Frustrated Modern Warfare 3 player tells fans to pick up RoboCop instead
Activision/TeyonFans let down by the Modern Warfare 3 are recommending the new RoboCop game now.
Jilted Call of Duty fans are finding a new future in first-person shooters after Modern Warfare 3’s lukewarm reception, and that future is RoboCop: Rogue City.
There’s a new Call of Duty out this week, but fans just aren’t feeling the newest entry, Modern Warfare 3.
There’s already a wave of controversy as fans have requested refunds following the early access period. While many dedicated COD fans are trying to stick it out with Modern Warfare 3, some have expressed discontent with the game’s short single-player campaign and poor stealth mechanics.
Modern Warfare 3 players are now looking for other games, and one Call of Duty fan had a surprising suggestion: play the new RoboCop game instead.
Robocop: Rogue City has better campaign than Modern Warfare 3, according to burned COD fan
Redditor TheBigDawg96 told Call of Duty fans, in no uncertain terms, that the recently released RoboCop: Rogue City had a better campaign than Modern Warfare 3.
“If you haven’t played the new Robocop game,, I strongly recommend you check it out,” he said in the post on r/gaming titled Robocop > MW3 Campaign. “It blows the MW3 campaign out of the water.”
Many fans in the comments on the post are in agreement. Redditors praised RoboCop: Rogue City for how it handles its campaign and player mechanics over Modern Warfare 3. This isn’t necessarily a new sentiment, as fans who played the RoboCop demo realized the game was better than expected.
“It finally feels good to be clunky.” user JonTheWizard said.
“$40 less than the Vault edition. Complete story. Fun to play. Get to do a mission involving drug dealers explaining anti trust laws. Sold.” said user DavenSkilynk.
Still, others took a more practical approach. Many felt it had a better campaign by default, as MW3’s campaign was just that bad.
“Candy Crush has a better campaign than MW3.” said user HumaDracobane.
“Isn’t a very high bar to cross.” said user Kratos_233.
TeyonRoboCop: Rogue City couldn’t thematically be more different from Modern Warfare 3, but it arguably shares an audience. Based on the uber-violent 1980s franchise, Rogue City sees players exploring a semi-open world as the titular cyborg law enforcement officer.
Much like the original franchise, Rogue City is already receiving praise for its tongue-in-cheek humor and over-the-top violence. We gave it four stars in our review of the game.
With the early access period behind it, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 releases to the general public on November 10.
