The reveal of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, coming just 12 months after the previous Modern Warfare game, has series fans worried that this is simply going to be a glorified DLC pack.
While Call of Duty games have been released annually since way back in 2005, each subseries typically gets a two- or three-year break between entries in order to allow the developers to build some meaningful improvements over the previous title. There was a three-year gap between Modern Warfare in 2019 and Modern Warfare 2 in 2022, for example. While Modern Warfare 3 is being handled by Sledgehammer this time around - as opposed to Infinity War on the previous two MW games - but that's still a tight turnaround on a direct follow-up to MW2.
