Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III Reverses Course on MWII, and Fans Seem Just Fine With That
Call of Duty fans are talking about Modern Warfare 2 — not to be confused with the game under the same title from 2009 — following yesterday's reveal of Modern Warfare 3. Last year's entry in the long-running annual franchise made a lot of changes that angered fans. In fact, these changes drew so much heat from the community that Sledgehammer is completely walking many of them back for Modern Warfare 3, which is set to release on November 10th.
Changes included gameplay-level overhauls to the shooter's movement systems, minimap, player health, and perk systems. MW2 also removed players' ability to vote on maps in-between multiplayer matches. Call of Duty's success is partially thanks to its consistency, so needless to say, Infinity Ward's fixing-what's-not-broken approach drew widespread ire from the game's player base.
In tandem with the reveal, Call of Duty's official Twitter account released a thread detailing what fans can expect from the series' 19th annual entry. After addressing MW3's campaign and zombies offerings, the account confirmed what fans had been hoping for, announcing that it would be walking back many of the changes introduced in Modern Warfare 2.
