Modern Warfare 3 players are expressing disappointment and frustration with a recent update to the game's Zombies mode, which significantly reduced the number of zombies in hordes. Players argue that the update has made the mode boring and less challenging, as the once intense exfil moments now lack the thrill of a zombie invasion. Some players suggest alternative ways to improve stability without nerfing the zombies, such as reducing the number of players in the server. It remains to be seen if the developers will address the backlash and explore other options to enhance gameplay.
Players of Modern Warfare 3 are divided on the new Zombies mode, Operation Deadbolt, which features a larger map and objective-based challenges. While some players appreciate the changes, others criticize the lack of story and find the mode boring and trash. Popular Zombies content creator NoahJ456 expressed disappointment, sparking a community debate. Despite the mixed reception, some players are still utilizing the mode to complete Armory challenges.
Players anticipating the Zombies Mode in the new Call of Duty game were surprised to find a PDF file listing the names of individuals who purchased the game instead. The unorthodox strategy is believed to be a result of market research indicating the fanbase's loyalty and willingness to invest in each new installment. Many players feel betrayed and disappointed, but some admit they would have still bought the game regardless. The contentious PDF file specifically highlights those who pre-ordered the game, sparking further speculation and debate in gaming forums and social media platforms.
MW3 players have discovered an exploit in the Zombies mode that allows them to skip the grind of unlocking weapons in the Armory and completing daily challenges. By playing the Zombies mode and extracting with weapons and equipment that are not yet unlocked in multiplayer, players can permanently unlock them. This exploit also works for level-gated unlocks outside of the Armory. It is unclear if this was intended by the developers, so players are advised to take advantage of it while it lasts.
Call of Duty's upcoming Modern Warfare 3 game will feature a new Zombies mode set in the modern era, where the undead are used as a bioterrorism threat. Players will join Task Force 141 in an open-world, PvE survival experience to contain the zombie outbreak. The mode continues the Dark Aether narrative from previous Call of Duty games and introduces new characters and gameplay elements. Modern Warfare 3 will be released on November 10 for multiple platforms.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 will be the first game in the Modern Warfare series to feature a Zombies mode, as confirmed through a secret mobile number discovered by fans. Texting the word "zombies" to the number revealed a zombie emoji and a link to a zombie audio file on Activision's website. Additionally, the same number confirmed the return of classic Modern Warfare 2 maps in Modern Warfare 3. The inclusion of these maps, such as Terminal and Rust, is expected to please fans who consider them among the best in the franchise. The game's in-Warzone reveal event is set for August 17, with the release date scheduled for November 10.
