Activision’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 had an extensive gameplay reveal at Gamescom Opening Night Live, showcasing a linear campaign mission. However, there are also Open Combat missions, where players have more freedom in their approach. A new trailer sees Sledgehammer Games discussing the same while showcasing some available options.

Sledgehammer Games debuted new gameplay ofCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 at Gamescom Opening Night Live, focusing on one of the early campaign missions. It sees Task Force 141 sneaking into Zordaya Prison Complex, following some underwater traversal, and relying on line launchers, silenced weapons and the good ol’ NVG to get by. Check it out below.

With Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3’s recent global unveiling, Activision lifted the lid on some of the biggest headlining features in this year’s game, from its single player campaign to its multiplayer component to its redefined Zombies experience. Pretty soon, more details and footage on the shooter will also be showcased.

2011’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 was the conclusion to the Modern Warfare subseries, at least until it came back with its 2019 reboot. Unlike the original trilogy, however, the rebooted Modern Warfare series will not be ending with its upcoming third instalment.

Activison’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is an unprecedented release in the series, launching one year after its predecessor. It continues the story with a new campaign featuring non-linear Open Combat missions, multiplayer with remastered maps from Modern Warfare 2 (2009) and a new open-world Zombies mode with extraction survival mechanics. Who’s leading development, though?

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III just got a gameplay reveal trailer — a slightly misleading title, given most of the footage is loaded with cinematics. Indeed, it is focused on the campaign, which sees Captain Price and his Task Force 141 take on the Russian ultranationalist war criminal Vladimir Makarov, as he extends his grasp across the world. Publisher Activision has introduced a new non-linear campaign structure called ‘Open Combat Missions,' memorable multiplayer maps, and a Zombies mode set in an open world. Pre-orders for the game are now live across all major platforms.

While Activision had plenty of details to share on Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3’s campaign and PvP, Zombies is perhaps the most enticing aspect. It features an open-world PvE environment with extraction and survival mechanics. Players will fight alongside other squads and battle hordes of enemies in the “largest Call of Duty Zombies map ever.”

In addition to the campaign and its new Open Combat missions, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 also features several new multiplayer features. It’s confirmed that all 16 launch maps from Modern Warfare 2 (2009) will return but modernized and with new modes.

Activision has released the first gameplay trailer for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. It’s coming to Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5 and PC via Steam, the Microsoft Store and Battle.net. Check it out below and watch Task Force 141 going up against Vladmir Makarov and his forces.

Publisher Activision and developer Sledgehammer Games have released gameplay reveal trailer and first details for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III, as well as confirmed its launch across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on November 10.

If receiving official information from Activision on Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 wasn’t enough, there are more leaks. @HeyImAlaix on Twitter shared images of what players could expect with the Vault Edition, and they seem pretty legit.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is having its worldwide reveal today, but there’s already some official information to digest. Activision already revealed Call of Duty HQ, a one-stop destination for all content in the series, but there’s more. In the same blog post, it confirmed Open Combat missions in Modern Warfare 3’s campaign.

Following rumors that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is releasing as add-ons to last year’s Modern Warfare 2, Activision has announced Call of Duty HQ. It serves as “one access point” for all future content. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Warzone, and Modern Warfare 3 are confirmed to be included.

The Call of Duty team has just announced that Modern Warfare 3 will feature a zombies mode. My favorite part about Call of Duty is the zombies mode and I’m so glad that it’s coming back.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3’s single player campaign is going to see players facing the threat of Vladimir Makarov once again, while on the multiplayer side of things, it seems the game will be taking a trip down memory lane with remastered versions of maps from 2009’s Modern Warfare 2. Beyond that, it’s looking likely that another fan-favourite mode will also be featured.

Before its official reveal on August 17th, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is seeing its fair share of rumors and leaks (which is par for the course, given the last few months). Insider Gaming and PlayStation Size reported that the sequel is being delivered to Modern Warfare 2 (2022) via add-ons. It now seems that the multiplayer maps are all remastered from Modern Warfare 2 (2009).

