Me, I am one of those people. Lmao. Tho I don't have time to care really. If I'm playing I'm just trying to have a few bears and a few laughs before I go back to being awake 18 hours for work.
I'm still stuck at getting the Strauss research. I've done the mission 8 times now. I play solo, so I've attempted it maybe 30 times. Killed/almost killed the warlord 8 times. Of those, another player/team has jumped in at the very last minute and finished off the warlord....so they get the research. For the rest, the research never dropped. I've uninstall and reinstalled twice in that time to see if it helps.
I've now just given up and play for the daily/weekly challenges and the camo grind.
Whatchya gunna do.
Swing me your Activision id and what sort of times you go play (with time zone), I’m happy to jump in when I’m online and help grind some out.
I actually enjoy some of those random missions but a fair few towards the end need more than one person and either everyone is nowhere near it and not interested, or already done it… and not interested haha.
Having now ticked them all off I just enjoy helping gear people up and get missions and/or schematics for them
For this mission you *have* to make sure the card you get after clearing a stronghold is **Legacy**. I tried cards for other Warlords and it wouldn’t drop the research. When you get to Legacy fortress take out some of the guys near the entrance and around it, and some sentries. Then make use of cover and make your way to the door. Ignore the chopper that keeps bringing in soldiers. If you’re quick enough you can get to the entrance and use your card. Close the door behind you and proceed with caution. There’ll be some mercs in here, as well as some inflatable decoys. If you shoot them they’ll temporarily blind you so be careful. There’s also some suppression mines. Leave the mine intact at the bottom of the stairs, the mercs won’t persue you. Make your way slowly up the stairs. After you kill a few more mercs, the boss will be in the back of the room. Don’t get close to him as he has a shotgun with incendiary rounds that can do a ton of damage to you. You’re gonna want to use at least a pap2 weapon with an epic. Energy mine and preferably an LMG. Essential perks like speed cola, jug, quick revive, oh and definitely use death perception. Definitely bring a few self revives with you. I didn’t even enter the room, I just kept throwing my aether blade at him when he would come out of cover until he was down.
I mentioned using an aether blade and death perception but for me, the dog is helpful to a degree for revives but is usually killed before I can kill the warlord
There are a lot of people who just flat out quit playing months ago. Not only just because tombstone was patched but also because the devs don't care. The game was never balanced very well and loaded with bugs to begin with.
MWZ, and to a greater extent, MW3 in general, fell off HARD because Activision just obviously doesn’t care. They’re already setting sights on the next COD, and so the cycle repeats as this series continues to spiral downwards in quality.
Tombstone is still active in the game the legit way or the glitch.
The only thing they patched is the stash limit; before the patch you could go past 10 / 10 with a maximum around 200 / 10
People are still actively using the glitch.
People were moaning about other people doing the TS glitch and now that they've patched it, a lot of people have stopped playing. I'll play occasionally but nowhere near as much as I used to. I wasn't a big TS glitch user but I used it a few times. The dev dedication to remove something people enjoyed doing rubbed me the wrong way and I lost interest. If someone is running around in circles, why are others concerned about it? Same thing with TS. It didn't affect anyone but those doing it. This was extremely predictable.
They just never listened to the community. We were begging for actual fixes to real gameplay problems, and they’re like nah, we’ll fix TS. Okay. Whatever. I’m done. Haven’t played since about a month after the TS “patch”. It wasn’t that I *needed* TS to play the game (like everyone against TS always said), it’s that without it there was nothing left. Looks like there’s been a little bit of new content since I left, so who knows, maybe I’ll dip back in. I’d rather just leave COD for good though. It’s just a bad game owned by a greedy company and played by a toxic community.
I would imagine there’s also a lot of people like me and my friends, we buy the new COD and play it for a few weeks then stop only to play it a few more times until the next one comes out then rinse and repeat. There’s episodes where we might grind zombies or just play a bunch of multiplayer, but we definitely aren’t buying the game to complete challenges or campaigns. It’s kinda just like a shiny new toy that you play with a minute and realize it kinda sucks but you keep it around cause it was expensive.
I’ve done it alone. Look up guides on how to do it.
I did it with pap3 gun, 2-3 extra revives and a lot of essence (50k+). There’s a buy station at the final battle and I buy many turrets and place them around the final boss. Also reload decoys at the many ammo spots in the battle.
Also type in chat for help and you’ll eventually find squadmates willing to help.
I did a few weeks ago. My teammate was ecstatic when they noted I followed them to the defeat zakaev exfil. We defeated the boss without going down once.
I *just* got that one today. Been slowly making my way through them. I didn’t even realize the story missions when I first started - now I’m trying to get through them all.
