During The Game Awards 2023, a joking remark made by God of War voice actor Christopher Judge about the length of his acceptance speech for winning Best Performance for his work as Kratos last year has drawn the ire of Call of Duty developers. Joking about the length of his speech last year, Judge stated that his speech was longer than the campaign for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.
Call of Duty boasts Modern Warfare 3 has broken new engagement records
22.11.2023 - 15:23 / eurogamer.net / Chris Tapsell / Aaron Halon
Activision has said its new Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 has broken multiple player engagement records, without providing any specific player numbers.
«Just two weeks in, Modern Warfare 3 has already set records with the highest engagement in the new Modern Warfare trilogy,» states a post by the Call of Duty account on X, formerly Twitter.
These records include the fact Modern Warfare 3 owners are playing «more hours per player overall» and «campaign players [are] putting in more time per player» than in the modern Modern Warfare 1 and 2.
«MWZ is the most engaging third mode in MW history,» Activision also noted.
But there's no mention at all of sales numbers for the game, which has arrived just 12 months after last year's Modern Warfare 2 — the first time in the franchise's history that it has revisited the same sub-brand in consecutive years.
Here in the UK, boxed sales numbers for Call of Duty fell by 25 percent on last year's launch.
Controversy has swirled around the game's development, with a trustworthy report that it was developed at pace to meet this year's launch date as a full release, rather than as an expansion to last year's effort.
The response from fans has also been mixed, with criticism of the game's campaign length.
Sledgehammer Games boss Aaron Halon issued a statement following the game's launch to say Modern Warfare 3 had been «a labour of love» and «years in the making» — and that «anything said to the contrary is simply not true».
«An exercise in extracting value from its players rather than providing it, the new Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is what happens when this industry is at its worst,» our Chris Tapsell wrote in Eurogamer's Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 review.
Modern Warfare 3 will launch Season 1 on 6th December, when several additional multiplayer maps are set to arrive.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III Campaign Review: Activision's First-Person Shooter Runs Out of Ammo
Over the years, Call of Duty campaigns have delivered the closest distillation of Michael Bay-style cinematic set piece action in video games. The first-person military shooter franchise, perhaps the most popular series of games in the world, has increasingly tilted in favour of its money-spinning multiplayer modes, with gradual introduction of battle passes, microtransactions, and downloadable content, but some of its single player campaigns remain a benchmark for bombastic sequences in the medium. Memorable missions from Call of Duty titles are part of gaming folklore — the raw shock of a nuclear detonation, the tense deliberations of a ghillied-up sniper, and the disturbing implications of a false flag terror attack; CoD campaigns have sustained their commitment to over-the-top, knockout moments with imaginative mission design, the “Oorah” machismo of American military might, and immersive cinematics that punctuate the action.
