Call of Duty game studio Sledgehammer Games said that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III has set records for engagement for the overall Modern Warfare trilogy.
While that doesn’t mean that the game has outsold the earlier versions, it is a good sign that the game could have longer legs than the previous titles, which were among the most popular games in Call of Duty’s 20-year history.
“Just two weeks in, MWIII has already set records with the highest engagement in the new Modern Warfare Trilogy,” Sledgehammer Games said in a thank-you message to fans today.
I’m actually having a blast playing multiplayer, much more so than I did playing the relatively short and different single-player campaign. My gaming was interrupted by a week of travel to Portugal, but I feel like I’m progressing better than I have in years past. Still, these engagement numbers suggest that Call of Duty is doing better than you might expect given the relatively weak reviews that were tied to single-player gameplay. I don’t know what I’ll rate multiplayer yet, but it’s clearly higher than in years past.

Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter said he doesn’t know what sales are yet, but he believes the poor reviews will hurt sales for the long tail and he sees more ads early this year than in years past and that means they know the game needs help.
I haven’t even started Modern Warfare Zombies yet, but I hear it’s much more fun in years past thanks to the open world of the Warzone map. It looks like this game could have a lot of legs when it comes to engagement for multiplayer, even though I and others dinged the single-player campaign for being too short. I’ve included a couple of matches where I had good results so far as a sniper/assault gunner.
Sledgehammer said that the Zombies mode is the most successful third mode in all of CoD history. And it says there is more engagement with MWIII than with the prior hot-selling Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II from 2022 and the popular Modern Warfare 2019 title.
I have a 0.91 kill/death ratio and 0.69 match win/loss rate. That’s not spectacular but it’s better for me. As an example, in the first year of Warzone I had a 0.44 kill/death ratio and 0.84 in Call of Duty: Vanguard. Pretty bad, yeah, but this suggests to me that the subtle changes in gameplay and the effectiveness of sniper weapons early in the game is much better than in the past.
I’ve also had more matches where I’ve scored above 1.0

Over the years, Call of Duty campaigns have delivered the closest distillation of Michael Bay-style cinematic set piece action in video games. The first-person military shooter franchise, perhaps the most popular series of games in the world, has increasingly tilted in favour of its money-spinning multiplayer modes, with gradual introduction of battle passes, microtransactions, and downloadable content, but some of its single player campaigns remain a benchmark for bombastic sequences in the medium. Memorable missions from Call of Duty titles are part of gaming folklore — the raw shock of a nuclear detonation, the tense deliberations of a ghillied-up sniper, and the disturbing implications of a false flag terror attack; CoD campaigns have sustained their commitment to over-the-top, knockout moments with imaginative mission design, the “Oorah” machismo of American military might, and immersive cinematics that punctuate the action.
