Glitches are just a part of gaming, but there are different levels. The best are the helpful glitches that give you an unintended edge, but those aren’t great for multiplayer.

The worst is when a glitch only gives your opponent the edge, and only you suffer. Call of Duty Warzone is currently experiencing the latter in the new Urzikstan map that arrived with Season 1 that everyone should know about.

Best Striker 9 Loadout in Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone https://twinfinite.net/call-of-duty/best-striker-9-loadout-in-modern-warfare-3/ https://twinfinite.net/call-of-duty/best-striker-9-loadout-in-modern-warfare-3/#respond Wed, 13 Dec 2023 15:32:00 +0000 https://twinfinite.net/?p=1010940 The Striker's big brother shouldn't be underestimated.]]>

The Striker’s big brother, the Striker 9, is a fantastic weapon for new and old players alike in Modern Warfare 3. Due to its ease of use, we wanted to find the best Striker 9 loadout so you can dominate in MW3 and Warzone.

The Striker 9 suffers from the success of its big brother, the Striker, due to its subpar damage, lower fire rate, and all-around performance. However, that is not to say that the Striker 9 is a bad weapon, its accuracy is better than most SMGs and it inherits its range from the Striker. So it can put up a fight even in a Warzone environment.

CoD’s DMZ Has Officially Come to a Close, & That’s Okay https://twinfinite.net/call-of-duty/cods-dmz-has-officially-come-to-close-thats-okay/ https://twinfinite.net/call-of-duty/cods-dmz-has-officially-come-to-close-thats-okay/#respond Thu, 30 Nov 2023 20:55:58 +0000 https://twinfinite.net/?p=1013894 A change for the better.]]>

Since the launch of Modern Warfare 3, DMZ fans have been wondering about the mode’s future, especially with the arrival of Zombies. And now, the Call of Duty Blog has finally disclosed its conclusion, indicating that there will be no new content moving forward.

Once MW3 Season 1 launches, DMZ Beta will only be available to play via the Call of Duty: Warzone section. You won’t be able to access it through Modern Warfare 3, as Zombies will be the main focus.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Review – Remastered, Revamped, and Reused https://twinfinite.net/call-of-duty/call-of-duty-modern-warfare-3-review/ https://twinfinite.net/call-of-duty/call-of-duty-modern-warfare-3-review/#respond Sat, 25 Nov 2023 14:10:58 +0000 https://twinfinite.net/?p=1008796 Modern Warfare 3 is out, let's take a deep dive.]]>

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 on PC

Call of Duty is a household franchise that has spanned the course of two decades and has often breached into the mainstream like no other video game. Its highest highs are matched with some lowest of lows but with the brand new release of Modern Warfare 3, we want to see if it can match juggernauts like Black Ops 1 or flounder with Vanguard.

So first let’s talk about the Campaign. At the risk of sounding dramatic or hyperbolic, the Modern Warfare 3 Campaign may just be the one of, if not the worst Campaigns in the history of the series.

10 Call of Duty Easter Eggs You May Have Missed https://twinfinite.net/features/call-of-duty-easter-eggs-you-may-have-missed/ https://twinfinite.net/features/call-of-duty-easter-eggs-you-may-have-missed/#respond Thu, 23 Nov 2023 23:32:00 +0000 https://twinfinite.net/?p=1011009 From freaky mannequins to the return of a familiar four-legged friend, Call of Duty has had some great Easter Eggs.]]>

The Call of Duty franchise is packed with Easter Eggs and secrets. The Zombies mode has even built questlines around finding objects and solving complex multi-step puzzles. Unfortunately, the urgency of missions and the chaos of gunfights can lead players to miss some of Call of Duty’s best Easter Eggs.

Mannequin Madness

Black Ops 3 Nuketown Map

The multiplayer map Nuketown is a staple of the Black Ops sub-series and each incarnation has had its own Easter Egg involving the various mannequins dotted around the map. For example, in the first Black Ops shooting off all of the mannequin heads will trigger The Rolling Stones’ song Sympathy For The Devil to begin playing out of the map’s air raid sirens. Likewise in Black Ops III shooting off all the mannequin heads in under two minutes will make them start chasing and attacking you like zombies.

Modern Warfare 3 Zombies Is a Wholesome Experience That I Never Knew I Needed https://twinfinite.net/call-of-duty/modern-warfare-3-zombies-wholesome-experience-never-knew-needed/ https://twinfinite.net/call-of-duty/modern-warfare-3-zombies-wholesome-experience-never-knew-needed/#respond Fri, 17 Nov 2023 14:00:00 +0000 https://twinfinite.net/?p=1009520 Cozy with a twist of the undead. ]]>

If there were two words I would have never that could be together, it would probably be “zombies” and “wholesome.” Yet, Call of Duty’s most rendition somehow makes it happen, as I find my heart getting full with each passing deadly match.

