2009 Makarov actually looked like a villian, 2023 Makarov looks like someone tried to clone Ben Shapiro and failed.

The original MW3 ending went so hard. Storming a high rise in juggernaut gear as Price and then fucking hanging Makarov from the roof before you sit down and smoke a cigarette while watching his corpse swinging from the ceiling. This is embarrassing in comparison.

What's really funny to me is that in the original MW series, when Soap dies, Price is fucking devastated, he just lost his best friend and dumps all his anger on Yuri immediately after. Here he just fucking looks at the corpse and does nothing, as if he already knew that Soap had to die just because it happened in the original series.

I like how the final mission has ZERO reason to take place. Why is Makarov bombing the Channel Tunnel? Why does he show up in person? Why does he try to stop them from disarming the bomb just to give up and run away? Not to mention he literally just TELEPORTS AWAY, like he doesn’t disappear past the train, he’s literally standing in front of it and blinks out of the way. And then he just shoots Soap after overpowering him and Price effortlessly because reasons.

It’s genuinely impressive how a massive gaming corporation, with billions of dollars to their name, can somehow create games that are much worse than indie games with less than 1% of the resources

Ghost wearing his OG mask as formal wear as they spread their best friends ashes is quite possibly one of the funniest things in the whole series

OG Makarov: *Attacks an airport with only 3 people* New Makarov: Bro needed 8 people to hijack a plane💀

The fact they killed off Soap when you have Gaz literally right fucking there is mind blowing. They definitely only killed him off for “shock” factor and nostalgia. Gaz’s story is wrapped up. Soap had potential to have a really good story this game or the next and they completely fuck it. The last game deadass sets that up when he was with Ghost.

Fun Fact: When you try and reinstall MW2, the MW3 campaign is actually listed in the game as an add on. They aren't even trying to hide that this was originally supposed to be a DLC.

The fact that the campaign ends with Ghost and Gaz apparently just watching Soap get fuckin executed right in front of them with no intervention is probably the most idiotic plot move ever 💀

“Nick Fury recruits soap mactavish’s corpse into the avengers” took me out 💀

Nevermind wtf ghost and gaz were doing on point... not seeing a group of enemies approach... why was makarov even there in the first place, SECONDS before the bomb was going to explode?

The contrast between old and new cpt Price in this game is insane. Old Price would've blown Makarov's brains out the moment he had the chance. The whole point of MW2 and MW3 is that Makarov was straight out impossible to find. The 2 times they had the slightest clue of his whereabouts they inmediately planned an assassination mission.

you know a game is bad when you can fit the entire campaign with multiple clips from each mission in 22 minutes

The MW3 campaign is like if you were having a really bad story in your dream but it ended early because you woke up

Soap: sTay WitH uS SiR!? price: dies from cringe*

When Soap turned to the camera and said "Good, that's one less loose ends" before killing himself by eating soap, I felt that.

Huge respect to all the reviewers who wasted their money for us

Ironic that MW3 was criticized for being a $60 DLC to MW2, and now MWIII is being criticized for being a $70 DLC to MWII

They asked chatgpt “if you were to write a COD campaign, what would you write?” 💀

As someone who doesn't plan on playing MW3 i see this as an absolute win

i love paying 100 dollars for a boring story, no personalities to the characters anymore, and a random death of a beloved character that was completely unneeded in the story

"Are you just ragging on this for engagement" Jesus, imagine watching a stream like this and then thinking "How could he hate this?"

When even IGN gives you a 4, you know you screwed up big time

I died at “can you atleast play the campaign with friends?” Charlie: “Of course you can, if you invite them over and force them to watch you play it.”

For some reason, the actor who plays Soap unfollowed Activision and all the other actors on social media. He barely promoted MW3 and deleted his Soap promos from the previous game. So my theory is that he saw the bullshit Activision is spewing and decided not to participate anymore. Don't know if that's the reason Soap's death is so sloppy but it still doesn't justify it.

