A true new low for cod devs. Insulting campaign, the literal height of laziness.

[The Disappointer]

I mean, really, I am conditioned for these cod campaigns to be short, but wow. This one is not only short, its half of a normal short campaign because I do not count these open field dmz knockoff maps true campaign levels and this ♥♥♥♥ is full of them Seriously they can't even be bothered to give us 2 hours of set pieces anymore, this is a new level of insult.

As far as the actual story line go, despite being such a small scale event compared to how epic the original trilogy got, it's not a bad story perse, but it's nothing to write home about either. So the fact they couldn't even give us a traditional solid short fun set piece campaign like normal and instead throw us in bot filled dmz matches, sometimes literally back to back is insane. I can already hear their defense, some bs about players wanting more open world and less on rails, yeah eat ♥♥♥♥. If I wanted anything more then a on rail shootout with fancy set pieces I would have gone to play a real fps made by actual talented devs. Cod has become so lazy, they can't even meet their own sub par standards anymore.

It really shows this was to be dlc for the last game, I mean we already knew that, but they couldn't even pretend to hide it. Seriously I don't think I have even been so disappointed and insulted by a cod campaign than I have been after playing through this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. If any of the devs even the low level ones browse these forums, you should feel ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ashamed of yourself. This is so lazy even by cod lazy standards, pathetic , totally disgraceful and if you had any part in helping to craft this lazy campaign you should feel utterly embarrassed to have participated in such absolute ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and have your name attached to what has to be the most laziest, uninspired, and just plain bad cod campaign ever released. I mean serious, think of whatever was the worst cod campaign before this, I can at least assure you that so much more effort and time was put into making whatever it was than effort was put into this steaming pile of ♥♥♥♥ they just presented to us.

Every AAA devs nowadays does not care about making quality game anymore lol.
Too many faithful dogs around them to keep them fed.

[The Disappointer]

Yeah I feel foolish for buying it, but in my defense I had stoped play cod years ago, when they came back to steam I was able to pick up some of the ones I missed for cheap and play through some of their campaigns and it was fun because I missed those cheesy set pieces battles cod always excelled at. MW1 and 2 remake both had obvious flaws, but ultimately both campaigns were fun enough that I didn't feel insulted after playing them . Seeing how I bought all those cod discounted, as a show of good will on my part I bought this one on release not really caring to much about the multiplayer, I mean Ill play it from time to time when I'm in the mood, but not one of those people that play it for hours upon hours nightly, too boring. I expected this campaign to be shorter, then normal, but my god I did not expect anywhere close to the laziness that was displayed here. I am sort of at a loss of words. The dev team is literally worse than the memes, you guys haven't memed hard enough to illustrate just how ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ lazy, greedy, and untalented this publisher and team of devs are. Not just cod standards, just aaa gaming standards in general this might be the most disgraceful game ever.

A cod game, too lazy to even be a cod game, jaw dropping ♥♥♥♥ really.

make sure you leave appropriate feedback when it comes up

[djcarey]

Remember when black ops 4 was transitioning into battle.net with it's first release... now this can't be all that bad compared to that.. they even threw a battle royal instead of a real game.. it was a pathetic joke..

The moment they migrated all future MW releases into one launcher is when i knew they gonna created half-asset for quick cash grabbing as every feedbacks now redirect to the launcher meaning the review'll mix up between MW2 & MW3 with no way to sort it out.
You won't even know whether the game is good or bad anymore thanks to this shady move.

[The Disappointer]

Well after browsing around here and other forums it seems everyone other than literal trolls that say the opposite just to be stand offish agree that this campaign was the height of laziness. I mean some people are upset about the story itself or the cliffhanger, but that is honestly the least of the problems. I expect them to always underwhelm in story length and to cut it off in a cliff hanger, that doesn't shock me or even really bother me, it's something you should already be numb to if you have played in of the modern entries in the series.

The truly insulting part is that half of an already shorter than the normal short campaign is single player dmz missions and not even good ones which is even more shocking cause dmz in itself is lazy with it's ♥♥♥♥ ai spawns and tactics, but they found away to do that even lazier as well. The fact that half of the missions are these maps and sometimes you get them literally back to back is just insane.

I don't even want my money back, obviously the multiplayer will still work and as much as I enjoy a cheesy normal cod campaign, even I know they are never worth the price of entry alone, but again even tho I enjoy the single player campaign normally, I don't mind too much paying to play it even when its normally short and overly under whelming, but again the height of laziness of this campaign is truly shocking.