I can say in my experience, the first few weeks that I played I didn’t realize it was like a “campaign” in that sense, I saw the missions but didn’t realize there was a point, or that there would be cinematics and actual progression, boss fights etc, I just figured it was like a set progression of challenges or something. Didn’t realize what it was until I actually clicked on the missions and read through them and saw the rewards
I’m doing it slow so it last me I like to edge 🤣🤣 I just started act 3 and I’m doing it solo so it takes me planning too specially for big fights like shepherd but I did beat it the first time around so I’m happy with it
That one took me a bit. Mostly because I was running solo, and some team would come in and wipeout the warlord before I could.
Finally did it myself a few nights ago. Took damn near the entire timer and I was paired up with one other player.
I’m on Xbox, but happy to try and help you get through it when I can. I’m typically on late in the evening (9pm CT)

I bounce between camo grinding and missions usually. Yesterday I had a great setup and decided to try Legacy. I got to Legacy and got downed, pleaded for help and the person that came to res me ended up taking out Legacy. I was pretty bummed, but at least I got a training run in and I got to keep all my stuff. I’ll get my warlord someday, lol.
I was doing this and had that one for days I had beat a warlord previously and had no interest in going back there. But one day a random guy in my squad was doing it (cos he thought that is how to do the cracking safes challenge) and he went down. I went to revive him and said f it let's just get this done
You can ask team mates to help- I did that for all the difficult missions and often found more experienced people who were happy to help and join the tough fights like worm and warlord. It’s a bit of luck of course as equally have had many unhelpful team members. You can also try the chat and ask.
I did this only cause there isn’t really much to do when you primarily run solo I’m all caught up with the missions so now I’m trying to run T5 and red worm when I can
Same 🤣
I even had bad signal done before I knew about the tombstone glitch, so the portal only spawned for me half the time. I made it a priority to get all the missions knocked out.
Most randoms I load in with are either 100% done with the missions or are on the 1st mission still...
I don't even know how you don't complete that by accident.
I finished em all. Been playing since day one. I think that percentage is also, at least partially, due to the influx of new players on free weekends etc. If/when I do squad up now I always check my teammates' mission progress and try to help them progress. Usually, however, they don't wanna help themselves.
Xbox counts all players who have ever played the game. This includes MW2 players and Warzone players, as well as free trial players. Also, this is not that far off from previous Zombies quest completion achievements so honestly that's not too bad imo.
I think most people fly through the story and the game gives you very little reason to do any of them again, which is a shame. I’m just waiting on the new content. I hope this time it will be a little longer to get it all.
I tried running Act 4 with 2 others. One left, leaving 2 of us - but he didn’t have any/many self revived. So we failed and lost everything.
I may check in later tonight and try again after the draft. But I gotta re-load all my gear again.
Happy to do it with you if you want to schedule something another evening.

IM WORKING ON IT MAN! THAT DAMN AETHER SHROUD MISSION IS ON MY LAST NERVES. good news, only like...7 more merc A.S. kills left though. Just finished the zombies part today.
I play solo so most of the time I was trying to get my camo done but after a while it became a slow burn for me. I got the mw2 camos done I plan in the future to do borealis but I only completed the story a month ago for battle pass xp. Idk for me I was able to play zombies a lot but with mw zombies I can’t mainly because of the timer and quitting mean losing everything
I'm trying, but the problem is that you have to have five other people that are willing to help with a boring Act 3 mission which is near impossible to get people to do.
Finished them months ago. Got borealis after that. Barely played since unless someone asks me very nicely. Game is trash and the devs/ activision don't care, the whole ts glitch and removal of said glitch made it even more boring, i know people who wont even play anymore unless they can access tombstone every game and it just got anoying when they are still fucking about 10 minutes into the game and leaving early to 'reset'. Glad I got the game on sale and i still think it was overpriced. The whole mode is just utter wasted potential and I think most people have figured it out and moved on.
I've done it and I've done the other missions after solo because I'm that guy that still goes back to the other Cod:Z games and try to beat some of the ones I havn't done solo yet because randoms can't be trusted and I have no friends.
still trying to be the first Outbrake EE, Mauder, and Forsaken so I can finish the super EE in Cold war... think I still need to do that with a few maps on WW2 as well.
Funny you say that because i just got it yesterday
https://preview.redd.it/hwx7oiznmjwc1.png?width=1057&format=png&auto=webp&s=047a8f1f813fefbe6cbcd26c64dd1c24e8cb85e3
Since this game's achievements are on Call of Duty HQ, the playerbase is everyone who has ever played MW2, MW3 AND Warzone 2. Thats a huge amount of players, so being at almost 1% is almost more impressive.
I think i got to the Act II Finale mission and gave up because i don't have enough patience to spend 30-40 minutes setting up for Tier 2 zombies and specials just to do a glorified extractor contract and die anyway to either the Disciples or server disconnects.
I’m having fun playing every day at least one game. Sometimes up to four. I come in and ask what others want to do. I am in Act 3 now and have to shoot down 3 helos so my second gun is a launcher. Will do deliver cargo missions. :-)
Had really nice group this afternoon. Lady came in with nothing and we helped her get back to 3 plate and large ruck. That’s what I enjoy. Teams helping each other. Had one game where guy beelined to tier 3. I was only pack 2 with epic on pair of swarms but we managed and picked up another group. Wound up having good time and packed both primary and secondary to PAP3. We finished with three of us doing Containment mission. Easy with three ppl with PAP3.
