The PlayStation 5 model of Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 doesn’t presently have a platinum trophy, sparking concern in regards to the construction of its launch.
The PS5 model’s trophy record seems related to final 12 months’s Modern Warfare 2, which appears to have been restructured to behave as a hub referred to as Call of Duty HQ.
Yesterday, forward of the launch of Modern Warfare 3’s early entry marketing campaign, IGN reported on Call of Duty’s monumental 234.9GB set up on PS5. This set up contains the unavoidable Call of Duty HQ, the battle royale Warzone, and Modern Warfare 3’s marketing campaign. It doesn’t embody different unreleased elements of Modern Warfare 3 comparable to Multiplayer and Zombies. Players are in a position to delete some elements of the Call of Duty video games to cut back the set up dimension.
Call of Duty HQ now seems to be a launcher from which Call of Duty video games comparable to Modern Warfare 3 could be performed. But the lacking platinum trophy is current and proper on the PlayStation 4 model of Modern Warfare 3, which has its personal trophy menu. This doesn’t seem like a problem on Xbox, both. Over on Steam, there’s a considerably weird state of affairs that sees Modern Warfare 3’s Steam achievements listed as Modern Warfare 2 DLC.
All this confusion, and the lacking platinum trophy, could have one thing to do with launch points stemming from Modern Warfare 3’s origins as an enlargement for Modern Warfare 2. Modern Warfare 3 comes out only a 12 months after Modern Warfare 2, breaking the Call of Duty cycle of at the least two years between sub-brand sequels. Activision reportedly initially deliberate for Modern Warfare 2 to see important DLC this 12 months within the type of a premium enlargement, however this plan was modified to place the enlargement as a completely fledged and full priced Call of Duty sequel referred to as Modern Warfare 3.
Equally, it could merely be the by-product of Modern Warfare 3 launching as, primarily, DLC for the rebranded Modern Warfare 2 (now Call of Duty HQ), and thus the PS5 is unable to think about it a ‘sport’ in its personal proper that may have its personal platinum trophy.
Activision declined to remark when contacted by IGN.
