The 2023 first-person shooter video game Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 was created by Sledgehammer Games and released by Activision. It is the third game in the revived Modern Warfare subseries and the twentieth in the entire Call of Duty series. It is a follow-up to 2022’s Modern Warfare 2. The game was released on November 10, 2023, for PC, PlayStation, and Xbox.
Modern Warfare 3 continues the sub-series plot while maintaining the realistic, contemporary atmosphere of its predecessors. The narrative centers on Task Force 141, a multinational special operations force tasked with finding Vladimir Makarov, a terrorist and ultranationalist from Russia who is plotting to start a third World War.
There are sixteen remastered Modern Warfare 2 maps in the game’s multiplayer mode, and at least twelve more are scheduled to be added. It also includes a Zombies mode that was co-developed by Treyarch, the creator of the Black Ops subseries and revolves around an open-world player versus environment experience.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 tanks the reviews
According to sources involved with the development process, the most recent game in Activision Blizzard’s well-liked Call of Duty video game series was created in half the time of earlier editions. This fact may be a factor in the wave of negative reviews the game has received.
The game, which was the first major release following Microsoft’s $69 billion acquisition of Activision, has been badly received by critics who claim the plot moves too quickly. Most Call of Duty games take three years to build, but Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 was mostly completed in less than a year and a half.
Players are severely criticizing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, which has received poor ratings, reviews, and a user rating of just 1.5 on Metacritic. Modern Warfare 3 is being criticized by many players as one of the worst Call of Duty games ever created, and some even think it’s a money grab.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3’s 5 fans hated things
Single-player campaign
Fans claim that Modern Warfare 3’s single-player campaign is maybe the worst of all Call of Duty games. It sounds less like the greatest hits and more like lousy cover copies of earlier missions. It is superficial and boring. They feel it is wrapped up in a barely cohesive narrative with little to say, too preoccupied with reliving the good old days rather than concentrating on creating any new experiences worth cherishing.
Launching the game
PC players of Modern Warfare 3 must first start Modern Warfare 2 in order to play Modern Warfare 3. Activision’s intention to turn Modern Warfare 2 into a central location for everything Call of Duty, with Modern Warfare 3 being the first game to fall under its purview is the reason for the issue.
It takes at least 70-90 seconds to launch Modern Warfare 3. This time frame is only based on the overall experience. Players who are playing Modern Warfare 3 with its minimal or recommended system requirements may find it to be taking a longer time. For many Call of Duty enthusiasts, the lengthy process required to access Modern Warfare 3 has become more of a bother.
Network connection error
Many people are unable to log into Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and enjoy the multiplayer and zombie features because of a “network connection” issue. It is one of the more prevalent problems the community has been dealing with since its launch.
Inconsistent TTK
The “time-to-kill,” or TTK, has frequently generated discussion among Call of Duty gamers. Many were alarmed by the “atrocious” irregular TTK times in MW3, which are far longer than the quick TTK in MW2.
A COD enthusiast started a Reddit thread on November 11th to analyze the two worst aspects of MW3’s multiplayer thus far. Consequently, the “horrific” and “inconsistent” TTK is the worst thing in the game, which explains that it ruins gunfights in Modern Warfare 3.

Unfavorable spawns
Modern Warfare 3 still remains devoid of several multiplayer maps, as Activision, was compelled to remove them from rotation shortly after the game’s release.
Players’ complaints led to the removal of Quarry, Rundown, and Scrapyard from the Hardpoint playlists in the game last Thursday, November 9. Activision acknowledged “an issue causing unfavorable spawns” in a post on their social media account dedicated to tracking bugs.
Activision stated that Karachi was the latest city to be removed from Modern Warfare 3’s Cutthroat playlist as they attempted to “resolve an issue causing a player to spawn alongside enemies” on November 10.
On November 21, 2023, Activision released a patch note for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. Activision promises that this patch notes brings with it a number of fixes across various aspects of the game.
