Well I can't speak for everyone, but I don't hate it. I just don't like it. Because I do not find the game fun.
Modern Warfare 3: Why does everyone hate it?

It's certainly similar to MW2, I won't deny you that. However, it's certainly more polished and has more variety, which is *exactly* how it needed to go.
I keep referring back to the backlash the rose up after the details about Dragon Age 2 were released. They tried something fresh and new and gamers rioted. CoD has a formula that works, did you really expect them to change a lot?
I'm apparently one of the lunatics that actually enjoyed the single player experiences thus far. Yes, it's scripted and over the top sometimes, but I would take semi-interactive scripted sequences over the dredge that many FPSes make you go through, just clearing room after room in between plot cookies. It's short, but it's fun. Plus I still enjoy the multiplayer, I'm not really into that whole scene with Elite and all that madness, but once I learned how to stop worrying and love the bombs, it was much better.
CoD isn't realistic. It's a FPS with pretensions to realism. Which means that it's basically Quake with real guns.
But yes, it's fun. Shocking, I know. I just don't get the hate.
(And before someone starts, I'm not a CoD fanboy. My favorite shooters are TF2 and L4D, other favorites include Bastion, the Penumbra series/Amnesia, Starcraft, the Silent Hill series, and so on. Defending one of many games I play in one of many genres I enjoy does not make me a fanboy)

EDIT:
I can't deny that as well. Hitboxes are awful sometimes, and it's kind of a resource hog. Plus, seriously. How do you see something working so well (read: servers) and replace it with something so awful?weker said:
You know the ironic thing is I'm starting to hate COD simply because of all of the "Why the hate" threads that keep popping up every day. Did you know that on GTAforums, redundant topics get locked or merged with the topic they're a paste of? Oh, but no not here. Not when so many people could make so many why the hate topics for COD.
Can't say about Modern Warfare 3, but I have owned the first one. It is the most boring shooter I've ever played. One second firefights leave no room for surprises. The victor is decided the moment a trigger is pulled. It's like Unreal Tournament without dodging. It's dull.
I like the character customization. But considering how fast everything dies already there isn't a reason for it except to keep people playing. I also like the campaign. I've played some coop modes in the sequels and I like those too. Basically, I like everything about Call of Duty that isn't its main selling point - Head to head multiplayer. Its main selling point is junk.

I've heard that the maps in MP are bad, but I also hear that the spec ops and survival modes are good aswell.
Survival = Killing Floor
Survival = Killing Floor
Because MW3 (and COD is general) is a extremely dumbed down game with no challenge or balance, very bad story and very limiting levels.
And yet droves of kiddies buy it which leads other games getting dumbed down as much as CoD, ruining the gameing industry.
Generally COD is a prime example of style over substance, and even the style is lacking unless you are a fan of Michael Bay Explosions.

I am actually hoping that one of my brothers get MW3 so I have the money to get BF3 if I don't get it for chirstmas because I would actually like to play both games and actually figure out which one I like more.
I find that while the singleplayer did finally satisfy my curiosity of how it would all end...COD: MW3 is nothing really worthy of note. All the weapons are basically just the same from MW2, the killstreaks aren't game changing or special anymore (I hear "UAV ONLINE" about every 2 minutes), and the Multiplayer feature's like Titles/Emblems are the same as MW2 for the most part (even most of the requirements are the same).
Basically the entire thing feels TOO much like MW2, and less of a sequel. I know Treyarch made BlackOps and Activision made Modern Warfare series...but I gotta say that BlackOps is actually better then MW3 in terms of adding something NEW to the series. Modern Warfare 3 just seems like it's a updated MW2 with some idea's from BlackOps thrown in.
I'm not saying that it's a bad game...but in all honesty I am already getting bored of it (I bought it 2 days ago on launch), which is a bad sign when BlackOps kept me busy for almost 2 months straight. Now maybe it's different for other people...but I personally can't find the "Fun" of it anymore when playing Multiplayer (Which is ANOTHER bad sign since 90% of the game/content is built around Multiplayer).

