Call of Duty has been the premier outlet for people from the world of gaming to witness the greatness of a first-person shooter at its serene and adrenaline-pumping glory. But this year, it seems that the franchise has missed the mark with Modern Warfare 3, more specifically, with the main campaign version of the game.
Thus, disappointed with the game more specifically the reason for the Campaign story’s length, the entire community seems to be throwing shade at the game, and in that list, is the God of War actor Christopher Judge himself, who took a cheeky dig at the game’s campaign length at The Game Awards 2023. And now, when COD actor Barry Sloane tried to troll the star for his comment, he was counter-trolled by fans.
Christopher Judge Took A Dig At Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3’s Campaign Length
While other games may be known for their over-the-top narrations and storytelling prowess, the Call of Duty franchise prides itself on the constant adrenaline-pumping action through its first-person shooter style of gameplay, which often shines in the Battle Royale or Multiplayer modes. But the franchise also doesn’t lag in terms of its story-driven campaign mode, that was, until their latest offering.

What bummed the fans of the franchise was the total length of the latest campaign, which was just over five hours long, something that was way too short for an entirely new game that was also expensive. But along with that, the quality of the content was something that the fandom also didn’t like, which was a big bust for them.
Thus, to make a harmless joke at the franchise’s blunder, Christopher Judge, the voice and motion capture of Kratos from the God of War series, decided to take a dig at them. During his presentation for the award for Best Performance in the 2023 The Game Awards, he said that his speech a year prior was longer than the latest campaign length of Modern Warfare 3.
Thus, to get back at Judge’s comment, Barry Sloane, the actor who plays the role of Captain Price in the reboot series, tried trolling him on social media but faced retaliation from fans.

But instead of a few gags, the star was met with disappointed fans who supported Judge’s comment about the recent addition to the Campaign section.
Dude, you really want to call call Kratos a clown? But in all seriousness… MW3 was nothing more than an overpriced DLC

I respect you as an actor but this ain't it. The jab at the rushed production of that campaign was absolutely warranted. I know you're proud of the team but the reality is the product provided is sub par, at best.

Thus, this might give both the actor and Activision an idea of what to do right with the upcoming game in the series in the future.
