After a lengthy wait and a multitude of leaks, Activision unveiled tie highly anticipated Call of Duty game. Dubbed ‘Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3,’ the title was a direct sequel to previous instalment and hit consoles and PC on November 10, 2021.
To reveal the game, developer Sledgehammer Games dropped a mysterious teaser trailer titled “Modern Warfare 3 is Coming“, with a warning that reads “the ultimate threat awaits.” While the trailer showed almost nothing gameplay-wise, we did hear the now-iconic voice of Modern Warfare‘s rugged hero Captain John Price, cautioning against the idea of burying one’s enemies alive.
Shortly thereafter, the teaser showcased what appears to be a stylized waveform image of Vladimir Makarov’s face, who’s the main big baddie in the Modern Warfare franchise. The game in the rebooted Modern Warfare series picked up the pieces from where the previous game left us hanging. The post-credits of Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 gave us a glimpse of a Russian terrorist group plotting to take control of a commercial flight.
We also hear Makarov warning his agents with the phrase, “No Russian,” which is of course a nod to the infamous mission of the same name from 2009’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Back in February, Jason Schreier from Bloomberg spilled the beans that the game was initially meant to be a “premium expansion” for Modern Warfare 2 but was later transformed into a full-blown game.
