Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 – Leaving Behind the Past

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 - Leaving Behind the Past

Rumor Has It: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Leak Extravaganza!

Hold onto your controllers, folks! It seems that leaks for the upcoming Call of Duty game have been pouring in like soda at a gaming convention. While Activision remains tight-lipped about the whole thing (I guess they don’t want to spoil the surprise party), all signs point to this year’s entry being none other than Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. That’s right, we might just be getting a direct sequel to the legendary Modern Warfare 2, continuing the reboot series that took the gaming world by storm in 2019.

According to the leaks, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 will be the premium experience we’ve all been craving, proving the naysayers wrong who thought this year’s entry would be a smaller-scale shindig. Brace yourselves for an epic campaign mode, pulse-pounding multiplayer action, and even a zombies mode that will have you screaming like a banshee. Whether these leaks are true or just elaborate figments of imagination, we can’t help but wonder what lessons this new Modern Warfare 3 could learn from its predecessor.

What Can Modern Warfare 3 Learn from the 2011 OG?

Ah, the memories of the original Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 in all its glory. This game was like a box full of your favorite snacks – a delicious treat for both critics and fans. It delivered high-octane FPS action that left us craving for more, earning those shiny 9s and 8s across the board. But hey, not everything was rainbows and unicorns.

First on the chopping block was the game’s campaign mode. Critics chimed in, saying that while Call of Duty campaigns aren’t exactly as long as a trip to the moon, Modern Warfare 3’s felt a bit shorter than the average, clocking in at around five or six hours of gameplay. And let’s not even get started on the storyline, which had a bit of trouble keeping all the pieces together, unlike a certain Lego set.

Now, let’s give credit where credit is due. Modern Warfare 2019 and Modern Warfare 2 had their fair share of action-packed campaigns, with jaw-dropping set pieces and memorable characters. But let’s be honest here, folks – the story department could use a bit of a spruce-up. Modern Warfare 2 had us feeling like we were stuck in “To Be Continued” purgatory, desperately waiting for those villains to make their grand appearance. Fingers crossed that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 in 2023 will serve up a narrative feast that has us gripping our controllers and craving more.

And speaking of spruce-up, let’s address the elephant in the room: innovation. The original Modern Warfare 3 got some flack for not bringing anything completely new to the table, especially in its campaign mode. Sure, those big action set pieces are as entertaining as a monkey in a tuxedo, but when you’ve seen them as many times as loading screens, the hype meter starts to dip. With 19 mainline Call of Duty entries under our belts, it’s time for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 to step up and serve us some set pieces that will make our jaws drop faster than a lead balloon.

Last but not least – let’s not repeat the mistakes of the past. The Wii port of the original Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 wasn’t exactly a shining star in the constellation of gaming history. Critics claimed that the poor old Wii just couldn’t handle the awesomeness of the game, and now history might be threatening to repeat itself. Rumor has it that the next-gen and previous-gen consoles will both get a piece of the action, but maybe it’s time for Call of Duty to make like a ghost and leave the PS4 and Xbox One behind.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is rumored to be blasting into our gaming universe this November 2023.
