With Treyarch developers working on Zombies within Sledgehammer’sModern Warfare 3, the expectation among fans is that previous mistakes inVanguardwill be taken into consideration, and adhering to the elements withinCold War’s Zombies will be the pivotal factor in its potential success.
5New Round-Based Maps In Future Update
As Treyarch provided fans with aplethora of content to enjoy within Zombies, with each season adding new maps, weapons, and rewards, fans now view this as a standard for all entries in the franchise. While the most played mode within each title is arguably standard Multiplayer, there is no denying how crucial a worthwhile Zombies experience has been in maintaining player counts for each title that features the mode.
Given the fact thatModern Warfare 3will not feature the classic round-based maps that fans are familiar with, the possibility of this coming at a later date is certainly present. In that case, Treyarch and any fellow developers in Sledgehammer should look to include more maps or ensure the added maps are entirely new and not only ones from previous games.
4Faster/More Intelligent Zombies
While it is important to note that the zombies often gain more speed and power within each round inCold War,Modern Warfare 3could create a unique experience specifically within this aspect. If developers were ever planning to add more of a horror element to the Zombies experience on this occasion, changing the zombies' AI would most certainly achieve this.

Considering the potential of new perks on top of ones such as’Speed Cola' and ‘Stamin-Up’ which include faster reloading and sprinting, developers would be doing fans a favor by creating zombies that are far much faster, intimidating, and intelligent. This would especially work best this time around, as Zombies inModern Warfare 3will take place on what is said to be the biggest map yet for the mode, giving players more space to roam around and escape from the grasp of enemies.
3New Perks
Speaking of perks, one of the fundamental aspects of all Zombies modes in the franchise has been the perks that players have at their disposal. Given the difficulty increase after each round, players must ensure they keep their eye on their perk acquisition and weapon upgrades so they avoid death at the hands of zombies.
With the current plethora of perks present inCold War,it would be interesting to see which new ones would be added here inModern Warfare 3and how this willimpact gameplay within the new big open-world map. Setting up new perks and upgrades for players to use each time they play Zombies adds another element of keeping the experience fresh and engaging.
2Exclusive Rewards
Just as its predecessor did with its Raids and co-op missions,Modern Warfare 3could replicate the same rewards system. As an extra incentive for players to try these modes, certain camos, operator skins, emblems, and much more were exclusive to these modes and were only attainable through completion.
While it is highly likely thatModern Warfare 3’s Zombies will contain its own set of weapon camos for players to unlock, developers could include bundles of content for players to unlock through each season update or new mission addition. Given the high level of anticipation among fans and the hope for a long-lasting experience withZombies here as opposed toVanguard, implementing a variety of cosmetics for players to unlock will be a pivotal factor in the maintenance of a high player count.
1New Unique Modes/Missions
Despite the fact that Treyarch may be saving big surprises for their next entry in theCall of Dutyfranchise, there is no doubt that fans will be hoping for a new and unique touch forModern Warfare 3(2023). While it will be important to adhere to fans who wish to have the core feeling of Zombies maintained here, there is potential for developers to do much more in this region, especially since this is the firstModern Warfaretitle to include the mode.
With theprevious Raids and co-op survival missions inModern Warfare 2(2022)and the classicModern Warfaretitles, this could be implemented within Zombies with the potential of featuring suspenseful missions. Whether this would run along the lines of horror-themed sequences, exfilling an abandoned and zombie-infested location, or survival in a hospital location that features campaign-like segments,Modern Warfare 3has the potential to create the most engaging and innovative Zombies experience yet.
With much more yet to be revealed as to how the big open-world Outbreak-like mode will play out, fans will be hoping that there will be much more in store later down the line ofModern Warfare 3’s release.
Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3is set to release November 10th on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and PC.
