Modern Warfare III players put more time in the Campaign than the previous two installments

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III is two weeks old if you consider the Early Access as part of its age. Those who pre-ordered the new Call of Duty were able to play the Campaign a week early and the length of the story had players frustrated. Sledgehammer Games revealed today that players are putting in more time per player regarding Modern Warfare III’s Campaign. They also confirm this is the most players have engaged with the story mode since the reboot of the Modern Warfare trilogy. In our review of Modern Warfare III, we said the game comes with an uninspiring Campaign that is short-lived. With the introduction of Open Combat Missions, it’s very possible that became more appealing to players.

The Knights Of The Old Republic Remake is still being worked on says Jason Schreier

The Star Wars: Knight Of The Old Republic Remake has been a large discussion over the last few days as insider, Jeff Grubb claimed the game was no longer in development. “This game is not being worked on right now, full stop,” Grubb said. According to Jason Schreier at Bloomberg, two people who work at Saber Interactive confirmed to him the studio is still working on the Knights Of The Old Republic Remake. Here is what Jason said on Resetera: “Is it alive?” and “Will it ever actually come out?” are two very different questions. A third is “If it does ever come out, what will it actually look like?” That said, I’ve talked to two people at Saber who both say they’re still currently working on it, so I don’t believe that the comment that it isn’t being worked on “in any way” right now is true. As we usually say with any rumor like this always take it with a grain of salt, but Jason is a very reliable insider. He recently broke the news about Grand Theft Auto VI getting a new trailer in December the day before Rockstar Games confirmed they would be doing just that.

Sledgehammer Games fail to address Skill Based Matchmaking in Modern Warfare III Reddit Q&A

Sledgehammer Games held a Q&A on Reddit to engage with fans for two and a half hours answering questions regarding their experience so far and what to expect in the future. The developer did say they will be disabling the Gaia skin in Modern Warfare III temporarily and confirmed Gunfight will launch with six maps in Season 1. While they did answer many questions, there is one topic that fans are frustrated about and that’s Skill Based Matchmaking which seems to always be a hot topic with new titles. That was one question that Sledgehammer Games seemed to shy away from. In the AMA thread on Reddit, there are many fans who say they’d even pay for the developer to talk about SBMM in Modern Warfare III. Even fans on X showed their frustrations about how competitive their matches are: The SBMM in MP is absolutely disgusting Welcome to Call of Duty Modern Warfare III CDL Edition Where every match is a tournament for imaginary money and trophy — Xtremeience (Official) (@Xtremeience) November 13, 2023 Should Modern Warfare III SBMM be nerfed?pic.twitter.com/Z7bftLAyCl — Call of Duty News (@WarzoneCenter) November 14, 2023 It’s interesting that Sledgehammer Games has not yet responded to questions. However, this could indicate that they are currently working on a solution and do not have a definitive answer at this time.
The controversial Gaia skin will be temporarily removed from Modern Warfare III

Since the release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III’s multiplayer on November 10, players discovered that the Gaia skin which is a Carry-Forward skin from Modern Warfare II is very pay-to-win. Sledgehammer Games held a Q&A on the official MWIII subreddit answering questions including one about this overpowered Groot skin. Players are facing an issue online with the Gaia, also known as the Groot skin. It has become difficult to spot players using this skin, putting opponents at a disadvantage. So a fan asked about it on Reddit and Sledgehammer Games said they’ll be disabling the item in a future update. Adjustments to Gaia and Gaia Blackcell Operator Skins are in the pipeline for Modern Warfare III. In a future game update, we’ll disable this item until said changes can be released to all players. Soon enough players will not be allowed to use this skin and hopefully, a fix will come in the future to let players use it again. In the Reddit Q&A that Sledgehammer Games hosted, they revealed Gunfight will launch with 6 maps in Season 1.
