Modern Warfare 3: Why The Hate?

Default Prime writer Kyree Leary talks about what he thinks of all the hatred towards the Call of Duty series. To him, the huge amount of hostility isn't completely justified.

... perhaps because even the kids are getting tired & bored of being inundated with war/shooting games ?

(try Skyrim)

@Rowland
Speak for yourself i think MW3 is the second best COD theres been, with COD 4 still #1. Skyrim looks THE most boring game ive every set my eyes on, gameplay looks enough to put people to sleep...No thanks

3GenGames4550d ago (Edited 4550d ago )

Lol, and when COD# comes out next time around, I'm sure that'll be #2 until the next one...not that it matters. COD4 is the standard for a GOOD Call of Duty. It'll never be better than COD4 unless they do away with killstreaks or make them exactly like COD4. That won't happen, the hipsters would cry foul and ditch the game. Can't have that, they're 90% of the sales!

And Skyrim look great for an Adventure/RPG-like game. Your taste in games isn't up to quality of other genres yet. If it isn't FPS, sure you'll think it's not good, bwhaha! I'm sure Conkers Bad Fur Day and Banjo-Tooie are bad games too, right? -eyeroll-

dinkeldinkse4550d ago

"i think MW3 is the second best COD theres been", that's not saying anything good about it. Being the second best turd doesn't make it less of a turd.

BXbomber4550d ago

I agree 100% with u, MW3 is the best in the COD series IMO. skyrim i will never understand the hype behind that game.

Stevo914550d ago

Everyone complains about how boring it is and its the same game, but year after year they break records for selling the most games. I wish they would change the game abit to stop it from being the same old game, but the thing is if it selling better and better every year I dont see why they would..

gorebago4550d ago

i agree with u about mw3 but skyrim looks amazing and appears to offer plenty of opps to pretty much provide everything i want from it. i can't even imagine it being boring but then again i respect your viewpoint

TooTall194550d ago

It's even better than 4 imo. It took me by surprise. I didn't consider myself a CoD fan until now.

Shackdaddy8364550d ago (Edited 4550d ago )

Maybe if you started playing CoD at 4. But for me, it goes:

CoD4
CoD
CoD2
Cod:UO
CoD:WaW
CoD:MW3
CoD:MW2
CoD3
CoD:BR1
CoD:Blops
CoD:FH

Definitely not the worst but definitely not the best IMO.

And Skyrim looks amazing! If you think it looks boring then you need to take more meds for your ADD.

Rowland4550d ago

@S_C:
there's clearly a split opinion here as the article alludes to ('Modern Warfare 3: Why The Hate?') so I'm obviously not speaking for myself at all, merely suggesting why there is growing discontent for war/shooting games in general.

is the best cod yet

haters will hate http://www.hatersgoingtohat...

metacritic proves it

TheFallenAngel4550d ago

Agreed, survival mode is so much fun and regular multilayer is too.

I_am_Batman4550d ago

Metacritic doesn't prove anything unless you haven't got your own opinion. When I look at best rated games GTA4 is no. 1. Is it a good game? Yeah I think so. But is it the best game I have ever played on any platform? Not even close. What I'm trying to say is that reviews are great if you know the reviewer. Let's say your friend doesn't like shooter so much and tells you that MW3 sucks. Then you know that you better try it for yourself. But to calculate an average score out of all the reviews on the net doesn't really say much for the individual gamer.

gorebago4550d ago

i like it but then again i just like about any videogame since they serve to entertain me

TheFallenAngel4550d ago

I know why do people hate MW3? Im having so much fun with this game. I bought it over Uncharted 3, the reason? I love FPS and online. Im really happy with it and I didn't like black ops even though people says its the same thing.

TooTall194550d ago

They are not the same thing though. It is an easy way of telling who has played the game and who hasn't.

TheFallenAngel4550d ago (Edited 4550d ago )

Im saying that because most of the Uncharted 3 reviews said that every PS3 owner should buy it. I was in the uncharted 3 beta and I bought uncharted 2. The single player in uncharted 2 is one of the best ever but I only played it once. I don't like the Uncharted multiplayer so I bought MW3.

Majin-vegeta4550d ago

*I know why do people hate MW3?*

Here's one of the reasons. http://n4g.com/news/882699/...

1.Not to mention game looks like it's from 2007.
2.Seems more like an add on instead of a full game
3.it's rushed out the door with the same problems every year partying up,voice communication etc.

You get the idea.

iHEARTboobs4550d ago

You think IW is the only developer that recycles? If so, i'll lmao!

1. 2007? Really? Not the best graphics but certainly up to par for today's standards. But I guess you just have higher standards than me.
2. If it seems that way it's because you haven't played it and only listen to what the rest of the sheep say.
3. 2 years wasn't rushed. New campaign, multiplayer modes, maps, etc. I'm actually surprised how well it's been so far considering the whole drama IW went through at the end of production of WM2.

guitarded774550d ago (Edited 4550d ago )

Because it's the super cool thing to do right now... makes people feel as if they have a big e-wiener.

