Gameplay
World War 3 is a modern military first-person shooter set in the global conflict of a catastrophic future. World War 3 features large-scale combined arms battles with infantry, armored vehicles and drones. The multiplayer mode has been designed to allow for a more tactical gameplay style in comparison to other first-person shooters like Battlefield. Close-quarters tactical teamplay, an advanced ballistics system, full-body awareness, vehicle physics, and extensive customization all contribute to the authenticity of the modern combat experience, enhanced by other essential elements such as advanced armours and real-world weapons.[4][5] Developer The Farm 51 commented that World War 3 aims for as much realism as possible without compromising gameplay: "One of our goals with World War 3 is to offer realistic simulations with an altogether enjoyable experience. We call this playable realism."[6]
