Since the Urzikstan map was released for Warzone in late 2023, fans have been waiting for ranked to return. It was most recently mentioned in February in a blog post about Season 2 on the Call of Duty site. It was light on details; all it had to say was that it would come later this year. After three months of silence, while fans have been asking on Reddit and Twitter, there is finally a new update.

Call of Duty-focused outlet Charlie Intel shared in a tweet that Activision promised Ranked was still coming in a call with creators. However, while this is still a confirmation, it is still in the works. The only downside is that Activision didn’t announce a possible date. Instead, they once again give it the “later this year” release window. That might not be completely what was wanted, but at least Activision knows players still want it.

Call Of Duty has been around since the early-2000s and love for the game has only increased over the years. This means fans can range from your teenage cousin to your camo-clad dad and everyone in between! If you are looking for the perfect gift for the Call Of Duty fan in your life, or even something for yourself this payday, look no further.

The players who enjoy first-person shooters generally scrutinize them the most, and Warzone is certainly no different. Users on the r/CODWarzone subreddit frequently discuss the strength of aim assist for console players, but one user took to setting the record straight.

u/LTFC_Dangerous posted a video to r/CODWarzone showing all the kills from one of their exciting Warzone wins. In response, many people weren’t thrilled to see it in action and attributed the 31-kill victory to aim assist.

When it comes to the element of surprise, the sound of a UTV in Warzone might give you away. A Warzone player on Reddit has shown off their compilation of proving that point entirely wrong. They got quite the showreel from their UTV in the place you’d least expect.

The UTVs in Warzone are great for getting you and your squad across the map as quickly as possible. They’re quick, nimble and can protect you from a few stray shots. However, there are some places on the map that you simply wouldn’t expect to find one, like in a stairwell.

Paul Atrides and Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen have finally made their way to Call of Duty MW3 and CoD Warzone. Dune 2 has finally hit the cinemas and it’s the perfect time for CoD to launch their skins for Thimothée Chalamet and Austin Butler. Let’s go over how to get the Dune Skins in MW3 & Warzone.

How to get Timothée Chalamet Paul Atreidies Operator

You can get the Timothée Chalamet Dune skin by purchasing the Paul Atreidies Operator Bundle for 2,400 CoD points. 2,400 CoD points will cost you around $20.00 USD or £16.79 GBP. The operator was released on December 13th, 2023.

Today the Call of Duty network has been faced some severe outages and errors, to say the least. From the Minot Myer to Hawthorne error, it doesn’t seem like the system is letting up. CoD players are definitely paying the price.

One, in particular, is the issue with Modern Warfare 3’s SBMM, where the standard matchmaking has changed its tune. Since the game’s release, this mechanic has received mixed reviews, and some even believe it has worsened. However, with the latest development, it is now completely broken. Interestingly, players’ reactions may surprise you.

The Striker’s big brother, the Striker 9, is a fantastic weapon for new and old players alike in Modern Warfare 3. Due to its ease of use, we wanted to find the best Striker 9 loadout so you can dominate in MW3 and Warzone.

Best Striker 9 Loadout in Warzone

Best Striker 9 Attachments

The Striker 9 suffers from the success of its big brother, the Striker, due to its lower damage and fairly hard to control recoil.

If there’s one thing that drives the MW3 Zombies community, it would probably be the objective-based camo challenges. It’s got enough juice to prolong the mode’s replayability and has continued to do so since its release.

However, the challenges exhibit a setback where you can only view them in the main menu. That means players go into matches with their wits alone, ultimately leaving them blind to their current progress. Fortunately, Reddit user ygorhpr has established an idea for an in-game Zombies camo challenges tracker and has even managed to create it themself.

If there’s one thing to expect from the Call of Duty community, it’s the desire to show off some of the coolest kills or moments from their gameplay. However, one Reddit user decided to downplay the impressiveness of one of their kills even though it’s not one that many players could pull off.

User Kiang_x posted in the ModernWarfareIII subreddit with a clip of gameplay on Terminal titled “Actually a nice triple kill :).” This would lead most users to think that the clip would be of a few solid shots with the sniper rifle the user was running, and the first two kills of the streak would seem to confirm that theory. However, the third kill in the sequence was nothing short of brilliant.

The Modern Warfare 3 community is alive with people reporting bugs, asking questions and posting killcams, and one of the latter turned out to be more than two players bargained for during the CODMAS holiday event.

A Reddit post by user tiktokalnuke showed a final killcam of a player showing off some impressive snowball fighting by getting the fastest double kill that you can. They started off on the roof of the building on the Hangover map, jumping down to refill on snowballs and get the drop on an enemy who was engaging with the player’s teammate.

Modern Warfare 3’s Reddit community is active with players who have plenty of feedback for the first-person shooter, from guns to equipment to melee weapons. Those melee weapons are being brought into question by the community by multiple players reporting their strength as being broken.

