Activision's recent decisions regarding CALL OF DUTY have taken the game in directions that have sometimes been poorly received by the community. Is MODERN WARFARE 3 good at the moment?

From its release to Season 2, has Call of Duty MODERN-WARFARE 3 lived up to our expectations?

The Choice of ACTIVISION BLIZZARD Regarding MW3 Following the Mixed Community Feedback on MW2 : Many players were disappointed with the slower and less action-permissive gameplay of MW2 compared to the previous MODERN-WARFARE 2019 and its associated WARZONE.*.

  • MODERN-WARFARE 2019 had a dynamic, fast-paced, and highly intense gameplay. Players could rush, take risks, which often led to spectacular actions. Whether in multiplayer or in Warzone, the choices regarding movement and the speed of performing actions were considered revolutionary and gave a second wind to the CALL OF DUTY LICENSE. The game was not perfect when it was released, but its gameplay was already there. Subsequently, season after season, the game was enriched with content due to its diversity of modes and new maps. List of gunfight maps , The 2v2 and 1v1 game modes had over 20 exclusive and adapted maps.

  • MODERN-WARFARE 2 (2022) was designed with a fresh perspective, aiming to bring a new revolutionary aspect as INFINITY WARD studio had previously done in 2019. However, this time the choice was for a more realistic gameplay providing a better immersion. The choice was risky because it directly impacts the appreciated gameplay that had won over the players. The first negative feelings of this change were the stiffness of the movements and the overall slowness of action, favoring static positions. Rushers were easily punished and had a very narrow range of actions and movements to dislodge campers and head-glitchers.

Disclaimer: This article is subjective as it comes from my personal experience as an active player on the license. I state here the events as I perceive them, using the official game data and the overall feelings of the gaming community.

MODERN-WARFARE 3 (2023) has decided to listen to its community by returning to the dynamic and fast-paced gameplay that was so appreciated. Video Movement Guide Here .

The fluidity of movement and the speed of actions have been readjusted to get closer to the gameplay of MODERN-WARFARE 2019. Players were immediately reassured, during the beta the game was indeed to the players' liking, which ensured a lot of pre-orders. Initially, the game was planned as a DLC for MODERN-WARFARE 2 (2022) adding all the maps of the original MODERN-WARFARE 2 (2009). But finally it will be sold as a standalone game for the full price of €69.99 and for the version including the BATTLEPASS of season 1 BLACKCELL edition the price was €99.99.

The game has a 4-7 hour campaign to complete.

The campaign was generally criticized because the missions are open-world on the WARZONE (2023) map. On several occasions, players have to perform boring and uninteresting objectives, such as placing beacons on locations, destroying vehicles or retrieving access cards from guards, leaving you free to accomplish these objectives according to your own method in the style of DMZ mode. Mechanics such as plates, scorestreaks, and opening chests totally take away the immersion of a campaign. You will surely not play this MODERN-WARFARE 3 (2023) for its anecdotal story mode.

For the first time, a MODERN-WARFARE game has ZOMBIE content.

If you were expecting an original zombie mode, on a map to explore and assemble useful parts to make objects to progress in the secret, all while surviving the waves of zombies. You are on the wrong game, because on MODERN-WARFARE 3 (2023) the Zombie mode takes place on the entire WARZONE map in open world with 24 players split into teams of 3 that can team-up (no PVP), There are no rounds and the game time is maximum 45 minutes, so you will have to extract by helicopter with your stuff before the end of the game. A DMZ flavored Zombie mode far from the Original Zombie mode usually offered only on the CALL OF DUTY BLACK OPS series from TREYARCH.

Does Modern Warfare 3's multiplayer have enough content to keep players engaged?

At launch, there were 16 remastered maps from Modern Warfare 2 (2009) and a playlist that gave access to a few popular maps from Modern Warfare 2 (2022) for a few weeks. From the game's release to the recent arrival of Season 2, Modern Warfare 3 (2023) has 7 new exclusive maps, and that's not including the new maps that will be added in future seasons. The 5 maps from the Modern Warfare 2 (2022) playlist have been added to the game's base pool and are now playable at any time. This brings the total number of playable maps in 6v6 format to 28, and the game also features 10v10, 3v3v3, and other playlists. Each map has its own unique features, and depending on the game mode and your SBMM, your experience will often be different. List of the 28 maps actually playable on MODERN-WARFARE 3 (2023).

THE RANKED PLAY. The Call of Duty Competitive Mode

The 4v4 competitive mode for Call of Duty, featuring a ranked system and rewards based on your ranking, was finally added in January 2024. This mode was highly anticipated by players looking to test their skills or try-hard in a way specific to competitive game modes, whether with pure aim or aim assist, with risk-taking in movement and aggression or in a static fixed-sight position. The only thing that matters is victory, because if you win you go up, if you lose you go down. Enough to satisfy you if you are someone stubborn and tenacious.

An ever-evolving gaming experience with new maps, new modes, and new weapons

The future of the game looks very positive with quality of content, with regular updates every two months for each new season, both for WARZONE and MULTIPLAYER. This does not guarantee that all players will stay constantly, but that each new season some will come back to level up their season pass, discover the new maps, others for RANKED or WARZONE, all will enjoy a game that is enriched with updates, with varied playlists and activities. I also recommend trying the game during the FREE-TRIALS that appear several times per season, allowing free-to-play players (WARZONE) to try out some multiplayer playlists & maps on the weekend, which may lead to a desire to buy the game and get the full content. If you already own the game and you thought you had done everything, I also invite you to take a look at the game at the start of each new season, you may even appreciate this breath of fresh content.
