The video game developing powerhouse, Sledgehammer Games, is spearheading the development of Modern Warfare 3. The gaming community is eagerly anticipating this release, mostly because of Sledgehammer's decision to address several long-standing requests from players.
Key updates to Modern Warfare 3 include the return of the classic mini-map feature, an element that reveals players’ locations when firing an unmodified weapon. Furthermore, the developers have heeded complaints surrounding multiplayer TTK (Time to Kill) speed. Meaning, they implemented a change to slow it down by increasing the base health to 150.
New Features in Modern Warfare 3
The developers re-empowered players by including a feature that allows them to vote on the map for their multiplayer games. Additionally, Sledgehammer has promised wide-ranging changes to the game play's movement, such as the reintroduction of slide and reload cancelling and enhanced movement speed.
But the changes were initially met with skepticism until players got hands-on experience. Impressively, the improved mantling speed emerged as the standout enhancement.
Enhanced Mantling Speed
In a shared look at the Highrise remake, developers presented an operator sprinting around the map and mantling previously unreachable spots. Viewers welcomed the noticeable upgrade in sprinting and mantling speeds, expressing gratitude for the noticeable improvements. Even Sledgehammer Games agreed by noting, 'Movement feels even better than it looks.'
During the preview, the gaming community shared their enthusiasm for the enhanced movement capabilities. One community member shared, 'Fast mantle. That’s promising. Can’t wait to see what the aim down sight and sprint to fire looks like.' Meanwhile, another added, 'This looks so good… the movement looks so smooth.'
However, a third member did voice some skepticism about the option to vault into new locations – a change that deviates from the original MW2 game play. The player commented, 'As an OG MW2 player, mantling on new things, I may not know how I feel about it right now, but I’m willing to adapt.'
Looking Forward
The gaming community is eager to see the improved movement in action at the upcoming Call of Duty Next. With so much excitement surrounding the release of Modern Warfare 3, the game seems set to revolutionize the player experience.
