It’s the season of anticipation as leaks about Call of Duty’s upcoming release start emerging. The most recent revelations include details about Modern Warfare 3’s initial weapons, some equipment items, and killer streaks.
Though a cloud of secrecy surrounds Call of Duty 2023, clarity is on the horizon. Activision has officially announced a global unveiling event for the imminent game during Warzone 2’s Season 5. The buzz suggests that this in-game happening is scheduled for August 17.

According to the leaked arsenal, Sledgehammer Games might be resurrecting the divisive Receivers and Platform system.
Introduced by Infinity Ward in Modern Warfare 2, this system revolutionized gun functionalities. For instance, the M4 assault rifle and FSS Hurricane SMG, though different classes, were part of the same Platform.
This novel approach allowed for more streamlined attachment unlocks but was not without its critics.
Some gamers were vexed by the complicated unlocking procedures. Confusions arose, such as needing to level up a sniper rifle to obtain a shotgun attachment, simply because they were on the same platform.
It’s still a question whether COD 2023 will implement this mechanism, so it warrants close monitoring. And, like any other leak, skepticism is advised.
So far, that’s the sum of what we’ve discovered about the forthcoming game’s arsenal. Stay tuned for additional Modern Warfare 3 updates on PowerUp Gamer!
