aims to push the juggernaut franchise into the future even as it offers longtime players sustained bursts of nostalgia. Open Combat Missions offer sandbox-style gameplay for the first time in a game and the ever-popular Zombies mode debuts in In contrast, the game’s multiplayer suite is full of maps reimagined from the 2011 classic. All of this was reportedly put together in half the development time typically befitting a mainline game.

In just over a week since the global release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III, the multiplayer experience has showcased an immersive gameplay environment distinguished by its signature fast and responsive movement mechanics, along with tactical enhancements and a refined TTK, urging PlayStation players to navigate fluid and strategic combat scenarios. 

After a busy week full of exciting work courses and trips to the cinema, it’s going to be time to sit back and relax this weekend. However, we’ve still managed to sneak in a whole heap of gaming as well. I’ve been playing through Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin and really enjoyed it, particularly the terrifying Nighthaunt, as well as cleaning things in Powerwash Simulator VR and bounding across rooftops in Assassin’s Creed Nexus VR.

A hefty new Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III patch is here, bringing with it major fixes to stability and map balance while adding in DLSS 3 support for PC players with RTX 40 GPUs. But not all of the updates were able to make the cut, forcing Sledgehammer to push them to the next patch.

It’s cool that Modern Warfare Zombies currently has three Wonder Weapons to find and mow down zombies with, but it’s not cool that you can’t exfil with them. In typical Call of Duty fan fashion, we’re complaining about it.

Activision’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 launched worldwide before the weekend amid the backlash against the campaign. Whether that impacted its sales performance, its physical launch sales in the UK are 25 percent lower than Modern Warfare 2 (2022), as per Gfk.

Playing Modern Warfare Zombies is more than just about skill and luck. It is about your style too, and there is no better way to show that off than with your operators’ skins. However, how to change your operator skins in Modern Warfare Zombies isn’t quite as clear as it could be.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is globally out today, but the first person shooter hasn’t got off to the best start where critical and fan reception is concerned. In particular, its surprisingly short single player campaign has drawn widespread criticism, and a recent report published by Bloomberg has revealed that Sledgehammer Games developed the game in the just of just 16 months, which entailed developers working nights and weekends.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III is finally out for everyone and while many are excited about its take on first-person shooter multiplayer gameplay, especially in that it includes every map from 2009's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, the campaign so far has not been well-received by critics and fans. A new Bloomberg report sheds some light on the harsh conditions and quick turnaround developer Sledgehammer Games worked with to get the latest Call of Duty out the door, which might explain the campaign's mishaps. 

The response to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, particularly the campaign since early access began, has been less than stellar. Many have panned it for the lazy mission design, repetitive Open Combat missions, short run-time and throwaway plot. It should come as no surprise that development was rushed.

The dev team reportedly a year and a half to make the campaign.
