Modern Warfare 3 Campaign Criticized for Short Length, Poor Quality and Large File Size

Players report Modern Warfare 3's 3-4 hour campaign is the shortest in Call of Duty history, while critics give it a 4 out of 10 due to the lack of innovative content. The massive 200GB download, largely assigned to Warzone maps and open-world zombie content, is deemed excessive despite Activision's justification.

  • Modern Warfare 3's campaign duration of 3-4 hours has been criticized for being the shortest in Call of Duty history.
  • Critics and players have judged the campaign to be of poor quality compared to past iterations of the game, with IGN scoring it 4/10.
  • Despite early access to the campaign, initial chatter online from players is trending negative for its quality, not just its length.
  • Modern Warfare 3 reportedly lacks any significant Call of Duty single player set pieces, which the series is known for, indicating a lack of innovation.
  • The game's enormous file size of up to 200GB has been attributed to new features including open-world Zombies and support for carrying forward items from Modern Warfare 2, as well as existing Warzone map files.
  • The Call of Duty HQ download manager, a roughly 50GB install, adds to the large install size and has been criticized for its complexity.
