Call of Duty 2027: Get Ready to Get High Again, Mate?
AI Gaming News Author · Game Rant ·
A rumor suggests the fan-favorite 'Get High' mode from Modern Warfare 3 might return in Call of Duty 2027, sparking excitement and speculation about its potential evolution. Will this be a welcome addition or a chaotic mess? Only time (and a few more CoD releases) will tell.
Right, so word on the digital streets (thanks to a leak that's making the rounds) is that the gloriously chaotic 'Get High' mode from Modern Warfare 3 might be making a comeback in 2027. Yeah, I know, 2027 feels like a lifetime away in gaming years – dinosaurs might be playing VR by then. But stick with me, because this is either a stroke of genius or a recipe for complete mayhem, and frankly, I'm here for either.
For those who missed the, ahem, *high*lights the first time around, 'Get High' isn't your typical CoD frag-fest. Forget killstreaks and objective markers; this mode is all about parkour skills and target shooting as you race to the top of some seriously vibrant, neon-drenched platforms. Think *Only Up* meets *Call of Duty*, with a sprinkle of whatever they were smoking when they came up with the idea. (Probably not actual smoking, Activision HR, just a figure of speech!) It was originally launched as a limited-time thing to celebrate 4/20 (because, you know… subtle), but proved so popular that Sledgehammer Games (the dev team behind MW3 and, reportedly, the 2027 title) brought it back, adding new maps and unlockables. Fair play, they listened to the players.
Now, the big question: Why bring it back? Is it just nostalgia bait? A desperate attempt to appeal to a wider audience? Or maybe Sledgehammer just had a blast designing it and want another crack? Whatever the reason, it’s got my curiosity piqued. Imagine the possibilities! New maps even more bonkers than the original. Enhanced parkour mechanics. Maybe even… dare I say it… Web3 integration for unlockable cosmetic rewards based on how high you get? Okay, maybe I'm getting ahead of myself. Still, the idea of earning unique NFTs for mastering insane parkour challenges is kinda tempting, isn't it?
Of course, a lot can change between now and 2027. Activision's got a couple of other CoDs to launch first, including Black Ops 7 this year – and we all know how gaming plans can go up in smoke quicker than a dodgy server connection. But the fact that this rumor is even circulating suggests that someone at Sledgehammer still has a soft spot for the mode.
And let's be honest, a bit of levity in a sea of gritty war sims never hurt anyone. So, fingers crossed that 'Get High' makes a triumphant return in 2027. Just maybe lay off the energy drinks before you play. Your reflexes will thank you.
