I just finished the Modern Warfare 3 (2011) campaign, and I am honestly split on it. The globetrotting set pieces, like the paris and london missions, were intense, and Price, Soap, and Yuri carry the story well. Some moments, like the Hamburg tank fight and the Prague chase, were a lot of fun, and the pacing never really lets up.
But the story felt rushed in places. Makarov had a strong setup as the main villain, yet the campaign was short and a few big moments, like the Eiffel Tower and the Burj Al Arab, were over before they could sink in. Some major character deaths hit hard, but I wanted more time with them.
For anyone who has finished it:
- What was your favorite mission?
- Did Makarov work for you as a villain, or did he feel underused?
- Did the ending to the Modern Warfare trilogy feel earned?
- Where does it rank against MW1 and MW2 for you?