Like I said they can keep my money, it's like giving a drug using friend or family member a little money when they are looking pathetic and down on their luck as they beg you that they have changed and need help and you give them a little money to get on their feet and they go down the street and instantly spend it on drugs again. So greedy cod devs, enjoy my 70 bucks, I hope it you guys get a nice high from it, because much like I had quit buying cod several years back, it's time to just stop buying them once again. I'll check back in 5-10 years when I can pick up another handful of them discounted again and expect to play even lazier content at the rate they are going and even if they show good will like they did when mw19 jumped back up in quality compared to the slump they fell down, I'll just keep ignoring them at full price because you greedy bastards have spent what ever good will I still had toward you for life, which was already really low to begin with.

Seriously tho I know there is a large portion of people that never touch single player even when it's good, but even you people know that their exists a large portion of the audience that still enjoy the often short, but at least stupidly fun set piece romps that they traditionally give us, it's like we already became ok with them being short and often underwhelming, but replacing set piece rail romps with piss poor dmz ai bot matches is just, something that can not really be put into words even tho I and others have already said a lot, but you really can't measure the disappointment in words. It really is like helping out an old friend or family member, who you remember really enjoying in their prime and know they have changed for the worse, but deal with their flaws and still try to make the best of the situation and then they go out of there way to screw you over as if to personally insult you for being one of the last people dumb enough to still try to help them. Again I can only blame myself for giving these devs 70 bucks. I wasn't aware they had spiraled to this down right pathetic level of their blood money addiction.

Hope you guys can sniff a lot of glue from the early access money you made because from all the complaints I am reading everywhere, you guys finally found away to alienate the portion of your fan base that still was willing to pay you for these joke of campaigns, but even making short on rail romps takes too much effort for you vultures now. I am legit more shocked than angered by all of this. It's really telling when a dev you already deemed lazy finds away to be so lazy that you just simply say wow, you pathetic lazy pos even by lazy standards. Truly pity their dev team, the morale of that place must be so low, I've literally seen fast food workers take more pride in their work than what was displayed in this game by this dev team.

In a way it was worth the 70 bucks, from a pure shock stand point alone, because it is truly shocking how little they think of their player base when it is already known they think very little of them to begin with, but people can always go lower. Hope anyone that sticks around for the next campaign enjoys having it be entirely dmz missions with no cut scenes whatsoever because that is where they are going at this rate.

It was known that MW3 is a bit reworked MW2 with recycled maps.
YOU KNEW WHAT YOU WERE GETTING.

Go on and show me one post made anywhere even on leak forums, that half the campaign was literally going to be dmz missions. Go on I'll wait. That is what you don't seem to get. This is beyond laziness. Memes literally did not exist prior to this early launch to describe the level of laziness that was on display here.

Even you people that love to make fun of or get down on the people that still enjoy these short on rail half assed cod campaigns would be shocked at how far they dropped the ball this time. They were literally to lazy to make their own lazy game. Literally the game would have been better if they had removed the dmz missions and made the campaign even shorter, because then we could at least take solace, well we knew it was going to be even shorter than normal. No it is more insulting than that, because they literally padded it with dmz ai missions and have the nerve to call it a campaign and this knowledge was hidden even from the leaks. I mean they are not fun, but if you were going to pad with them, why not have added a dozen more, they are such low effort maps, and yet they are to lazy to even pad with them more likely because they realize they are just plain bad and have zero redeeming qualities, they only put as many of them as they did because otherwise the campaign would have really been around an hour. Believe me a new wave of memes will be made about cod now, it's always shocking when a truly lazy person does something so lazy that leaves you jaw dropped on just how lazy they chose to be.

I think the open world missions are the only thing that made this campaign interesting. Without those it's another boring on the rails snoozefest.

Pretty sure your trolling, but go on and literally explain why you think they are good because their literally exists examples of these open world missions done right. In both mw2019 and part 2 had a couple of these missions, where the ai actually somewhat behaved good enough to at least make it interesting, multiple paths and ways to get through them and they actually fit in the narrative of the situation and despite still preferring the on rail sections, they were fun enough diversions that didn't leave you walking way with a disgusting taste in your mouth.

The ones in this game however are not like that at all. The ai is broken in all of them, it is the literal equivalent to queuing up for dmz right now and going hog wild on the bots roaming around. They can all be beaten by literally rushing to the goal, even if you chose to play them slowly, the ai teammates who are not on the map with you, who are literally talking over on radio pretending to be on the map with you, nag you every 5 seconds if you are not dive bombing toward the goal. The ai is so brain dead that you can kill them in front of each other or and they can not find you or sometimes for random reasons all of them across the map see you at the same time through the walls. They literally spawn in front of you out of thin air. For the fun of it I sniped the area out only to literally watch it repopulate in mere seconds.

