Reverted Audience Alienating Ending in the game's campaign after passed the NREP date. Debating if the game's campaign is worth the Sequelitis, despite significant gameplay fixes to it's predecessor.


%%Due to the Administrivia/NoRecentExamplesplease rule, only add AudienceAlienatingEnding, BrokenBase, OvershadowedByControversy, Sequelitis & Surprisingly Improved Sequel six months after the game's release (at least May 2, 2024, for the digital access to the game's campaign mode; the Multiplayer component until May 10th.).



* AudienceAlienatingEnding: [[spoiler:Makarov kills Soap in a very anticlimactic manner. He [[KarmaHoudini gets off scot-free]]. And then Price gets to kill Shepherd... in TheStinger, ''[[AntiClimax without the player's input]]''. That's all.]] Let's just say that players were PISSED.



* SurprisinglyImprovedSequel: In spite of the many grievances this game faces, most players agree that it is a marked improvement from MWII, both in content and mechanics. Gameplay-wise there has been new and returning perks added every season, the gameplay has been generally considered fast and frenetic compared to MWII and the wide selection of returning and new maps have received minimal complaints. SHG has been quick to balance most guns (even MWII legacy weapons) and there was no delay in seasons like with MWII to slow down content. The plethora of Aftermarket Kits, new weapons and some returning weapons from AW means that this [=CoD=] has the biggest arsenal of any [=CoD=] to date. While this game's existence has been in contention from the start, most players who have stuck around have found it worthwhile this time.

* BileFascination: The game, especially the campaign, got a lot of attention due to how poorly received was. From the [[ItsShortSoItSucks incredibly short player mode]], [[TheyChangedItNowItSucks the infamous Open Combat Missions]], the constant PanderingToTheBase, a few {{Narm}} inducing scenes, and in top of that, the [[spoiler: UndignifiedDeath of Soap himself]]. All to the price of 70$.