Dont forget the original MW3 had the battle of new york, remember that badass scene where you force a russian sub to surface by detonating charges near it in the new york harbour, then you exfil by driving a RHIB boat into the back up the ramp of a sea knight which is like a little chinook helicopter.

hold on a moment, 19:36 when ghost crouches behind that blue cover thingy his weapon is still firing, you can see it eject and hit the ground next to soap it never stops firing up until like he is completely out of frame BRUH Also did soap just despawn from his initial down position and then respawns out of frame and just runs into makarov? that whole cutscene feels like thats where development ended, like thats not the end of the campaign but the actual point in time where they stopped developing the campaign

Soap's death was arguably the worst part. An amazingly written and loved character killed in the most disrespectful ways just to fill in the status quo of needing a main character to die.

Gotta love how they took a break from yearly releases and ended up making it shorter and worse at the same time. Pure genius.

Imagine having such good campaigns in Modern warfare 1, 2 and 3. And then 10 years later making games with the same name to kinda shoo away the old ones, but making them so bad

The fact they left it on a cliff hanger is the worst part, its what made me hate it

That campaign was so disrespectful. Soaps death felt terrible. That is fucking embarrassing, especially when you see how he died in the OG MW3. After playing through 2 1/2 games as Soap or working with him, you are at one of the most important moments in the campaigns story. During a failed assassination attempt on Makarov, Soap gets critically wounded during an explosion. You proceed to carry his dying body though a hellish warzone, packed with action and emotional music. After finding a safehouse, Soap dies whilst receiving medical attention in which he drops a massive bombshell on Price with his final words. Price proceeds to give one of the most emotional performances I have ever seen, in all forms of media, crying over the death of his best friend and closest ally. Afterwards, he proceeds to beat Yuri's ass down a flight of stairs and delivered one of the most hardcore and memorable lines in Call of Duty history. In this new game its just, Makarov shoots Soap in the head. Then the team mourns the death of Soap 1 cutscene later. Very little emotion. No theatrics. nothing. That is insulting to Soap as a character. Imagine if they killed Mason or Woods like that in Black Ops, just a big, disrespectful FU to the fans. Fuck this game.

It's kind of funny how the remake series presented itself as the darker and edgier version of the original yet it comes off as more clean and ready for the marketing

Ghost and gaz were never there with you in the final mission, they were away in their own gun fight, not standing and watching soap get killed. They only showed up in time to save price. But that's admittedly a very small detail to not notice in all the shooting

I just love how you chase makarov across the world and he just crosses a train track to get away from you

I truly feel bad for all the actors who had to deal with this shit show.

The fact they killed off one of the best characters in the worst campaign is so enraging

Soap didn’t die twice for this💀

cannot believe it ends with soap being shot in the head and then them throwing his ashes off a cliff like what were they thinking

They made Soap's death meaningless. The amount of plot holes in this campaign makes it look like Swiss cheese.

The fact that they did Makarov's fake out death the EXACT SAME WAY as Graves' fake out death in MW2 is fucking abysmal, like they really thought they can pull the same trick on us twice

I just got done and I’m so pissed at how it ended 🤦🏾‍♂️ way too short and the missions were stupid af

The last call of duty I enjoyed was BO2 The last Call of duty I bought was Infinite Warfare. COD really just died for me when I couldn't to split-screen with friends anymore. Like a bunch of other franchises.

At this point, COD fans deserve this like sports games fans. As long as you keep buying shit, they'll keep making shit.

I love how they have been so afraid to kill anyone that even Gaz is alive in the third game and then they just unceremoniously shoot soap in the head and just move on 😂

I love how the ending to Charlie's video had just as much thought behind it as the campaign ending 😂

If Activision kept their word on no annual releases, this campaign would probably have been a lot better. Shame Activision is one of the most greediest companies out there

Shepherd's death is so rushed in this campaign. Like the writers are almost done with the story but they forgot to kill Shepherd so they pushed this little cutscene of him getting shot in his office. At least in the old games, there's a wild chasing mission and you get to have an awesome fight with him.

