The second season of Modern Warfare 3 (MW3) is in full swing, offering fresh content for game enthusiasts to explore. Early reactions indicate a generally affirmative response from the gaming community about the newly introduced features.
The arrival of MW3 was met with mixed emotions, as reflections on the game’s campaign emerged from various social platforms. While some players seemed to enjoy the campaign, others criticized it heavily. Similarly, the multiplayer mode faced some criticisms for feeling like a technical regression in some aspects.
In response to these sentiments, game developer Sledgehammer Games has rolled out two seasons worth of new content for the players. This move illustrates the developer's commitment to continually improving and adding to the MW3 experience regardless of the diverse opinions of its player base.
Season 2 was officially released in early February and has been met with an outpouring of positive comments from fans. Feedback has been largely celebratory, excluding some complaints related to the game’s Zombie mode which seem to have been overlooked in updates.
User appreciation for MW3's Season 2 update
The new season has sparked a debate on the game’s subreddit, with players expressing their varying viewpoints on different aspects of the game, ranging from the Battle Pass to the bundles and player experiences. One of the more discussed topics was posted by player fearful_claw02 who sought opinions about Season 2.
A handful of players appreciated the new content, highlighting the originality of new maps like Departures, Vista, and Stash House. Some compared the map variety in Season 2 favorably to that of the first season, classifying it as a marked improvement.
The new updates were well received with players lauding the range of content introduced in the season. Players were particularly satisfied with the Battle Pass, but opinions varied when confronting the issue of WhaleCell, an aspect of the game that faced mixed reviews. None of these criticisms, however, seemed to significantly deter player zeal for the season overall.
Despite the mostly positive comments on the season, one player noted a significant letdown: the lack of new content for Zombies mode. This player was not alone in expressing disappointment regarding the lack of enhancements for Zombies in the new season.
For those unaware, the new season’s launch did not introduce any new features specifically for Zombies players. These updates are due to arrive sometime mid-season, which some players found frustrating given the main theme of the launch was zombie-based.
The Unresolved Zombies Issue:
Players felt this was a missed opportunity to build intrigue for Zombies amidst all the new Season 2 content. The main draw of Season 2 was a character named Rick Grimes, a popular figure in zombie lore. The absence of zombie-related content during the initial season launch felt like a dropped ball for many players.
Despite Season 2 still being quite new, players have already formed strong opinions about the new content. There's still a lot of time for these perspectives to shift as players continue to explore all of the features brought by season 2. Some fans are speculating a surprise update for Zombies is on the way, Currently, Season 2 is being touted as a significant win for MW3.
While there have been issues raised about the lack of certain game features or updates, the overall response to MW3's Season 2 seems to be a resounding approval. The gaming community appears to appreciate the ongoing commitment the game developers have shown to improving the game and providing fresh, entertaining content.
In summary, Season 2 of MW3 is showing a robust start, offering an enhanced gaming experience to its loyal players. Amidst the applause and criticism, the season looks promising and players across the community look forward to additional updates and features in the future.
