What the MW3 single player campaign like? - Enemy Spoilers Incoming!

justsomebloke

sorry I'm just trolling. Like any of you have bothered playing it yet


but just in case what are people's feelings on it

krudler

I'm playing it now, on mission 6. its same old really, big setpieces interspersed with running down linear paths. the graphics in the NYC levels are brilliant though.

Nuri Sahin

4th mission is brilliant, the rest are ok.

cherryghost

It's quite good.

best one so far aye, I much prefer the slower paced missions or ones that arent just relentless waves of enemies. the

Sierra Leone mission is basicaly just the Favela level from MW2 but in Africa, even down to the falling through a roof then having to run for the chopper part. that remote control bot thing is cool though.

Nodferatu

so far pretty good i think, same old typical cod really, big set pieces.
i loved the 2nd or 3rd mission, water is involved i'll say no more

DarkJager

Brilliant of what I've played so far, about an hour in and still in act 1.

plane hijack and submarine attack were balls achingly good!

. I've loved the story to the modern warfare series and this so far is shaping up to be an explosive finish to it.

Do you play as soap or price? as well as some others.

chapter 1-5 spoiler :

neither so far, it picks up literally where MW2 finished, Soap is shot and you play as someone Nikolai knows for the first couple of missions with Soap and Price leading you, they're both in it though

Price is as badass as ever though.

battser

I did it again! LOL. DOH but thats good was wonderin. I actually thought you'd be Nikolai. cool. god 9 o clock cannot come quick enough

Nuri Sahin

Family vacations heh. Some will understand that reference when playing through campaign.

COD loves it controversial levels dont it.

Mission in

Paris with the Eiffel Tower collapsing while you switch between the AC130 and ground troops

was incredible.

Nuri Sahin

From the 4th mission onwards it was very enjoyable and the payoff was worth it

gcgirl

Nearly in tears when a certain some one died

! Yes I know I am useless especially when it comes to games and I've noticed they can actually talk into my iPhone and the the text is wrote !

minidazzler

A disclaimer before I write this, I was drunk when I played it, and then went from being drunk to being balls out insane on relentless.

I didn't like it quite as much as MW1 and 2, it's not as enjoyable, I didn't love my character, I wasn't really captivated. It's the classic tale of a trilogy, the third ones story has a certain lacking, but where exactly I don't know.

battser

Right started SP and liking it. Liking it though. Its solid and a real case of stick to whats good and they have done that. time for some MP

DrumSteve

Bought it today, finished it today. Thought it was okay, but they basically just copied the set pieces (and where they happen within the game) from mw2.

Washington Irving

Finished it there, took 4 and a half hours so pretty standard length for a COD game. Emjoyed it much more than MW2, had a lot more memorable missions. The best campaign since COD4 imo

badgerhowlin

krudler, what difficulty did you complete it on?

havent finished it yet, prefer to play it 2-3 missions at a time, its too relentless to play in extended sittings lol. the levels set in Paris are fcuking fantastic.

DarkJager

Just completed it now, best ending to a game ever

brutally satisfying end to makarov

. Highly recommended and probably the best in the Modern Warfare trilogy.

battser

Yeah I agree thought the ending was the most fitting it could have been. EPIC I thought! I am happy with it. Wasn't gonna go back and play on vet but think I will. Not just for another 6 months!

Absolutely, it's actually been on my mind all day in work. Literally one of the best if not the best ending I've ever seen in an FPS let alone a game.

thought it was over one minute when the news story about the war end came on, only for the 2 lads to burst out of a van in full body armour and start absolutely destroying every ****er in that hotel the next. The end of Makarov had my adrenaline pumping though, excellently done and so very fitting when youve followed the story of the 3 mw's.

Yeah,seemed to be more linear paths in this one,less freedom of movement.

I thought it was it was quite ironic and perhaps fitting when you take into context

how the airport mission panned out in mw2 and the look and feel of it

. Definitely a very fitting way to end the game.

krudler

finished it there, thought it was great, best campaign since COD4 imo, the last level is brilliant, not exactly subtle though :pac: will definitely play the campaign again, some fantastic missions.

Sad Professor

I really enjoyed the campaign. Great conclusion to the trilogy and the final scene was perfect. I'm a big fan of all of Infinity Ward's COD single player campaigns. The MW ones are short but sweet.

This one did seem much easier though. Even on normal I remember the first MW being fairly tricky in places. Although a lot of that was probably due to the constantly respawning enemies, something they seem to have toned down considerably in this game.

Finished it yesterday. Thought it was fantastic although something about it lacked somewhat in characters compared to the other games.....it's also pushing the boat out a little more than it did in the other games, in terms of 'Arnold Schwartzenegger Commando' type scenarios, but, as a game, we have to overlook these things

I wasn't expecting the last level at all, it was incredibly all kinds of awesome. The 4th mission, as well, was rather unique and something fresh to an otherwise great but predictable campaign.

I'm one of those people that buys COD titles first for SP, and secondly MP (rabid Halo fan so I very rarely buy other games based upon MP). And I wasn't disappointed in the slightest.

Difficulties are strange - Veteran is hard, yet Hardened is really easy....find that strange. Played a few missions again on Recruit, and it's literally impossible to die, you can walk into a group of enemies and it takes, even then, a fair bit of meleeing for you to keel over. It wasn't any sort of a challenge to finish the game on Hardened, so I'll revisit it in a month or two and play it on Veteran.

Solid SP game though, entertaining from start to finish. One thing the game deserves the utmost praise for is the fact that despite incredible environments and detailed models, the game runs at a consistently fluid pace unseen in any other game. Also, the sound is astounding. Much better than Black Ops, by comparison, though I loved that game also. Was playing with an amp and speaker set up, and some levels were just unspeakably awesome.

I got killed a few times on normal but its mostly from grenades, I remember COD4 on veteran , its a grenade littered nightmare

Completely agree, the difference between a fps at 60fps opposed to 30fps like BF3 and Crysis makes a massive difference. the engine is smooth as hell. And that sound, that glorious, glorious sound, I play mostly on a pair of Sennheiser HD555's with a mini amp and its ball achingly good, when you're lazing the targets in Hamburg for the ac-130 the sound as it roars down and batters the place with gunfire was just ear orgasm.

Campaign definitely deserves a replay. Only gripe was it being very short on normal, I did it about 4 hours. It was action packed but needed some more mission(s) as filler just to bulk it out a bit.
