CoD fans worried ‘horrible’ MW3 Zombies feature could ruin everything
When it comes to Modern Warfare 3, we know it isn't following the typical Zombies formula. Instead, 2023's Call of Duty is providing players with a PvE extraction shooter gameplay loop.
While this still puts an emphasis on survival, it's unlikely to create the pressure and stakes of reaching an unbelievably high tier in the round-based system.
Despite this, a lot of Zombies fans are excited for the devs to spice it up and take the undead mode in a different direction, even if they're still recovering from the poor Zombies experience in Vanguard.
However, there's one aspect of MW3 Zombies that's being described as "horrible," and that's the one-hour time limit.
CoD players argue MW3 Zombies one-hour time limit is "horrible"
Taking to Twitter on October 4, popular Call of Duty account TheGhostOfHope decided to voice their opinion that they're fine with no round-based Zombies in MW3 as long as the new mode is "good enough to hold me over until 2024 Round Based Zombies."
This sparked a discussion within the community, with a lot of players agreeing with TheGhostOfHope, but arguing the one-hour time limit on each was their primary problem with MW3 Zombies.
"The current problem I have is the 1-hour time limit, it makes everything feel pointless considering zombies at its core is about surviving endless hoards," said one user.
Another Zombies fan raised a similar issue, arguing, "I’m all for them trying new things as well but having a time limit on how long you get to play is a horrible decision, even if it is good, getting forced out of a game while you’re having a good time is never fun."
Zombies fans disappointed round-based isn't part of MW3

"No it doesn’t matter how good it is because it could never be as good as round based, round based should be a requirement and a given for any Zombies mode they put out it was the original," said one frustrated player.
While it's extremely likely CoD's instalment after MW3 will include a round-baed Zombies mode, that's not good enough for a lot of fans. In their opinion, Sledgehammer has missed a golden opportunity, but we'll just have to wait and see if the undead mode will be a pleasant surprise for the community on November 10.