Activision’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is out later this year, and despite earlier rumors about it being DLC for Modern Warfare 2, the publisher assures it’s a $70 release. However, Insider Gaming and PlayStation Size on Twitter recently took a “deep dive” into the code. The sequel’s content is seemingly being delivered via add-ons to last year’s title.

With its reveal set for August 17th, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 has become an interesting prospect for Activision. Rumors claimed it was an expansion to last year’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and then later reported as a full-fledged sequel (which was officially confirmed last month).

Activision recently revealed Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, with its full reveal coming on August 17th. As rumored for months, it’s a follow-up to last year’s Modern Warfare 2 and features Makarov as the antagonist. While several details are still unknown, it seems the upcoming beta will go live, as is tradition, for PlayStation first.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 will also be out on the previous-gen PS4 and Xbox One consoles, despite rumours suggesting otherwise. Confusion about a last-gen launch arose when TheGamingRevolution, a COD content creator tweeted out a picture from the Microsoft store, which only showed the Xbox Series S/X logo — unprecedented for the franchise, but makes perfect sense when considering that every major studio is slowly trying to take advantage of the newer consoles' hardware. However, with the game's teaser claiming that both PlayStation generations would be getting a release, it felt unfair to the green team. As it turned out, it was just an error on the Microsoft store, which has since been updated to include Xbox One as well.

Nearly three years into the current console lifecycle, cross-gen releases are still a dime a dozen, and while it remains to be seen whether that’ll be changing in the coming months, for now, some of the biggest releases of the year are unwilling to forego the massive install bases of last-gen consoles. And though recent confusion suggested that the upcoming Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 would be skipping an Xbox One release (but not a PS4 one), it’s now been confirmed that that won’t be the case after all.

Activision officially announced Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 earlier this week, but with a full reveal still a few days away for the first person shooter, there’s plenty still about it that we don’t yet know. For instance, it hasn’t yet been officially confirmed which platforms the game will launch for, and while that ordinarily wouldn’t be much of a mystery, it seems like that might not necessarily be the with Modern Warfare 3. 

Activision and Infinity Ward finally revealed Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 last week after months of rumors and leaks and confirmed Makarov in a recent trailer. A full reveal is coming on August 17th, but the Steam page for the title has revealed the number of studios involved in development.

Activision has announced that, for the first time in the history of the Call of Duty franchise, players will be able to carry forward all the things they’ve bought and unlocked in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2, including Bundles and Operators, will be carried forward into the upcoming Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.

Activision will host the worldwide reveal for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III on August 17, the company announced.

Earlier this week, Activision officially unveiled Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, as months of leaks had claimed it would. Set to launch in November, there’s not much that has yet been officially revealed about the shooter, though Activision has now revealed a new trailer that confirms some crucial details.

This year's Call of Duty has been revealed as Modern Warfare III, and it's coming November 10. Publisher Activision dropped a brief teaser, featuring an abstract mosaic of familiar characters from the franchise — Captain Price and Vladimir Makarov — and a voiceover saying, “Never bury your enemies alive.” There's also the mention of ‘heads of snakes,' which possibly alludes to the ultranationalist Russian Makarov, who also served as the main antagonist of the original MW3 (2011). Sledgehammer Games is taking the lead on developing the sequel, which is part of a trilogy of Modern Warfare soft reboots, which started back in 2019.

Modern Warfare 3 finally has a release date, and it’s coming sooner than we thought! We now know that the logo of MW3 is red which is exciting, but what about the release date, editions, platforms, and slide canceling? Here’s what you need to know.

Activision has officially announced Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, releasing on November 10th worldwide. It didn’t provide any other details, like the launch platforms, but there is a short teaser and some “ultimate threat” awaiting the player. Check it out below.

Activision and Infinity Ward have released their Warzone 2.0 Season 5 update, introducing a wealth of new content and improvements for the battle royale shooter.

