With the formalization of Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3, it’s time to look into the details of this FPS. The content promises to be particularly rich.
Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 is now a reality. For the happiness of the players, it is advisable to look at what Sledgehammer Games concocts for us with care: from single player mode to multiplayer, via zombie mode. Here’s what you need to know
Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 is a direct sequel
In this new epic, Captain Price and Task Force 141 face an unprecedented threat. Ultranationalist Vladimir Makarov seeks world domination, forcing Task Force 141 to redouble their efforts. This titanic face-off requires strategic choices, the use of varied equipment and meticulous planning for each mission. For fans of the single-player mode, the game features Open Combat Missions, emphasizing player freedom. Sure, you’ll have the full arsenal of Modern Warfare at your disposal, but in some scenarios, the strategy is up to you.
Open Combat Mission
Open Combat Missions are the great innovation of Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3. They enrich the traditional missions and offer more tactical choices. If you prefer discretion, opt for a night approach with suitable equipment, going unnoticed by the enemy. If you prefer the Rambo-style assault, equip yourself heavily and attack frontally.
A tribute multiplayer
In celebration of Call of Duty’s 20th anniversary, Modern Warfare 3 introduces one of the most expansive collections of multiplayer maps. We can rediscover 16 maps from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 from 2009, all updated both graphically and in terms of functionality. As Sledgehammer points out, this redesEsports Extraspreserves the authenticity of the cards while adding the latest innovations and content.

War Mode also returns, backed by a massive map that was popular in 2017’s Call of Duty: WWII. In addition, Activision is announcing over 12 new 6v6 maps for future seasons.
New multiplayer mechanics
Players can expect new mechanics in this Modern Warfare 3, in particular many innovations in customization. Here are three such innovations; others will be revealed later:
- Tac Stance : This feature offers an alternative between instinctive hip fire and precise aiming. In confined spaces or narrow corridors, the Tac-Stance optimizes the reactivity of the weapon by offering an oblique firing position, without shouldering. When sliding, this posture is adopted by default.
- Customizable loadout : With Modern Warfare 3, customization reaches a new level in the creation of classes. You have the option to craft your gear based on advanced military gear, such as tactical gloves, body armor, hardened footwear, and more.
- Spare parts : The introduction of spare parts adds an extra dimension to weapon customization. These specific items allow you to tailor your weapon to your playstyle, such as transforming a machine gun with a bullpup setup to improve its maneuverability while maintaining its firepower. These components also broaden the prospects for progression and introduce new challenges.
Many features return in Modern Warfare 3
From day one, we will benefit from many features:
- Classic Gameplay : The voting system for maps returns, as does the traditional minimap operation, with red dots signaling when an enemy fires a weapon. All selected skills are available from the start of each match.
- Movement and Reactivity : Slide and reload animations can be interrupted. Climbing has been improved and it is now possible to shoot while sliding. Tactical Sprint duration and cooldown have been adjusted. Additionally, base health in multiplayer is now set to 150, extending the time it takes to take down an opponent.
- Content Transfer : Much of the content from Modern Warfare 2 will be integrated into Modern Warfare 3, including weapons and attachments. “Universal” attachments from MW2 will be compatible with weapons from MW3, and weapon customization has been expanded with a wider choice of weapon platforms.
A zombie mode that promises to be epic for Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3
For the first time, you’ll be able to join forces with other squads to survive and battle hordes of undead on Call of Duty’s largest Zombies map ever. In this epic spirit, the game also promises confrontations against the greatest enemies in the history of Call of Duty.
Remember that Modern Warfare 3 will be released on November 10, 2023 and will be available on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One and PC. Good news: the old generation of consoles will also be able to benefit from it.
