Players of the new 2023 release of Modern Warfare 3 have mistakenly voiced their opinions on the 2011 version of the game. Confusing the two, gamers have flooded Metacritic with negative reviews for the wrong game, failing to realize that the 2011 version is only available on Xbox 360. Despite their grievances, these reviews have no impact on the current release.
While some players have valid concerns about the new MW3, expressing them on the old game won’t achieve much. The recent early access period for MW3 has faced criticism for various reasons, including the introduction of Open Combat Missions. This new campaign element, which places players in the middle of a map to complete objectives, has been met with disappointment.
Many players feel that MW3 has deviated from its previous large-scale, action-packed gameplay. With only six out of fifteen missions being Open Combat missions, fans have criticized the lack of set pieces and forgettable gameplay. They consider this addition to be lazy and believe that MW3 was intended to be a DLC rather than a standalone release.
The premium price tag of $70 for MW3 has also sparked outrage among players. They argue that the short campaign and underwhelming Open Combat Missions do not justify the high cost of the game.
It’s important to ensure that we direct our criticism towards the correct version of MW3 in the future. Let’s focus on providing constructive feedback for the current release instead of mistakenly targeting the 2011 version.
