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.
The short development time of 3 ensured that everyone involved had to drill down to create what would potentially be the biggest of all November 2023 video game releases. This also applied to composer Walter Mair, a longtime fan of the franchise who stepped into the mainline franchise for the first time with Mair shared his surprise at the timeline he was given with during a recent interview:
Walter Mair: We did the last recording session in September. [So it was] from the initial pitch in January, up until September. There's a few weeks after, of course, of mixing and stuff, but from a writing process, everything needed to be done by that time. That's why I first thought, “I’m pitching for next year's Call of Duty, surely.” After I won the pitch, we had the first big meeting [with] the execs, the game director, [the] music director… lots of screens on Zoom. Then, I talked about the timeline, and they’re like, “Yeah, you should start tomorrow.” I’m like, “Sure. Yeah. I can have a think.” I was clever enough at some point to say, “Guys, this is for which Call of Duty again?” [They were like] “It’s this year’s.” I was like, “Okay. I get it.”
The annual nature of releases has come under criticism in more than one campaign review, but Mair shared that the time crunch behind the franchise’s latest actually worked to his benefit. Although has its share of gripping themes, the unique soundscape of the game was designed to set the tone of the world whether or not a recognizable melody was being played. Mair had the following to say on finding a way to use his time that benefitted him creatively:
Walter Mair: In a way, I really liked that. I’d take the first few weeks just to be creative; to do all the nonsense, the weird stuff, [and] get it out of the system or create really cool sounds. I've got a synth rig here and other stuff. It’s like, “Do something creative, and then I can dive into writing melodies and themes,” which comes a bit later in the process. I used each section quite nicely from a time point of view. I wouldn't want to write a melody from the beginning when I don't know what the sound is for the game; I need a bit of time to find my feet.
Mair also stressed that his ability to deliver a top-notch score was thanks to the unwavering support he received from the

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.
