Of all the Call of Duty games on this list, the most likely candidate—and the one that arguably deserves a remaster the most—is Modern Warfare 3 . With Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare receiving a full remaster across all major modes, along with a roster of new and original content, and Modern Warfare 2 getting a remastered Campaign, Miramar Map Strategies it’s only fitting that the original trilogy gets a much-needed upgrade for the next generation of hardw
The latest update appears to raise the viability of SMGs in the Modern Warfare 3 meta , since the Striker, AMR9, and Striker 9 received notable changes. The Striker SMG’s maximum damage range has been increased from just 9 m to 19 m, which is a 114% increase. Near-medium and far-medium damage for the Striker was also increased, and the Striker’s aim down sights (ADS) time was reduced to 230ms. The Striker 9 also received a reduction in ADS timing, but the SMG’s maximum damage was decreased by 16%. Slight adjustments to the AMR9 brought its damage multipliers up to 1.1x, and its sprint to fire time was reduced by 30% to 206ms. Overall, these SMGs should feel more responsive and consistent in the meta going forw
Sledgehammer and Treyarch posted the detailed patch notes for Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone on the official Call of Duty site . Though the separate February 21 patch note pages for Modern Warfare 3 Season 2 and Warzone Season 2 contained adjustments specific to their modes, both included notes from Ricochet Anti-Cheat, the anti-cheating platform employed throughout the Call of Duty franchise. Ricochet Anti-Cheat was launched in 2021 for Call of Duty: Vanguard and Warzo
Call of Duty has largely moved away from the World War II setting, especially after Call of Duty: Vanguard received a mixed reception. However, with many of Vanguard’s issues stemming from its core gameplay elements and a clear avoidance of overall realism, it may be time for Activision to test the waters with another World War II shooter. And what better way to do so than by remastering one of the most acclaimed WWII-era Call of Duty tit
The highlight of this balance pass is a reduction to the lethality of the FR 5.56 and DG-58. Both Weapons will now require two headshots to kill an enemy with a single 3-round burst fire. Additionally, these changes aim to improve the consistency and viability of Submachine Guns to the intended target for the cl
The JAK Voltstorm is a lethal weapon in Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone , capable of eliminating unarmored opponents with just a single shot . It’s also entirely possible to eliminate multiple players in one shot, provided they are grouped closely together. Much like the regular variant of the Stormender, players will need to charge up the JAK Voltstorm by holding the Fire button , releasing it to fire off a high-powered shot. The JAK Voltstorm is only effective up close, and its damage range doesn’t extend into the medium range. Because of this, the weapon is pretty much useless in Warzone , and players are better off using a solid Shotg
Like previous Call of Duty games, Modern Warfare 3 receives weekly updates that rotate playlists and brings balance changes. Modern Warfare 3’s November 16 playlist update brought multiple maps from 2022’s Modern Warfare 2 , and a new Experimental Playlist lets players try out new features that Sledgehammer Games has been developing, such as a colored outline for enemy combatants in multiplayer. The following day, Sledgehammer Games released a subsequent update that reduced the delay for sprinting after a slide, making overall player movement feel more responsive in Modern Warfare 3 . In a Reddit AMA held on November 20, the developers revealed even more changes for Modern Warfare 3 arriving in the coming we
Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone’s The Haunting Season 6 have cranked up the spooky factor of both games, seeing the debut of the long-awaited Zombie Royale game mode for Battle Royale, along with a plethora of scarily good content inside the Battle Pass. Though players may still be grinding to unlock everything the Battle Pass has to offer, such as the now meta DTIR 30-06 Battle Rifle , Week 4 of Modern Warfare 3 sees the arrival of yet another Aftermarket Part to unl
The JAK Voltstorm is an Aftermarket Part available for the Stormender , one of Modern Warfare 3’s small roster of Launchers. While the Stormender is only really useful for taking down Killstreaks, the JAK Voltstorm turns the weapon into a lethal tool for disposing of Operators at close range. While the weapon itself cannot be customized, meaning that players will be unable to create a meta loadout for it, it can still be a fun gimmicky weapon to use inside of Modern Warfare 3 and Warzo
With a huge competitive community even the smallest updates to Modern Warfare 3 draw great attention. It often seems like every player has their own idea of how to improve the game. And when it comes to calls to address concerns about overpowered Modern Warfare 3 gear , the pressure for the team to swing one way or another in the name of “balance” can seem overwhelm
