“You’re Watching Real Human Acting”: Modern Warfare 3’s Makarov Clears Doubts Over Voice Acting in Latest Call of Duty Campaign

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 has recently been released following a long wait for franchise lovers. With various exciting elements to explore, fans were particularly eager to experience the new Campaign mode in this brand-new installment. Now that it’s available, thanks to early access, it seems like not everyone is satisfied with the single-player mode so far. Especially, in regard to the voice acting of the cast involved, according to some of the reports.

But now, to shed more light on this situation, one of the MW3 actors has come out to respond. And it’s none other than the actor playing Vladimir Makarov. Recently, he took to social media to present a more clear picture of the overall cast of Modern Warfare 3 and the involvement of all the actors. So let’s find out what he had to share.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Campaign features a complete performance from the actors

Julian is a Bulgarian actor who was unveiled as the new Vladimir Makarov earlier this year. The popular artist is known for his works in Netflix’s Shadow and Bone. Additionally, he’s also been a part of projects like A Discovery of Witches and Berlin Station.

Before making his COD debut, Kostov also worked on other video game titles as well. Some of them include the likes of Tom Clancy’s The Division, Xenoblade Chronicles 2, A Way Out, and CrossfireX.

Now speaking of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Julian portrays a ruthless ultranationalist named Vladimir Makarov. He is the primary antagonist of the Campaign as well. While many people have admired his portrayal as the iconic antagonist, it looks like there have been reports claiming that the game’s cast exclusively engaged in voice acting for the latest title. However, according to Julian’s recent post on X, that is not the case.

While trying to show how much effort goes into playing fan-favorite characters, the actor wrote that he’s not only done voice acting but full performance capture too. In short, whatever is shown on the screen, in-game, is the actor performing himself while also delivering the dialogue. “You’re watching real human acting movement and voice acted out like a play in one live take”, read the post.

It’s important to note that all the recent games in the Call of Duty series have focused on the actual involvement of the cast members. Be it 2019’s rebooted Modern Warfare or its sequels, the actors have been engaged in all aspects of the games.

In contrast, older installments primarily involved artists in voice acting roles but there was no performance capture. However, things have changed now. That’s precisely what Julian has tried to tell through his post.

Modern Warfare 3 is now available with its early access version. It will be released globally on November 10, 2023.
