As the gaming community eagerly awaits the latest installment in the Call of Duty franchise, Activision, in collaboration with Sledgehammer, Infinity, and Treyarch, has unveiled a thrilling gameplay trailer for Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3. Let’s delve into the exciting features of this upcoming game, including its release date, engaging campaign, and multiplayer enhancements.
Release Date and Platform Availability
The much-anticipated Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 is set to launch on November 10, 2023. Gamers can enjoy the game across a range of platforms, including PS5, PS4, PC (via Battle.net and Steam), Xbox One, and Series X/S. Pre-orders offer early campaign access beginning on November 2, along with the promise of an upcoming open beta (specific date pending). Additionally, pre-orders come with the enticing Soap Operator DLC pack, featuring character skins and weapon blueprints.
The game introduces two distinct editions: Standard and Vault Edition. Both editions provide early access, but the Vault edition offers extra content, including the BlackCell Season One BattlePass with 50 Tier Skips, the Nemesis Operator pack, and two free weapon vaults. However, the enhanced Vault edition comes at a higher price point, with the COD MW3 Standard priced at $70 and the Vault Edition at $100.
The Call of Duty MW3 Campaign
Notably, Modern Warfare 3 stands out as a direct sequel, continuing the story from the previous year’s release. The narrative resumes where Modern Warfare 2 left off, following Task Force 141– comprising iconic characters like Price, Soap, Gost, and others – on their pursuit of the Russian antagonist, Vladimir Makarov.
Makarov, infamous for the haunting “No Russian” mission, now takes center stage as the arch-nemesis. A recent reveal trailer unveiled the antagonist’s visage, adding depth to the storyline. As the world plunges into chaos once more, the cat-and-mouse chase between the forces intensifies, promising an exhilarating campaign experience.
Engaging Open Combat Missions
In the world of Call of Duty, players have always had the freedom to select their weapons. However, the landscape shifts dramatically with the introduction of the revolutionary Open Combat Missions (OCMs) in MW3. In a recent blog post that followed the trailer release, Activision delves into the concept of OCMs, “hailing them as a thrilling breakthrough for the Call of Duty Campaign“. These missions empower players to meticulously tailor their approach, enabling them to define the precise strategies they’ll employ before embarking on each unique mission.
As an example, players will face a pivotal decision: opt for a complete stealth strategy, utilizing night vision goggles and suppressed weaponry, or embrace a frontal assault, donning extra armor plates and wielding formidable firepower. Additionally, the environment’s operable vehicles can be leveraged strategically to accomplish the mission’s objectives. Furthermore, OCMs extend support for various tactical angles and capitalize on any available supplementary equipment. These cutting-edge missions cater to players seeking meticulous customization, undoubtedly shaping the essence of Modern Warfare 3.
Enhanced Multiplayer Mode
The multiplayer mode of Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 revisits the nostalgia of the past by incorporating all 16 original launch maps from MW2, meticulously remastered to suit the modern combat environment. Popular modes like Hardpoint and Kill Confirmed make their return, while the new Cutthroat mode offers a 3v3v3 experience.
In addition to the primary launch maps, MW3 is welcoming new landscapes into the fray, introducing a trio of fresh Battle Maps. These locales will serve as the backdrop for MW3’s dynamic Invasion and Ground War game modes, alongside an expansive War map reminiscent of the eponymous mode featured in COD: WWII.
Innovations in Multiplayer
Modern Warfare 3 introduces several gameplay enhancements, including the ‘Tactical Stance,‘ a stance between hip-firing and aiming down sights. This mode grants increased mobility at the cost of accuracy. Players can also construct unique weapon configurations using After-Market parts for personalized gameplay. Noteworthy changes include the return of map voting, red dots indicating unsuppressed enemy gunfire on the minimap, and an extended Time to Kill (TTK) with increased Core Multiplayer Health at 150.
Modern Warfare 3 Zombies
Zombies make a captivating return to the Call of Duty universe in Modern Warfare 3. Players can team up to face hordes of the undead on the largest Zombies map to date. The game features an engaging Dark Aether Zombies story with mysteries and challenging missions across various regions. An exciting open-world player vs. enemy (PvE) extraction experience awaits, pitting gamers against formidable bosses.
The impending release of Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 promises an array of immersive experiences, from the intense campaign narrative to the exhilarating multiplayer mode and the adrenaline-pumping Zombies encounters. Gaming enthusiasts are in for a treat as they gear up for the game’s arrival in November.
