Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (2011) – The final mission
The original Modern Warfare trilogy is fondly remembered by many Call of Duty fans, but the third game is easily the weakest installment. This is where the story goes off the rails, featuring multiple flashbacks and retcons. Many of the missions also feel padded and thrown together, likely a result of the behind-the-scenes issues involving Infinity Ward’s founders and key staff leaving during development. But whatever, the final mission is great.
Our two surviving heroes don bulky bulletproof “Juggernaut” armor and large machine guns. Their goal? Kill the main villain of the trilogy Vladimir Makarov and get some revenge, too. The final 15 minutes of MW3 are just you and your partner fighting off an army of goons while making your way up a hotel toward your target. Now that’s how you end a Call of Duty game.
