Season One has officially kicked off in Black Ops 6, following a major update. Apart from the new content, battle pass, weapons, maps and everything else players knew they were getting after the season goes live, it seems Call of Duty developers threw in an unexpected gift.
]]>Suprise, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 — the 2023 one — becomes the first title in the series to hit Xbox Game Pass today, July 24, right in time for you to get in plenty of prep ahead of Call of Duty Black Ops 6's arrival. But just how much practice have you got time to get in? Well, never fear, we've done some ludicrous maths.
]]>UPDATE (25/06/24, 11:20 AM BST): We reached out to Neeher to get a bit more of a picture of how they felt about this bizarre link between their mod and CoD, they told us the following: "It was a funny moment where I was like... wait a minute! Task Force 141 of course being a classic CoD military squad thing, and Xander's Aid from several years ago sharing the same number. Now, of course at the time when I made that mod I didn't have any texturing skills. So I just took the Vault 114 texture and swapped the 4 and 1 to make up 141. That's really as deep as it goes. [It] got a good laugh out of me, thinking that through some twisted mental gymnastics I could imagine that Vault 141 is a real lore vault."
]]>A gameplay video has just been revealed for the upcoming Call of Duty and Gundam collaboration, showing three character skins as well as a variety of unique weapon cosmetics that bring the universe of Gundam to Modern Warfare 3. As everyone knows, Gundam is all about how rad war is and how you can blast away other fighters without worrying about it, so it's obviously a perfect fit.
]]>2024 will forever be known as the year of record games industry layoffs and studio closures, but I’d argue it will be just as remembered as the year Xbox lost the plot. Every other month, Microsoft’s gaming division has what ranges from avoidable PR scandal to full-on doom-and-gloom meltdown.
]]>Xbox has just confirmed its summer showcase, and it sure does look like it'll be following it up with a Call of Duty Direct immediately afterwards.
]]>After about a year in limited testing, Activision has finally announced a public release date for Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile. The mobile off-shoot arrives March 21 worldwide, on iOS and Android.
]]>If there's a single characteristic you could assign to the current era of Call of Duty, which does not change from game to game, it would be its matchmaking system. This has often been a black box; a topic Activision was never willing to address publically with the wider community, or at more private media events.
]]>As if the very popular, but also very controversial Palworld wasn’t becoming inescapable enough for those of us who have to use the internet on a daily basis, it’s quickly becoming a very potent source of both Call of Duty and Fortnite-esque trickshots and the kinds of launches Skyrim’s giants are infamous for.
]]>EAFC 24 has roared back to the head of the UK physical sales charts following Black Friday, likely due to the fact it was being sold for a lot less money in a lot of places during that week.
]]>Activision is trying to paint the best picture possible about the launch of Modern Warfare 3. Even setting aside the fact that it is Call of Duty's worst-rated game, every other metric seems to suggest that this one is not a hit.
]]>Modern Warfare 3's first-ever double everything event is upon us. Starting later today, the game will kick off a double XP, double weapon XP, and double battle pass XP event across all platforms.
]]>In Modern Warfare 3 Zombies, players have a whole bunch of story missions to complete for XP and other rewards. One such mission during Act 2 of MWZ, Reaper, will task players with finding and destroying Harvester Orbs in Urzikstan.
]]>In Modern Warfare 3 Zombies, there are dozens of story missions to complete that’ll land you with XP, loot, and other resources to take into a match. One such mission during Act 2 of Zombies, Guardian Angel, will net you XP and an epic aether tool if you complete it.
]]>Modern Warfare 3 Zombies is pretty good fun, but it hasn’t been without its issues. With that in mind, one issue that some players have faced is broken Contracts; they’ll pick up an objective to complete, and for some reason or another, it cannot be completed.
]]>There are plenty of weapons to mow down the undead within Modern Warfare 3 Zombies, but one particular weapon that players have had their eye on is the Sentry Gun. Now, this was primarily due to a glitch that allowed players to farm copious amounts of XP with the turret - which has since been fixed - but it’s still worth playing around with, especially if you’re going into matches solo.
]]>In Modern Warfare 3 Zombies, there are more ways to get around Urzikstan than by using UTV, Armored Trucks, or even Portals. On your map, there will be Redeploy Drones, and these useful machines can really aid with traversal of the apocalyptic city if you use them.
]]>Modern Warfare 3 launched with a lot of baggage carried over from Modern Warfare 2, and the old version of Warzone. Because the vast majority of skins, weapons, operators and more carry forward from those games to this year's Call of Duty, problems became clear on day one.
