Modern Warfare 2019 faced a tall task when it arrived, as it had to follow in the footsteps of the legendary trio of titles that made Call of Duty what it is today. While its landing left much to be desired amongst the multiplayer community, fan sentiment was high on the campaign. It reintroduced many of the Modern Warfare trilogy\u2019s most iconic characters in a new light and set MW3 up for massive stakes. Now that players are getting their hands on the campaign via early access, it seems the hype has all but died out, with initial reactions less than pleased. MW3 early access players react to the campaign With MW3, Sledgehammer Games aimed for something a bit different with its campaign offering. This entry introduces \u201cOpen Combat Missions\u201d which are missions that provide players with immense freedom on how they want to complete their objective. However, after getting their hands on it, it seems some players aren\u2019t fans of MW3\u2019s approach to its campaign. Initial reactions have flooded the MW3 Reddit, where one player stated: \u201cThis campaign is basically Warzone with cutscenes.\u201d They went on to elaborate: \u201cThe first mission starts off as your usual Cod campaign, something feels off though, the missions after that have been awful, this game just screams that it was thrown together at last minute just so they could charge full price.\u201d One ire that has originated since Warzone\u2019s arrival back in 2020 has been the fact the developers have tried to tie it into the core CoD experience. For example, Modern Warfare II\u2019s narrative expanded with every new season of content. If you don\u2019t play Warzone, you\u2019ll miss out on some lore before the next title. MW3 takes the Warzone tie-in a step further, with the Open Combat Missions playing out just like a match of Warzone, as one player reflected. On the other hand, plenty of fans shared praise for the campaign\u2019s unique approach to the linear formula the series has embraced. The good news is there\u2019s only a handful of these missions, so it does eventually go back to its linear roots.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MW3 players feel the campaign is just \u201cWarzone with cutscenes\u201d ActivisionMW3 players are getting their hands on the early access campaign, and their initial reactions are less than stellar.
