The set pieces and the excellent pacing are the real stars of the single player experience. The campaign isn’t how good it is just because of the characters, though. It’ll drive home the fact that Price is one of the most awesome characters in video gaming history. Other characters, like some new ones, including Grinch and Sandman and Yuri, and of course our good old Soap MacTavish, are also really good characters, and you build an emotional bond with them as you play through the game. Maybe that is what makes his character so likable. And yet, at the same time, Price always does what is right.
He’s compassionate, caring deeply for his comrades his anger towards Makarov and lust for revenge against him overpowers almost all his other senses. No, there’s much more to Price than that, as we have already seen in the last two MW games.
And he wasn’t just a single minded soldier with nothing in mind but the good of the world. He’s always been a badass all throughout Modern Warfare 1 and 2, but in Modern Warfare 3 he simply stole the show, overshadowing every other character in the game. What makes this campaign so good, partly, is the character of Captain Price. Twists in the campaign will leave you with a heavy heart, with some very likeable characters meeting their deaths, and one specific rather gruesome scene in London will drive home the fact that no one is safe in WW3. MW3 is the perfect cross between the two, providing a storyline that no one will soon forget, some really good characters, moments that will leave you with a heavy heart and absolutely stunning set pieces and shootouts. People loved MW’s campaign because of its incredible story and characters and intense firefights, while MW2, despite having a messed up and overly dramatic storyline, had some unforgettable set pieces. I can safely say that MW3’s campaign is one of the best in the series, right up there with the likes of Modern Warfare and Call of Duty 2, and much, much better than the confused mess that was Modern Warfare 2. And the only moment when the campaign lets go of your attention is when it ends. The game wastes no time in running you through the typical tutorial of a CoD game, it puts you right into the heat of action. Modern Warfare 3 may not be the revolution that the original MW was, but it’s still damn awesome.įrom the very get go, Modern Warfare 3’s campaign makes it clear what the stakes are this time around- this is an all out global war, the third World War, and people are going to die.
