Information below is based on rumours. New content is RED

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3

Developer - Infinity Ward/Sledgehammer Games (Single player). Raven Software (Multiplayer)
Publisher - Activision
Release - 8th November 2011
Platform - PC, Xbox 360 & PlayStation 3

The 8th game in the Call of Duty franchise is due out in November of 2011; it is the 3rd, and possibly final, installment from the Modern Warfare series. The single player campaign is mainly developed by Infinity Ward, with help from Sledgehammer Games; Raven Software have been brought in to help with the Multiplayer side of the popular FPS game.

Single Player

The storyline will continue on from the aftermath of Modern Warfare 2. Russia have invaded the USA and it is up to you to save the day. Footage from E3 (in the spoiler below) shows you running through the streets of Manhattan to get to Wall Street, fighting off various Russians along the way. Along with NYC; London, Paris and part of Africa have also been confirmed as other locations in the single player campaign.

Captain John "Soap" MacTavish, former SAS Captain John Price and Russian informant Nikolai are still on the after their exploits in MW2. Makarov is expected to remain the supervillian of the piece. New characters include Derek "Frost" Westbrook and Sandman, a pair of Delta Force operatives in New York; Marcus Burns, a Sergeant in the Special Air Service fighting in London; and Yuri, a Russian federal security agent.

------------------------------------------------------

Spec Ops

Expanding on the mode introduced in MW2, Spec Ops hopes to add something new to the franchise. The traditional mode from MW2 is back, however there is a new mode called "Spec Ops Survival" added this time around. In it, you and a friend spend your time fighting off wave after non-stop wave of ever increasingly difficult enemies, earning different bonuses along the way to help you both out. Although it sounds like a basic rip-off of other modes in other games, reviews from E3 tend to say it was an enjoyable experience.

Just quickly looking through the trailer, seeing what there is, I've seen:

M4 Carbine (visible at :12)

M16(A4?) (visible at :13)

Dual Scopes (I believe on the M16 there is an ACOG sight that has a Holographic Sight in front of it, correct me if I'm wrong)

Hind choppers (as always)

Some form of an MP5 variant (visible at :17 and :19, not completely sure though, because the banana clip is making me think it could be an AK47. However these could both be there, MP5 first, then AK47.)

There's two guns I can't really figure out at :35. The guy on the left looks like he has a FAMAS, but the guy on the right I have no clue. And he has a silencer on his rifle.

Rappeling (probably SP only)

UAV at :42

RPD at :51 (guy in front, pretty hard to see from the darkness though)

Definite AK47 at :53

Very quickly at 1:05, the guy is blindfiring a G36 (recognizing the back of the rifle from CoD4)

Another rifle at 1:06 (left guy), no clue as to what.

Swimming at 1:08?

AC-130 at 1:09 (with COLOR this time

)

Minigun at 1:11

Driviable vehicles from 1:11-1:15 (boats and cars, hell, maybe well got tanks or cars or something in MP?)

That's all I could see. Just figured I'd take a closer look as to what is in the game.

pantstofry · 05-23-2011, 11:07 PM

So i just saw the gameplay on the tv commercial... WW3, yay. To be honest, it really interested me. I still won't preorder or anything, but it definitely looks interesting.

(gee, sound familiar? still, it looks slightly different from past CoD games. I think. I hope. Guys? Please? Be different?)

SP always looks badass and awesome and stuff, I need to see what's going down in MP, if it's different at all...

Keegs · 05-24-2011, 03:25 AM

Omg the AC-130 is back <3

I'm pretty excited to see what else this game is going to have. To me the survival mode sounds awfully similar to zombies.

Oh and make sure you highlight everything you edit in

Cloud · 05-24-2011, 12:08 PM

Grand old job you duck billed legend.

Platy · 05-24-2011, 04:56 PM

On reflection, this could be moved (and stickied*cough*) in the "Other CoD Games" section. Forgot that we had it on this site.

@Keegs; I shall do when new information is found out. Last night's edit was purely for cosmetic reasons.

On a note of the guns, I have labelled them from what they were called in the original screenshot's name. I re-uploaded the screenshots incase they got removed. The dual scope that you noticed in the video, Clix, feature on the M4's screenshot.

pantstofry · 05-24-2011, 07:17 PM

AC-130? Awwwww yum

Edit: and do we know anything about LMGs yet? I'm currently SMG'ing in in Blops but I usually do better with an LMG in IW games.

Also... will they keep stopping power out? I'd assume so, right?

I remember when your sig and avvy were all AC130 things.

LMG's, as I said in my earlier post, the only one I think I spotted was an RPD.

Perks we don't know about yet, and won't till either they're leaked, someone gets their hands on a copy early, or the MP trailer comes out.

But I'd kind of hope SP would still be out. Though I would see it being there if the guns aren't AS balanced as Blops (and not as UNbalanced as MW2). If weapon damage returns to pre-Blops levels, I can see it returning.

pantstofry · 05-24-2011, 10:50 PM

How about they pick up where Treyarch dropped the ball, and integrate SP to all weapons so that the dmg multipliers make sense?

OzballO · 05-25-2011, 10:36 AM

Or not involve SP at all?

Jomick · 05-25-2011, 04:07 PM

We'll find out eventually.

pantstofry · 05-25-2011, 04:41 PM

Leaving SP out would be fine with me, but then they need to make sure the damage multipliers make sense then.

Stole an article on the Spec Ops mode for 402's Twitter and added it.

Pops up (at least to me) on a white screen saying "Bad Request"

Platy · 05-27-2011, 07:57 PM

Should be fixed.

jamesmsv · 05-30-2011, 06:51 AM

You've got to hand it to IW, the trailer for MW3 looks more exciting that the whole Black Ops game. Beautiful graphics too, those gun skins are awesome.
Nice work Platy, I was waiting for November for BF3 but am now excited about this game too.

Platy · 05-30-2011, 08:14 AM

I must be one of the few people who isn't at all interested in this game. The trailer put me off even more tbh; not even slightly interested in a linear, scripted, set-piece filled, over-the-top, America beats the odds again, dull FPS game.

Not to mention the repetitive, 3-choke points per map, same fight every time, overpowered killstreak infested, whining pre-pubescent kid filled MP.

Wait how do you know what the maps look like? Plus there's going to be pre-pubescent kids in any M rated game. Sure it's probably not gonna be much better, but I'm with james, it does look pretty good. My friend told me if you pre-order you get the first map pack free...? I dunno if thats true, but if it is, those bastards are sneaky. I might preorder, oh well, fuck it, even though these games can turn out to be kinda shitty I still have fun with them.

Skuh · 05-30-2011, 11:57 AM

I would put my mortgage on the map pack not being free. My Reasoning. Simple. It is Activision.

Because I've played the previous 4 CoD's on console. Same everytime, just with a different skin. They won't change their "winning" formula. Learn the choke-points, game is done. Simple FPS gaming.

You get DLC free if you pre-order BF3. No pre-order deals have been announced for MW3.

Yeah he was talking about BF3. As for the prepubescent kids, I had to stop playing BF cause of that. They fuck up BF more than they do on COD. Anyhow, why bother posting info if it's going to be exactly the same as you say