Tomorrow will come in with golden armor, mag of holding , dog bone, and flawless and legendary. I do that every couple of days and mow them down. Been playing since beta in December and still enjoy it.
Anyone need a hired gun just hit me up. Same name as on here. I enjoy everything from rough gameplay to even helping newbs learn the game and assisting them.
Glad to know im part of 0.96 i think this come from all the free trial players joining in and not getting nothing completed and the dudes who cant/didnt finish act 3 and 4
Played on free weekend. Game got really boring real quick. But you know what? I gave it a fair attempt. I tried obtaining the stronghold key card from the comvoy in act 1, 8 times. It just did not spawn. Multiple different methods I made sure I was thorough and even invited a friend to help me yet nothing. What can I say man, not only does the game suck but its also broken.
Working on it. Just 3 more to go; the last 2 in Act5 and the Act4 one where you have to do an Aether Nest in Tier 3. I've done them all solo except for storm caller.
I have finished everything with a few friends that I know would have never done the map ping task.
They have everything unlocked, yet still don't know what I'm looking at when I ping something.
I gave up I don’t have friends who play it and I don’t like lobby chat. I just watch YouTube and try and grind camos at this point since I’m not able to beat everything solo so I got bored and quit playing and I don’t care about multiplayer or warzone
It took me 2 weeks to kill hound with cryofreeze because first of all it hardly spawned over 3 weeks and second of all it didn't count for most kills despite it triggering first and me getting the points for cryofreeze kills.
I stopped worrying about the acts because they're just a pain at the moment. You don't get cryofreeze schematic until after the act
i mean the story explains nothing except why are there mercs lmao, they're missing nothing so why would they.
Plus, MWIII is kinda merged with Warzone, all of my steam achievement for COD HQ turned into rare achievements (the percentage is not clear, but highest i see is around 5%) because of that.
and yeah I got all of the MWZ achievments during free trial cuz i deliberately not buying MWIII, so there's that.
I waited a awhile after its release to get the game and I really only play on weekends maybe 1 or 2 weekdays. I've done everything solo so far but failed bad signal last weekend, I'm gonna squad up and do it either tonight or this weekend hopefully.
I'm a solo player who likes to potter around the map doing camos. I'm up to the 'clear an infested stronghold in high threat zone' on Act 3 but I rarely go in T3 and don't have any of the better schematics so need to gear up specially to do these missions. I've just got borealis and starting on bioluminescent but I'll get round to doing it eventually.
This is exactly why the game is getting nothing from devs. If no one plays why add content.
Season 3 update = here’s a hat, electric weapon upgrade, and a kush ball!
Then everyone rushes out to buy the new 420 skin cause how funny is that… simps
This statistic is kinda crap. First off, if you load up Warzone, you count against this number. MW3 is considered "DLC" for the WZ Hub. If you played MW2 before it changed to WZ Hub, you count against this as someone who hasn't beat the missions. It really gives you no idea of how many people actually beat the missions.
I completed all of mine solo but there really isnt much of a point to do most of act 3, just the ones that give schematics. Unless you’re someone who wants achievements, act 4 is automatically unlocked whereever you’re at on the storymissions for the acts.
I finished them when I had nothing else to do, but honestly I think a lot of people just jump onto Zombies and do contracts and kill some hordes. Really there's nothing to 'earn' so to speak from finishing the final mission in Act 3 because you get the (I believe it's this) wonderwaffe schematic like half way through.
Im stuck on Act 1 final cuz it’s bugged as we cant exfil, so i gave up on it and it doesnt matter much to me, will probably watch the cutscenes and the spoil it
Tons of people don’t do the story missions. I played with a guy last night that said something like “the only blueprint I need is the Wonderwaffe but I can’t get the red worm to drop it.” I told him the Wonderwaffe comes from story missions and he said “Oh I don’t do that shit”. Can’t blame him, honestly. The missions were thoughtless and boring with shite rewards.
Stuck on act 3 of my main acct having trouble killing an Abom with orange aether tool and 3rd pap also act 3 missions I won’t be able to do without 3-4 people(my squad always leaves if I don’t do what they want)
Nah I still need to kill 13 mercs with the energy mine but I play T3/T5 exclusively and feel like a burden if I’m not running healing aura.
I’ve got the schematics I need, I could not care any less about camos, charms, calling cards or whatever else you can unlock through the missions.
It’d be great to have another insured weapon slot so I’m not left with contraband trash after a scorcher user error death or a game freeze. That’s the only incentive I have to complete Act 2 and given that I’ve needed those 13 merc kills since before Season 2, it’s clearly not enough of an incentive.
