Modern Warfare 3: The Cons

**Warning! There will be use of video game jargon in this post**

In this post I will discuss the cons of Modern Warfare 3.

First and foremost, the greatest con of Modern Warfare 3 is that it doesn't truly seem like Modern Warfare 3. This is because the game is so similar to its predecessor, Modern Warfare 2. They are so alike, someone that is not into or no familiar the Call of Duty series could probably mistake them for each other. Although this was disappointing, Modern Warfare 2 was a good game in itself so, making one similar makes sense. The biggest complaint about Modern Warfare 3 is that is a straight remake of Modern Warfare 2, often referred to as Modern Warfare 2.1.

Maps. Maps. Maps. I will honest, the maps are not my favorite. Despite most of them being well balanced, they all look familiar. I could probably go through the list of maps and relate it to another map from a past Call of Duty. Sometimes I get the feeling that I paid $60 for a map pack for Modern Warfare 2. Maps are an all around disappointment in this game.

Another map related rant is details. There is so much detail! It is all a bunch of eye candy, but when you get into the game and you start playing, those cool little details become annoying. I'm sure that everyone that is a regular fan of Call of Duty games can understand the concept of getting "stuck". This is when you try to move your character a certain way, but you run into something, causing you to stop moving. This happens way too much in Modern Warfare 3, to the point as to where I have to include it in my rants. The largest percent of "details" I get "stuck" on are random bicycles lying around in a map. They are often propped up against walls, and when you back up, they can become lethal for you.

My final complaint about Modern Warfare 3 the powers of the party leader. They are given way too much power. If they choose to leave a game, they can select to take their entire party out of the game with them. Look at it like this, if you were doing really well in a game, but your party leader wasn't, he could choose to leave the game and take you out of it too, attributing a loss to your record. A similar thing to this is if someone in your party loses connection to the host during the game and if they get kicked from the game, it pulls your entire party out of the game to "follow the player back to the lobby".
