Additionally, the event also mark the first time players can ever use the Ray Gun in Multiplayer. The weapon itself is easily one of the best to use in MW3 Zombies, especially when Pack-a-Punched. Overall, the player who uses the Ray Gun keeps it until death. Those who kill the Ray Gun user receive it themselves. Other than that, the game modes themselves don't stray too far from the actual multiplayer experience.

Overall, the event takes place after the CODmas event, which saw players slinging snowballs at zombies and at each other. With the Holiday season finally over, Call of Duty now shifts focus onto brand new playlists as the new year begins.

2024 will certainly hold some interesting for the Call of Duty franchise as a whole. MW3 will certainly receive more events as one of the most popular shooters on the market right now. Additionally, we might possibly see the release of Call of Duty Black Ops: Gulf War. 2024 is certainly set to be a massive year for the franchise if this rumor hold true.

We look forward to seeing what other events the developers have in store for MW3's Multiplayer.