Ragnaroknight, a user on the ModernWarfareIII subreddit pointed out that during their recent gameplay, the players who are at the top of the leaderboards are the ones who are using the knife in their loadouts and tailoring their gameplay to that. They go on to say that it’s not just the knife itself, but the rest of the loadout that makes it so powerful.

Glitches are just a part of gaming, but there are different levels. The best are the helpful glitches that give you an unintended edge, but those aren’t great for multiplayer.

The worst is when a glitch only gives your opponent the edge, and only you suffer. Call of Duty Warzone is currently experiencing the latter in the new Urzikstan map that arrived with Season 1 that everyone should know about.

Since the launch of Modern Warfare 3, DMZ fans have been wondering about the mode’s future, especially with the arrival of Zombies. And now, the Call of Duty Blog has finally disclosed its conclusion, indicating that there will be no new content moving forward.

Once MW3 Season 1 launches, DMZ Beta will only be available to play via the Call of Duty: Warzone section. You won’t be able to access it through Modern Warfare 3, as Zombies will be the main focus.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 on PC

Call of Duty is a household franchise that has spanned the course of two decades and has often breached into the mainstream like no other video game. Its highest highs are matched with some lowest of lows but with the brand new release of Modern Warfare 3, we want to see if it can match juggernauts like Black Ops 1 or flounder with Vanguard.

So first let’s talk about the Campaign. At the risk of sounding dramatic or hyperbolic, the Modern Warfare 3 Campaign may just be the one of, if not the worst Campaigns in the history of the series.

The Call of Duty franchise is packed with Easter Eggs and secrets. The Zombies mode has even built questlines around finding objects and solving complex multi-step puzzles. Unfortunately, the urgency of missions and the chaos of gunfights can lead players to miss some of Call of Duty’s best Easter Eggs.

Mannequin Madness

The multiplayer map Nuketown is a staple of the Black Ops sub-series and each incarnation has had its own Easter Egg involving the various mannequins dotted around the map. For example, in the first Black Ops shooting off all of the mannequin heads will trigger The Rolling Stones’ song Sympathy For The Devil to begin playing out of the map’s air raid sirens. Likewise in Black Ops III shooting off all the mannequin heads in under two minutes will make them start chasing and attacking you like zombies.

If there were two words I would have never that could be together, it would probably be “zombies” and “wholesome.” Yet, Call of Duty’s most rendition somehow makes it happen, as I find my heart getting full with each passing deadly match.

Now, you may wonder: What makes Modern Warfare 3 Zombies so wholesome? Well, it all comes down to the latest PvE experience that no longer pits other players against each other to formulate more team-based mechanics. I’ll admit I had a rough time playing DMZ with my constant run-ins with enemy Operators, ultimately leaving me resourceless and embarrassed for trusting them.

Call of Duty‘s Zombie mode may have started as an Easter Egg but it has become an essential part of the franchise. The mode is constantly evolving and one big factor is the assortment of powerful weapons available. Here are the 10 best Wonder Weapons in Call of Duty Zombies.

Elemental Staffs – Staff of Ice

One of four buildable elemental staffs available on the Call of Duty: Black Ops II map Origins. Built from Amplification Rods and elemental stones found around the trenches of Northern France during World War I, a base staff does 1000 points of damage, and when fully upgraded can do up to 300,000.

Given that Modern Warfare 3’s zombies mode is always online, players are always bound to meet up with other people during their time in the exclusion zone. While they’ll usually just swing by to revive you if you find yourself downed, sometimes MW3 players might just be feeling a little extra generous.

Reddit user clittlord was playing a match of zombies and found themselves with an extra Speed Cola as a result of their endeavors, and so they figured that someone else in their squad might be better off with it than they were. Once that squad mate found themselves ready to Exfil from the Exclusion Zone, they figured they’d pay back the favor.

Modern Warfare 3 is the next addition to the Call of Duty franchise and its plethora of games, joining the likes of Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone on the Call of Duty HQ. However, while HQ does bring everything together into one place, it makes it more challenging to break into the series than in previous formats.

There are many reasons why the CoD HQ just doesn’t do it for me, the first of which is that nearly every time you open it, there will be an update. I’m not saying I have a problem with updates, but the game loads up fully, then tells you there was an update, only to restart the app and make you load it all up again. It would be much less of a hassle if it could silently update while the game was closed. That way, you could just load directly into the game and get playing.

Modern Warfare 3 is bringing back new and old fans thanks to the introduction of fan-favorite movement, 2009 maps, and significantly improved gunplay. But the most important feature is the brand-new weapons. So that you can start your MW3 journey quickly, we have compiled a tier list of the Modern Warfare 3 best weapons.

Best Weapons in Modern Warfare 3

Gun are broken down into eight categories in MW3, which are: ARs, SMGs, Battle Rifles, Sniper Rifles, Launchers, Sidearms, Marksman Rifles and LMGs. Below is our Tier List for all weapons in Modern Warfare 3.
