Players will have access to all of their favoriteCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 3weapons in multiplayer and Zombies, but there are notable differences that may affect weapon choices and overall gameplay.
Modern Warfare 3releases on November 10, but those who pre-ordered the latestCall of Dutytitle may play and complete the campaign before launch. TheModern Warfare 3campaign offers enticing rewardsfor the multiplayer component launching next week, including weapon blueprints, double XP tokens, and calling cards. Alongside these campaign rewards,Modern Warfare 3players will have access to a slew of new and returning weapons in their loadouts.
Activision’s newCall of Dutyblog postdetails whatModern Warfare 3players can expect in their loadouts for multiplayer and Zombies with an in-depth overview. Similarly to what was shown intheModern Warfare 3open beta, the weapons menu allows players to save up to 10 customized loadouts for multiplayer. The loadout menu is nearly identical to the one fromModern Warfare 2, but players now have to consider the type of vest they will use in multiplayer matches. Vests determine the number of equipment pieces that may be carried in multiplayer matches, and each vest offers a specific set of perk-like skills inModern Warfare 3. Sledgehammer Games suggestsModern Warfare 3players to choose a vest that synergizes with their weapons, equipment, and overall play style.
The latest blog post also recaps a full list of equipment forModern Warfare 3, including many that were available in the open beta.Modern Warfare 3grants access to the same weapons in multiplayer and Zombies for loadouts, but certain equipment is accessed differently in Zombies. For example,Modern Warfare 3’sZombies modeuses a different perk and field upgrade system, and vests will not appear as an equipment option in this particular mode. Certain lethal items, tactical items, and killstreaks will be accessible in both multiplayer and Zombies as well.
AlthoughModern Warfare 3’scampaign has been heavily scruntizedby fans and critics alike, the multiplayer component appears to be rich with options that the community wanted since the launch ofModern Warfare 2in 2022. Vests bring a new dynamic to loadouts since it influences the equipment and weapons that players may choose, and post-launch updates will add more vests over time. Overall player reception toModern Warfare 3’sloadouts and vests remains to be seen, however.
