“There’s no true real content that will require a new game, nothing different here for $70.00+ that they couldn’t just release /patch for in the previous version of the game,” one player said in a scalding review left back in August of this year, way before any portion was playable.

It’s important to note, this year’s MW3 isn’t up for reviews yet since it’s only in early access. Unfortunately, some fans can’t wait until the full launch to voice their opinion.
As more players get their hands on the game, expect a real Metacritic page to populate, where the reviews will certainly be a battlefield. For now, steer away from 2011’s Modern Warfare 3, as it did nothing wrong but share a name with this year’s divisive entry.