]]>The latest game to come out of nowhere and unexpectedly take Steam by storm is an indie co-op horror title called Lethal Company, which currently sits higher than the latest Call of Duty on the platform’s top sellers list.
]]>The launch of Modern Warfare 3 is firmly behind us now, so Activision and Sledgehammer Games have shifted the focus to hyping up some of what to expect when the first season drops. We still don't have a firm date for it, but we do have new information about some of the new content.
]]>In Modern Warfare 3 Zombies, you’ll be tasked with mowing down hordes of zombies and trying to exfil with arms full of loot. On top of that, though, there are story missions for players to complete for rewards that you can take into your next match with you, and a few of these need you to acquire the Cyphered Tablet item.
]]>As you make progress in Modern Warfare 3 Zombies, you’ll find yourself venturing into higher-threat zones more often, and taking on some particular tough zombies. One type of zombie you’ll eventually run into is the disciple.
]]>Sledgehammer Games, which recently rolled out the first major patch for Modern Warfare 3, has also pushed out a playlist update for the weekend. Playlist updates bring new playlists to the game, and typically rotate every week or so.
]]>Modern Warfare 3’s Zombies mode is all about tackling hordes of zombies and completing contracts while you’re at it. You’ll be running around grabbing loot like there’s no tomorrow, and praying for a successful exfil so you don’t lose it all. One thing that can help you during a particularly perilous match is Doghouses.
]]>As you dive into Modern Warfare 3's Zombies mode and go about slaying the undead, there’s a dozen story missions for you to complete while you’re at it. One such mission - Interceptor - which appears during Act 1: Welcome to Operation Deadbolt, will request that you find and destroy a Mercenary Convoy.
]]>Even before Modern Warfare 3 came out and everyone spent enough time with it to see just how utterly mediocre it is, it was easy to see that the so-called Open Combat Missions were going to be the weakest part of what already looked like a hollow campaign.
]]>Players that want fancy new camos for their weapons in Modern Warfare 3 Zombies will need to complete some challenges to do so, and one such challenge to unlock the Blister Digital TAQ-56 camo involves dishing out toxic damage kills.
]]>Modern Warfare 3 Zombies pits you and your team against hordes of the undead as you try to complete contracts, earn Essence, and power up your arsenal so that you can do it all again for better loot. And if you’re doing just that, you’ll want a Large Rucksack to stowaway all your hard-earned gear in.
]]>Modern Warfare 3 has received its first major patch since the game's release on November 10. Patch 1.33 came out Wednesday on all platforms, and it's one that's been highly anticipated. The problem, unfortunately, is that so much of what players were looking forward to didn't actually make it.
]]>Modern Warfare 3’s Zombies mode will see you mowing down hordes of the undead with your arsenal of weapons and other gear, but some gear you’ll come across can actually be crafted, and that’s what those schematics you’ll be occasionally picking up are for.
]]>In Modern Warfare 3’s Zombies mode, you’ll be tasked with various objectives while completing the modes’ story missions. One such mission, Road Rage, which appears during Act 1: Welcome to Operation Deadbolt, will ask that you repair a tire on your vehicle.
]]>Modern Warfare 3’s Zombies mode isn’t just about mowing down legions of the undead. There are story missions for players to complete if they want to unlock more resources to use across the battlefield, and one such resource you’ll need to use during the Freezer Burn mission is Cryo Freeze Ammo.
]]>A lot of modern Call of Duty coverage on YouTube on Twitch comes from a small segment of ultra-dedicated players, most of whom play barely anything else. A few even managed to turn playing CoD into their full-time job.
]]>Modern Warfare 3 has an assortment of weapons for players to choose from and experiment with, but as always, there are some guns that have proven to be the best weapons in MW3 right now. Some weapons have returned from previous titles, including the TAQ 56, which is proving to be a solid pick in MW3 at the moment.
]]>Modern Warfare 3 is packed with weapons to choose from, but as ever, the best weapons are already standing out from the crowd and being picked apart by COD pros and players.
]]>Modern Warfare 3 has a never-ending array of weapons to experiment with, but there will always be a few exceptional weapons that shine much brighter than the rest in multiplayer matches and zombies. This particular weapon - the Holger 556 - was banned from use in competitive matches on Day 1 of release…
]]>Modern Warfare 3 launched with a feature no previous Call of Duty had. That, of course, was the ability for skins, weapons, operators and so on to carry forward from MW2. We can spend all day arguing the merits of that decision, but the point is that MW3 started its life with a lot of baggage from Warzone, and last year's game.