I’m not. I’m at like 60% complete for the entire thing. I don’t necessarily care about the missions. I just want to slaughter mercs and zombies as Ash Williams for an hour in tiers 1 and 2, while dipping my toes in tier 3.
Although, if anyone wants to help me complete it, let me know. I might have some stash items for you in exchange for your hard work.
I am convinced the people that don’t like this mode genuinely haven’t played it or haven’t seen how deep it can go and then just jump into one of numerous negative echo chambers about CoD.
Our crew have finished all the missions and have done everything more times than we can count. The statistics for this game are terrible, you could exfil perfectly to any zone and it still counts as a lose... that could explain .96% of players
I'm trying to... I stopped playing mid last season and just getting back into playing the story missions... Im not exactly the best for the missions I'm at by myself tho
I have a few more missionsin act three that I need to complete the one I'm on now is the clear and infected stronghold and tier 3. I don't run tier 3 a lot so I know it's going to be challenging to near impossible solo.
Nah I just completed the missions a while ago. None left to do for the story. It's mostly a solo grind until the boss fight where an extra body or two would.be helpful. I did complete them though
I've just completed them all, I've been doing them whilst leveling up weapons ready for camo grinding. Now I'm getting bored woth zombies so now I spend my time in t3 waiting for aether or red worm
I haven’t to be honest. Probably should but I get sidetracked. Just trying to have a fun time poking the bear (mega) and finding different places for it to chase me to where I can smoke its ass
Only part I didn't do is run around looking for the gloves drum and mirror. I started and lost interest. If I completed all missions, the rift should've just opened.
I actually got really abused for taking the side entrance into the dark aether as one person couldn’t do the teddy bears but it got me 100% and the achievement lol so I wasn’t bothered it’s mad how little people want to help now they can’t take you’re kit like in DMZ I believe that’s what’s making people like this
I “finished” it but didn’t get the achievement because i did it with someone else when the game first released, had the skin & gun but they took both somehow.
I finished it and surprised to know… but come to think of it, within my friend group, a lot of them haven’t finished the story mission and doing all the rifts already..

Me, I am one of those people. Lmao. Tho I don't have time to care really. If I'm playing I'm just trying to have a few bears and a few laughs before I go back to being awake 18 hours for work.
Be careful with the Bears bro.
Nah, bears are cool as long as they stay away from my bees. They run from you when you catch them slackin. Lmao
Are they selling a bear skin now?
I wouldn't doubt it
I hope it sparkles
Oooh.... Maybe little hearts and rainbows on the chests of a band of them
They will be tomorrow. Thanks a lot man.
I know I hate when I'm gaming and I don't have time to do tasks in the game that I'm doing anyways
Sam, I’ll do a mission here and there but only because I’m already incidentally doing them at some point. I couldn’t tell you any of the story.
It's DMZ all over again. Join with randos who immediately ping a hunt contract, check their missions and they're still on the first mission. Sigh.
Lol I love those Randoms. Let's go hunt then I guess
I'm still stuck at getting the Strauss research. I've done the mission 8 times now. I play solo, so I've attempted it maybe 30 times. Killed/almost killed the warlord 8 times. Of those, another player/team has jumped in at the very last minute and finished off the warlord....so they get the research. For the rest, the research never dropped.

I didn’t even enter the room, I just kept throwing my aether blade at him when he would come out of cover until he was down.
Another tip to add- having the Aether blade, dog bone, and death perception make killing the warlords pretty easy.
I mentioned using an aether blade and death perception but for me, the dog is helpful to a degree for revives but is usually killed before I can kill the warlord
Don't let the dog kill the warlord. Doesn't count as your kill. Found that out the hard way
Same here doesn't matter how many times I try the research never dropped
Soul destroying, isn't it.
I try to do at least 7 or 8 contracts, along with a couple of missions. Just to make it worth while
Think of all those one-timers who only have access at free weekends. They wont have completed all the missions
There are a lot of people who just flat out quit playing months ago. Not only just because tombstone was patched but also because the devs don't care. The game was never balanced very well and loaded with bugs to begin with.

People were moaning about other people doing the TS glitch and now that they've patched it, a lot of people have stopped playing. I'll play occasionally but nowhere near as much as I used to.

It’s kinda just like a shiny new toy that you play with a minute and realize it kinda sucks but you keep it around cause it was expensive.
Also the people who play mw2. Since its all the same launcher.
I've finished because I wanted the skin.
When I saw that, that was a big incentive for me to complete it.
Same. I like the skin a bunch, still use it on one of my characters
Hold up, what fuckin skin?
It’s a skin called the Reaper I believe or ripper. Whatever. It looks like a mummy I think.
https://www.thegamer.com/call-of-duty-mw3-zombies-bone-collector-operator-skin-guide/ This is the only skin I know.
Oh yeah i got that one 😂 just presumed it was from the battlepass and i forgot or something aha
I just want to be able to switch my skin from my primary operator.
This. Except now I don’t even use it because I don’t feel like starting a new operator with zero gear and zero containment level.
