A number of Call of Duty developers have called out Christopher Judge for his comment on Modern Warfare 3's campaign at The Game Awards 2023. The Kratos actor from the God of War series appeared to be making a joke, but it has not been received well. As his comment regarding Modern Warfare 3's campaign went viral, some current and former developers of Call of Duty responded on X.
A former Infinity Ward employee named Ajinkya Limaye shared the comment made by Christopher Judge at the TGA and said:
"'Funny' but yeah the metrics that CoD absolutely destroys all of the God of war games (probably combined tbh) in is also equally laughable (if not more)."
While this surely ignites more controversy regarding the situation, let's take a look at how it all started and what the other CoD developers are saying now.

Call of Duty developers reply to Christopher Judge's controversial comment on Modern Warfare 3
At The Game Awards 2023, the Kratos actor from the God of War series took a dig at Modern Warfare 3 and said:
"My speech last year was longer than this year's Call of Duty campaign."
While Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3's multiplayer has seen a massive number of players enjoying the game, the case was not the same for its campaign. Most reviews regarding this year's CoD story mode were negative, and a major part of the community criticized its rushed development.
Christopher Judge took the feedback to the public forum and openly mocked that title's campaign. The actor may not have meant any harm, but the CoD developers did not like his comment.
A developer from Treyarch Studios criticized God of War's "short user engagement" and praised CoD's constant live support. Here's what he said:
"Imagine having $hort user engagement once your game is consumed... can't relate."
Another developer named Darcy Sandall posted on X that the criticism was unexpected from a peer at an event like the TGA, which was supposed to celebrate the achievements in gaming this year. Darcy stressed that Modern Warfare 3 was made in a very short period and said:
"That joke (Christopher Judge's) would have been such a perfect moment to lead into a comment about the chronic overworking, brutal deadlines and ruthless layoffs that is absolutely rampant in our industry in the name of making profit regardless of the human cost."
