Should Modern Warfare 3 be the final entry in the Series?

An article which poses the question 'do they need another title in the series?' and then gives the authors personal views and opinion.
"Let’s not deny it. Ever since Call of Duty: Modern Warfare was released almost four years ago, it was the game to be played. The other games in your collection would almost look sad, as if they knew, they had a long while before they were ever going to get placed in to your CD Drive again. Hours upon hours were spent by many avid gamers, taking full advantage of what Infinity Ward had to offer."

My personally opinion is that the story arc should end after MW3 and then reboot it with a different story. I get the impression they are going away from our SAS heroes and going towards new Delta Force heroes which is OK but the world set up by MW would mean it is hard to get back to what MW really was. Rebooting it would mean new people and also means they can start from the beginning and maybe not world war-iffy it.

TheDareDevil4593d ago

Agreed. Conclude the story arc with MW3 and bring us future Warfare after BLOPS-2

What else can they do story-wise? The WW2 and Cold-war are being covered by Treyarch. Infinity Ward can only go into the future now because they will most likely be wrapping up Modern War with MW3.

Activision wanted to do a full-blown space level in MW2 but they cut it because Space Warfare wouldn't be too realistic. They only left a cut-scene from that level.

Sabian1874593d ago

Where else could they go???!

Call of Duty: American Revolutionary Warfare
Call of Duty: Napoleonic Warfare
Call of Duty: Cowboys and Indians
Call of Duty: Cowboys vs. Aliens
Call of Duty: Pirates vs...well...everyone
Space: Above and Beyond the Call of Duty

That last one could be cool.
Great TV show.
Stupid FOX for canceling it.
And Firefly too.

Quagmire4593d ago

Yes. Kill the series please. Spend the money developing something new and better. Whatever it is though, it better not be an FPS.

...oh who am I kidding.

lorianguy4593d ago

It should be but it won't be. As long as Activision is at the wheel, it will be milked as much as possible.

WANNAGETHIGH4593d ago (Edited 4593d ago )

No..I want my yearly fix of fast arcade addictive fun twitch gameplay. Cod is like crack to me. Don't care ahout so called quality just give me what I've been used to playing since Cod4. CodMW3 day 1. I can't wait.

I find it funny people complain is milked. Business is supply and demand, we 20Million plus fans demand it so they give it to us, I don't see anything wrong with that.

TopDudeMan4593d ago

You don't know much about business. Customers demand quality. You could substitute the word customer for quality in most sentences if you're running a business.

Not that anything's wrong with the quality they're offering or anything...

SJPFTW4593d ago

your whats wrong with gaming.

miDnIghtEr20C_SfF4593d ago

What's wrong with gaming? The best games of all time and best consoles of all time are right now. Gaming is at it's best right now.

Too many elitist these days. You guys are what's wrong with gaming.

How awesome has the last 2 months been? And beyond? We have Gears, Batman, Battlefield, Kinect Sports Season 2, COD, Skyrim, Uncharted 3, and many more awesome games coming. There is NOTHING wrong with gaming right now.

SJPFTW4593d ago

Previous generation had Knights of the Old Republic, Shadows of the Collosus, God of War 1 and 2, Socom 1 and 2, Half Life 2, Doom 3, Halo Combat Evolved and Halo 2, Grand Theft Auto III Vice City and San Andreas, Battlefield 2, Call of Duty 1 and 2, Warcraft 3, Crimson Skies, Mech Assault, Metroid Prime, Resident Evil 4, Metal Gear Solid 2 + 3, Splinter Cell Chaos Theory, Shenmue, SoulCaliber, Rome Total War etc etc.

back then it was about quality, right now its about appealing to the lowest common denominator in order to generate sales. we have overpriced DLC, online passes and all that bullshit.

/end rant

Morons that allow themselves to be milked continuously by this company is the definition of irony.
Spend more $$ and you'll end up In easier lobbies so you win both ways when ya spend that cash

melons32d ago

Controversy in the COD community feels like it happens within an alternate timeline. Activision will take the piss with something, there will be a momentary fuss about it, and then they will forget about it and carry on anyway. Repeat this cycle literally every year for the rest of time.

Gridknac32d ago

They call that a crack head! Thats what this is really about, its an addiction. People who dont smoke cigarettes look and laugh at the addicts that spend $8-$10 a pack, but they cant help themselves, they are addicted. That same analogy applies perfectly to the whole MT industry. Only an addict that was not thinking clearly would spend this kind of money on something so frivolous. A round of multiplayer provides the same high a person gets from scratching a lotto ticket, or putting money on a sports bet. MT in general need to really be regulated because you have a generation of kids becoming adults who grew up only knowing the MT era of gaming. Its normal to them and they will in turn teach their kids the same by just being a gaming parent and getting their kids involved with them in gaming. Thats why no matter how ridiculous the headlines keep getting out of the MT industry, it never seems to fade or go away.

X-2331d ago

I'm so tired of hearing about what they're doing with this game, its never going to change and it's never going to value the consumer over money, furthermore the people who engage so heavily in the microtransactions I guess allegedly are having a blast and can't wait to do it some more this year when the new version of the game drops.

Cheech And Chong Are Coming To Call Of Duty Because Everything Must Be Consumed

The famous comedy duo is the latest example of pop culture becoming one big grey blob

Christopher47d ago

Certain to have some sort of reference to their online store for CBD/THC chews, which is advertising heavily online the last month or two.

Sciurus_vulgaris47d ago

The randomness of the multiplayer characters is one of reason I quit playing COD after briefly returning in 2022. We got Space Marines, rappers, tree monsters etc. all in a series called “ Modern Warfare”.

OtterX46d ago (Edited 46d ago )

I think if there was ever a time for a competitor to rise up and take away some of Call of Duty's thunder, the time would be now. A military shooter that takes itself seriously, not sold out to Fortnitism. Easier said than done, I know... but the time is ripe.

I can't stand this stuff either.

Palitera46d ago

There are tons of MP shooters that make no profit, if you're looking for one of those

fsfsxii46d ago

You guys have been saying this shit since 2009. Fortunately, nobody’s bringing down cod anytime soon, if ever.

crazyCoconuts46d ago

I agree. I really didn't like how the silliness takes away the gritty origins. That and all the crazy effects... dunno. I'm still playing it but I'd love for someone to steal their cheese and cater to grittier players

OtterX46d ago

@fsfsxii It's not so much wanting COD itself to die as it is wanting this silliness to die. Like CrazyCoconuts said, it takes from the grittiness. Many OG COD players want a straightup Military shooter experience, not silly costume time at Carnival.

is this what the kids want these days a pair of iconic stoners who were big in the 70s and have kind of held on I enjoyed their movies decades ago but I never recall the movie where cheech infiltrates a enemy base while chong snipes for support guess I must of missed that one

Man I'm getting to old for this

Knightofelemia47d ago (Edited 47d ago )

Cheech just looks so wrong in the picture.

Profchaos46d ago

Why just why. cod up in smoke

anast46d ago

They charge too much for a game that is kitsch.