After numerous leaks, the official Call of Duty Twitter posted the “real” key art for the next game in the series. It’s a joke, of course, but was followed by the account stating, “We’ll share our artistic abilities and even more next week.”

Activision and Infinity Ward have released Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 update 1.22, which brings a slew of new features and content for Season 5.

Activision and Infinity Ward have released their Warzone 2.0 Season 5 update, introducing a wealth of new content and improvements for the battle royale shooter.

After a recent report indicating that Hasbro couldn’t bring cult-classic Transformers games to Xbox Game Pass because it had lost the source code for the games, Activision’s chief communications officer Lulu Cheng Meservey has taken to Twitter to state that the publisher still has the source code.

With the US Federal Trade Commission’s request for an injunction on the Microsoft acquisition of Activision Blizzard denied, approval from the UK’s Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) is the only obstacle left. The latter initially denied the deal, with an appeal set to occur on July 28th, but the Competition Appeal Tribunal (CAT) provided two months for both parties to resolve the same.

Earlier this month, Microsoft and Activision Blizzard's impending merger resulted in the publisher fixing all the multiplayer servers of older Call of Duty games such as Call of Duty: Black Ops and the original Modern Warfare 2. The aftermath? Hundreds of thousands of gamers dusted off their old Xbox 360s or started installing these legacy games on their new Xbox Series consoles, bringing a sense of nostalgia. The Verge reported that almost 100,000 players joined the online matchmaking lobbies of the old Call of Duty games.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is bringing popular rappers into the game, in celebration of 50 years of Hip-Hop music. As part of its Season 5 update, coming August 2, Activision confirmed that Snoop Dogg and Nicki Minaj will be joining the game and its battle royale counterpart, Warzone 2.0, as playable operators. Other major additions include three new multiplayer maps and several ‘War Track' packs composed of hip-hop music to listen to in-game. The studio also teased a third operator by only showing their silhouette, but Activision's blog post reveals it's 21 Savage. No pricing details have been confirmed at this time but like previous collaborations, they should be available to buy as separate bundles.

Keeping up with its interesting range of collaborations, Activision has announced two new operators coming to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2 as part of the game’s Season 5 update. Slated to become available when the new season drops on August 2, Snoop Dogg and Nicki Minaj will become playable operators in Call of Duty.

Graves is alive, but former adversaries must now align against a new threat. The Konni Group has infiltrated Al Mazrah, forcing Farah and Alex to unite with Graves to fend off the greater enemy.

The time of year when Activision unveils the next entry in the Call of Duty franchise is approaching, and the people working on the first person shooter are beginning to build up to the reveal. In fact, recent social media activity by Sledgehammer Games, who’s rumoured to be the lead developer on this year’s entry, seems to be teasing an imminent announcement.

An image courtesy of Twitter user @algebra_sloth showed up online revealing what could potentially be the logo for Activision’s upcoming shooter Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. According to VideoGamesChronicle, the official Call of Duty Twitter account later acknowledged the leak.

As Microsoft’s proposed $69 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard edges closer to its long overdue completion, discussions about whether a deal of this scale and nature is ultimately going to benefit the industry or just Microsoft itself continue to rage on, but it seems another major player in the industry is, at the very least, all for it.

That a deal as massive in scale as Microsoft’s proposed $69 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard has been under as much scrutiny as it has hasn’t been a surprise to anyone, though it has nonetheless been held up longer than most parties involved would have expected. Nonetheless, with Microsoft having been given the green light for the deal in the US and also currently being in the process of negotiating the deal with the UK’s CMA, it does seem like it’s edging closer to completion.

Diablo 4 has been one of the biggest releases of the year in a year that’s been overflowing with massive releases, and from critical reception to commercial performance, the long-awaited action RPG has enjoyed impressive success in the early days after its release. Shortly after launch, in fact, Blizzard Entertainment confirmed that Diablo 4 was the company’s fastest-selling game of all time, having raked in over $666 million in revenue within five days of release.
