Our review in progress of Modern Warfare 3’s single-player called the game a series low point.

“Sold as a pre-order bonus and given about as much thought, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3’s single player offering is a short, shallow waste of time that feels less like a video game and more like a contractual obligation,” we wrote.

Modern Warfare 3 is a direct sequel to last year’s Modern Warfare 2. Development is being led by Sledgehammer, in collaboration with Infinity Ward, while Treyarch is in charge of its Zombies mode.

Microsoft completed its $69 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard last month, following over a year of legal battles to push the deal through.

Microsoft and PlayStation signed a binding agreement this year to keep Call of Duty on PlayStation following the acquisition, and Xbox boss Phil Spencer later reiterated Xbox’s pledge to maintain “100% parity” for Call of Duty across all platform
