There are three certainties in life, death, taxes and a yearly Call of Duty game. This year, Activision is gracing us with its reboot of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, just in time for Christmas. The game is set to release on November 10 and is reintroducing a heap of features from the original Modern Warfare series that fans have been dying to see.
We don’t need to explain the world’s biggest first-person shooter franchise to you, but the latest Call of Duty instalment is going back to its roots this year.
Firstly, Activision is bringing back the old red dot mini-map which was removed in last year’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. So you can finally go back to looking for actively firing opponents via the mini-map. We’ll also see the return of the slide-cancelling mechanic which is often used by high-level players for increasing mobility.
As for game modes and maps, Modern Warfare 3 will feature a new “Open Combat Mission” (OCM) game mode within the new campaign, which lets the player decide how they would like to complete the mission. We’re also getting all the original Modern Warfare 2 maps from the 2009 game.
But really, the most exciting part of the new Call of Duty is the return of the PvE “Zombies” game mode. We can’t wait to get our hands on some Perk-a-Cola.
