CoD players claim Makarov \u201cfell off\u201d in MW3\u2019s campaign ActivisionMakarov has proven himself to be one of CoD\u2019s greatest villains, yet his latest reimagining has left players severely disappointed at how \u201cwatered down\u201d he became. 2023\u2019s MW3 has been the center of much attention, for better and worse. While fans have had their fair share of criticism on the multiplayer component, overall reception has been positive due to the return of CoD\u2019s arcade-like roots. On the other hand, the campaign itself has been blasted to the moon and back, as it\u2019s been at the forefront of heavy criticism and jokes, most notably Christopher Judge\u2019s roast during The Game Awards. One of the many campaign critiques was its villain, with players roasting the implementation of a reimagined Makarov. Note: Spoilers for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 will follow. CoD players compare Makarov of new and old For those out of the loop, the new Modern Warfare trilogy saw the developers retell the tale of the previous trilogy via a \u201creimagining.\u201d Fans have seen many familiar faces, albeit with minor shifts to their personas or roles. One constant, out of Captain Price and Ghost, is Makarov, the nefarious villain from the previous trilogy who basically started World War 3. Makarov returned in MW3, and after how evil he was years ago, fans were excited to see if he would remain consistently villainous. However, while his reimagined self remained a villain, his persona felt anything but that. Reception of his return has been evil, with fans claiming he\u2019s the weakest villain to date. Others have charted his \u201cfall off,\u201d such as this post shared to the Call of Duty subreddit. \u201cMW3 has quite possibly the worst campaign in the series,\u201d one player replied. They continued: \u201cGood thing Multiplayer and Zombies are fun because god damn the story was not doing the game any favors.\u201d This seemed to be the general consensus, as players felt Makarovs\u2019 return was heinous in execution, not in action. There were also roasts of the character\u2019s appearance, with many feeling he looked anything less than scary. One player replied: \u201cAlso to note that the guy on the right doesn\u2019t look terrifying or menacing at f**king all.\u201d Keep in mind, with Call of Duty\u2019s revised approach to storytelling via Warzone, MW3\u2019s Makarov may see his villainous nature fleshed out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