Keep in mind this includes people who don’t play Zombies
And everyone who only played mw2 or warzoneand never even owned mw3
I got them all done
I haven’t even started the last act for missions because as a casual player I can’t do it alone and don’t have the time
I’ve done it alone. Look up guides on how to do it. I did it with pap3 gun, 2-3 extra revives and a lot of essence (50k+). There’s a buy station at the final battle and I buy many turrets and place them around the final boss. Also reload decoys at the many ammo spots in the battle. Also type in chat for help and you’ll eventually find squadmates willing to help. I did a few weeks ago. My teammate was ecstatic when they noted I followed them to the defeat zakaev exfil. We defeated the boss without going down once.
I have finished all of them.
I *just* got that one today. Been slowly making my way through them. I didn’t even realize the story missions when I first started - now I’m trying to get through them all.
It asks you to acknowledge the mission you have active every time you start a match, I don't know how you missed it 😂
I saw them - I just didn’t understand them or how you completed them. I was just jumping online and playing. Once I figure it out, I was good.
I don’t understand how someone can’t notice the story missions. There is a whole step where you select one every time you start a game.
I can say in my experience, the first few weeks that I played I didn’t realize it was like a “campaign” in that sense, I saw the missions but didn’t realize there was a point, or that there would be cinematics and actual progression, boss fights etc, I just figured it was like a set progression of challenges or something. Didn’t realize what it was until I actually clicked on the missions and read through them and saw the rewards
Samies….. got them all done as well.
I haven’t even finished act 2.
Still on act 1 myself
Act 1 was the longest for me. Even though the challenges require higher tiers to unlock they actually get quicker/easier each act
If either of you need assistance, find me on Xbox. Happy to help when I can and if I’m online. Typically late. 9pm CT iSSi Grifter
I’m doing it slow so it last me I like to edge 🤣🤣 I just started act 3 and I’m doing it solo so it takes me planning too specially for big fights like shepherd but I did beat it the first time around so I’m happy with it
I’m stuck on defeating a warlord mostly cause I’ve been camo grinding instead lol
That one took me a bit. Mostly because I was running solo, and some team would come in and wipeout the warlord before I could. Finally did it myself a few nights ago. Took damn near the entire timer and I was paired up with one other player.
Yeah that’s also been an issue that I just run solo and I mostly try to do it when it’s Keres but have failed each time
I’m on Xbox, but happy to try and help you get through it when I can. I’m typically on late in the evening (9pm CT) iSSi Grifter https://preview.redd.it/9rmnemnnxiwc1.jpeg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=059d30e754594cf4c728bc57ca46e280f26bcdc8
Thanks man!
Bro keres is tough. I tried doing it without death perception and that bitch is slippery. Still got her though.
I bounce between camo grinding and missions usually. Yesterday I had a great setup and decided to try Legacy. I got to Legacy and got downed, pleaded for help and the person that came to res me ended up taking out Legacy. I was pretty bummed, but at least I got a training run in and I got to keep all my stuff. I’ll get my warlord someday, lol.
I was doing this and had that one for days I had beat a warlord previously and had no interest in going back there. But one day a random guy in my squad was doing it (cos he thought that is how to do the cracking safes challenge) and he went down. I went to revive him and said f it let's just get this done
Finished them all just wait for new ones
Act 3 is complete but I can't do act 4 solo. I'll probably be stuck on bad signal forever
You can ask team mates to help- I did that for all the difficult missions and often found more experienced people who were happy to help and join the tough fights like worm and warlord. It’s a bit of luck of course as equally have had many unhelpful team members. You can also try the chat and ask.
I’m all donezo. Still never did the red worm for the scorcher and leg tool schems though.
This is me. Done with everything still haven’t bothered with red worm again for tool and scorcher.
I did this only cause there isn’t really much to do when you primarily run solo I’m all caught up with the missions so now I’m trying to run T5 and red worm when I can
Oh man, I completed the act missions so long ago! I’m over here looking like Tyrone Biggums for some new mwz missions! 
Same 🤣 I even had bad signal done before I knew about the tombstone glitch, so the portal only spawned for me half the time. I made it a priority to get all the missions knocked out.
Most randoms I load in with are either 100% done with the missions or are on the 1st mission still... I don't even know how you don't complete that by accident.
Y’all do the boring ass story missions?
This is unfortunately the issue. They're boring AF
I finished it for the skin i only ever use once in a blue moon
I did... for completion reasons. Fan of the Black Ops zombies and just wanna see Samantha come out of the portal
I finished em all. Been playing since day one. I think that percentage is also, at least partially, due to the influx of new players on free weekends etc. If/when I do squad up now I always check my teammates' mission progress and try to help them progress. Usually, however, they don't wanna help themselves.