So forgive me for questioning your opinion as not valid, but even if you love these open world missions, I would think even you would be insulted how piss poor the ones here were compared to the ones they have shown plenty of times they are capable of making if you truly prefer this game play vs the on rail shooting sections. I just can't take you serious because it would be you admitting that you prefer your video games to be as piss poor as possible.

So yeah, valid opinion if you prefer open world vs rails, but don't try to pretend the ones presented in this game were not piss poor and lazy, it makes it impossible to think of you as anything more than a troll or just someone with piss poor taste in game design and maybe that really is the case. Maybe it's a youth thing, forite must have literally rotted the brains of the youth and their ability to critically judge when a game is absolute ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ from games where actual effort was put in. Because even if I loved these dmz type missions I would be disappointed by the lack of effort shown in this game towards them.

Because someone's opinion differs makes them a troll? I think you need to understand how opinions work.

But if you want my honest opinion, i think COD campaigns are piss poor, and always have been. The writing is uniformly terrible, and you can blaze through them with absolutely zero effort or challenge. You play them once, forget about them and never touch them again. Or like most of the player base, never touch them at all.

Well when you read what I just said and instantly respond out of the gate with "because someone's opinion differs make them a troll and the try to chastise me for it ignoring literally the entire post, that really makes me think of you as a troll.

I literally said your opinion is valid if you prefer the dmz missions vs on rail, I do not buy the fact however that these dmz missions in this particular campaign were done well or deserving of any praise what so ever. I then challenged you to use your own words and explain to me how the dmz missions in this game was well done and to explain why you enjoyed them enough to take the time to come defend them in this thread.

You then prove my point in that you can't defend them, you are here just to be contradictory. I didn't ask you what your general feeling about cod campaigns were, you go on to essentially admit you didn't even play this game and are literally here just to troll.

So allow me to give you one more chance, please tell me specifically what you liked about the dmz missions from this game and this game only. I am not asking you about past cod campaigns, I am not asking you about on rail shooting sections vs open world, I am asking you specifically about the offerings that were presented to us in this game because even if you were an absolute fanboy of these type of missions, even you should feel insulted by how lazy and poor they made them compared to past dmz type missions in other campaigns, unless you literally have no standards at all when it comes to your entertainment.

Again let me spell it crystal clear, your opinion doesn't make you a troll, your ability to not be able to read what I am typing or to actively ignoring what I am typing and then being unable to explain your praise and then trail off into a different subject leads me to believe you are a troll.

[The Disappointer]

K you are to wordy to be a troll, so I am not quite sure what the communication issue is here or why you can't directly answer what I am asking you. Lets take things really slowly.

Your original comment was "I think the open world missions are the only thing that made this campaign interesting. Without those it's another boring on the rails snoozefest."

Which was in response to my comments specifically on this game, not the series in general meaning logic would dictate, you to would be comment upon this actual edition of the game and not the franchise as whole, you now have proven yet again you did not actually play this game and are still giving broad generalizations about the franchise as a whole and doing your damnedest to avoid having to talk about specifics from this campaign because it is now clear you didn't actually play it and you responded to my topic to troll out of boredom or whatever it is that makes you excited to behave in such a manner.

You are now actively adding more words to what I said, proving you literally lack the ability to read or you are choosing to read what you want to see and are responding to a conversation going on in your own head actively ignoring any of what I am actually writing, so yeah congrats you convinced me you are a troll and that is much nicer than the alternative of me suggesting you are just a moron who can't read or have a real conversation.

What does any of your multiplayer stats have to do with my original question at all. Whats the brag here, that you spend way to much of your free time on ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥? I'll take the hit, I know cod campaigns are ♥♥♥♥, I even said they were in general in my post that you seem to lack the ability to read. I still enjoy them in the same way someone enjoys a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ action movie, it's not high art, but it's fun to turn off your brain and watch garbage from time to, movie watching becomes quite dull if you watch nothing but masterpieces back to back to back to back, variety is the spice of life after all. Again my enjoyment of cod on rail campaigns and your enjoyment of the multiplayer has literally nothing to do with the nature of my original post or the question I asked you.

