Campaign
The Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III campaign is the direct sequel to Modern Warfare II. This time, players face an existential challenge from enemy Vladimir Makarov that’s unlike anything Task Force 141 have seen before.
As Task Force 141’s rules of engagement have changed to fight the ultimate threat, players will need to adapt their approach to the campaign. Modern Warfare III offers an unprecedented level of freedom and adaptability through Open Combat Missions, seamlessly integrated with the franchise’s traditional cinematic missions.
Get ready for new alliances and unfinished business: To save the world from the brink, it’s time to confront the past.
Campaign: completion rewards.
The campaign consists of 15 missions, each offering rewards that can be used across multiplayer and Zombies. These rewards are available to all players, regardless of whether they played the campaign during the Early Access period.
Insider tip:
Open Combat Missions offer plenty of opportunities for discovery. Keep an eye out for crates, weapons, tacticals, and lethals as you play. Whether you prefer a stealth strategy or a more bombastic approach, each playthrough adds new weapons to your inventory, giving you more options and flexibility.
Multiplayer: maps and modes
Modern Warfare III brings back 16 core Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (2009) maps with a modern twist. The game will feature a variety of modes, including 3v3v3, 6v6, and 32v32, with more modes scheduled for release in the coming weeks.
Multiplayer: weapons
Modern Warfare III launches with an impressive arsenal of new weapons, offering a customizable gunsmith feature to tailor weapons to your playstyle. Multiplayer Operators also have access to aftermarket parts that drastically change weapon functionality and appearance.
Insider tips:
Perks in the game have evolved to allow for more customization. Additionally, a new movement mechanic called Tac-Stance offers a middle ground between hip-fire and aiming down sights. Players should also be cautious around flash grenades and be prepared to avert their eyes to avoid being blinded.
Modern Warfare Zombies
Welcome to Operation Deadbolt. Modern Warfare Zombies offers a massive open-world experience where multinational operators collaborate with Task Force 141 to take down undead hordes and the private military company Terminus Outcomes. Players have several tasks, including unraveling intel through Operation Deadbolt, completing Contracts to earn Essence, and securing and extracting when the situation becomes untenable.
Insider tip:
Perk-a-Colas, a traditional feature in Call of Duty Zombies, can also be found in fridges around the open-world, providing a rare discovery for players.
