CoD MW3 isn’t half as bad as we expected. <\/p>

Any fan of the Call of Duty franchise will tell you that the conversation around this year\u2019s new entry, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3<\/a>, has not been positive for the most part.<\/p>\n

Reports that MW3 was originally planned as a DLC for MW2, only to be changed into a full-price release midway through production, certainly started things off on a sour note. Nobody likes to be charged more than they were initially expecting, do they?<\/p>\n

What didn\u2019t help matters is that MW3\u2019s single-player campaign<\/a>, which released earlier than the multiplayer modes for players that pre-ordered the game, marked a stark change from what fans have come to expect. While there were some traditional linear levels, there were also \u2018open\u2019 missions that looked more like Warzone maps with a few objectives dotted about.<\/p>\n

Again, this pre-announced feature would\u2019ve put a sour taste in the mouth of traditional CoD campaign fans before they\u2019d even completed the game\u2019s sizeable install and started playing. So, surely the game is a total car crash and not something we\u2019d recommend at all? If that kind of takedown is what you\u2019ve been expecting to read here, you\u2019d actually be wrong!<\/p>\n

That\u2019s right, folks. We\u2019re here to provide one of the more positive and optimistic MW3 reviews, as we\u2019ve actually had a pretty good time with it so far. Sure, it still stings that this could\u2019ve been a more affordable DLC as opposed to a \u00a360 investment, but reports of this being a terrible game are way wide of the mark.<\/p>
