News - Does It Suck. Honest Review & Breakdown Of Warzone 2's First Major Event. Santa's Slayground
But there are these Christmas trees that you can go stand around and kind of capture, like their hard point, and they continue to just give you presence over and over and over. Then, of course, you have the train, which has the evil Santa as well as zombies, which you like to play in zombie mode. Well, zombies now have hats around their necks and stuff like that, but you have evil Santa on the train; you got the zombies on the train, and what's cool about this is this resurgence, which I definitely prefer to the normal war zone, and towards the end of the game.
The Zone just continues to move with the train itself, which gets people moving a bit more and also adds a whole new dynamic where you have to deal with people that are on the train and try and take over the train and things like that. It's actually pretty fun. I would say overall, the Santa SL ground event is actually pretty mid-range, but the War Zone part of it is probably the best part, but that's unfortunate considering.
You know, if somebody doesn't want to play War Zone and you want to just stick to multiplayer, well, you have a beautiful remake of Highrise. You have the return of the shipment, and it's icy, but it's still a shipment. I mean, you're basically just numbing your brain and running around getting kills mindlessly for a couple of hours.
I mean, a shipment is a shipment. And when it comes to the actual event rewards, they all kind of stink, so it really does seem like War Zone got the bulk of the show. I mean, hunting down the reindeer and getting all the things from the reindeer on the map, and like, it just seems like War Zone is cod for a lot of people, and if you're just a normal traditional multiplayer fan, well, there isn't really a whole lot with this event, especially when you compare it to some of the older games again, like Modern Warfare remastered and Call of Duty: World War II, which is unfortunate in my opinion.
I mean, the event is fine. I mean, it is what it is. You know, it's new stuff to play around with to kind of get you in the festive season for crying out. Christmas is less than a week away right now, but I just wish the event was better. I wish the event was more like the Winter Siege. I wish the event were around for longer, and I wish there were more things for us to actually grind for as compared to things for us to buy.
Within the Modern Warfare 3 shop, but ladies and gentlemen, there you guys have it, which is basically just the long and the short, the broad strokes, basically my quick little review of the Santa's Sligh Ground event here within Modern Warfare 3. It's the first big event that we have so far, and I'm hoping that going forward, things are going to start getting crazier and crazier.
I'm hoping for the return of Shamrock and Au. I'm definitely hoping for days of summer. I'm definitely hoping for it, depending on the release of Cod 2024. I'm hoping for another Halloween event similar to what we had in Modern Warfare 2, so we're going to have to wait and see. They did say early on in the promotions for this game that they were going to have a bunch of events.
I think it was actually during their entire Reddit thread that they said they were going to be having a bunch of events within Modern Warfare 3, and we have had those little camo events. I like those. I mean, they're nothing crazy; you just kind of get XP and eventually get an animated camo, but having little things like that to do and little things to go for is fun.
I think I just overhyped it. I think I overanticipated what they were going to be doing with the first big holiday event of Modern Warfare 3, and maybe that's why I feel a bit disappointed. Maybe other people feel differently.
