Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 pre-order guide
polygon.comJust in time for the 20th anniversary of the Call of Duty franchise, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is headed to PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, and on PCs via Battle.net and Steam on Nov. 10.
The multiplayer for Modern Warfare 3 will include all 16 launch maps from the 2009 version of Modern Warfare 2, which have been modernized to accommodate the new mechanics that have been introduced to the series over the past 13 years. Series antagonist Makarov is coming back to the blockbuster single-player campaign, and a new Zombies mode is coming, too.
It’s not all old hat, though. Modern Warfare 3 is introducing some new wrinkles to its already excellent gunplay with a feature called Tac-Stance, which bridges the gap between shooting from the hip and aiming down the sights, giving you improved handling and mobility with your weapons.
You’ll also have even greater freedom with weapon customization thanks to the introduction of the Aftermarket Parts feature, which allows you to drastically alter the archetype of your favorite weapons. Some examples we’ve seen thus far include a pistol that can be converted into a fully automatic carbine, and an LMG that can be condensed into a bullpup configuration, effectively turning them into entirely new weapons.
Like other recent entries in the Call of Duty franchise, a multiplayer open beta is planned for Modern Warfare 3 ahead of the official launch. Two open betas are coming, with the first being exclusive to PlayStation consoles. The second will be playable on all platforms. The open beta is free to play, but reserving a copy for any platform in advance will grant you early access, allowing you to play up to two days early.
