Kostich also highlighted the creative freedom that comes with setting games in the modern era and the future. “Once you get into the modern era, you have a lot more flexibility,” he noted. “You get in the future a little bit, there’s even more flexibility with what you can do with weapons.” This approach has been particularly successful for the Black Ops series, known for its mysterious and covert themes.
As Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (2023) approaches its launch date on November 10, it’s set to continue the franchise’s legacy, offering modern settings and introducing new elements like open combat missions and player choices in story quests. Furthermore, players can look forward to revisiting all 16 launch maps from the original Modern Warfare 2 (2009).
