The most recent installment of Call of Duty remained popular despite criticism and disparaging remarks. The fact that millions of shooting fans are actively using the game on the servers suggests that it is Sledgehammer Games’ most recent success.
Despite the negative reviews that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 receives from critics and gamers alike, fans of the franchise continue to play the most crucial parts of the game. Activision and Sledgehammer Games don’t disclose exact sales figures, but they do provide some very intriguing information.
The story of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is relatively short, the majority of the launch maps are updated settings, the zombie mode is a DMZ recreation, and there aren’t many interesting and novel gameplay options, yet the game still breaks several records.
According to official information, the latest COD achieved a “historic premiere”, and after two weeks, players set a record for the highest engagement in the Modern Warfare trilogy.
Activision’s latest shooter achieved astonishing success – Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 beat Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare in terms of “overall hours per player”, Zombie mode is “the most engaging third mode in MW history” and players “spend more time on the campaign in MW3 than in the previous two installments.”
Although there is no shortage of negative opinions about the latest title, recipients still spend a lot of free time on servers, which will probably affect Activision’s further endeavors. Currently, the creators are preparing for the premiere of a new season, in which daredevils can count on even more content.