So even tho you lack the respect or the ability to even try to pretend to read what I am typing to you, I have read everything you have said and understand your position. You hate cod campaigns and their on rail nature and you get turned on and excited to play dmz, good on ya dude. Not sure where in your twisted mind you got that I thought cod was high art, but I gotta remember you are a moron so lets humor you and pretend I said that. Now even if I consider it high art, I can still tell you the difference between a well made on rail shooter from a half ass lazy one. Are you not able to do this for dmz type maps. Can you not explain to me what makes a well made dmz map and scenario from a ♥♥♥♥ one, maybe you can't maybe dmz maps are so poorly designed there really is no difference between a good one or a bad one, maybe it really is designed to entertain the dumbest among us which you seem to fall into and its all one big blur to you as in all ♥♥♥♥ is equally fun to you long as its the ♥♥♥♥ you enjoy, you lack the function in your brain to be able to tell well made from ♥♥♥♥ because as long as its ♥♥♥♥ in general you seem to be more than happy to roll in it.

So why don't you have some self respect and just be honest, you didn't play this game and have no real opinion about it, you just wanted to argue with me for whatever random reason decided to make you post. I would have more respect for you as an honest troll than a lier.

So go on and try to insult me some more and tell me about more things I never said. Yeah I enjoy cod campaigns the same way I enjoy a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ fast food burger from time to time. They are never great foot and ultimately a waste of time and unhealthy for you, but damn once in awhile that garbage really hits the spot and is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ delicious. I hope you get your wish and you get tons more half ass poorly made dmz scenarios for you to run through, whatever makes you happy.

I do want to thank you tho, you convinced me to just go ahead and refund this garbage. I was going to eat the 70 bucks and say egg on my face because it at least helps fund the multiplayer which is obviously is not my favorite part of the series, but I am not in denial that the single player fans are the minority and the multiplayer as dull as it is keeps a lot of people happy. However if you are an example of the current crop of the player base, where not only is your standards never been lower as far as what counts as well made game, but your actively rooting for them to rip off and make piss poor single player games even tho it effects your multiplayer scenarios in no way shows what an absolute ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ you and anyone that shares your opinion are. So yeah they ain't going to miss my 70, but at least I will know it's not being used to rip further single player fans off and or enable trolls like you. It's fine tho, I am sure you are willing to buy enough over priced skins to keep things afloat. I truly hope you enjoy your future lazily made dmz missions, after all you get the game you deserve and clearly you feel you deserve the absolute lowest amount of work and effort to craft your entertainment scenarios, so hey more power to you and your fellow paste eaters.

[Raze]

They don't put in a lot of effort anymore because it sells regardless. They just hand out copies to youtubers and streamers and they hype it up and make it seem like the hottest thing, so people buy it. At this point its so mainstream that there isn't much they can do to really impact their bottomline, because there will always be a horde of stupid teenage gamers that can be convinced to ask their parents to buy it.

[The Disappointer]

Cool story bothog. Least in your own way you finally admitted you replied to the post as a troll, was getting worried you might be mentally handicapped there for a bit and I was picking on you. Maybe if you keep practicing one day you will actually be good at trolling, doubt it, but something to aim for right?

The fact that half of the missions are these maps and sometimes you get them literally back to back is just insane.

Do you not like the non linear open missions? It is not like they were hard, the enemies were not hard either. It was chill, and having hidden weapons and such around the map is cool. I don't know what to say other than the vast majority do like these missions, hence why DMZ is and was so popular, and why people asked for MWZ.

What's the alternative? Cut the maps down even more so you can just follow a line start to finish and get fid generic dialogue in between? You are saying that is more fun?

What about campaign length. It is only short if you play an easy difficulty or you are already really good at CoD in general. I beat the game on 2nd highest difficulty in like 3 hrs or less, and that is because of the cut scenes, many of which were not skippable.

People will sht on this because its reusing assets and a game mode DMZ, that they already had. However I don't know if you know this but every game across the industry does this. Maybe you don't realize it because they change the color or shading of the asset, but most games just reuse to hell any assets they possibly can. Path of Exile has been doing this for a decade and its worked great for them.

Personally I could care less about the campaign. I thought it was decent enough for a CoD game, and I didn't expect anything revolutionary or ground breaking. The graphics were good, the story was as expected, and the game play is as expected, because this is CoD. It doesn't ever really change.

[LazyAmerican]

Yea wasn't a fan tbh....the DMZ style is just bland and also annoying as hell because when you die you have to start the whole damn level over again which isn't my idea of a CoD campaign and more importantly just isn't fun.