]]>Modern Warfare 3 is packed with weapons, and those who like firing heads from down a scope are in luck. Of all the weapons to play around with, there are ten snipers to experiment with. That said, of all ten, some have already established themselves as MW3’s best snipers.
]]>Modern Warfare 3 has arrived with its never-ending arsenal of customisable weapons for players to experiment with. If you’ve played Call of Duty before, you’ll no doubt already have plenty of weapons in mind that are right for you, and if that includes snipers, you’re in the right place.
]]>Modern Warfare 3 is here, and some weapons have already earned their place atop the MW3 meta. While you sit back and try to complete various Armory Unlock challenges so you can have the most powerful weapons available to you, there are some early unlocks that you can certainly have some fun with.
]]>It's pretty clear that the launch of Modern Warfare 3 has had more negatives associated with it than positives. As poorly received as the game has been so far, Call of Duty games always sell very well. Some, clearly, more than others.
]]>At this point, no one could say they're really surprised about just how utterly poorly received Modern Warfare 3 has been. As the dust continues to settle and more reviews get released (ours coming soon, though here's the campaign for now), it's becoming clear that this is one of the worst-scoring games of 2023.
]]>If you’ve spent any time playing Modern Warfare 3 multiplayer, you’ll no doubt have been introduced to Armory Unlocks, a new progression system that hides a wealth of functional items that you’d normally expect to earn through normal character level progression.
]]>Modern Warfare 3 has hit the shelves with its grand arsenal of customisable weapons, middling campaign, and a new feature known as Tactical Stance. The question of ‘what is Tactical Stance?’ is on many players minds, and it’s what COD describes as a balance between mobility and accuracy.
]]>Modern Warfare 3 has a range of weapons for you to experiment with, and plenty have already proven to be some of MW3's best guns. One such weapon that you can grab and fly around maps with early on in MW3 is the BAS B battle rifle. This versatile rifle is slow to begin with, but our best MW3 BAS B loadout shows you how to get the most out of this weapon.
]]>Modern Warfare 3 has dozens of weapons to choose from, and your loadout will depend entirely on whether you fancy running maps down with a powerful SMG or taking things a little slower with a sniper.
]]>Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 has brought with it another blockbuster season of hyper-competitive multiplayer action.
]]>Modern Warfare 3 has arrived, and with it, a new update to Ricochet Anti-Cheat, Activision's ever-evolving watcher. The team behind it has revealed some of the new tools being deployed on the backend, and a few delicious new additions to the ever-growing list of tricks the game can use to torment cheaters.
]]>As you dive into Modern Warfare 3 and try to climb to the top of the leaderboard in multiplayer, you’ll probably wind up experimenting with your arsenal of weapons. That said, some weapons have already established their positions with MW3’s meta of the best guns and easily stand out amongst the rest.
]]>Modern Warfare 3 boasts plenty of guns that you can customise to your heart's content. Whether you prefer taking on enemies from a distance or would rather maniacally run around praying and spraying, there’s plenty to familiarise yourself with. And of course, some guns have already proven to be the best weapons in MW3 right now.
]]>In what's bound to be the least surprising news of the year, the just-released Modern Warfare 3 had less than half the development time most Call of Duty games get. That's according to a new report, which reveals that Sledgehammer Games was only given under 18 months to develop it.
]]>Let me just say from the outset that I love a good COD campaign. At their best, they’re the video game equivalent of a Jerry Bruckheimer production: visceral, over-the-top extravaganzas where half the joy is in simply grinning as an infinite budget gets blasted onto your retinas from a Hollywood money cannon. Just, uh, just don’t think too hard about the wretched politics of the thing.
]]>Modern Warfare 3 is this year’s Call of Duty, whether we like it or not. Call of Duty fans are Call of Duty fans, so they’re going to play this year’s game regardless. They generally have their own opinions about every tiny detail, and they’re unlikely to be reading this.
]]>Modern Warfare 3 is here with its arsenal of military weaponry that you can customise to suit you. As ever, some weapons are better than others, and a few of them are establishing themselves as strong contenders for the best weapon to go ahead and killstreak in multiplayer matches with.
]]>Modern Warfare 3 comes with a huge arsenal of weapons that can be customised with attachments to make a powerful weapon that suits your playstyle. Whether you prefer quick-scoping enemies from a distance or running chaotically across the map spraying them down, there’s something to suit you.
]]>Modern Warfare 3’s campaign has left a lot to be desired from the developer, but there’s no denying that there are some fun weapons to be playing with as you roam around shooting folk in multiplayer. Already, plenty of weapons have established themselves to be a part of MW3’s meta of best guns, and they're pretty fun to play with.