I think CoD MW2 was akin to when Metallica did the Black album and even your little sister was listening to them all the sudden... the next few albums from Metallica sucked and then Death Magnetic came along which was like the old stuff, just not as good or fresh... but still good. Does this make sense?

I've personally had my odds with the CoD series and went into MW3 with very low expectations... maybe that's why I'm actually enjoying the game.

buckley4550d ago (Edited 4550d ago )

My story is similar. I thought MW3 would be fun but wasn't expecting much, and so far it's definitely surpassed my expectations.

In a nutshell, though, you're right. If you're a "real gamer," you're supposed to hate MW3 right now. Whatever. Don't try to decide for me if I'm a "gamer" or not.

joelpk4550d ago

It's the first Call of Duty game I've just not been interested in since Call of Duty 3. It's not that it's a bad game, by any means, I've just become more interested in single player games lately.

The entire time I've been gaming this gen I've been playing competitive multiplayer; whether it be CoD or Gears or Halo.

I'm sure I'll pick MW3 up, but those days of getting frustrated at stats are long gone.

Call of Duty Players Disappointed by $80 B.E.A.S.T. Glove Bundle Deal

Recently, players of Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone were met with a new bundle featuring the B.E.A.S.T. Glove, inspired by King Kong's armament in the Godzilla x Kong movie. However, the $80 price tag attached to this themed accessory left many Call of Duty fans feeling underwhelmed.

Morons that allow themselves to be milked continuously by this company is the definition of irony.
Spend more $$ and you'll end up In easier lobbies so you win both ways when ya spend that cash

melons14d ago

Controversy in the COD community feels like it happens within an alternate timeline. Activision will take the piss with something, there will be a momentary fuss about it, and then they will forget about it and carry on anyway. Repeat this cycle literally every year for the rest of time.

Gridknac14d ago

They call that a crack head! Thats what this is really about, its an addiction. People who dont smoke cigarettes look and laugh at the addicts that spend $8-$10 a pack, but they cant help themselves, they are addicted. That same analogy applies perfectly to the whole MT industry. Only an addict that was not thinking clearly would spend this kind of money on something so frivolous. A round of multiplayer provides the same high a person gets from scratching a lotto ticket, or putting money on a sports bet. MT in general need to really be regulated because you have a generation of kids becoming adults who grew up only knowing the MT era of gaming. Its normal to them and they will in turn teach their kids the same by just being a gaming parent and getting their kids involved with them in gaming. Thats why no matter how ridiculous the headlines keep getting out of the MT industry, it never seems to fade or go away.

X-2313d ago

I'm so tired of hearing about what they're doing with this game, its never going to change and it's never going to value the consumer over money, furthermore the people who engage so heavily in the microtransactions I guess allegedly are having a blast and can't wait to do it some more this year when the new version of the game drops.

Cheech And Chong Are Coming To Call Of Duty Because Everything Must Be Consumed

The famous comedy duo is the latest example of pop culture becoming one big grey blob

Christopher29d ago

Certain to have some sort of reference to their online store for CBD/THC chews, which is advertising heavily online the last month or two.

Sciurus_vulgaris29d ago

The randomness of the multiplayer characters is one of reason I quit playing COD after briefly returning in 2022. We got Space Marines, rappers, tree monsters etc. all in a series called “ Modern Warfare”.

OtterX28d ago (Edited 28d ago )

I think if there was ever a time for a competitor to rise up and take away some of Call of Duty's thunder, the time would be now. A military shooter that takes itself seriously, not sold out to Fortnitism. Easier said than done, I know... but the time is ripe.

I can't stand this stuff either.

Palitera28d ago

There are tons of MP shooters that make no profit, if you're looking for one of those

fsfsxii28d ago

You guys have been saying this shit since 2009. Fortunately, nobody’s bringing down cod anytime soon, if ever.

crazyCoconuts28d ago

I agree. I really didn't like how the silliness takes away the gritty origins. That and all the crazy effects... dunno. I'm still playing it but I'd love for someone to steal their cheese and cater to grittier players

OtterX28d ago

@fsfsxii It's not so much wanting COD itself to die as it is wanting this silliness to die. Like CrazyCoconuts said, it takes from the grittiness. Many OG COD players want a straightup Military shooter experience, not silly costume time at Carnival.

is this what the kids want these days a pair of iconic stoners who were big in the 70s and have kind of held on I enjoyed their movies decades ago but I never recall the movie where cheech infiltrates a enemy base while chong snipes for support guess I must of missed that one

Man I'm getting to old for this

Knightofelemia28d ago (Edited 28d ago )

Cheech just looks so wrong in the picture.

Profchaos28d ago

Why just why. cod up in smoke

anast28d ago

They charge too much for a game that is kitsch.

MW3 missed its easiest opportunity to give us some of the best Call of Duty maps ever made

From Bootleg to Black Box, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 made a heartbreaking mistake by not remastering the bizarrely forgotten maps from its namesake.
