise of the skywalker
I wished they put more emphasis on the campaigns.. they are the best...why can't COD make one game completely for the campaign TG
Usually Campaigns are pretty good. I liked the last one but this just looks extremely disappointing
Part of the campaign in the cod4 to mw3 campaigns was that it was linear. Its a not a free roam misson its an actual mission. I could be wrong but the closest thing to this new one is burger Town from mw2. It was like avoid that go here hold that. Thats what you do online. I like the idea of being kinda free but its also restricted. To me it reminds me of far cry a alittle. The original mws would let you stray off a tiny bit but it was very good at putting you in the monent
Even if it was linear it had freedom
And didn't BoCW have Stealth missions which had little bit of Linearity for a reason
True but walking alongside a tank down a road is different from looting buildings n slotting armor plates just doing basic fetch quest stuff
This is very strange. For years; hell FOR DECADES people have been complaining that the series' greatest flaw is the highly restricted, on-rails linear shooter with no player freedom. Now people are begging for it? It's not that the old formula was without its problems. It's just the new game failed in execution.
I remember around the Black Ops 1 era there were more people that bought the game and never touched the multiplayer than people who did do multiplayer. Wonder if those people are still sticking around.
Same here Jake, would love a full blown single player game from any of these feanchises but alas, those time have passed us by.
I always preferred the COD singleplayer campaigns to the multiplayer games and multiplayer gameplays
I will save ya’ll 9 minutes and 44 seconds,it sucks,don’t buy it.
I'm very disappointed and sad at the same time. COD is my favourite game series only because of their iconic campaigns. But it looks like no one cares about them now...
Every single person I know in COD community got in love with this franchise because of the awesome story and action filled campaigns. Back then we were waiting and eagerly giving $60 and more for those masterpieces. But today all of us understand that they are just snatching money from us, and not even making any masterpieces. Gaming is Dying, or at least COD is Dying 😢
this isn't the first video I have seen about this topic so Im glad i have been watching some of the reviews before buying the new cod ( thanks to you guys... saving me money for something better and more engaging) I have seen the way cod has shifted, there used to be a true DEDICATED campaign where the story was given in true form,then expanded by the multiplayer...not the other way around. so sad how cod has fallen. Im not a warzone player ( just not my taste) so the fact people are saying it just feels like a mini warzone ( which im sure thats what Activision wanted anyway as thats how they see the market now a days) is sad as ...once again...Activision has not been listing to their fan base and only chasing the bag.
It’s like the fast and furious script writer informed them u don’t need any damn substance to your story
New title: “Before you don’t buy (refund immediately)”
Great coverage as always 👊🏿
It took me about 9 hours to complete the MW2 campaign. It was the first COD game I played and so far haven’t played any other COD games, but I did quickly get attached to the lore. At the end, I was wondering who Makarov was. It kept me curious and hype for MW3. But now, knowing that I could complete MW3’s campaign within 4 hours, (which is roughly less than some pixelated games I’ve seen, I’m not kidding), I am really disappointed. I’ve seen people talking about how short it was, but I never knew it was like 4 hours. I was thinking maybe 6-8 hours.
Also, I don’t focus on multiplayer. I’m interested in the story. Sometimes I do log onto multiplayer if I’m bored but other than that I’m not very active on it. I’m about to go play MW2 multiplayer.
I can't believe that I am missing Infinite Warfare's campaign
Fr this makes me miss bo3 campaign lol
Infinite warfares campaign was never bad so yeah 😂
@@JagsP95lmfao facts, great game.
3:08 Mission accomplished! Good work!
It’s really sad to see cod campaigns dying like this and a lot of people saying they should die. They’re iconic and immersive. I love narrative I love feeling like that character and going on that adventure
A tip for everyone: don't buy it.
You’re not alone in your disappointment. Unfortunately, people like us are just no longer the target demographic. This game is made for warzone and multiplayers, ones that dont really care about a good story, writing, or adventure, only the repetitive grind. And we know money is first for these studios so its not surprising, just sad.
*publishers
In case you forgot the actual studios are filled with developers, who have chosen to spend these years of their lives creating a video game, an artform, they would never choose to put out something like this if they had a choice.
Im sure there are still many passionate developers out there who care about the legacy of their product. but, If we're being real, i think there are just as many, if not more, developers who want a good paycheck. which is not wrong either just not worth talking about. 🙁 @@cenciende9401
*DO NOT BUY THE GAME AT ALL*
I was on checkout with this game and suddenly remembered I should check out your video before buying. Thank you, you saved me 70 bucks!
Back in the day campaigns of Call of duty we’re about 12 hours. Then they went to 8 hours and now 4 hours. Almost just a side note these days
This video is longer than the campaign
Modern warfare 3: do not buy
I actually liked the first half of the campaign a lot and for me it took me 6 hours to complete on normal. I think where they lacked heavily was the rushed ending and the last few missions. I just think they should have added some more missions to make that ending worth more but clearly having only a year to develop all these things wasn’t enough.
Really really hope the devs are taking notes. I was so disappointed when I was finally getting into the campaign, and then it ends out of absolutely nowhere.
Its crazy how each time doom comes out it completely changes thr fps landscape. 1990s doom , 2015s doom, 2020 eternal. Lets see the new wave so we can see another good call of duty
I hope that next’s Treyarch game will be good. So hard pass on this one.
Don't.
yep
Please don't buy it.
it’s not that they didn’t have enough time, they didn’t have enough passion
Our expectations were low, but not THIS low.
It's kinda hard to think that this Activision is the same Activision that made the first Black Ops campaign.
I’m not joking when I say this is the worst campaign in the entire series. Black Ops 4 has a better campaign than MW3 (That was a joke)
lol
This campaign is even worse than Vanguard and that's saying something since that one is usually universally agreed on being the worst one
Vanguard is still worse for it's utter disregard for history and boring as hell missions
This campaign was awful didn’t even get to off the main bad guy❤
Why do y'all want to off the big bad of the OG trilogy in the 1st game he appears in???
@@Godzilladreamer because if you just watch your friend get their head blown off and then the bad guy runs down the fucking hallway and that’s the end of a fucking game that’s not an ending that’s just shitting on the community of call of duty campaign lovers because it’s a shitty three hour DLC
I’m with ya: multiplayer’s cool, but the single-player campaigns (and, I think, old split-screen of sitting on the couch, ordering a pizza, and just hanging with your best friend) is where it’s really at-fun adventures or local-multiplayer with friendly faces around. :)
I think you should have brought up the fact that it feels this way is because this was supposed to be a DLC for MW2 but turned into a full game which would explain the feeling of being rushed
This is such a damn shame, I was really looking forward to the year 2 of mw2 bringing the story back and seeing how it concluded but there’s absolutely no way in hell I’m paying $70 for a 4 hour campaign. These games have strayed so far away from what was good in mp and zombies, then they pull this shit. It’s completely ridiculous and a game I’m absolutely refusing to buy.
