Highlights
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 will introduce Kate Laswell as a playable multiplayer operator, marking her first appearance as a playable character if the leak is true.
It is unclear if Laswell will be included at launch or introduced in a later season, similar to previously featured campaign characters Alejandro, Valeria, and Graves.
Fans are eager to have iconic characters like Captain Price and Ghost as playable characters in their own campaign missions for the final installment of the Modern Warfare reboot trilogy. The complete lineup of playable characters in both the campaign and multiplayer modes is still unknown.
In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, players can expect the exciting addition of Kate Laswell as a playable character in the game's multiplayer suite. Set to release on November 10th, this installment of the Call of Duty franchise introduces Zombies to the Modern Warfare subseries, along with intense campaign missions and a wide selection of classic multiplayer maps from Modern Warfare 2. Following a trend in the Modern Warfare reboot games, popular campaign characters have been made available for multiplayer gameplay a few months after the game's launch. In the past, characters like Alejandro Vargas and Valeria Garza from Modern Warfare 2's campaign were introduced as playable operators in Season 3. Recently, Commander Phillip Graves, an antagonist from the Modern Warfare 2 campaign and the leader of Shadow Company, has also made a comeback in multiplayer.
With less than a month until the release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, information has surfaced regarding the game's new multiplayer operators. The Task Force Leakers Network on Twitter brought attention to an account named "Task Force Leakers Network" who disclosed that Kate Laswell, a prominent character in the 2019 reboot of Modern Warfare and its sequel from last year, will be a playable multiplayer operator in Modern Warfare 3. If this leak is true, it would mark the first time Laswell is playable as a new character in the Call of Duty series.
While it is unknown at this time, it will be intriguing to discover whether Laswell will be available as a launch operator in Modern Warfare 3 or if she will be introduced in a later season, similar to Alejandro, Valeria, and Graves. Additionally, it raises curiosity as to whether players will have the opportunity to control Laswell during one or two campaign missions. In Modern Warfare 2's campaign, Laswell became more involved in field operations alongside Price, Ghost, and others, making it a logical progression for her character to have her own campaign missions. However, it is important to note that Alejandro, Graves, and Valeria were not playable in Modern Warfare 2's campaign, suggesting that while Laswell may have a significant role, it is still unlikely for her to be playable in the campaign.
It's highly likely that popular characters from Modern Warfare like Captain Price, Ghost, and Soap will be available to play in the multiplayer mode of Modern Warfare 3 upon its release. However, as this is the third and potentially final installment in the Modern Warfare reboot trilogy, it would be gratifying for many fans to have the opportunity to play as Price and Ghost in their own campaign missions. In the previous Modern Warfare games, neither of these iconic characters were playable in the traditional sense. Fans will have to wait less than a month to discover which other characters they can control in the campaign and multiplayer modes of Modern Warfare 3. Modern Warfare 3 will be available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S starting from November 10.
