Modern Warfare 3

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III, launched in 2023, is a video game where you play as a soldier shooting in a realistic, modern world. It was made by Sledgehammer Games and published by Activision. This game is a follow-up to Modern Warfare II (2022) and is part of the larger Call of Duty series. You can play it on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S from November 10, 2023.

In the game, you join Task Force 141, a special unit from different countries, and try to stop a bad guy named Vladimir Makarov who wants to start a third World War. The multiplayer part of the game has sixteen old maps from Modern Warfare 2 (2009), and they're planning to add more new maps later. There's also a new Zombies mode, where you and others fight against computer-controlled enemies in an open world.

Originally meant to be an addition to Modern Warfare II, Sledgehammer Games turned it into its own game after working on Call of Duty: Vanguard (2021). They officially showed the game in August 2023 after some leaks and let people try it out in October. When it came out, Modern Warfare III got mixed reviews, especially for its story mode.

The Call of Duty video game series, first released in 2003 by Activision, has changed a lot over the years. It started with games about World War II but later switched to more modern settings with Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare in 2007. This marked the beginning of the Modern Warfare sub-series.

Different game studios, like Infinity Ward, Treyarch, and Sledgehammer Games, have contributed to the series. Treyarch made World at War in 2008 and introduced the Black Ops sub-series in 2010. Sledgehammer Games added titles like Advanced Warfare in 2014 and Call of Duty: WWII in 2017. The series recently rebooted Modern Warfare and released the latest game, Modern Warfare III, in 2023.

Call of Duty is super popular, selling over 400 million copies by April 2021, making it the best-selling first-person shooter game series according to Guinness World Records.