Now, you may wonder: What makes Modern Warfare 3 Zombies so wholesome? Well, it all comes down to the latest PvE experience that no longer pits other players against each other to formulate more team-based mechanics. I’ll admit I had a rough time playing DMZ with my constant run-ins with enemy Operators, ultimately leaving me resourceless and embarrassed for trusting them.

Call of Duty‘s Zombie mode may have started as an Easter Egg but it has become an essential part of the franchise. The mode is constantly evolving and one big factor is the assortment of powerful weapons available. Here are the 10 best Wonder Weapons in Call of Duty Zombies.

Given that Modern Warfare 3’s zombies mode is always online, players are always bound to meet up with other people during their time in the exclusion zone. While they’ll usually just swing by to revive you if you find yourself downed, sometimes MW3 players might just be feeling a little extra generous.

Reddit user clittlord was playing a match of zombies and found themselves with an extra Speed Cola as a result of their endeavors, and so they figured that someone else in their squad might be better off with it than they were. Once that squad mate found themselves ready to Exfil from the Exclusion Zone, they figured they’d pay back the favor.

Call of Duty HQ Makes It Harder to Play Call of Duty https://twinfinite.net/features/call-of-duty-hq-makes-it-harder-to-play-call-of-duty/ https://twinfinite.net/features/call-of-duty-hq-makes-it-harder-to-play-call-of-duty/#respond Sat, 11 Nov 2023 20:35:20 +0000 https://twinfinite.net/?p=1006336 New players have a lot of excess to break through just to get in the game.]]>

Modern Warfare 3 is the next addition to the Call of Duty franchise and its plethora of games, joining the likes of Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone on the Call of Duty HQ. However, while HQ does bring everything together into one place, it makes it more challenging to break into the series than in previous formats.

There are many reasons why the CoD HQ just doesn’t do it for me, the first of which is that nearly every time you open it, there will be an update. I’m not saying I have a problem with updates, but the game loads up fully, then tells you there was an update, only to restart the app and make you load it all up again. It would be much less of a hassle if it could silently update while the game was closed. That way, you could just load directly into the game and get playing.

Modern Warfare 3 is bringing back new and old fans thanks to the introduction of fan-favorite movement, 2009 maps, and significantly improved gunplay. But the most important feature is the brand-new weapons. So that you can start your MW3 journey quickly, we have compiled a tier list of the Modern Warfare 3 best weapons.

Best Weapons in Modern Warfare 3

Gun are broken down into eight categories in MW3, which are: ARs, SMGs, Battle Rifles, Sniper Rifles, Launchers, Sidearms, Marksman Rifles and LMGs. Below is our Tier List for all weapons in Modern Warfare 3.

Modern Warfare 3 is less than a week away and Sledgehammer Games has just announced an important change in the latest Launch Comms. Weapon Tuning is being removed in both MW2 and MW3.

Today Sledgehammer Games released their latest Launch Comms blogpost where they detail a hefty amount of information. One vital piece was detailed in a small paragraph that reads:

The Modern Warfare 3 Beta is already in its second week and players are finding their feet. The new engine, movement mechanics, and updated weaponry are a breath of fresh air for players. Old players have found the new remastered maps a blast from the past, while newcomers to the series are enjoying the expected continuation of the trilogy. While some things are hidden, most of the Beta has been explored and combed through. However, Sledgehammer Games has just shared a small video with the community that has flipped our perception of flashbangs.

2009 was 14 years ago...]]>

The Modern Warfare 3 Beta has brought back players young and old to experience the final installment of the remastered trilogy. MW3 has chosen to update all the old Modern Warfare 2 maps and bring them to the modern age for those that never experienced the craziness on Favela or trickshots off of Highrise. So many fond memories that are tinged by the realization that I’m getting old.

It is still surprising to say that 14 years have passed since Modern Warfare 2 was released. 14 years since the gang loaded into a map of Afghan for a game of Mike-Myers, 14 years since the good old Intervention 1v1s, and 14 years since the infamous pre-game lobbies. Old players like myself are bombarded by nostalgia each time we boot up the MW3 Beta and jump into one of the remastered maps. Every corner I turn there is another memory of myself and friends enjoying the late night session with the morning and school quickly approaching.

No one will deny that Warzone has its problems, but usually, Operators aren’t the main focus of bad design. Season 6 dropped with a lot of new goodies to sort through, including new weapons, new skins, and balancing changes that promise to shake up the META.

