While the campaign disappoints, however, Modern Warfare 3s multiplayer modes largely provide more of the same.
Yet, all of it pales in comparison to the storytelling highs of this series reboot alone.
Going through several Open Combat Missions in a row is tedious and exhausting.
To that end, this years instalment of the franchise certainly has more to offer.
More of the same, that is.
Still, its hard to deny the production value put into these reproductions.
Adjustments to Multiplayer gameplay feel equally small but meaningful.
If youre looking for more fast-paced gameplay though, youre getting it.
DMZ Zombies would be a better moniker for this years iteration of the monster-infested mode.
Why not just run away?
At the very least, the DMZ-ness of it all lends this years Zombies mode a sense of identity.
Personally, that isnt nearly as fun as simply progressing from one major set piece to another.
Putting aside its many longstanding issues for a moment, Call of Duty is absolutely better than this.
It has never had to stoop this low to sell its games year after year.
