MW3 meme \u201caged well\u201d as history repeats itself over a decade later ActivisionMW3 2023 caught a lot of flack during its launch, and a meme from nearly a decade ago seems to paint the same picture of the original MW3 that came out in 2011. MW3 has been in a strange position since its reveal and launch, as it\u2019s become the butt of numerous jokes and harsh criticisms. Most notably, Christopher Judge roasted the game\u2019s campaign portion during his speech at The Game Awards last December. The core of the argument is many felt it would\u2019ve been better received as an expansion to last year\u2019s title, not a $70 package. However, that\u2019s not the timeline we live in, and claims of reskinned DLC will forever stick to this title\u2019s legacy. Oddly enough, this isn\u2019t the first CoD title to receive the \u201creskinned DLC label.\u201d Funnily enough, it was the game of the same title over a decade ago that fought these accusations. MW3 meme describes fan sentiment from over a decade ago 2011 saw Infinity Ward and Sledgehammer Games team up to release Modern Warfare 3, the epic conclusion to the original trilogy. Despite overwhelming praise from critics, fans heavily labeled it as \u201cMW2.5\u201d since many felt it didn\u2019t change the formula enough like MW2 did for the series. In all fairness, 2009\u2019s MW2 raised the bar absurdly high for Call of Duty, introducing Killstreaks, weapon customization, and many more features that would become staples of the franchise. Surpassing that was an otherwordly task that no title could perform, but MW3 did fine for itself. Fast forward 12 years, and this version of MW3 has fans feeling the same way. A post on the MW3 subreddit said: \u201cThis aged well,\u201d with a meme from nearly a decade ago, where a player uses an expo marker to write a three on MW2\u2019s disc, basically sharing how they felt about both titles. This year\u2019s issue feels a bit more complex, with the Carry Forward system and 16 maps from 2009\u2019s MW2 doing more harm than good for the game\u2019s overall narrative. There\u2019s also the ordeal that it was rumored to be DLC before its announcement until it pivoted into a full title. This isn\u2019t the first time both MW3 titles caught flack, as 2011\u2019s version was caught in a review bomb when last year\u2019s title dropped. It seems both titles will be linked together forever, although it may be for bad reasons rather than fond memories.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
