When you're tasked with following up on the monolithic and much loved Modern Warefare and Modern Warfare 2 then it's pretty safe to say there's going to be a rather large sense of pressure on things. After all how do you top two of the best entries in the franchise that might as well have had a parade thrown for them for how well they were received critically and commercially?

Well if you're to go on what Modern Warfare 3 did, you just kind of suck. Apparently that's a viable option.

Thanks to a mediocre narrative that simply tried to ape the best bits of the previous two MW entries yet only served to make a monkey out of players trying to swallow this tripe and pacing that felt about as smooth as watching someone fall down some stairs Modern Warfare 3 was a difficult sit-through to say the least.

Oh well, surely the multiplayer will still deliver? After all that's where the real meat on this dog bone is right? *laughs in terrible connectivity issues and the most rampant hacking in any of the titles since the original*

And yet, somehow, this game still received rave reviews from critics. I know that people don't want to upset COD fans as they are a spicy lot, but still, have a backbone you lot!