Charlie's got the halo warthog mind set where if you tried enough you could fit through

6:50 imagine that gun in multiplayer, the gun isnt moving at all while shooting? Miculek, is that you?

That's how they kill soap?? That was just plain awful, his death in mw3(2011) was more impactful, literally had you fight an army while carrying soap to a safe location just for all your effort to go to waste as he bleeds out on the table. I can't believe they would take him out in such a mundane way, literally spat on the fans.

3 hours full of glorified spec ops missions... What a masterpiece

The fact people say how each new COD is trash yet still support it just by purchasing the game amazes me. We’re our own worse enemy.

Soaps death was so anticlimactic and embarrassingly disappointing, unlike the og MW3, it was emotional and gut punching

This campaign gives me the same feeling as writing an essay the day before it’s due.

When IGN gave a COD game a bad score you know it's abysmal.

Can we all acknowledge that Ghost couldn't even take the mask off FOR SOAP'S FUNERAL!

Makarov looks like angry kid that hasn’t got robux from his mother and hates his mother😂

The fact that the crew didn’t just shoot Makarov is so stupid. Imagine if Seal Team 6 finally found Bin Laden and then just handcuffed him and brought him on a helicopter.

worst part is that price barely even cared that soap died, he was just like "dam i lose good soldier, oh well"

So like, how the fuck did Ghost and Gaz NOT kill Makarov? It was just Makarov and like 3 other guys, Ghost and Gaz had the element of surprise and they only "injure" Makarov? Literally just shoot him in the head, he doesn't have a helmet or anything, NONE of them do, why does everyone aim for the body when they're SO CLOSE

The amount of effort to make a bad cod campaign on purpose is amazing

Soap's death in the original trilogy actually meant something because we've seen he and Price's relationship evolve firsthand throughout the three games. In this series, Soap's seen connecting most with Ghost - so having them separated during the death scene was a huge misfire on an emotional level

The only excuse I’ve given myself for buying the newer CoD games was the campaign, thank you for giving me final justification to not buy anymore CoD games

The crazy thing is i watched a couple of videos of people talking about the story and one of those videos showed the scene of soap dying in the og mw3 and i was ready to cry JUST BY LISTENING TO IT lol but ive never played the og mw3 campaign and too see how soul less and lazy his death was in this game was is soooo depressing cause i know how legendary that shit was😢

Can they please put this goddamn series to rest already? It’s not even on life support anymore. It’s being resurrected and brutally defiled until it dies again every year.

I genuinely feel like this was written by AI. I feel like the scene following Soap's death solidifies it for me.

$70? ✅ Reused maps? ✅ Reused animations? ✅ Reused assets? ✅ Capitalizing off of your nostalgia? ✅ Millions will still buy it anyway? ✅ Yup, That's COD alright.

9:21 crazy how price doesnt care makarov is in the ambulance

I was so mad at how short it was, I didn't even hang out to see that post roll scene when I beat it. I wouldn't have even know it existed if I didn't watch this video

They did soap so dirty in this campaign. The original soap death was such an emotional scene. There was no possible way plot wise that Soap could’ve been saved, and Price’s actor did an amazing job in the scene where he dies. It felt real, seeing someone break after losing one of their closest allies, and it still makes me tear up to this very day 12 years later. Soap’s death in THIS campaign is actually insulting. It feels like they just killed him off to get a reaction out of Soap lovers again. There was no buildup to his death, no emotion, absolutely NOTHING. And it just ends right after. Bo3’s campaign was disappointing. Vanguard’s was boring. But this campaign is the first that’s actually INSULTING to fans of the series.

Man they really did a great job with 2019 mw. They showed that giving a game time can make it great. But they fell into old habits by releasing reheated crap every year.

I’m more shocked we didn’t get a Sandman appearance.

MW3 story line in my head is a week long war fought in the warzone map where despite reinforcements being down the road you have to do much of the fighting alone. As for the ending I would have changed it to the shooting down of Makorvs helicopter where you take control of the ground team. You have to confirm the kill and are informed that Makarovs forces are convergin on the site. They are using saws to say cut open the crashed helo ala black hawk down. Bam explain why they dont just pull him out and give you a timer to stop them before they finish cutting a hole to him. You get there and as you cut the hole yourself the door falls in, soap is shot dead and you return fire killing the shooter. Perhaps its Makarov perhaps it was just a guard.

Open world missions on a cod game was just about the worst decision they could ever make. I’m not surprised anymore either, literally half of the campaign was filler, and I should have known from the get go that it was going to suck. There was absolutely no story what-so-ever. Call of Duty 2019 worked and was fresh because of how all the missions felt and how they flowed together. It was a new take on an extremely popular series and it just felt good, the gun play was excellent, the visuals incredible, and the story made sense.

6:57 dude not even reacting to having a gun nearly shot at him lmfao

I just realized, if you look at the ambulance to the right at 16:58, you can see Makarov right then and there.

I think one of the worst parts of this campaign is how they handled Soap’s death. It’s emotional in 2011 because you’ve had three games fighting as and alongside Soap. We saw him as the private, saw him grow with Price, and have him tragically die with a memorial to when he saved Price in COD4. In MW19, he’s a cameo name at the end of the game and has a side role in MWII. His death comes out of nowhere, has little fanfare, and has no attachment to the character. He only dies because he did in 2011 and the MW reboot series is based on appealing to gamers’ nostalgia for the original trilogy. It’s almost like what they did with Ghost in MWII (2009), where he was a character that had no development and was killed off during the ending - however, we cared about Ghost because he had a cool design and it was tied to a genuinely surprising plot twist. We know Makarov isn’t dead and we know, since they copied everything else, that Soap was likely to die - so not only is it predictable, it’s a shameless ripoff.

Love the “open combat” where your vehicle magically explodes after going over an invisible border for a couple seconds

12:21 you not being able to reload that weapon gave me immeasurable anxiety

15:28 did not age well😂

MW4 idea: 1 hour campaign but, everything happens in Nuke town trough different characters prespectives so that nothing happens and zombis appear in the final 3 minutes

I remember when characters deaths in cod games actually had reasons and meant something

9:22 ambulance on the right, isn't that Makarov?? it looks like him

"soap you can wake up now!"🤣🤣🤣

The MW3 campaign is like an incoherent mesh of warzone limited time events

When Makarov said: "This game is a robbery and we are charging everyone 70 bucks because this game has Call of Duty on its name" i really felt that....

Soaps death in this dlc is the same feeling as the Halo 3 ODST dying in a book being shot in the head as a prisoner

10:51 is so stupid that it's hilarious. Makarov is unarmed and tied up, yet he magically frees himself and kills you instantly with a single stomp while Price just stands there and watches, all because the devs didn't want to give their players the freedom to take even the SLIGHTEST deviation from the campaign that they made. You don't just have to follow Makarov, you also have to keep looking at him the whole entire time.

I can imagine the Voice Actors looking at the script going, "This is a joke, right? Right?"

The worst part about it too is they undermined Soaps death so badly! Like a nothing burger, no dramatics or anything. I still remember Price's performance on Soap bleeding out. I can still hear Prices 'NO NO NO!'

It's absolutely mind boggling that the MWIII Campaign is so much worse than Vanguards Campaign 💀

idk if he mentioned it but why tf is alex alive???? bro got incinerated in that factory explosion 😭😭

They gonna drag this like the fast and furious franchise did

Game designer: "We got a DLC." Producer: "Turn that into the next game!"

price killing shepherd at the end with no gloves or anything other than a silencer kills me. everyone instantly knows who it was when they look at that door handle

Price flying back when the Semtex blew up killed me man😂😂😂

I hated this campaign. It was super quick, had no sustenance to it, and they killed off Soap with no emotion and for no reason at all, and the bad guy just gets away like nothing was worth it.

When I finished the campaign my first initial thoughts was "That's it, its over?" it felt like the biggest gut punch ever, its much worse than the previous COD
