World War 3 is an online multiplayer tactical first-person shooter set amid a modern global conflict. Its battles unfold across locations including Warsaw, Berlin, Moscow and Polyarny, with maps described as reflecting real-world geography. The premise puts coordinated combat at the center: players team up to outgun and outflank opposing forces rather than fight solely as lone infantry.
Combat combines customizable weapons and gear with battlefield tools such as vehicles, drones, gadgets and tactical strikes. Players can serve on foot, drive tanks and other vehicles, or use drones to survey the field. The game also highlights advanced ballistics, full-body awareness and vehicle physics, while extensive weapon-component and cosmetic options let players shape their loadouts and appearance. These systems give its modern-war setting a mix of infantry action and supporting roles.
The listed formats are Tactical Ops, where teams capture points, and Team Deathmatch, which centers on competing for the highest kill count. Both are team-versus-team modes, with Tactical Ops described as 20-versus-20 and Team Deathmatch as 10-versus-10.
