The company clarifies, however, that 12 brand new maps (for 6 vs. 6 modes) will be added in future seasons.
Regarding the gameplay, Sledgehammer Games echoed the criticism against the previous game and has introduced notable changes. For example, returns the Slide Cancel and the Reload Cancel, with which you can move with greater agility. On the other hand, default health will be 150 —50 more than in MW2—. Consequently, the time to kill It will be higher so you don’t feel like you’re dying absurdly fast.
Another feature to highlight is that all perksno matter which ones you have selected, will be active from the beginning of the game. In addition, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 will offer a new system of advantages of equipment. To end: the classic mini map is back.
The most ambitious zombie mode to date
It will be the first time that the saga Modern Warfare include a zombie mode. In fact, its development is carried out by Treyarchthe study that devised this experience in black ops. But be careful, because we are facing his most ambitious proposal.
zombie mode Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 bet on a fairly large map—apparently the new one from Warzone— where several squadrons can coexist at the same time. They will all have a single mission: survive multiple waves of the undead.
Of course, the squads will be able to ally to fight together against the endless zombies. Also, to make everything more entertaining and make sense, the modality will have a own story that will develop as the waves pass.
“For the first time, team up with other squads to survive and fight huge hordes of the undead on the largest map of Call of Duty Zombies. Modern Warfare Zombies tells a new Treyarch story with quests, basic features you already know, and several secrets to discover.”
