All eyes are on the Modern Warfare 3 release, but for many fans stuck in the past, anticipation for the upcoming CoD is at an all-time low. The community has voiced their dissatisfaction with recent CoD games, stating that they have failed to meet expectations in terms of gameplay, systems, and aesthetics, especially considering their high price tags.
Redditors on r/modernwarfare came together to discuss the differences between MW19 and MW2 (2022). The consensus seems to be that no CoD game since MW19 has lived up to the standards set by the golden age of Modern Warfare and Black Ops. These games were considered the pinnacle of multiplayer gaming, and fans long for a return to that level of quality. However, subsequent CoD releases have left them wanting more.
Many Redditors consider MW19 to be a “masterpiece” and “the greatest COD ever made.” This adoration may be attributed to its release date coinciding with a time when players had more free time on their hands. MW19 rekindled the Call of Duty fire for many, with players spending hours in lockdown playing “every day with the boys” and enjoying the birth of Warzone.
However, some wonder if the love for MW19 is simply nostalgia or a result of the circumstances surrounding its release. MW19 was a reboot of a beloved CoD classic, taking players back to the good old days of Call of Duty. It focused on the fundamentals of the franchise without introducing advanced technology or inclusive gameplay.
Redditors delved into the differences between MW19 and MW2 (2022), highlighting gameplay and visual disparities. The decline of Call of Duty seems to stem from repetitive gameplay and unclear visuals, with a color scheme that blends everything together. It is suggested that CoD games beyond MW19 are merely capitalizing on the franchise for profit. Some fans express their intention to boycott MW3 unless significant changes are made.
MW19 stood out with its improved gameplay, weapons, and movement, making it a genuine attempt to revive the beloved Modern Warfare series. One Redditor even claimed it was the “best CoD or shooter game ever made.” After years of playing CoD, fans know exactly what they want from the franchise. Straying from the fundamentals of realistic gunfights and down-to-earth gameplay, and focusing on excessive microtransactions with flashy skins and operators, is a move that few appreciate.