]]>If you’re playingModern Warfare 3’s multiplayer modes at the moment, you’ll be surprised (or not!) that there’s a huge array of weapons for you to choose from and customise to suit your playstyle. As ever, though, some weapons stand out amongst the rest and are becoming MW3's most meta weapons, and the MCW is one of them.
]]>Modern Warfare 3 has plenty of weapons for you to try out. As ever, though, MW3's best guns have long emerged in the meta. Whether you like to aggressively run and gun down your opponents or sit back with a sniper, there’s something for everyone. Snipers, however, will appreciate MW3’s best Longbow loadout as they try to level up.
]]>As you soar through Modern Warfare 3’s campaign and put yourself to the test in its multiplayer mode, you’ll find a huge arsenal of weapons to choose from. Some of these weapons have already established themselves within the meta as the best guns to be using, and this includes handguns, namely the Renetti.
]]>Modern Warfare 3 is technically not out for a few more hours (depending on your platform and where you happen to be in the world) but, as is the case every year, the servers are already live. This means there are ways to access multiplayer - or potentially more - right now.
]]>Right now, it’s safe to say that the campaign of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3’s 2023 reboot is going down like a lead balloon with critics. The consensus seems to describe MW3 as being a pretty dull offering. Its new innovations aren’t executed well, and much of its campaign feels reused and recycled from previous Modern Warfares.
]]>Call of Duty multiplayer and Warzone have had their ups and downs when it comes to cheating, and it's looking like Modern Warfare 3 will not escape that cycle. After players reported running into cheaters in the recent beta, many are now concerned multiplayer's imminent launch will be riddled with cheaters.
]]>The Modern Warfare 3 campaign introduces an interesting style of mission that you have not quite seen before in any other Call of Duty. They’re called Open Combat Missions, and they give you freedom to approach the different situations in a way that suits you.
]]>I find late title cards fascinating. When/how creators choose to drop the name of their game/film says a lot about how they perceive their work, and what they want to immediately call attention to. In that way, the title card for Modern Warfare 3’s campaign is quite effective. It tells you all you need to know about the experience you’re about to have with it.
]]>Boy oh boy does Microsoft want you to know that Modern Warfare 3 is available to pre-order, and that you can play its campaign right now if you do so. The platform holder's way of advertising that fact, however, is very questionable.
]]>Though we are one week away from the official launch of Modern Warfare 3, anyone who buys a digital edition of the game from now until then can play the full campaign immediately. This is the second year in-a-row that Call of Duty has done this.
]]>Sony will sell a PlayStation 5 Slim disc edition bundle with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, per an advertisement that has appeared online.
]]>We are just days away now from the big launch of Modern Warfare 3, and developer Sledgehammer Games is starting to reveal more and more of what you can expect at launch, including a surprise.
]]>The full launch of Modern Warfare 3 is just a few short days away. If you're excited to play this year's Call of Duty, you've likely already finished the poorly-received campaign.
]]>It must be Call of Duty season, folks! Nothing gets Call of Duty fans' blood pumping like their yearly impassioned pleas to rid the series of SBMM. Modern Warfare 3 is mere days away at this point, which means it's time for the people who buy Call of Duty every year to complain about their favourite topic.
]]>It looks like Microsoft’s recently completed deal to acquire Activision Blizzard is already resulting in a slight bump to the amount of people who’re considering subscribing to Xbox Game Pass.
]]>Xbox boss Phil Spencer has said that players shouldn’t expect to see a flood of Activision Blizzard games arrive on Game Pass before this year is out.
]]>With Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard seemingly closing in, the Call of Duty and Diablo developer has clarified when we can expect to see them on Game Pass.
]]>The first session of the Modern Warfare 3 beta continues to be live (until tomorrow, October 10), but most players interested probably already jumped in over the weekend.
]]>You can earn rewards in Modern Warfare 3 upon release by watching others play the Call of Duty: Beta on Twitch. The more you watch, the more items you can earn in-game for Modern Warfare 3.
]]>As part of Call of Duty: Next, Raven Software took the stage to reveal what's next for Call of Duty: Warzone. The latest iteration of the free-to-play battle royale mode arrives alongside Modern Warfare 3.
]]>Activision and Treyarch have revealed the first look at the Zombies game mode, which is featured fully in Sledgehammer's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 universe.
]]>Despite the recently released, underwhelming multiplayer trailer, Modern Warfare 3 remains one of the year's biggest games. Though its multiplayer mode is largely simialr to last year's Modern Warfare 2, developer Sledgehammer Games is making major changes that should please long-time players.
