The new shooting game “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III 2023” produced by Avtivision received a lot of criticism due to the story campaign in early access, but the evaluation has not changed after the game was officially released. , because the multiplayer mode and zombie mode also make many players dissatisfied.

After “Modern Warfare III 2023” was launched on the 10th, the reviews dropped from mixed reviews to mostly negative reviews after a full day, with a favorable rating of only 29%.

Observing the Steam reviews, although the vast majority of negative reviews still come from the content of the story campaign, complaints about the multiplayer mode and zombie mode are also included.

In this multiplayer mode, the biggest complaint comes from the new “Arsenal Unlocking” mechanism. Some of the flash bombs, Cetin explosives, active defense systems, and even some firearms and accessories that players are familiar with in the past are all Return to the armory to unlock, and the unlocking condition is to complete daily tasks.

The problem is that daily tasks plus zombie mode can only complete 6 tasks a day, and the unlocked items in each armory are independent. The process of unlocking these “items that can be used by upgrading in the past” is time-consuming and also Considered by players to be a waste of time.

At the same time, the zombie mode has also become a target. Although it is a PvE gameplay that integrates the DMZ open map access contract, there is not much newness. Compared with the gameplay that also uses the open map mode, the zombie mode during the “Cold War” era has been more well received.

At the same time, many players have criticized that most of the maps in “Modern Warfare III 2023” are almost remakes of the 2009 classic “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2”. The free combat missions and zombie modes of the story campaign also have maps that are derived from “Modern Warfare 2”. Modified from “Warzone”.

To make matters worse, Bloomberg senior reporter Jason Schreier just recentlyDisclosed sources broke the news, pointed out that the development time of “Modern Warfare III 2023” is only 16 months, while the development time of previous series has been three years. However, an Activision spokesperson denied the shortened development schedule cited by Bloomberg, saying that the game was considered a canon from the beginning.

However, Bloomberg also quoted Sledgehammer studio head Aaron Halon’s statement, emphasizing that many employees did believe that “Modern Warfare III 2023” was originally designed to be an expansion pack development project, but due to temporary changes in senior management, the development was tight. The schedule has caused many developers to experience the dilemma of working overtime.

This report is also reminiscent of last year’s Schreier’s revelation that the new “Call of Duty” game in 2023 will be a DLC add-on expansion pack for “Modern Warfare II 2022”. Many foreign media commented on “Modern Warfare III 2023” and also said that this is one“The production was quite hasty”game.

Perhaps due to the lack of development time, coupled with the fact that the content of “Modern Warfare III 2023” itself has a lot of splicing and renovation of old content, as well as the high price of US$70, this has become the main reason why this game has received angry criticism from overseas communities. .

Activision’s “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III 2023” has been fully launched on November 10, and the Steam standard version is priced at NT$2,219.
