Following on from itsofficial reveallast week,Call of Dutyfans just got a much more in-depth look atCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 3in action thanks to some exciting new footage unveiled during Gamescom’s Opening Night Live.
Specifically, fans have been shown the very first cinematic campaign mission, titled Operation 627. The in-game footage shows a playable character infiltrating a building (which appears to be some sort of prison) and sneaking around using night vision, taking enemies out stealthily as they go. After setting off a decoy explosion, they then launch a full assault on their unsuspecting enemies.
Modern Warfare 3 (2023)is a direct sequel toModern Warfare 2 (2022)- its campaign will kick off immediately after the events of the 2022 game’s story. However, players can expect changes to the way that some campaign missions work, thanks to the addition of ‘open combat missions’. These will give players more choice over how they approach their quests, with some giving the option to go in stealthily or aggressively.
It was also previously announced thatCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 3will include all 16 launch maps from the originalModern Warfare 2 (2009)from day one, which is sure to be exciting for veteran fans of the series. It will be getting some totally new maps too - over 12 of them, in fact - but these will be added to the game in post-launch seasons.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (2023)is set to release on November 10, and those who’ve already poured loads of their free time into 2022’sModern Warfare 2will be pleased to know that they’ll be able to carry forward all of theirpreviously-unlocked multiplayer weapons. What a win.
