A few days ago, Activision confirmed that the new year’s shooter scheduled to be released this year is “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III 2023” (Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III 2023). “Modern Warfare II 2022” players have unlocked special soldiers, gunsmith levels and tokens can be “inherited” to the 3rd generation.
according toOfficial Announcementas the first change in the history of “Decisive Moment”, Activision decided to let all the content collected or unlocked by all players in “Modern Warfare II 2022” can be “inherited” to “Modern Warfare III 2023”, which will be released in November .
Basically, the special soldiers, season appearances, weapon levels, graffiti, and appearances unlocked in “Modern Warfare III 2023” will be transferred to the third generation. The blog also emphasizes that if you do not get the limited season appearances, you will not be able to have them in the future up.
In fact, in recent years, Activision has used a team to launch a new “Decisive Moment” every year. Since each launch means that players need to re-train their skills and guns, the golden guns or special soldiers that have worked so hard to unlock are also different. It cannot be retained, resulting in a sharp drop in the number of players in the final season of each game. And through this “inheritance” policy change, it should help preserve the popularity of “Decisive Moment” when new works are rotated every year.
However, “Modern Warfare III 2023” was previously revealed by a Bloomberg reporter to be a large-scale expansion. Although it seems that the third generation is a new sequel, with the “inheritance” news being released, the development team representing the third generation is in the weapon gunsmith. The system saves a lot of effort, and indirectly confirms this revelation.
It is worth mentioning that although the announcement stated that the gunsmith’s inheritance can include weapon grades and accessories, it is clear that the official division of weaponization into two categories, “MWII” and “MWIII”, and the camouflage of the second generation cannot be used. Applied directly to the new basic weapons of the 3rd generation, it seems that the 3rd generation will introduce basic firearms for players who have not played “Modern Warfare II 2022”.
Although it seems a bit complicated at the moment, in general Activision’s direction is very similar to “Overwatch 2” (Overwatch 2), the purpose is to maintain the accumulated efforts of the players of the previous game, to connect the flow of people from the past to the new work.
In the default question and answer options below the official announcement, Activision is also very “intimate” assuming a question:Now that all weapons are inherited, is this a reason to buy Modern Warfare II 2022?
Of course, this is only “Yes” for Activision.
As for whether such an inheritance strategy works, it depends on the sales performance of the game “Decisive Moment: Modern Warfare III 2023” in November.
