This score was comprised of over 2,500 user reviews.<\/p>\n<p>Today Sledgehammer Games&#8217; studio head Glen Schofield expressed his unhappiness about the poor user review, and even tweeted a request to fans of the game to go post their own user score.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t usually do this but, if u like MW3 go 2 Metacritic.com &amp; help our user score. It\u2019s suspiciously low. Be honest but help if u agree,&#8221; said Schofield in his tweet.<\/p>\n<p>Schofield has since deleted the tweet, however, since making the request the game has shot up from a dismal 1.7 out of 10 to a fractionally less poor 1.8.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related Article<\/strong><br \/>\n<a title=\"MyGaming Article\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/15439-modern-warfare-3-gets-bombed-by-joe-public.html\">Modern Warfare 3 gets bombed by Joe Public<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Studio head raises Metacritic user score a whole 1 percent by lobbying fans<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":161,"featured_media":25665,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_enabled":true,"_sma_x_custom_text":"","_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,3,4],"tags":[23,231,233,227,25,229],"class_list":["post-25663","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business","category-pc","category-xbox","tag-call-of-duty","tag-infinity-ward","tag-metacritic","tag-modern-warfare","tag-modern-warfare-3","tag-sledgehammer-games"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25663","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/161"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25663"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25663\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":25667,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25663\/revisions\/25667"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/25665"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25663"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=25663"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=25663"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
