Attention, PlayStation players! Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III releases on Friday, November 10. Get intel on some of the features coming to Modern Warfare III and learn more about every available game edition on PlayStation, plus preorder benefits you’ll earn between now and the game’s launch.

Campaign

Adapt or die in a fight against the ultimate threat. In the direct sequel to the record-breaking Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II, Captain Price and Task Force 141 face off against the ultimate threat. The ultranationalist Vladimir Makarov is extending his grasp across the world causing Task Force 141 to fight like never before.

Open Combat Missions

Combat means making choices. In addition to signature, cinematic Call of Duty campaign missions, Modern Warfare III introduces Open Combat Missions that provide more player choice than ever before.

Utilize night-vision goggles and silenced weaponry for a covert approach or enhance your protection with additional armor plates and engage the targets directly. The expansive mission environment offers you the freedom to tackle your objective from multiple angles. Play how you want, and Open Combat Missions will support it.

Multiplayer

It’s time to settle old scores and start new ones. Modern Warfare III celebrates the 20th anniversary of Call of Duty with one of the greatest collections of Modern Warfare Multiplayer maps ever assembled – both fan favorites and all new ones. All 16 launch maps from the original Modern Warfare 2 (2009) have been modernized with new modes and gameplay features and will be available at launch to get everyone started, while over 12 all-new core 6v6 maps will fuel post-launch live seasons.

Afghan. Derail. Estate. Favela. Karachi. Highrise. Invasion. Quarry. Rundown. Rust. Scrapyard. Skidrow. Sub Base. Terminal. Underpass. Wasteland. All on Day One!

The maps will keep their authenticity intact while infusing the latest tech, gameplay, modes, content, and more, including Cutthroat, a new thrilling 3v3v3 mode.

Ground War and War Modes return

Modern Warfare III will also launch with new Ground War maps boasting innovative play spaces and the epic return and evolution of the popular War Mode that first debuted in 2017’s Call of Duty: WWII. These are composed of three brand-new Battle Maps — large scale locations where Modern Warfare III’s Ground War and Invasion game modes will be fought —, and a single, colossal War map.

Tac-Stance

Breach and clear with the new Tactical Stance feature, a perfect middle-ground between hip-fire and aiming down sights: Coming to Modern Warfare III Tactical Stance provides the perfect middle-ground between mobility and accuracy. Here’s what to expect from Tac-Stance:

·   Dynamically enter the position as you want.

·   You can fire in Tac-Stance while Sliding.

·   Designed for aggressive, close-quarter combat situations.

Evolving loadouts

With Modern Warfare III comes new levels of customization to Create-a-Class. Get ready to build your loadout based on cutting-edge military helmets, gloves, tactical vests, boots and more, allowing you to customize more aspects of gameplay.

Carry Forward

A vast amount of content and weapon progression from Modern Warfare II will come with you to Modern Warfare III. That means every Multiplayer weapon you currently have in your MWII arsenal, along with all the new weapons available in Modern Warfare III, will be accessible to use on Day One.

Open-world Zombies

For the first time, team up with other squads to survive and fight massive hordes of the undead in the largest Call of Duty Zombies map ever.
