Summary
Players are furious with the current level cap inCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 3since a prestige system is currently unavailable in the game, preventing them from leveling up even further. Although this issue was present with the launch of 2022’sCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, many fans hoped that prestige mode would be available inCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 3at launch.
Modern Warfare 3gained the attention of lapsedCall of Dutyfans and returning veterans in its multiplayer reveal, which showcasedclassic maps from the originalModern Warfare 2game. The game’s multiplayer component is bolstered by several returning weapons from last year’sModern Warfare 2, new weapons, the vest equipment system, and tweaks to overall gameplay. One of the adjustments made toModern Warfare 3is a change in player health from 100 HP to 150 HP, increasing the average time-to-kill across all weapons. However,Modern Warfare 3’scurrent level cap is proving to be detrimental for players who’ve already spent a lot of time in the game.

On Twitter,Call of Dutyesports player and 100 Thieves content creator Sam “Octane” Larew is puzzled by the current level cap inModern Warfare 3, which maxes out at level 55. OtherModern Warfare 3players in the community are equally confused and frustrated by the lack of a prestige system, and some Twitter users are even opting to refund their digital copies of the game as a result. Larew’s Twitter replies are also filled with players who are approaching the level cap and questioningModern Warfare 3’sdaily challenge system, which includes unlockable weapons and gear. Although weapons and gear are still obtainable from challenges, the current level cap means that players are missing out on XP gains for their overall player level until a prestige system is implemented by Sledgehammer Games.
ManyCall of Dutyfans want the series to return to its roots with a traditional prestige mode, allowing players to reset their level at a higher prestige rank and continue leveling up to their hearts' content. Prestige will likely be introduced with the launch ofModern Warfare 3Season 1, which is expected to begin in early December 2023. In the meantime, players may catch up and earn rewards fromModern Warfare 2Season 6inModern Warfare 3.
TheCall of Dutyplayer base typically experiences a surge during the launch of a new season, but it remains to be seen ifModern Warfare 3will benefit from steady growth in its player base this December due to the negativity surrounding the game.Prestige mode is highly valued by theCall of Dutycommunity, so Sledgehammer Games may want to ensureModern Warfare 3Season 1 offers a compelling prestige system that keeps players engaged in multiplayer.