]]>Ahead of the big multiplayer reveal event later this week, Activision and Sledgehammer Games dropped our first look at Modern Warfare 3 multiplayer in the form of a new trailer. As we've come to expect from these early trailers, this one is heavily stylised, and really only serves to quickly show off some of the new features/maps/weapons and general feel of the mode.
]]>The big Modern Warfare 3 multiplayer reveal is quickly approaching. To whet your appetite a bit, developer Sledgehammer Games unveiled one of the big new features early. The Aftermarket Parts system is an overhaul to Conversion Kits, which is part of the weapon-building Gunsmith.
]]>It's that time of year again, folks: Call of Duty beta time! This is the year of Modern Warfare 3, and we're going to be getting another chance at some hands-on time soon. There are a few interesting changes to mechanics this year, and the MW3 beta will provide the perfect opportunity to sample them ahead of launch.
]]>It's honestly a little endearing how hard Call of Duty's various studios continue to try and make its lore and characters matter. After the big reveal that Modern Warfare 3 would be bringing back classic villain Makarov - despite him not being anywhere in the story of the reboots, all bets were off.
]]>A new voice moderation tool, powered by AI, has been added to Call of Duty to protect players from “toxic or disruptive behaviour they may encounter.” This tool is said to help increase Activision’s ability to “identify and enforce against bad behaviour that has gone unreported.”
]]>The more of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 gets revealed, the harder it is to believe this game started out as anything but an expansion that Activision decided to blow up into a full game.
]]>Modern Warfare 3 is officially a real game that Call of Duty fans can look forward to. Following an underwhelming reveal that didn't actually tell us anything that hadn't already leaked, all eyes have been on the Opening Night Live to deliver something that will get us more excited.
]]>David Vonderhaar, longtime Call of Duty lead, has announced he has left Activision and Treyarch.
]]>Against all odds, Modern Warfare 3 is bringing back Zombies mode, in a first for the series. But when Activision teased that it would be "the largest Zombies offering to date" everyone in the starving Zombies community suddenly was interested in the game.
]]>Modern Warfare 3 really is trying to garner as much of a positive vibe from the Call of Duty community - particularly those on YouTube, and Twitch - as it can. Sledgehammer Games, the lead developer on this one, has sort of positioned itself as the studio that "corrects" the wrongs made by the developer of the preceding Call of Duty.
]]>What was once referred simply as 'Call of Duty 2023' has been officially revealed to be Modern Warfare 3. Thanks to an in-game Warzone event, the reveal trailer has been unleashed, and with it, solid information about what players can expect.
]]>The Modern Warfare 3 reveal event just concluded in Warzone. Whether or not you decided to take part, the result is that the game's official reveal trailer has been unlocked for everyone. With it, we got another look at gameplay, and a better understanding of the stakes this time around.
]]>We're just a couple of hours away from the official unveiling of Modern Warfare 3 and the leaks aren't stopping. The most recent one comes from the in-game files, as they tend to do when the game is about to be revealed in Warzone.
]]>Of all the leaks that lead up to the reveal of Modern Warfare 3, none of them suggested that this year's game would be the one to bring Zombies back into the series. Zombies mode has always been one of the key pillars of Call of Duty, of course, but the mode has either ben absent or so poorly implemented that you'd think Zombies was no longer a concern.
]]>Considering how practically everything about Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 leaked ahead of time, fans have been a bit too trusting of so called insiders, even when they point out what could be mistakes or omissions, rather than actual leaks.
]]>Call of Duty will soon be under Microsoft's umbrella, but it isn't yet - and as it turns out, Modern Warfare 3's first beta is getting a head start on PlayStation.
]]>As promised, Call of Duty will allow players - for the first time ever - to bring forward content they own from one game into the next. In this case, anything you've unlocked or bought in Modern Warfare 2 will be available in Modern Warfare 3.
]]>In case you've somehow missed it, Modern Warfare 3 is the new Call of Duty for 2023. It's been leaked more than one way, and later officially announced with a November 10 release date.
]]>Folks, it's the moment we've all been expecting because it's been leaked in so many different ways. This year's Call of Duty game is, indeed, Modern Warfare 3. Activision finally confirmed the official name and title styling in a new teaser trailer.
]]>You have to feel for social media managers who now have to deal with game leaks. Before, big companies used to simply pretend they didn't happen, and only used their social media to propagate the official messages. These days, however, they're a little more willing to appear "hip"/"with it" and engage in the discourse.
]]>If you're hoping to catch the Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 reveal live, you'll need to take part in a special Warzone 2.0 event.
