The Modern Warfare 3 Files: Exclusive First Details on the Biggest Game of 2011
Avatar for Brian Crecente Brian Crecente —The Modern Warfare 3 Files: Exclusive First Details on the Biggest Game of 2011Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is coming Nov. 8, 2011, Kotaku has learned, delivering with it mammoth battles that engulf a dozen cities around the world including New York, Paris and London.
Multiple sources have shared details of the game's story, art, sounds and game modes with Kotaku, noting that the game will reshape the landscape of the Call of Duty franchise, bringing an impressive number of eclectic settings, deep multiplayer gaming and a story that ties up nearly all loose ends from previous titles, including the final moments of key figures in the series' history.
While we haven't seen the game in action ourselves, we've gone to great lengths to nail down as much as possible the veracity of our sources. We believe that the imagery and chief details are accurate. That doesn't mean things can't change before release, but this appears to be a full run down of where Infinity Ward, Sledgehammer Games and Raven Software is on Modern Warfare 3 as they add the final polishing touches.
The Modern Warfare 3 Files: Exclusive First Details on the Biggest Game of 2011The game opens moments after the cliffhanger ending of Modern Warfare 2 with the U.S. struggling to stave off a surprise Russian attack. The single-player campaign will ping-pong players around the world as they take on the multiple throwaway roles as a Russian Federal Protective Services agent, SAS Operative, tank gunner, and AC-130 gunner as well as key characters from previous installments and new recurring characters. The game will feature about 15 missions, kicking off with the invasion of Manhattan by a Russian force and wrapping up with a final encounter in Dubai.
The plot, as described, seems to be keeping with developer Infinity Ward's habit of delivering complex, short sequences punctuated by lots of gunfire and scene changes. The game also has players take control of several vehicles, returning gamers to the AC-130 gunship as a gunner and plopping them down in a tank as part of a U.S. Armored Division.
The Modern Warfare 3 Files: Exclusive First Details on the Biggest Game of 2011The single-player campaign, which appears to wrap up most of the unanswered questions and character fates of the first two Modern Warfare titles, also introduces new characters who appear to be destined for future Modern Warfare games, especially two Delta Force operatives codenamed "Frost" and "Sandman".
Multiplayer in the game returns with a chunky list of playable maps as well as two types of Spec Ops modes: "Survival" and "Mission".
Activision, the series' publisher, still hasn't officially unveiled any details about the game, though executives have said that a new Call of Duty game was coming this year. Last year's Call of Duty: Black Ops, developed by Treyarch, sold more than 7 million copies in the first 24 hours and within six weeks reached $1 billion in sales.

The game's final mission occurs in Dubai, where Yuri, Price and Sandman launch an assault on a heavily guarded hotel, eventually finding Makarov and, yes, finally killing him.
It also appears that the game may also include a post-credits level that features the burning of Washington, D. C.

There's a funny quote I heard about the comparison between COD and BF that goes something like this:
Call of Duty Player: "Son of a %$#@%!!! There's a sniper hiding in that building, and he's killing my team!"
Battlefield Player: (calls in an artillery strike) "What building?"

Haha sounds about right.
Im pretty good at COD....on free for all im a badass, but the other game modes are wasted as no one helps on PS3...most people dont even have mics
But its just a boring repetitive game that requires very little skill.
I was happy when black ops took away quick scoping, but so many kids wanted it they bowed to them and put it back in the game....thats pretty much when i stopped playing.
BF is such a better game. You cant be a lonewolf and expect to win, when i play with my mates we never lose, its impossible 8 of us on mic in 2 squads....versus a bunch of kids who are used to playing COD running in and getting smashed haha.
I cant wait for BF3, it looks epic. If its as good as BFBC2 il be happy, but im guessing its going to be 10 times better to be honest. Love it and cant wait for it to be released, il never buy a COD game again now ive rediscovered the BF franchise

Stay Out Of My Brain!
You basically said exactly what i was going to say. While COD does a decent job at keeping up to date on America's current $h!t storms, I don't think there is really anything here that would pin point a conspiracy revelation.
And as far as the Call of Duty franchise is concerned? Probably the most overrated franchise in gaming history. Battlefield is a far superior online experience, and Battlefield 3 is going to conquer all.