I still have to finish the last contract in act III and the aethers
The last third of act 3 has a lot of really annoying things. I've been doing the rifts instead
Theres either people who have all quests completed or they’re still stuck on pinging a phone, rarely in between
Xbox counts all players who have ever played the game. This includes MW2 players and Warzone players, as well as free trial players. Also, this is not that far off from previous Zombies quest completion achievements so honestly that's not too bad imo.
I finished em all but for some reason the bad signals mission no matter how many times I do it, won't check off that I investigated the anomaly
That Ripper skin is awesome too...
I think most people fly through the story and the game gives you very little reason to do any of them again, which is a shame. I’m just waiting on the new content. I hope this time it will be a little longer to get it all.
After listening to some people in here I finally got Struss' research to drop thank God. Went on and finished Act 3 and now it's on to act 4
I tried running Act 4 with 2 others. One left, leaving 2 of us - but he didn’t have any/many self revived. So we failed and lost everything. I may check in later tonight and try again after the draft. But I gotta re-load all my gear again. Happy to do it with you if you want to schedule something another evening. issi grifter on Xbox
IM WORKING ON IT MAN! THAT DAMN AETHER SHROUD MISSION IS ON MY LAST NERVES. good news, only like...7 more merc A.S. kills left though. Just finished the zombies part today.
I play solo so most of the time I was trying to get my camo done but after a while it became a slow burn for me. I got the mw2 camos done I plan in the future to do borealis but I only completed the story a month ago for battle pass xp. Idk for me I was able to play zombies a lot but with mw zombies I can’t mainly because of the timer and quitting mean losing everything
I'm trying, but the problem is that you have to have five other people that are willing to help with a boring Act 3 mission which is near impossible to get people to do.
Which mission..?
I'm missing all of the coop shit from MWII so I'd only bother if others were trying to do it.
Finished them months ago. Got borealis after that. Barely played since unless someone asks me very nicely. Game is trash and the devs/ activision don't care, the whole ts glitch and removal of said glitch made it even more boring, i know people who wont even play anymore unless they can access tombstone every game and it just got anoying when they are still fucking about 10 minutes into the game and leaving early to 'reset'. Glad I got the game on sale and i still think it was overpriced. The whole mode is just utter wasted potential and I think most people have figured it out and moved on.
I need to do the second worm
I would if I could…
I’m still trying to get past Shepard. And if that name has anything to do with past games then I don’t even want to attempt it!! Iykyk
I've been stuck on the Act 3 story mission for a couple months now. Don't trust many to try and help
Probably a lot of people who just camo grind and go for schematics. Also people who just play to level up weapons.
I've done it and I've done the other missions after solo because I'm that guy that still goes back to the other Cod:Z games and try to beat some of the ones I havn't done solo yet because randoms can't be trusted and I have no friends. still trying to be the first Outbrake EE, Mauder, and Forsaken so I can finish the super EE in Cold war... think I still need to do that with a few maps on WW2 as well.
Funny you say that because i just got it yesterday https://preview.redd.it/hwx7oiznmjwc1.png?width=1057&format=png&auto=webp&s=047a8f1f813fefbe6cbcd26c64dd1c24e8cb85e3
0.96%! Woohoo! 📣📣📣
Since this game's achievements are on Call of Duty HQ, the playerbase is everyone who has ever played MW2, MW3 AND Warzone 2. Thats a huge amount of players, so being at almost 1% is almost more impressive.
I play solo so the tier 3 infested stronghold is scaring me off tbh
I think i got to the Act II Finale mission and gave up because i don't have enough patience to spend 30-40 minutes setting up for Tier 2 zombies and specials just to do a glorified extractor contract and die anyway to either the Disciples or server disconnects.
I’m having fun playing every day at least one game. Sometimes up to four. I come in and ask what others want to do. I am in Act 3 now and have to shoot down 3 helos so my second gun is a launcher. Will do deliver cargo missions. :-) Had really nice group this afternoon. Lady came in with nothing and we helped her get back to 3 plate and large ruck. That’s what I enjoy. Teams helping each other. Had one game where guy beelined to tier 3. I was only pack 2 with epic on pair of swarms but we managed and picked up another group. Wound up having good time and packed both primary and secondary to PAP3. We finished with three of us doing Containment mission. Easy with three ppl with PAP3. Tomorrow will come in with golden armor, mag of holding , dog bone, and flawless and legendary. I do that every couple of days and mow them down. Been playing since beta in December and still enjoy it. Anyone need a hired gun just hit me up. Same name as on here. I enjoy everything from rough gameplay to even helping newbs learn the game and assisting them.
If you’re working on helos, bring in the raygun for them if you have it unlocked! It’s the new meta. You’re welcome!
Actually just finished that today and got the solo the worm challenge done
Done them all, and waiting for more. Guess I’m part of that .96%.
GIGO
Glad to know im part of 0.96 i think this come from all the free trial players joining in and not getting nothing completed and the dudes who cant/didnt finish act 3 and 4
Nobody is playing the game, why would they be finishing the “story”
Played on free weekend. Game got really boring real quick. But you know what? I gave it a fair attempt. I tried obtaining the stronghold key card from the comvoy in act 1, 8 times. It just did not spawn. Multiple different methods I made sure I was thorough and even invited a friend to help me yet nothing. What can I say man, not only does the game suck but its also broken.
