I can hear screams of joy resonating around the Call of Duty community now. Well, I’m screaming for joy, that’s for sure.
In an interview with Kotaku, Infinity Ward’s creative strategist Robert Bowling has revealed that Modern Warefare 3’s MP will feel more like Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare than Modern Warfare 2.
It will specifically move away from perks, killstreak rewards (including the ever-controversial air strikes) in favour of the gun-on-gun action of Call of Duty 4.
Robert Bowling:
“Modern Warfare style is, for me, all about the high-speed, fast-paced – and I’m talking in terms of smooth controls and 60-frames-per-second framerate – infantry-focused combat.
“And it’s all focused on that gun-on-gun gameplay, especially in Modern Warfare 3. I feel like it’s something we nailed with Call of Duty 4. We moved away from it a little bit with MW2, relying heavily on air support, killstreaks, perks and stuff like that.
“Modern Warfare 3, very much [is] building up from that Call of Duty 4 mentality of gun-on-gun, fast-paced infantry gameplay.”
