Summary
ACall of Duty: Modern Warfare 3player created an incredible mockup of a long-requested game feature, the gun camo challenge tracker. The mockup, which was shared online, was so well-designed that it fooled many into thinking that it was real.
Released in November 2023, Sledgehammer Games’Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3has drawn flak from both critics and regular gamers alike for its many perceived shortcomings. The shooter’s campaign, in particular, was deemed by many to be shallow and rushed, standing in stark contrast to the single player components of the first two releases in theModern Warfarereboot series that were well-received.While Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3’s multiplayer offering fared better, it is still nowhere near being perfect, and seemingly frustrated players have now resorted to creating mockups to provide a glimpse of what a better game would look like.
Posting on the subreddit for theCall of Dutyseries' popular Zombies mode, a user named ygorhpr showed an alteredCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 3screenshot that had a long-requested feature, a tracker for the shooter’s many gun camouflage challenges, baked into the game’s pause menu.Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3players can view the progress of their camo challenges, but they have to leave any ongoing matches and go back to the main menu to do this. These kinds of small yet noticeable issues are not game-breaking by any means, but they have not done any favors forCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, which is now thelowest-rated game in the entireCall of Duty series.
Community members were impressed by ygorhpr’s mockup of a gun camo challenge tracker, with many admitting that they thought the altered screenshot was real. The Reddit account of Sledgehammer Games was even tagged in the post, but some users claimed that such a feature would never be added to the game as its absence acted as a delaying tool that lengthened player retention. To the developer’s credit,Sledgehammer Games has listened to its audience in the past, so a gun camo tracker being implemented inCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 3would not be completely out of the question.
Should Sledgehammer Games ever decide to add a tracker, however, it could arrive much later down the road as the studio likely has bigger issues to worry about. Among these could be theCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 3Zombies bug that is teleporting players to death.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3is set to receive an update on January 17that will bring a new map, new weapons, and an official collaboration with the television show, The Boys. This update, dubbed Season 1 Reloaded, will also add a new Warlord forCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 3’s Zombies mode.
