The classic mini-map feature in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 will display enemies as red dots when they shoot their weapons. This feature, which was leaked earlier, has now been confirmed by Activision. The game is the latest installment in the Modern Warfare subseries and follows the events of Modern Warfare 2. A trailer featuring Makarov and gameplay footage has been released by Activision. Along with the return of the popular slide cancel feature, another beloved fan-favorite feature has also been confirmed to make a comeback.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 will reintroduce the red-dot mini map feature, which was previously removed in the 2019 reboot and last year's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Fans have speculated that the controversial "No Russian" mission from the 2009 game may appear in the upcoming Modern Warfare 3. This speculation is based on imagery shown in the recent Makarov reveal trailer, suggesting his presence in Verdansk from Warzone 1. Additionally, a post-credit scene in the 2022 Modern Warfare 2 hinted at the "No Russian" mission, depicting a group of terrorists attempting to hijack a plane, potentially linked to the events in Verdansk.
Modern Warfare 3 will have notable distinctions from the original MW3 as General Shepherd and Makarov are both alive. Additionally, Phillip Graves, presumed dead in Modern Warfare 2, has recently reemerged in Warzone Season 5. This implies that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 may feature three antagonists. Furthermore, Graves will play a pivotal role in the unveiling event scheduled for August 17, 2023, in Call of Duty: Warzone. This event will serve as a prelude to Modern Warfare 3.
The release date for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is set for November 10 and will be available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
