[QUOTE="Admin, post: 60240, member: 1"] Call of Duty fans are talking about Modern Warfare 2 — not to be confused with the game under the same title from 2009 — following [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/call-of-duty-modern-warfare-3-reveals-open-world-zombies-mode']yesterday's reveal of Modern Warfare 3[/URL]. Last year's entry in the long-running annual franchise made a lot of changes that angered fans. In fact, these changes drew so much heat from the community that Sledgehammer is completely walking many of them back for Modern Warfare 3, which is set to release on November 10th. Changes included gameplay-level overhauls to the shooter's movement systems, minimap, player health, and perk systems. MW2 also removed players' ability to vote on maps in-between multiplayer matches. Call of Duty's success is partially thanks to its consistency, so needless to say, Infinity Ward's fixing-what's-not-broken approach drew widespread ire from the game's player base. In tandem with the reveal, Call of Duty's official Twitter account released a thread detailing what fans can expect from the series' 19th annual entry. After addressing MW3's campaign and zombies offerings, the account confirmed what fans had been hoping for, announcing that it would be walking back many of the changes introduced in Modern Warfare 2. Fan reactions to the news that Sledgehammer are excited, if a bit annoyed that the changes happened in the first place. [H2]Modern Warfare III is leaning heavily into nostalgia[/H2] Modern Warfare III is also leaning heavily into nostalgia. Remarkably, all of its maps at launch at will be remasters of classic maps from the original Modern Warfare 2 (new maps will be released as part of the post-launch D:C. The trailer also clearly leans into massive cultural touchstones like the infamous 'No Russian' mission from the original Modern Warfare 2. Some CoD fans seem skeptical of the drive toward nostalgia, with one Reddit user writing, "It's interesting how each game in the MW Reboot remixes various parts of the previous trilogy.
