Mostly salty because it was the start of the campaigns no longer being good, imo. I didn’t get hooked on the multiplayer the same way I did with the prior ones either
i was still so hopeful, but then subsequent campaigns just started moving further and further into torture porn territory.
i tried to play BO3. iirc literally the first mission includes a scene wherein the player character is overpowered and gets their arms methodically ripped off. complete with PLENTY of horrible “i’m actively dying” screams and cries piped directly into your ears, while you watch a first person view of someone holding you to the ground and ostensibly killing you in the worst way they can think of.
i got sick to my stomach and uninstalled the game. i was actually enjoying the multiplayer prior to that experience. just fucking give the character robot arms, i don’t need a writer’s room to sell “traumatic” in order to care about a game.
like literally can you name a single COD protagonist? they’re faceless puppets that you only care about because you play as them. the forced trauma only serves to make me dislike the devs rather than give a shit about the character.
i feel like you could argue the FIRST blops game is actually a spinoff series that they never returned to, and that the following sequels are just “regular COD games”. they made a lot of bold choices in both the single and multiplayer, and i don’t think we ever got back to that same level.
e: advanced warfare was biting titanfall, blops 3 was biting advanced warfare. i GUESS blops 2 was the most creative of the sequels, but even then battlefield 2142 came out 6 years prior with basically the exact schtick.
Modern warfare 3 sucked
Which one lol
3, never played III
Campaign or MP?

MW3 was the first and only disk I snapped in half.
Hard agree.
