Modern Warfare 3 should be multi-player only

Suspiria79

I'm new to the call of duty scene but never seem to play the campaign much at all. I just hit up multi-player and get lost in it. I tried playing the campaign the other night to save some bandwidth for the end of the month and it was fair annoying. In MW2 listening to a celebrity voice-over saying "Burger Town" non-stop. Jeez, I thought I was in an ad for Burger Town or something.

Shooting computer players isn't fun anymore. And the money they spend on making the campaign would be better spent making multi-player even better. More maps and anything else that would make it fun.

I remember when Black Ops came out and I saw a clip online, some guy just bought it, and went straight into multi-player. I was thinking WTF? Why not just get a feel for the game and play the one-player mode. But now it all makes sense.


With all the problems of PSN lately it goes to show everyone just wants to be online and enjoy playing against real people.

Just make it Modern Warfare 3 online. That's where we all wanna be. The campaign just feels like an extra addition in which most of us play just out of curiosity.

You would be surprised the amount of people who prefer the single player v multiplayer, both are equally as important. I'm sure they're are plenty of people who don't play online at all, no internet or whatever.

I agree, both COD4 and MW2 have some amazing levels, One Shot One Kill, Death From Above, No Russian, Contingency to name but a few. Plus I wanna see what happens Soap and Price and how the story with Makarov pans out.

Bring Spec Ops back too.

All gihllied up aswell.

I loved MW2's storyline but never played Black ops'

I will be honest about this, I only bought W@W for the zeds, MW2 for the multiplayer and the Hardened Ed of Black Ops for the zeds. I did not care much for the other aspects of the game and if I could, I would buy these sections of the game on their own.
When I think about it, for me the rest of the disc was forced DLC... without the download.

I agree... somewhat with you OP.

I personally devote the first handful of hours after buying a game into single player and getting it out of the way before jumping straight onto multiplayer. As you said, it gives me a feel for the game, the guns and so on.
I'm in the miniorty yet again I'm confident of that

MW2 and BOPs has some very good missions sure, but COD4 is on a completely different level with regards to singleplayer (as well as multiplayer ).

MW2 was simply one big Michael Bay movie for the majority of it.

BOPs was interesting at least for me as I was on always rather interested in the Cold War as a kid, but it went a tad loco towards the end and I had lost interest by then due to predicting what would happen to Mason from the 2nd mission onwards.

Both offered something different, but it was COD4 that offered both.

The storyline needs to be concluded at the very least first and foremost with the MW series. I'd like to see more focus on Spec Ops with it perhaps replacing campaign as such (remember that in Spec Ops you can play Solo). Not overly keen about a story, MW2 didn't provide one and it was excellent.

Haven't gotten into the MW2 single player during this free time like I could have completed it a couple of times over at this stage but I've been shopping and researching and being productive for a change! Also doesnt help that I had already looked up the ending on youtube and know about Sheppard and Ghost dying and that. On whiskey hotel level I think and still not sure why everyone loves ghost. He wears a balaclava into battle I suppose. Some levels so far are fairly spectacular visually but there was nothing really new which is hard to produce these days in fairness. I remember how MOH frontline came out and I played the D-day mission and it was just a whole new experience at the time. Love WMD, the mission, of all the ones on Black ops. The SR71, clearing out the different rooms, using the crossbow to get into the tower silently, the rappelling and the base jumps even though it only last 5 seconds or so. If they had hopped on snowboards and snowboarded off the cliff into the jump it coulve been a bit better. As ade says the twist in the main storyline is a bit too predictable.

I can understand what the OP is hitting at. A multiplayer only game would probably mean a more quality game as IW, etc could spend more on designing maps and possibly dedicated servers

But I don't see that happening any time soon. Personally I only play the campaign to get it out of the way and for achievements (:pac:), not for fun.

I loved the Campaign mode in CoD4, although there was plenty of bull**** it was somewhat "realistic" on a CoD scale, the situations encountered in the game weren't to bizarre. MW2 and BoPs on the other hand were awful, I hate Campaign storylines which look like they've been robbed from some glorified 1 man rambo movie type crap.

If they took out the campaign they wouldn't reappropriate most of the monies, they would simply back pocket it. Remember, these games never get finished, they get released, massive difference. They would keep the design team sizes the same, with more or less the same budget if they took out the campaign.

I need a game to have a campaign/single player/story element. I LOVE stories, movies and books, so it carries over to my love of video games, I need them to have a good story element for at least a few hours. It's the reason I love Assassins Creed, GTA and Elder Scrolls, the story keeps me interested for hours.

COD Story elements are relatively short but play out like a movie and are fantastic, context is needed in these games I think.

Im in the same boat as you. Bate straight into the SP mode and get as much enjoyment as I can till I devour the multiplayer.
