The campaigns are generally very good in the Call of Duty games, but Modern Warfare 3’s actually managed to rival the enjoyment I got out of the campaign of Call of Duty 4, which was to say, a lot. To begin, the single player campaign is actually surprisingly great. The overall package is a mixed bag to be honest, but one that comes out on top. That goes for the multiplayer as well as the single player.
That is to say it is good, frustrating, impressive and convoluted all at once. Modern Warfare 3 is no different than its predecessors, really. It is a package where you know almost exactly what you’re getting when you pick it up, regardless of whether you do so for the single player experience, the multiplayer experience or even the Spec Ops mode.
Call of Duty is one of those odd games that people seem to love to hate, and then buy anyway.
