Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 is all set to bring back one of the fan-favorite MW2 weapons, the akimbo Model 1887, in the form of an aftermarket part. This will be added as part of Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3's Season 3 update, which is slated to release on Wednesday, April 3.
The past few weeks have been quite eventful for Call of Duty Modern Warfare fans, with Sledgehammer building up the hype for the launch of the upcoming season by teasing an array of interesting additions. Apart from the release of four new 6v6 Multiplayer maps, including the likes of 6 Star, Emergency, Growhouse, and Tanked, one of the highlights of the update has been the arrival of the popular Capture the Flag mode in Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3. It is one of the classic game modes that first featured all the way back in 2004 as part of Call of Duty: United Offensive. However, it seems like the game mode is not the only thing that is making a return.
In an official blog post, Activision reveals that a total of eight aftermarket parts will be making their way to Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 as part of the Season 3 update. However, the one that has grabbed the attention of many fans is the Wardens, which is unlocked as part of a weekly challenge. Compatible with the Lockwood Mk2 Marksman Rifle, it basically converts the weapon into duel wield Model 1887 lever-action shotguns.
This is by far one of the most awaited aspects of Season 3 for Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 fans, as the Models were some of the most used guns in the original Modern Warfare games. In fact, the Akimbo weapons were so powerful that players could pretty much use them as snipers. However, that didn't last forever since the weapons were eventually patched, with their range being considerably decreased to make them more balanced. Not only that, but the Akimbo attachment also reduced the range of the weapon even further, which ensured that the Model 1887 was no longer a part of the meta.
Despite the nerfs, the Model 1887 occupies a special place in the hearts of old school Call of Duty fans. Over on Reddit, many are already stating that they would only use this weapon in the 2009 game, which speaks volumes about its popularity. However, many are skeptical that the modernized version might be nerfed quite a bit, which might take the fun out of it. Another interesting aspect pointed out by some fans is whether the aftermarket part will borrow the hip fire accuracy from the original gun, as the Model 1887 shined in that department, rivaling the likes of handguns such as the Desert Eagle. Amidst the ongoing backlash around cheating in Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3, this highlight of the Season 3 Update has definitely got the community hyped.

If the new Alone in the Dark PS5 reboot has given you a classic survival horror itch, then Sony's subscription service PS Plus Premium is looking to scratch it.

Helldivers 2's popularity is still sky-high, but more and more demands have been flooding in lately for developer Arrowhead to put a greater focus on squashing bugs rather than adding new content, something which the devs have pointed out isn't exactly straightforward. It's rather ironic, really, given the game's massive focus on killing democracy-hating bugs.
You might think after more than a quarter of a century, Pokemon is running out of crossover ideas. You might also think that the out-there crossovers it does come with might not hit as hard as they used to. Wrong on both counts. Pokemon teamed up with the Netherlands' Van Gogh Museum in 2023, and the products available through it, particularly the Grey Felt Hat Pikachu promo card, caused a miniature riot in the museum's gift shop.
Aggro Crab, the indie developer behind the colorful Soulslike Another Crab's Treasure, has expressed its fears that it may face sudden competition around its release thanks to Hades 2 and Hollow Knight: Silksong.
Using some particularly juicy screenshots from the new live-action show, one dedicated Fallout fan has taken it upon themselves to accurately map out all of the known vaults, making it possible to see if there's canonically a vault near you in a post-apocalyptic alternate universe.
I sort of reject that the Fallout TV show has Easter eggs hidden in it because it, as a whole, is the equivalent of one of those fancy Hotel Chocolat ostrich-sized patisserie collection bastards that cost 40 quid. However. Eagle-eyed viewers of the Fallout show noted that episode 6 gives you a number for Valt-Tec that you can actually get in touch with - 213-25-VAULT (or, 213-258-2858). Charges apply, as well as international codes if you're outside the US, which makes it 001-213-258-2858.
Helldivers 2's meta might change significantly in the near future, with the developers suggesting a possibility of melee weapons being introduced to the game. Fans have been asking for the addition of melee weapons ever since Helldivers 2 was released, and it seems like the developers aren't ruling out the idea completely.
Epic Games has revealed that it will be adding a new feature to the Fortnite Item Shop, allowing players to check how long a skin will be available before it's removed for rotation. There are thousands of cosmetics in Fortnite, and it's not uncommon for fans to have lists of the items that they want to return to the game. Every day, cosmetic items are brought in and out of the shop to make room for new and returning trends. However, unless Fortnite makes an announcement, it's impossible for gamers to know what's coming before the refresh.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Fans want to see Sandbox make a return. The Call of Duty franchise is known for having an expansive amount of content throughout each iteration, with variety being one factor that keeps many gamers coming back. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 has received plenty of seasonal updates that draw player attention and prevent gameplay from getting stale, with one of their biggest attractions being fresh maps.
A fan has discovered a poster that possibly foreshadows a future event in The Last of Us 2. However, The Last of Us 2 fans seem to be divided on the discovery, with many calling it far-fetched.

You can pretty much do anything in Fortnite these days. You can hunt down Greek gods, watch the solar eclipse virtually, or unleash a Waterbending fury as a character from Avatar: The Last Airbender. And starting Tuesday, players will once again be able to attend a virtual version of Coachella, the popular music festival, in the game.
