It looks like the latest Call of Duty game, Modern Warfare 3, and the current version of Warzone are scoring big with gamers, as it seems to have amassed more game time than the Call of Duty game from last year.
This was confirmed by an Activision representative in a statement, saying that more people are playing the latest Call of Duty (Modern Warfare 3) compared to the previous one (Modern Warfare 2).
“We’re having a blast supporting the community across Call of Duty. The teams have had fun connecting with our players and creating high-quality, new experiences for them. Player engagement is up with more players playing now than this time last year.”
Unfortunately, no numbers were released, so we don’t even know if this means the numbers are drastically higher or what. It is important to note that Modern Warfare 2 was crafted by Infinity Ward, while Sledgehammer Games is the main studio behind MW3. Thankfully, Modern Warfare 3 dropped the slower pace Infinity Ward’s last two Call of Duty games preferred, which meant running and gunning is a valid style of play once again.
Activision has been consistent in its support of both Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone, as just last week, the big Season 3 patch was dropped which introduced new maps, weapons and more into the game.
