This game is definitely divisive. At the time it came out, I really didn't like it but now I have been enjoying the game so much, in fact I tried going back to play Black Ops 4 multiplayer and couldn't finish a match because the maps and gameplay are so boring to me now. Idk man, I'm very mixed on Modern Warfare 3 so don't take it the wrong way if you think I'm too harsh on it. It is a fun game nonetheless. ____TIME STAMPS____ Introduction - 0:00 Development - 4:40 Campaign (Story) - 8:17 Campaign (Gameplay) - 21:53 Multiplayer - 23:58 Customization - 28:59 Killstreaks & Balancing - 31:16 Same Shit, Different Game - 35:18 Map Design - 39:18 Spec Ops (Survival) - 41:24 Spec Ops (Missions) - 46:32 Conclusion - 48:43

I mean it’s hard to actually hate the game. It’s not doing anything wrong other than not differentiating hard enough from the previous MW games. When you’re spending 60-80$ for a game (on top of paid DLC), people expect it to be worth it and considering how little time there was between the MW games on top of black ops having such variety and sense of personalized style to it unlike the Grey and browns of the Modern warefare games which is a hard to personalize, i don’t blame the folks who sniffed their noses at it and either stucked with MW2 or looked elsewhere. I also don’t think it was the right decision to simply neuter a series’s multiplayer for the sake of “balance”. Balance should be tertiary to priority number 1: MAKE IT FUN, and priority number 2: MAKE IT FUNCTIONAL. That doesn’t mean they didn’t have no reason to tighten up some of the really messed up problems in MW2 or other CoD multiplayers but it’s never a good idea to simply take away what people had fun with or insisting on making the players play the way the developers want you to play it. At that point, you’re just inviting people to stick to the previous games since if everything else is basically the same Except the balance, why move on to MW3?

There's actually something about the story especially at the end that i think the developer's were attempting but most people actually didn't notice. Yuri was there in almost every important event in Makarov's plans. Doesn't that sound similar? Yuri was Makarov's Soap. The devs just failed to emphasize on that.

6:50 This quote rings very true, and the fact that the upcoming Modern Warfare II has 3,000+ people working on it does not sound good at all. For context, COD 4 was made by about 100 people, and BO3 was made by about 260.

zBreezy Survival..ohh I love survival

Now you never know how good you had it till it was gone

One of my favorite touches of the part of turbulence where makarov pops out of the door, is where in red letters it says “Objective failed” all you did was follow the sequence but this isn’t like the other games where everything sorts itself out by the end of the mission. Then it’s like no matter what you do, you just can’t do right, you follow what you’re told in the clock tower, and soap ends up dying while also thinking you’re sabotaging the team, and soap died thinking you were a traitor, which makes price question your intentions