This is how i would describe MW3 .. UAV are online constantly, the perks are terrible you need 2 perks on MW3 to equal blacks ghost pro perk. MW3 a good game the campaign i was not satisfied with.. going to africa was just unusual didn't make much sense because in the end it had nothing to do with the stroyline. The maps on MW3 are so small you get killed withing 5 seconds of staring a match. Black ops was perfect no cross map nube tubing from the start of a match, they had theatre and file share, combat records, and the maps were perfect some small, some medium and some big and some weapons were better than others on different maps. And another thing quickscoping on MW3 and 2 sh!ts me. about 10 percent of the people doing are good. others just keep pressing L1 then R1 realy quickly hoping for the best same on X-box and pc or wii whatever. I hate the people that can't do it and they blindly and randomly just shoot and luckily kill someone then say... AWWWW bro did you see my quick scope it was awesome... only took me 8 shots to get him. On black ops you couldn't realy quickscope but you also kinda could.
Black ops set in the cold war was creative hasn't being doen in any other cod, but MW3 i do like the new survival mode probably the best thing about the game but black ops had zombies and millions loved zombies.
And black ops introduced split-screening although this gets annoying by killing 1 split screener the other 1 finds you.. guess what Mw3 copied them. the most creative thing about MW3 was deifiently not the campaign or multiplayer but the new survival mode all in all:
MW3 rating = 7/10
Black ops = 8/10.. but far this is the best game iv ever played

Oh please. Skyrim is still raping the active topic section of this website. Even on their release neither BF3 or MW3 were nearly as bad.Waaghpowa said:
Probably the most sensible reason I have seen for not liking CoD, ever. Seriously.Lightning Delight said:
I only play single player, and I have fun with every CoD game that comes out. Yes, they aren't the longest games around, but that is what the video store is for.
The difference is we know damn well that there wont be another Elder Scrolls game the next year, people will stop talking about it. I rarely heard anyone talk about Oblivion a year or two after it was released.Aeonknight said:
The fact that Call of Duty is on a yearly release schedule means the talk never ends.
Well, not everyone hates it. Me, for example. And the several million that buy it each year. It's just that it's the most popular game series. And therefore it is going to have the highest amount of "haters". Add in the fact that Battlefield in another popular series in the same vein as CoD and you have yourself quite a bit of hate.
I hate MW3 because I've watched friends play it and it's more or less an extremely overpriced DLC to MW2. Aside from mild changes, it hasn't improved at all from its predecessor.
It's the same reason harvest moon has become a POS in recent years. Rune Factory was the best thing they did for the franchise because it changed it from being expansions/new people to a previous farming game, into an action-RPG with farming elements.
Plus, in MW2 you didn't really control anything. You were put into a character that had no impactful choices whatsoever, and frankly I think having zero choices needs to get flushed down the drain.

Personally, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare remains one of the best shooters ever made. Unfortunately, every year they look at the previous game and say "Ok, how can we make these even dumber so more fucktards buy this thing?"
World at War was a joke of a game, and Treyarch were a laughing stock after it came out. Infinity Ward smashed the WWII FPS Hell to pieces by reinventing their franchise as a modern military shooter. Treyarch were left spinning.
Modern Warfare 2 remains one of the worst games of all time. It's plot was insulting stupid, it's multiplayer so broken and utterly unplayable as to call into question the mental capacity of it's developers.
Black Ops was were the games actually didn't matter any more. Activision Blizzard was the proud owner of a series that people would buy because it was popular. I never played Black Ops. I don't want to, either.
Modern Warfare 3 is, by all accounts, the same as everything before it. By all accounts it's multiplayer is less broken, but it's single player campaign is certainly dumber and less fun. And adding a Horde mode to a military FPS is insulting to everyone involved.

treyarch made the first cod without it there wouldn't of being MW1 MW2 or 3.. plus modern warfare 1 and 2 graphics are peasant like to black ops.. nothing is wrong with black ops.. in MW you get cross map tubes people that think they quickscope but they just press 2 buttons in quick rotation hoping to get a kill while there screen is blackRUINER ACTUAL said:
