Modern Warfare 3 Allegedly Developed in Just 16 Months Despite Challenges

Activision Blizzard’s latest “Call of Duty” series, Modern Warfare 3, faced a notably hurried production. Unlike the typical three-year development cycle for Call of Duty games, this installment was wrapped up in just 16 months.

The expedited development cycle for Modern Warfare 3, codenamed Jupiter, resulted in the shortest development period for a new Call of Duty game in years. The team initially envisioned a more modest, Mexico-set spinoff, but the project’s evolution into a direct sequel to Modern Warfare 2 demanded a more extensive and complex narrative, incorporating missions around the globe and featuring the villain Vladimir Makarov.
