The arrival of a new Call of Duty is always a controversially momentous event, and the release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is no exception. Building upon the success of its predecessors, this latest iteration promises to deliver fans an intense, narrative-driven experience, setting the stage for a climactic showdown with the nefarious Vladimir Makarov.
Modern Warfare 3 picks up the baton from its predecessor, continuing the gripping narrative right where Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 left off. Players will find themselves immersed in a high-stakes operation with Task Force 141, with a handful of iconic characters returning like Ghost, Captain Price, Gaz, and Soap. The game's launch trailer, which recently debuted, offers a glimpse into the action-packed campaign awaiting players.
In an era where digital distribution is becoming increasingly prevalent, Modern Warfare 3 has embraced this shift. The players who preordered a digital copy of the game gets early access to the campaign, a full week ahead of the official release. This privilege, however, wasn't extended to physical copy preorders, highlighting a growing trend towards digital-first releases.
Adding a fresh twist to the series, Modern Warfare 3 introduces a zombies mode, a first for the Modern Warfare sub-series. This mode presents an open-world experience where players, as Task Force 141, engage in combat against hordes of the undead. The reception of this new mode remains unclear, but it's representative of a bold step in diversifying the gameplay offerings of the franchise.
