Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3Zombies mode is a popular comeback from earlier games, and witnesses players fighting against a deadly apocalypse ingame. While there’s no official word about the mode being free-to-play, it’s likely thatModern Warfare 3Zombies mode is only accessible to those who have purchased the game.
The popular PvE game mode is an ‘extraction’ style gameplay experience that will drop players against deadly enemies on a familiar map, with its own rewards and gameplay challenges.
Considering Call of Duty Multiplayer Spin-Offs, Zombies Should Have Been Free-To-Play
Since its early days, the mode has remained locked as ‘bonus content’ behind the full-game, such as inCall of Duty: World at War, and in more recent titles likeCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. The idea was to keep the mode as an exclusive experience for everyone who purchases the game. However, recent titles likeWarzoneandCall of Duty: Mobilehave proved otherwise.
In the competitive world of multiplayer gaming, it’s not only essential to attract a huge amount of players, but also to sustain interest over time. This includes attention from both fans and newcomers or even casual players who hop in and out from time to time.
It’s important to know thatWarzonewas downloaded by 6 million players within the first 24 hours of its release. This was a massive success for the franchise as a whole, counting on the interest of players who wanted a taste of classic Call of Duty multiplayer gameplay. A similar kind of business model has been expected fromModern Warfare 3Zombies mode.
However, until we officially hear aboutModern Warfare 3Zombies being a free-to-play mode, it’s most probable to assume the mode is locked behindModern Warfare 3’shefty $70 pricing.
Modern Warfare 3 Zombies Is Taking a Different Direction This Time
So far, Zombies mode forCall of Dutyhas emphasised a round-based gameplay loop that rewards players the farther they get into the gameplay. Round after round, the survivability becomes tougher and players have to really have an edge over the undead to win. However, this time around,Modern Warfare 3Zombies will feature a completely different experience.
Sure, the intensity remains, but an open-world approach is what the devs are going for.Modern Warfare 3Zombies will utilise the entire map fromWarzoneand let players team up in an attempt to curate a solid PvE experience. This puts players in a co-op position where they need to work together to overcome the approaching undead monstrosity.
In itsofficial blog, Activision introduces players toModern Warfare 3Zombies in a rather unique fashion:
The Zombies experience arrives in the Modern Warfare universe as a team of multi-national Operators assist the members of Task Force 141 against vast undead hordes brought on by a second major enemy threat.
Watch the trailer and dig into the lore of this massive, open-world experience launching with Modern Warfare III on November 10.
It seems that this time, players will have the chance to experience a full-fledged storyline that meticulously outlines the hows and whys of the zombie outbreak, instead of directly putting them on the battlefield without any information.
An interesting thing to note is thatModern Warfare 3Zombies combines threats both from the living as well as the undead. According to the blog, the ‘living threat’ arrives from Terminus Outcomes, a dangerous military organisation hired by Zakhaev.
Rest assured, the developers are doing their best to make this experimental new take onModern Warfare 3Zombies an enjoyable experience. They’re blending the best of familiar map features and systems with Treyarch Zombies, so that players aren’t too far from their comfort zones. The mode will launch alongside the Campaign and Multiplayer.
