Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III gameplay trailer revealed ahead of November 10 release

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III just got a gameplay reveal trailer, a slightly misleading title given most of the footage is loaded with cinematics. It is focused on the campaign, which sees Captain Price and his Task Force 141 take on the Russian ultranationalist war criminal Vladimir Makarov as he extends his grasp across the world.

Publisher Activision has introduced a new non-linear campaign structure called Open Combat Missions, memorable multiplayer maps, and a Zombies mode set in an open world. Pre-orders for the game are now live across all major platforms.

A Nostalgic Reminder

In what began as a trilogy of soft reboots, the new Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 trailer evokes memories of the Hunter Killer mission from the original 2011 title. While much of the action is presented stealthily, Activision stresses that there will be a level of freedom in how you decide to tackle a mission.

Freedom for Experimentation

In addition to the signature linear structure COD games are notorious for, this new iteration introduces Open Combat Missions which makes use of open-ended spaces to let players decide if they want to take a stealthy approach or go in guns blazing.

There's more freedom for experimentation here - akin to a sandbox - as players can replay missions with a new approach or loadout. The campaign will adapt and support however players want to play it.

New Features & Modes

The game even carries over some choice-based dialogue options from previous entries but branches it out even further, reacting to player decisions. The multiplayer segment brings back 16 modernized maps from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 alongside more large-scale areas such as a colossal War map.

The beloved Zombies mode also returns with an extended scope that throws players into an open world environment teeming with escalating difficulty zombies. Other new features include the ability to cancel sliding and content carryover from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III Release Date

The release date for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III is November 10 across PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series S/X. Pre-orders grant early access to the open beta and the ability to play the campaign up to a week early.