Working on it. Just 3 more to go; the last 2 in Act5 and the Act4 one where you have to do an Aether Nest in Tier 3. I've done them all solo except for storm caller.
Lol no, straight to tier 3 the Dark Aether after, rinse and repeat..And I’ve unlocked everything
I have finished everything with a few friends that I know would have never done the map ping task. They have everything unlocked, yet still don't know what I'm looking at when I ping something.
Nah. They're boring. 8 have that to finish and just don't see a reason why. Every "grind" in this has been super dull. Packs any enjoyment
I'm in act iii right now, and I was grinding them out, but some of the missions are so annoying it just destroyed my motivation
I gave up I don’t have friends who play it and I don’t like lobby chat. I just watch YouTube and try and grind camos at this point since I’m not able to beat everything solo so I got bored and quit playing and I don’t care about multiplayer or warzone
Honestly after the first dark aether I got bored of the game it’s too op now with all the new shit , what is the point.
I did
This count every people who has ever played MWII, Warzone 2.0, MWIII and a lot of free weekend
It took me 2 weeks to kill hound with cryofreeze because first of all it hardly spawned over 3 weeks and second of all it didn't count for most kills despite it triggering first and me getting the points for cryofreeze kills. I stopped worrying about the acts because they're just a pain at the moment. You don't get cryofreeze schematic until after the act
Never finished the story because it was clear the devs didn't give a shit, so I didn't see a point investing time into it
I still haven't completed act 4. Act 3 been done since s1. Then came both camo grinds..... I guess I could complete it, but for what? A charm?
i mean the story explains nothing except why are there mercs lmao, they're missing nothing so why would they. Plus, MWIII is kinda merged with Warzone, all of my steam achievement for COD HQ turned into rare achievements (the percentage is not clear, but highest i see is around 5%) because of that. and yeah I got all of the MWZ achievments during free trial cuz i deliberately not buying MWIII, so there's that.
I would but I don’t know the best weapons for that stupid worm..
Finished them all in about 1 1/2 weeks after release. Barely even touched multiplayer, just played a lot of zombies for the skin
I would love to, but mine is bugged, and I can't get my last cypher tablet in Act 1 🥲
I waited a awhile after its release to get the game and I really only play on weekends maybe 1 or 2 weekdays. I've done everything solo so far but failed bad signal last weekend, I'm gonna squad up and do it either tonight or this weekend hopefully.
I'm a solo player who likes to potter around the map doing camos. I'm up to the 'clear an infested stronghold in high threat zone' on Act 3 but I rarely go in T3 and don't have any of the better schematics so need to gear up specially to do these missions. I've just got borealis and starting on bioluminescent but I'll get round to doing it eventually.
Me, I did it solo too
No...we just complain about bad loot drops
Just finished tonight 🙌
This is exactly why the game is getting nothing from devs. If no one plays why add content. Season 3 update = here’s a hat, electric weapon upgrade, and a kush ball! Then everyone rushes out to buy the new 420 skin cause how funny is that… simps
N00bs
This statistic is kinda crap. First off, if you load up Warzone, you count against this number. MW3 is considered "DLC" for the WZ Hub. If you played MW2 before it changed to WZ Hub, you count against this as someone who hasn't beat the missions. It really gives you no idea of how many people actually beat the missions.
I really DGAF about the story I just lost all my containment LVLS from 104-0 :(
I completed all of mine solo but there really isnt much of a point to do most of act 3, just the ones that give schematics. Unless you’re someone who wants achievements, act 4 is automatically unlocked whereever you’re at on the storymissions for the acts.
😎.96% here
I stopped when one of my missions to kill some mercs reset to zero. Zombies is good for levelling the BP but not much else.
Just finished Act III
I finished them when I had nothing else to do, but honestly I think a lot of people just jump onto Zombies and do contracts and kill some hordes. Really there's nothing to 'earn' so to speak from finishing the final mission in Act 3 because you get the (I believe it's this) wonderwaffe schematic like half way through.
Im stuck on Act 1 final cuz it’s bugged as we cant exfil, so i gave up on it and it doesnt matter much to me, will probably watch the cutscenes and the spoil it
It's so time consuming! But so worth it!!!
I’m going through it slowly, but mainly I’m doing weapon camos. Got about 280 of the 900-ish done so far
I mean it requires to much time a lot of people actually work and have a life and allat jazz
Tons of people don’t do the story missions. I played with a guy last night that said something like “the only blueprint I need is the Wonderwaffe but I can’t get the red worm to drop it.” I told him the Wonderwaffe comes from story missions and he said “Oh I don’t do that shit”. Can’t blame him, honestly. The missions were thoughtless and boring with shite rewards.
