Modern Warfare 3 the new shooter in the Call Of Duty series

More than ten years have already passed since this video game made its appearance on the real and virtual shelves of our country. A period that could

be interminable for other games but not for Modern Warfare 3 which, 11 years after its release, still remains terribly relevant.

Released in November 2011 by Infinity Ward and Sledgehammer, Modern Warfare 3 is the third and final episode of the Modern Warfare saga, a spin-off of the even more successful and famous Call of Duty series.

Title developed immediately after the release of the previous issue, it had a troubled gestation, especially due to a legal dispute between Activision and the two former co-executives of Infinity Ward. The result was a video game developed in parallel but without too much interaction between the parts, with Infinity Ward itself creating all the development for the single player part and Raven Software managing the multiplayer part instead.

The Modern Warfare 3 timetable

As already indicated, the first rumors about the development of the third episode began immediately after the previous one. The project then became reality on the night of May 23, 2011. On that date, the first official trailer of the game was made available.

A wait that continued over time with ever greater expectation and attention, also thanks to some truly well-made advertising posters. The game was then officially released in shops and in the stores of enabled consoles on 8 November 2011.

Game progress

Modern Warfare is set after the events of the second chapter which saw Russia launch a nuclear attack against the United States of America. Obviously, the player, who during the various missions plays two different characters, counteracts this "state of emergency".

On one side, the head of the US Navy's special forces, Lieutenant Simon "Ghost" Riley. On the other hand, US Army Sergeant Sandman.

Two personalities with different abilities, roles and weapons whose goal is the same, to stop the Russian invasion and save the world from destruction.

Weapons and equipment in this new shooter

One of the reasons for the success and appreciation from players certainly lies in the vast range of weapons and equipment available in the game . In Modern Warfare 3 we can find a real arsenal of weapons to draw from, from personal weapons to assault rifles, from machine guns to grenade launchers, in a catalog of weapons and options that will delight even the most informed and passionate player. Each weapon then faithfully replicates the characteristics of its "real" counterpart and is accompanied by statistics that will make the "nerd" within each player happy.

All weapons can then be customized with various accessories, from optics to sights, without obviously forgetting the silencers.

Game modes featured in Modern Warfare 3

Modern Warfare 3 offers a wide range of game modes for the player to indulge in. Here are some of the most popular and most chosen modes by players worldwide:

Campaign Mode: The game 's main mode. In it, players can play following the game 's storyline and complete a series of challenging missions.

Multiplayer Mode: This game mode allows players to play against other players online with a good choice of modes and maps. Some of the most popular multiplayer game modes include Team Deathmatch, Objective, Capture the Flag, and Domination.

Spec Ops Mode: A cooperative mode where players can play together in a real special team, to complete a series of missions and challenges.

Survival Mode: The classic survival mode, in which the player must defend himself from waves of enemies in a specific map.

Prestige Mode: A progression system that allows players to level up and unlock new weapons and equipment after completing all available levels. It can be considered as an equivalent of the career mode present in many sports games.

Free-for-All mode: a game mode where all players are against everyone, a real "Royal Rumble" where the player with the highest score at the end of the game wins.

Each of these game modes, including those not listed on this list, offers an experience defined by a wide range of players as exciting and engaging.

Differences between Modern Warfare 3 and Call of Duty

Modern Warfare 3 is a game in the Call of Duty series, but it cannot be considered a sequel to the same, given that there are some important differences between the two.

Call of Duty is in fact a series of first-person shooter games developed by several development studios, including Infinity Ward, Treyarch, Sledgehammer Games and Raven Software. The series has a wide range of games, each with its own plot, characters, weapons and game modes without any connection between them.

The Modern Warfare series on the other hand, although following a game line similar to that of Call of Duty, unlike the same, presents a "line", a logical thread that unravels between the three episodes of the game and which leaves room for new additions.

We therefore find some similarities such as the progression system and competitive multiplayer, but also many important differences between these two titles.

Feedback

Ten years is a very long time and allows you to obtain different types of feedback. From the enthusiasts who "devoured" the game upon its release to the more methodical ones, who waited for discounts or simply discovered it later.

A long period of time and users who however share feedback on the product.

Modern Warfare 3 has received great praise. In particular:

Modern Warfare 3's single player mode is still considered one of the most exciting and engaging ever seen in the series.

Other things that were particularly appreciated is the good variety of maps, the game modes and the high customization. In particular, the wide choice of weapons and the fact that some of them were unlockable only after completing some specific levels were really appreciated.

Modern Warfare 3 was a huge commercial success, as it sold over 6.5 million copies on its first day of launch. Success repeated throughout the year as it was the best-selling game of 2011. Critics also appreciated the game, sharing the feedback from fans.

In conclusion, Modern Warfare 3 is one of the best first-person shooters available on the market, an exciting and engaging game for both single and multiplayer players. With an intense storyline, a wide range of weapons and equipment and an exciting multiplayer mode, this game is definitely a must for shooter fans.