Sadly, one of the new Operator skins ‘Gaia’ has since dominated Warzone with its very chameleon-like blending, hiding in plain sight. And this has been far from a plus for the game and wider community.

An Entire Lobby of Warzone Players Banded Together to Fight Against a Group of Hackers https://twinfinite.net/call-of-duty/an-entire-lobby-of-warzone-players-banded-together-to-fight-against-a-group-of-hackers/ https://twinfinite.net/call-of-duty/an-entire-lobby-of-warzone-players-banded-together-to-fight-against-a-group-of-hackers/#respond Fri, 13 Oct 2023 13:29:44 +0000 https://twinfinite.net/?p=996682 Tactical Nuke Incoming!]]>

Hackers and cheaters have been a plague on almost every multiplayer game since their inception. Warzone 2 is sadly no exception to this, but Activision’s Anti-Cheat Ricochet catches many in its nets. And yet, some still slip through the cracks and find their way into the games we love, ruining their competitive integrity. Thankfully, players’ shared hate of hackers is just slightly stronger than our desire to win, so when a hacker found their way into a Warzone game, the entire lobby banded together to fight back.

The Entire Warzone Lobby Vs Hackers

YouTuber Kalbo was knee-deep in a regular Warzone game when a squad aimed to complete the Champion’s Quest; a pretty regular occurrence, as it is the most prestigious reward in Call of Duty. However, things take a strange turn as the squad undergoing the quest begins flying across the map, and not in a helicopter either.

Call of Duty is a franchise that is older than a portion of its current player base and over its 20-year tenure it has spawned several banger games, has redefined the FPS genre, and innovated with each installment. The franchise has spent time in the sixties, among the trenches of World War 2, the streets of Paris, and the Skies of Jupiter, there are very few places these campaigns have yet to bring us.

However, all Call of Duty campaigns are not created equally so here we ranked each one of them for your viewing pleasure.

Call of Duty: Warzone‘s scattergun approach to crossovers has seen the battle royale feature operators based on famous figures in other media. While not as exhaustive as a game like Fortnite, which has crossed over with almost every media product under the sun, CoD: Warzone has quietly built itself a catalog of licensed operators and alternate skins since it was first released in 2020. From horror icons to hip-hop sensations and comic book supervillains to the eighth wonder of the world, here are the top 10 weirdest crossover operators in Call of Duty: Warzone.

10. Snoop Dogg

It says a lot about CoD: Warzone’s various crossovers when rapper Snoop Dogg is tenth on this list. Snoop has a history with the Call of Duty franchise, having supplied voice lines for a Voice Pack in CoD: Ghosts, so he’s ranked high on the list. Speaking of things that are “high,” The Snoop Dogg Operator Bundle leans into the rapper’s well-known love of recreational drugs with his “Bong Ripper” sniper rifle, “West Coast Bling” assault rifle, and “Tha Shiznit” SMG firing unique “Green Weed” tracer rounds.

And the ACR?! What a day to be alive.]]>

With PlayStation players already hands-on with the MW3 Beta this week, they are the first to experience all the changes Activision has designed for fans. From movement to killstreaks, perks to maps, there is so much Modern Warfare 3 has done that sets it apart from its predecessor MW2.

A major difference is the addition of new weapons, giving players new opportunities to seek out the best and most effective strategy. Unsurprisingly, the meta has already started to form, with certain weapons drawing more popularity and success than others. Players are experimenting with different loadouts, perks, footwear, and gloves. It is still the early days of the new game, but some weapons are quickly rising above the rest. Whether or not your progress carries over to MW3’s release, it is always best practice to know what gun performs the best. So, with the question on everyone’s lips, let’s have a look at the 5 best weapons in the MW3 Beta so far.

The Modern Warfare 3 Beta is currently underway for PlayStation players and the rest of us will have our turn soon enough. A Beta is the perfect way for players to jump in and experience the game ahead of release. It benefits those who are on the fence about their purchase and allows players to physically experience the changes from one game to another. Betas even help the developer determine what works and what doesn’t.

Thanks to the Call of Duty Next event, players were already excited and aware of the upcoming changes they can experience in the MW3 Beta. You’ll be able to unlock weapons, killstreaks, and perks by leveling up. This progression has left players wondering whether their progress will carry over to the full game. So here’s the answer:

Cosmetics have more or less been centered around complete outfits that ultimately change the skin of your Operator. However, Modern Warfare 3 will change this feature with its new Perk system, which is divided into three categories: boots, gloves, and gear. Players can anticipate four vests: Infantry, Engineer, Gunner, and Demolition (with more possibly coming for launch and post-launch.) Each has its own perks at the start of each session, including the gloves and boots.
