I did enjoy MW3, but when I played MW 2019, it was so buggy I dropped the franchise.

MW2 was the point where it was transitioning from immersive gritty combat to wacky cartoon shit. 2 still held onto the vibe, but the elements of goofiness were slipping in. It was still as fun as COD4, but had a stench of childishness.

Wholistically, MW2 was the peak before the goofy crap started to take away from the fun. I saw the trend and didnt bother with MW3... the ads made it clear what the direction was, and I had better things to play.

Loved CoD4/MW2, and was really looking forward to the sequel. I was so disappointed by the grenade launcher spam.
