Activision is leaving no stone unturned in marketing 2023’s Call of Duty to be the ultimate FPS experience. Yes, the current installment has failed to impress the community, but the publisher knows how to bring players back. Probably that’s the reason why the hype for the next premium is gaining strong momentum these days.

While there’s still time for Modern Warfare III to release, recent reports and rumors have turned it into a trending topic; especially when it comes to the expected price of this AAA title. Many people believe that Activision should not charge a full price as it’s barely a standalone game. That’s because they think it’s just a DLC based on its predecessor, MWII. Sadly, a recent update won’t end up pleasing those gamers who were hoping for MWIII to be affordable. Unfortunately, it’s not.
