Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (MW3) has undeniably carved its place in the hearts of many gamers, despite the rocky start it faced upon release. With the franchise’s ever-growing fan base, questions persist about its true nature – is it a standalone game, an expansion, or perhaps DLC for Modern Warfare 2 (MW2)? In this guide, we aim to clear up the confusion surrounding MW3’s launch and clarify its connection to the 2022 CoD: Modern Warfare 2 reboot.
Is MW2 Required to Play MW3?
Contrary to early speculation, Modern Warfare 3 is a standalone game. It does not require ownership or purchase of Modern Warfare 2. The 2023 MW3 version is sold separately at full price of $70 and is not considered an expansion of the 2022 MW2 reboot. Activision, the game’s publisher, stands firm in categorizing MW3 as a AAA game and has committed to providing long-term support and extensive updates for the title.
Dealing with Controversy:
The confusion surrounding MW3’s release stemmed from criticism, often comparing it to the MW2 DLC due to its unexpectedly short campaign and perceived lack of fresh content. Despite these concerns, the distinctive nature of the game is clear, and Activision’s commitment to continued support shows a determination to address player feedback.
Should MW2 Owners Still Pay for MW3?
For MW2 owners, purchasing Modern Warfare 3 is a separate transaction. Ownership of one title does not grant automatic access to the others. However, there is an advantage for MW2 players as certain content from MW2 will carry over to MW3 and Warzone, regardless of ownership of the previous title.
While there may not be any distinct advantages to owning both MW2 and MW3, players who have unlocked weapons and camos in MW2 prior to MW3’s release will enjoy a head start in MW3’s first season, as their weapons will be accessible in the new multiplayer.
Are Modern Warfare 2 and 3 Connected?
In terms of narrative, Modern Warfare 3 acts as a sequel to the 2022 reboot of Modern Warfare 2. The campaign continues the gripping story, featuring familiar characters such as Captain John Price, Farah Karim, Colonel Shephard, Kyle ‘Gaz’ Garrick, and John ‘ Soap’ MacTavish. However, it is important to note that the multiplayer modes of the two games are not connected.
