Sometimes there's no pleasing the internet masses, and passionate communities rarely hesitate to let feelings be known, especially when it comes to Call of Duty.
While it hasn't been officially revealed yet, it’s one of the worst-kept secrets in recent months that this year will see the release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III, a sequel to the reboot that that launched in 2019.
Check out the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 reveal trailer below!
Originally, it was reported that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III would be an expansion to MWII, but it soon evolved into its own standalone release. Hopefully, that aspect will please fans, because the original MW3 from 2011 is a fan favourite, especially when it comes to its multiplayer offerings.
If recent habits are to be taken into account, before Activision reveals a new Call of Duty, it is often teased with profile image changes on social media, followed by the reveal of artwork before full-blown trailers are showcased to the world.

Unfortunately for Activision, before it can even officially tease artwork for Modern Warfare III to its fans, its artwork has already been leaked and worst still, despite not even being released yet, MWIII is already being attacked by fans.
The alleged leaked images were also shared on Reddit courtesy of a Twitter user @Earthbound_Fan. “Modern Warfare III key art leaked,” posted Redditor m1n3c7afty which was followed by a barrage of displeasure from fans.

“Absolutely absurd that this is a full retail game,” exclaimed DaftNeal88. “This sh** was supposed to be DLC for MWII,” replied BNS0. What’s more, some fans are even unhappy with the leaked artwork. “I don’t like it, looks like they are trying too hard to be edgy,” said MrDayvs. “It looks like a logo for a knockoff iOS app,” added SimpleDose.
At the end of the day, whether we like a piece of artwork is subjective to the individual. That being said, even if Modern Warfare III started its life as an expansion, if it commands a full RRP and still offers the same level of content as the two previously released MW games, hopefully, it will be enough to please fans. However, if it’s a much-streamlined experience and still commands a full RRP, then that is something else entirely.
In other Call of Duty news, following recent rumours, both Nicki Minaj and Snoop Dogg have been confirmed as playable Operators in Warzone, and the OG Modern Warfare 2 servers have been pulled offline thanks to pesky hackers.
At this time, we do not have a release date for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III, but it is expected to release this year for PC, PlayStation and Xbox.
