Outraged MW3 players explain why CoD is a \u201cshell of what it used to be\u201d ActivisionMW3 players are livid with the state of the game and CoD in general, as they reflect on what the series \u201cused to be.\u201d Since the franchise\u2019s big splash in 2007, Call of Duty has significantly changed. Franchise veterans know this very well, as what once started as a \u201csmall\u201d multiplayer experience has evolved into a titan in the industry, with Warzone boosting the game\u2019s hold of the FPS genre. However, this evolution has come at quite a cost, as with MW3, a portion of players have been mightily dissatisfied. The conversation surrounding the latest CoD has been hot, to say the least, with players questioning nearly every aspect of the game, from SBMM to shop practices and more. On the heels of Season 2 Reloaded\u2019s arrival, player frustration is through the roof, with the latest wave of frustration summarizing years\u2019 worth of changes. MW3 players rip into the state of CoD Shared to the Modern Warfare 3 subreddit, one CoD player brutally ripped into the franchise and MW3 in general. \u201cThe state of this game is a joke,\u201d they started. \u201cIt\u2019s a fraction of what CoD used to be,\u201d they continued, before stating Activision \u201cstripped away\u201d everything that made the franchise fun. They continued to rip into nearly every aspect of MW3, with cheating, spawns and bugs a heavy topic of ire for the player. Of course, there was the shoutout to SBMM, something that\u2019s been heavy on the community\u2019s mind for the past few years. They concluded: \u201cCOD hasn\u2019t been COD in 5 years. It\u2019s been a trash of a game that uses the Call of Duty name.\u201d The comments were all pretty much in unison with OP\u2019s opinion, with many players sharing frustration with MW3\u2019s in-game connection. \u201cThe server bullsh*t is what does it for me. My connection is f**king rock solid. I have no issues with any other online multiplayer games. Yet, I load into a match in CoD and the upper left portion of my screen lights up like a f**king Chevy truck dashboard,\u201d one player said. For those keeping track at home, CoD\u2019s been dominating the FPS market for over 15 years, as yearly entries top the charts. In that period, the scene hasn\u2019t seen a competitor successfully challenge CoD, which one player highlighted. \u201cI think the main issue is that there is no real competitor for CoD. For a straightforward, small map, quick match, standard gun type gun play what else is there? Let me know and I\u2019ll switch. It\u2019s a monopoly.\u201d Sledgehammer Games has been pretty solid when it comes to community feedback since MW3 launched. Time will tell if the studio can address the experience before the next title arrives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
