Modern Warfare III theme, title, UI, Operators, and leaked gameplay features

Media outlet CharlieIntel recently took to Twitter to mention that, unlike previous installments, Call of Duty 2023 will have a red color theme throughout. Again, it’s what certain leaked images have indicated. For those who are not having a clue, the current game sports a green color theme. Infinity Ward rebooted 2019 MW title and had a blue theme.

Speaking of the UI, then it’s expected to be similar to that of Modern Warfare II. Meaning that people who are not impressed with the latest entry and how it looks won’t be pleased too much with the next title’s interface. As for the features, the game is expected to include the War mode from 2017’s World War II. Also, it’s rumored to bring back the Ninja perk alongside Reload Cancelling. The perks will be categorized into Gears for MWIII.

All these details were recently revealed by a user named BobNetworkUK on Twitter. This account has also claimed that red dots on the mini-map will come back. Plus, the game is going to be called Modern Warfare III, based on the DMCA notice sent to Bob.

Moreover, existing Operators, weapons, and bundles will carry forward into MWIII as well. Once again, the intel was leaked by BobNetworkUK on social media. It implies that players who have purchased multiple bundles from the in-game store of the current entry can use them in the upcoming title too.

Bob also revealed another information regarding the gameplay, while claiming that Scorestreaks toggle from MWII will make a return this year. Below is the tweet regarding this crucial leak.
