Modern Warfare III Multiplayer: Reliving the Classics and Embracing the New

In celebration of the 20th anniversary of Call of Duty, Modern Warfare III is all set to take you on a thrilling ride through the world of multiplayer gaming. With a vast array of classic Modern Warfare multiplayer maps, including all 16 launch maps from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (2009), this game is a nostalgic treat for long-time fans.

Modernizing the Classics

Sledgehammer Games is on a mission to capture the essence of the Call of Duty community’s favourite maps from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (2009). The Beta version showcases a selection of these beloved maps: Favela, Estate, Skidrow, Rust, and Highrise, all available from day one.

These maps have undergone modernization, retaining their original charm while receiving a graphical facelift. From intense matches of Team Deathmatch to Domination and Kill Confirmed, the gameplay demonstrates how these maps adapt seamlessly to the evolving world of Call of Duty.

New Maps and Post-Launch Content

The fun doesn’t stop at launch. Modern Warfare III promises new Ground War maps and a War mode map on the very first day, with more exciting content in the pipeline. Post-launch, players can look forward to at least 12 new Core 6v6 maps, starting with three fresh maps in Season 01 and an additional trio in Season 02.

Returning Favourites and New Features

Map Voting returns, allowing players to have a say in what comes next. The classic minimap makes a comeback, making red dots a part of the strategy for tracking enemy movement.

Enhanced Movement and Combat

Modern Warfare III offers responsive movement, enabling players to navigate the map swiftly. Cancel slide and reload animations, mantle objects while sprinting, and even fire while sliding. The new Tac-Stance, a balance between hip fire and aiming down sights, introduces tactical gameplay possibilities.
