One God of War actor had some choice words for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3’s campaign while presenting The Game Awards 2023.
The top three Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III maps, according to PlayStation players
20.11.2023 - 16:56 / blog.playstation.com
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.
Sledgehammer Games has comprehensively revamped the movement, but that’s not the only highlight this year. In addition to several other new and returning features, Map Voting makes a return in Modern Warfare III. Based on the results of map voting during this first week of play, we get some insight into PlayStation players’ map preferences so far – – Rust secures the top spot, Terminal as the runner up, and Scrapyard in third place. The popularity of these maps is evident, and whether players are familiar with them or encountering them for the first time we have some insider details and tips below to help you master these top-voted maps.
The iconic desert arena situated in the oilfields of the Urzikstan desert, makes a triumphant return in Modern Warfare III. This small, square map is characterized by its dominating central Tower, allowing PlayStation players to engage in fast-paced 1v1 battles and strategic skirmishes on the ground.
We caught up with Matt Abbott, art director at Sledgehammer Games who gave us some insight into the strategy of modernizing Rust for Modern Warfare III:
“The idea of modernizing the look of a map like Rust, at first, seems like a bit of an oxymoron. How does an abandoned rusty industrial setting look when it’s modernized? With that in mind, we sought to find some convincing modern locations that provided the answers we needed to evolve Rust with the goal of balancing the aesthetic enhancements of our engine with the modern traversal of MWIII.
“We chose a larger modern shape language and a simpler palette harmony in the materials. Because of this, we were able to clean up some of the complex visual frequencies of the original map. By modernizing the style, it gave us some levers to pull to reduce the contrast of materials, edit visual clutter, and highlight traversal messaging that wasn’t available in the original. We are huge fans of Rust and the legacy it has as a stage to prove who the best of the best is. Because of that, we wanted this version of Rust to “shine” in ways that would be noticed by newcomers and hardcore competitive players alike.”
Winning Tip: A good tip for Rust would be to always keep an eye on the Tower in the middle of the map. With its various access points, it becomes a focal point for conflict and a good grenade can be a game-changer, helping take down enemies nested in the Tower.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III Campaign Review: Activision's First-Person Shooter Runs Out of Ammo
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.
