Modern Warfare 3 Physical Units Out In The Wild Already

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 will find itself launching across the world on November 10, 2023. Despite the fact that the game’s in early access at the moment, with only its campaign unlocked and made playable, physical copies of the title have been spotted out in the wild, fairly ahead of its release date. An interesting point to note though is how the back cover says, “The best-selling franchise on Xbox.”

However, you can't play it yet as even the physical copy requires download and is locked until regional launch.

Until then, you’re free to play Modern Warfare 3’s campaign, which, by the way, entails its own sad story, unfortunately. Ever since the story mode of the game opened up for players and critics to get into, it’s been absolutely mauled for its lack of depth, lackluster quality, and barely workable length, which clocks in somewhere between 3-4 hours—much to the disappointment of fans. 

In light of all this, users have criticized the $70 price tag of the FPS heavily as well, saying that Modern Warfare 3 feels more like a DLC — a bad one at that too — rather than a full game, given how it won’t launch with new maps either and will use remade versions of older maps instead. Oh, and on top of that, the game’s like 213 GB with the high-resolution assets, the COD HQ app, Warzone, and the campaign.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 will be released on November 10, 2023, for a myriad of platforms, including PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC.
