So, this past week I've been sick x.x, so I picked up and played through the entire Modern Warfare series. AS you can see, I gave two kinds of scores; individual scores, and a combined score. The reason I did this is because I found that, if you play through them all in sequence and at one play-through, it really is a full, enjoyable experience. There are still some rather annoying levels (Favela
), but over all playing from game to game feels almost seamless. It really makes the story stick out more, and makes a lot more sense with some of those minor parts.
Individually, though, the first one is still the one that shines. It had no real "annoying" levels, and everything was pretty solid. It also has the most amount of noticeable minor details, such as being affected from being too close to tank fire, or just a tiny switch on your gun. Modern Warfare 2, though, seemed to get rid of quite a few of the minor details, in favor of having more bad guys to kill and more focus just on the action rather than the world around you. Not to mention it has possibly the worst mission in the Modern Warfare series (Favela
), it also recycles much from the first game, notably how people die, when they die, level sequence, etc. Modern Warfare 3 sort of picked up what 2 had lost, with better level structure, better pacing, and a mix of all the favorite things from the past games. My only two issues with this release are that it tends to try too hard to be like an action movie, and that its plot twists are just far too obvious.
I'm not going into the multiplayer since it's far too different in terms of everyone's experiences, and I never even touched the stuff for the first game.
