Many streamers and creators were left extremely disappointed by the Modern Warfare 3 campaign, which they completed in just three hours. OpTic TeeP gave it a personal rating of three out of ten, claiming that each hour of gameplay deserved one point. CouRageJD called it a “waste of dev effort” and suggested that the resources should have been focused on multiplayer and Warzone instead. The short duration of the campaign, coupled with the introduction of open combat missions, left the community unimpressed.
The three-hour length of the campaign is significantly shorter than previous Call of Duty campaigns, which usually offered around six hours of gameplay. The open combat missions, which made up almost half of the game, received criticism for being uninspiring and giving the game a “Warzone with cutscenes” feel. ModernWarzone described the campaign as lackluster, with too many open combat missions and not enough traditional story missions. The mid-credit cutscene was highlighted as the best narrative part of the game.
MrDalekJD shared a similar opinion, expressing disappointment with the open combat missions and the overall short duration of the campaign. However, he acknowledged that once the story picked up, it became intense and had some great levels. It is clear that with more time and effort, the game could have been much better.
While the storyline may continue to unfold through Warzone’s seasons, for many, Modern Warfare 3 will be remembered as having the worst campaign in the history of the Modern Warfare series.