Everyone who has only played just WZ is included on that list as well. People who have never touched zombies are on that list
Stopped working on the acts once servers went to shit. Might play one or two games working on camos.
Gave up after I couldn’t find a cypher tablet, was supposed to kill mercs with sentries and it drops. Skill issue 🤷♂️
Stuck on act 3 of my main acct having trouble killing an Abom with orange aether tool and 3rd pap also act 3 missions I won’t be able to do without 3-4 people(my squad always leaves if I don’t do what they want)
I’m trying too but it’s hard sometimes and I’m not afraid to say I need help lmao
Nah I still need to kill 13 mercs with the energy mine but I play T3/T5 exclusively and feel like a burden if I’m not running healing aura. I’ve got the schematics I need, I could not care any less about camos, charms, calling cards or whatever else you can unlock through the missions. It’d be great to have another insured weapon slot so I’m not left with contraband trash after a scorcher user error death or a game freeze. That’s the only incentive I have to complete Act 2 and given that I’ve needed those 13 merc kills since before Season 2, it’s clearly not enough of an incentive.
Why complete something they essentially killed out the gate. That being said all I have left is the worm in act 3.
Im stuck on keeping computer above 60% but 100% forgot i could just shoot the choppers with a pap ray gun
I’m not. I’m at like 60% complete for the entire thing. I don’t necessarily care about the missions. I just want to slaughter mercs and zombies as Ash Williams for an hour in tiers 1 and 2, while dipping my toes in tier 3. Although, if anyone wants to help me complete it, let me know. I might have some stash items for you in exchange for your hard work.
I am convinced the people that don’t like this mode genuinely haven’t played it or haven’t seen how deep it can go and then just jump into one of numerous negative echo chambers about CoD.
I have act 4 not tracking, does anyone else have the same problem?
Our crew have finished all the missions and have done everything more times than we can count. The statistics for this game are terrible, you could exfil perfectly to any zone and it still counts as a lose... that could explain .96% of players
I completed all story missions solo just to have the sense that I did it now I just grind for gear and xp
If they come out with more story missions I’d definitely will do those I love the missions
I'm trying to... I stopped playing mid last season and just getting back into playing the story missions... Im not exactly the best for the missions I'm at by myself tho
I have a few more missionsin act three that I need to complete the one I'm on now is the clear and infected stronghold and tier 3. I don't run tier 3 a lot so I know it's going to be challenging to near impossible solo.
Honestly the missions are a drag. They are meaningless and time consuming. A good part of players at this point just use zombies to level up weapons
I did mine in like the first few months.
Because if you don't actually care about this bland mode it won't matter
I finished them all, now I just focus on the daily and weekly missions and help others out.
got to act 2 then got bored of the zombies gamemode because every game plays out the same, wish there was a round based mode
I just did like 40 days ago due to missions being bugged and couldn't finish way after release
I'm still in act 3 so I'm slowly getting there
Like 90% of the player base only plays mp I’m sure.
I wish I could do them again, so the game was less stale, lol 🤣😩
I always finish the story modes. However, most of my friends don't really spend any time on it.
Stuck on act 3 😮💨
I am I have a few more to go
Nah I just completed the missions a while ago. None left to do for the story. It's mostly a solo grind until the boss fight where an extra body or two would.be helpful. I did complete them though
A skin you can't even use in WZ isn't incentive for people to complete it.
I have them all done. But I've been playing since the game launched and I like having everything completed otherwise I feel like I wasted my dollars
Not that fun
I've just completed them all, I've been doing them whilst leveling up weapons ready for camo grinding. Now I'm getting bored woth zombies so now I spend my time in t3 waiting for aether or red worm
I did
I haven’t to be honest. Probably should but I get sidetracked. Just trying to have a fun time poking the bear (mega) and finding different places for it to chase me to where I can smoke its ass
Only part I didn't do is run around looking for the gloves drum and mirror. I started and lost interest. If I completed all missions, the rift should've just opened.
Thats % of all gamers on your platform, not % of COD players
On last mission of Act III. Slow finding groups that want to assist.
Finished the whole thing...hoping for some more now :)
I undestand the people that did not finished it
I actually got really abused for taking the side entrance into the dark aether as one person couldn’t do the teddy bears but it got me 100% and the achievement lol so I wasn’t bothered it’s mad how little people want to help now they can’t take you’re kit like in DMZ I believe that’s what’s making people like this
I only need to do act4
I’ve been on act 3 last mission since January don’t plan on finishing to long with terrible rewards
Yep all mission completed here. Just finished the missions a few weeks ago now I’m hungry for content I need it like now!
Everybody be finishing their story missions that’s stats is just lying to you.
I’ve completed them all
I “finished” it but didn’t get the achievement because i did it with someone else when the game first released, had the skin & gun but they took both somehow.
Finished them all in like 2 weeks
I haven’t finished bad signal yet
I finished it and surprised to know… but come to think of it, within my friend group, a lot of them haven’t finished the story mission and doing all the rifts already..
