Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 updates Angry fans 'review bomb' new entry on release day as Xbox -

Following last year's impressive offering, fans had big expectations for Modern Warfare 3.

Unfortunately, things aren't looking good as both fans and critics alike have slammed Activision's latest game.

Gamers wait all year for the release of the next Call of Duty but today has been full of hiccups.

Xbox Live was hit with an outage this morning, leaving gamers unable to play the new entry.

The issue affected the UK and Germany, Microsoft said.

Gamers are NOT happy with Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3's single-player campaign.

Taking to X/Twitter, players raged about its short length, poor writing and generic missions.

One fan said: "Call Of Duty MW III Campaign is the worst writing and campaign I’ve ever seen in the COD franchise.

"Like the worst bar none. It’s an embarrassment and the writers should be ashamed. It absolutely deserves the poor review scores."

Fans have taken to online platforms Metacritic and Steam to "review bomb" the latest Call of Duty game.

Review bombing is when, as a form of protest, fans give the game a bad score online without having played the game.

This is in an attempt to discourage people from buying the product and show developers they are unhappy.

Call of Duty fans are divided as Modern Warfare 3 releases globally.

Some fans have branded it the "worst COD in history" while others have called it "amazing."

However, it's safe to say the single-player campaign is not up to scratch, with publication IGN, among many others, slamming it as "rushed."

Xbox users are encountering issues with the gaming platform this morning following a major outage.

Over 500 users have reported issues with servers and login issues on DownDetector.
