For players who wish to have a challenging experience with a fast time-to-kill, Hardcore mode is now the best choice.
3Map Voting
One of the core elements of allCall of Dutyentries is the possibility of players in each lobby to vote for which map they wished to play in. This was not present in eitherVanguardorModern Warfare 2(2022), which left many fans confused, often leaving players joining new lobbies only to be met with the same map they did not want to play in.
Despite thefact that this feature and many other marketed features ofModern Warfare 3(2023) are prerequisites within the franchise, its return is pleasing to see and will certainly help in the aspect of positive feedback. While it does not change the game’s fundamentals in the aspect of gameplay, it stands as an extra layer of player freedom that fans have been calling for.
Despiteplayers finding ways to use these mechanics through particular maneuvers inModern Warfare 2(2022), anticipation toward its official addition has been widespread. Players having the ability to cancel certain animations and actions is incredibly important in the heat of gun battles, and developers ensuring that both reload and slide canceling are present inModern Warfare 3(2023) will help players in a variety of encounters.

The time between sliding and aiming down sights can be the difference between survival and execution in everyCall of Dutytitle, and giving players an advantage in this region, on top of the presence of weapon attachments, will stand as a pivotal change. As this can always be tweaked and adjusted through each season by developers, they must avoid making these features less effective, which may also depend on weapon balancing and how effective certain weapon attachments are.
1Zombies
After long-running rumors starting from the mode potentially coming toModern Warfare 2(2022), Zombies will finally be making its first appearance in theModern Warfareseries. With the suspected help of Treyarch developers, players will be taking part in a big open-world map with hordes of zombies that will increase in strength within each region.
Somewhatreminiscent of the previous DMZ mode, Zombies on this occasion appears to be taking a unique approach as opposed to the usual round-based modes fans are familiar with. While some fans may not necessarily be in favor of this, there is no doubt that along the way through multiple updates and seasons, developers will look to implement both new and classic modes for fans to enjoy, while ensuring that the familiar Zombies experience is still present and at the forefront of each mode. With references, easter eggs, maps, and much more, Sledgehammer could truly provide the best Zombies mode the franchise has ever seen.
Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3(2023) is set to release November 10th, 2023 on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and PC.
