Sequel to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 released in 2022 and the third entry in the rebooted Modern Warfare series, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is the twentieth and latest installment in the Call of Duty series.

The game features many rotating game modes such as Domination, Search and Destroy, Team Deathmatch, Hardpoint, and Kill Confirmed, some of which are carried over from previous games in the series. Modern Warfare 3's campaign storyline is also a direct continuation of where Modern Warfare 2 ended.

CoD’s wildly popular Battle Royale, Warzone is also seamlessly integrated into the game, with all the unlocks shared across both MW3 and Warzone. Modern Warfare III reintroduces the PvE mode known as MW3 Zombies, developed by Treyarch. This mode shares similarities with the popular DMZ mode in Warzone 2.0.

While MW3 is the latest game in the series, it won’t be long as the developers are gearing up for the next release in the franchise, Black Ops 6 which is set for its full reveal on June 9, 2024, at the Xbox games showcase. Developed by Treyarch, the game should dive deeper into the dark, psychological warfare that has defined the Black Ops series and given Treyarch’s reputation of pushing the boundaries of the game.

Black Ops 6 is rumored to be returning to its Cold War setting, set to be during the Gulf War era during the early 1990s. With the anticipation for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 keeping the excitement among fans alive, the engaging storyline, gameplay mechanics, dynamic multiplayer modes, and the reintroduction of Zombies has made MW3 one of the most successful in the series.
