Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III Returns with Classic Maps and Old Features

Get ready for an action-packed experience as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III is set to launch on November 10th of this year. The upcoming title will bring back all 16 original multiplayer maps from the 2009 version of Modern Warfare 2. Developed by Sledgehammer Games, this is the first time in the history of the Call of Duty franchise that there will be a back-to-back direct sequel. This sequel is part of the reimagined "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" series, which kicked off with the 2019 release of "Modern Warfare."

What's New in Campaign Mode

The new campaign mode in "Modern Warfare III" will feature an innovative approach called "Open Combat Missions" (OCMs), which will complement the game's cinematic missions. OCMs will offer players multiple choices for mission completion. Whether you prefer stealthy, lights-out approaches or bold, head-on tactics, OCMs have something for everyone. The events of "Modern Warfare III" will pick up directly from where "Modern Warfare II" left off, and fans will be pleased to hear that the infamous villain, Vladimir Makarov, will be returning.

Exciting Multiplayer Features

Modern Warfare III promises to bring back some classic multiplayer features that fans have been missing, as well as introducing some new ones:

• Red Dot Minimaps: Unsuppressed enemy gunfire will be indicated with red dots on the minimap.
• Map Voting: Players will have the freedom to choose their multiplayer maps.
• Perks: All chosen perks will be available at the start of each match.
• Slide Canceling: Players can cancel slide animations without resetting tactical sprint.
• Reload Canceling: Partial reloads can be canceled during an animation to quickly return fire.
• Increased Core Multiplayer Health: Core multiplayer health will be boosted to 150, extending the Time-to-Kill (TTK). Hardcore mode remains unaffected.
• Firing During Sliding: Players can shoot during and immediately after sliding.
• Extended Tactical Sprint: Tactical sprint durations are increased, with the exact duration depending on the weapon in use.

Classic Maps with a Twist

The nostalgia doesn't end with the return of the original 16 multiplayer maps from the 2009 version of Modern Warfare 2. Players who enjoyed the multiplayer in the newer 2022 Modern Warfare II will also be pleased to hear that they will have access to all the weapons they earned in the previous game.

Introducing Tac-Stance

A brand-new gameplay feature called "tac-stance" will also be introduced in Modern Warfare III. This feature allows players to unshoulder their weapon and hold it in a canted firing position. It can be toggled while aiming down sights and is designed to offer improved mobility and handling in close-quarter combat situations, trading off precise accuracy for speed.

New Competitive Multiplayer Mode

Modern Warfare III will also debut a new 3v3v3 competitive multiplayer mode called "Cutthroat," in addition to some returning classic modes.
