Summary
According to recent leaks,Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3may feature a crossover with 2014’sAdvanced Warfare.Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3is set to launch on November 10, bringing with it 16 multiplayer maps that were all taken from the 2009Modern Warfare 2game.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3’s big theme is that it’s carrying over content from previousCall of Dutygames. Joining the maps from the 2009MW2game are almostall the cosmetics and unlocks from the 2022Modern Warfare 2game. Leakers believe that this theme will continue inModern Warfare 3’s post-launch seasons, with each season apparently themed after a classicCall of Dutygame and introducing content from those games.
It’s been claimed that one of the games to be featured inModern Warfare 3’s post-launch seasons will be 2014’sCall of Duty: Advanced Warfare.Advanced Warfarewas the firstCall of Dutygame developed by Sledgehammer Games, the lead studio onModern Warfare 3, so it makes sense to give it the spotlight inMW3if the rumors about its seasonal content are true. According to the leaks,Advanced Warfarefans can look forward to popular guns from that game making their way intoMW3, with the ASM1, BAL27, EM1, and MORS specifically mentioned.
Advanced Warfareis an interesting entry in theCall of Dutyfranchise. At the time of its release, it was generally received as a step-up from the divisiveCall of Duty: Ghosts, though many fans blame it for starting the trend ofCall of Dutygames embracing futuristic, sci-fi elements instead of the boots-on-the-ground gameplay that made the series popular in the first place. Things likeAdvanced Warfare’s Exo Suitswould go on to influenceCall of Dutygameplay for years to come untilCall of Duty: WW2took the franchise back to its roots, a move solidified by the 2019Modern Warfarereboot.
Assuming the leaks are true, other classicCall of Dutygames could be getting the spotlight as part ofModern Warfare 3’s post-launch seasons, not justAdvanced Warfare. AssumingMW3seasons are as long as previousCall of Dutygames, fans can expect about six of them to take place between the game’s launch and the release of the2024Call of Dutygame. It remains to be seen which sixCall of Dutytitles will get the honors, but if the rumors are to be believed,Advanced Warfarewill be one of them.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3launches November 10 for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
