Something something Gamepass will save it
Edit: The good news for Microsoft is that the Don Mattrick Xbox One generation is all over. So from now on we should be seeing better developed games and games without a million asterisks next to them when purchasing it at launch
Edit 2 like a week later: Alright guys I get it, didnt know Phil Spencer was in charge during that time. Quoting myself in a later post:
If that's the case, then why are people so excited about Microsoft buying all these studios as if they're so competent in actually making managing studios well to produce good games?

i am not surprised at all.
the unique hook of the multiplayer in regards to the destruction component was used in the most shallow and borin way they could have instead of making it into something much more deeply incorporated to the mechanics and creative. just an overall disappointment from the multiplayer designers for me.

I was bored last week and jumped in to the Multiplayer to get some of the Achievements and after a couple hours i started to really enjoy it after initially laughing at it. If they were able to get this at a locked 30fps along with party support this had a chance at getting a small following, but they really fumbled.
I still find it unbelievable that they put so much effort into a competitive multiplayer mode for a game whose primary appeal was dicking around in co-op.
So many games lately where the focus on multiplayer was a waste of time, and to the detriment of the core SP game.
Isn't there no party feature for that mode? I can't say I'm surprised that forcing your players to play with strangers 100% of the time has turned out to be a good strategy for reducing longevity, amongst the other gameplay issues the mode had.
I think most people had their fill after a couple of hours. I got all the achievements, had 6 hours of fun and moved on.
They needed this mode for contract reasons, I guess. Power of the Cloud and all that.
I don't understand:
1. It is out on Games Pass
2. It features cloud computing for MP
3. I was told it is a lot of fun

It's a poorly performing, poorly controlling, content starved hollow shell of what was promised. Why would anyone bother sticking around?
It was dead the first week it came out. It was dead even in the beta. (Took a while to find matches, and the lobbies weren't even full)
CD WZ should have been canceled years ago, and all those resources move into the Single Player campaign.
Serves MS right. Originally, CD3 was only suppose to be online multiplayer game. They were forced to add the single player campaign throughout its developing cycle. Complete asinine from MS.
I hope they learned their lesson. Not every game needs a damn multiplayer mode.

Supposedly they were going to add more modes and parties to WZ.
But If I was a betting man, am pretty sure CD3 WZ development is dead as well.
What's the definition of dead here? I've played it for at least an hour a day since release, including today.
The single player mode is decent fun once it gets going. The MP mode has no progression and an inch-high skill ceiling, and you can't play with your friends. It's just not worth playing with so many better mp games out there.
Too many legit good games to play to spend time with a weak MP mode.
I love the single player of Crackdown 3 but the multi player is irredeemable: the maps are small, bland and feature none of the promise from pre-release videos. I was expecting matches to take place in vast cities, not slightly vertical Unreal Tournament maps.
The MP is far too barebones to play it over most other major MP games. No party support is just baffling in 2019. It feels like one those tacked on multiplayer modes that were so common around 2012'ish, but one that wasn't ready for launch. Contrastingly I actually think the singleplayer / co-op is a blast, a lot of dumb fun.
I'm not saying you're wrong but....

I just tested this on my own and keep getting "matchmaking timed out" so no, its not clickbait.
Mattrick left in July of 2013. They've had ample time in my opinion. We'll see how these new studios are managed.

I'm sorry but this has nothing to do with the name if you would take the time to actually check my reviews for Xbox exclusives than you would know this is totally not the case. Windows Central, Xbox Tavern are all biased if you go with those thoughts
Wow, I did not know that MP did not have any progression system. Thanks.
This makes a lot of sense. Thanks.
Not being able to play with your friends was pretty much an instant kill, regardless of it's quality. Cloud base MP is doomed if they can't get around the not being able to play with your friends issue.
This game was a disaster waiting to happen. It's such a huge shame, as a great CD game was exactly what the system needed.
And, imo, a great CD game would have been a perfect pallet cleansing type which would fit right in to the current host of great games we have atm.
