In a surprising turn of events, the popular multiplayer Call of Duty games are poised to take center stage once again as the developers shift their emphasis away from the battle royale sensation, Warzone. For the first time in years, the franchise redirects its live-service features towards the core annual releases in 2023.
Season 2 of Modern Warfare 3 introduces exciting new features
Sledgehammer Games, the developer behind Modern Warfare 3, is gearing up to unleash Season 2 with extensive content. In an official announcement, the developers have revealed their plans to inject a massive influx of maps into the respective playlists, which include Core, War, and Ground War. Additionally, players can anticipate the introduction of new weapons and exciting game modes.
One of the most notable surprises for the Call of Duty community is the resurgence of a beloved game mode from 2018, Hordepoint. This zombies-multiplayer hybrid mode was initially introduced during the Call of Duty WWII era but has now been resurrected for Modern Warfare 3.
Hordepoint marks a unique departure from the traditional round-based undead content found in the Zombies mode. In this game mode, players will engage in their customary 6v6 Hardpoint matches, focusing on shooting down opponents and securing objectives. However, the twist lies in the relentless onslaught of Zombies, who spawn within the objective area, creating an added layer of chaos and tension for players as they strive to both fend off the undead and outplay their human rivals.
Hordepoint: A thrilling fusion of Zombies and multiplayer
Hordepoint is set to become a standout feature in Modern Warfare 3, offering players an exhilarating fusion of Zombies and multiplayer action. The game mode will be accessible through the Modern Warfare 3 playlists, making it more accessible to a broader player base.
In Hordepoint, players will engage in standard 6v6 Hardpoint matches, where the primary objective is to capture and hold designated areas to score points. What sets Hordepoint apart is the constant threat posed by the undead. Zombies will continuously spawn within the objective area, forcing players to juggle the dual challenges of eliminating their human adversaries and evading the relentless zombie horde.
The surprises don’t stop there, as Warzone’s renowned Resurgence map, Fortune’s Keep, is set to undergo a spine-tingling transformation. This iconic location will now serve as a playground for the undead, further blurring the lines between Call of Duty’s various branches.
With the inclusion of Fortune’s Keep as a zombie-infested battleground, it appears that all three facets of the Call of Duty franchise—core annual releases, Modern Warfare 3, and Warzone—could potentially unite to create an expansive and action-packed Hordepoint experience.
