Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is a collaboration between Infinity Ward, Sledgehammer Games and Raven Software.

Every aspect of the game has been expanded. The story begins with a surprise attack on the US by Russia and then jets off around the globe, delivering short, punchy sequences from multiple views - a performance Modern Warfare as a series is famed for.

You'll take on roles within some of the world's most elite fighting forces across 15 missions. Modern Warfare 3 will answer most of the questions that arose from MW1 and MW2. There will be familiar faces, but also new characters to take the series forward from here.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is scheduled to release November 8, 2011.

Be warned though, the site has blown the game's story wide open, so expect major spoilers ahead.

Story:

Modern Warfare 3 story's ties up nearly all loose ends from previous titles, including the final moments of key figures in the series' history. The game will signal the return of popular characters Captain John “Soap” MacTavish and Captain John Price, as well as Vladimir Makarov and Russian informant Nikolai. The story also introduces new characters who appear to be destined for future Modern Warfare games, especially two Delta Force operatives codenamed "Frost" and "Sandman".

The 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.

Soap, Price and Nikolai are laying low in a safehouse in Dharmasala, India, where they are set upon by Makarov’s men. Here, players hop into the boots of Yuri, a loyalist working for Nikolai. The safehouse is compromised, however, and the men are extracted via chopper.

The action then transitions to Manhattan as the Russians are busy pushing the attack with ships in the Hudson River. In retaliation, the U.S. calls in Delta Force and the player assumes the role of the aforementioned Frost.

Following this, you’ll board a Blackhawk and fly over the skyline blasting enemy choppers before approaching the Hudson River, where you must sink the Russian submarine “coordinating the attacks.”

After this, you’ll fly over the city in a Blackhawk, gun down enemy choppers, and fly out to the Hudson where you must sinka Russian sub that is “cooredinating the attacks.”

Additionally, gamers will also control a Russian agent tasked with protecting the Russian president on his journey to sign a peace treaty with the U.S. However, the plane is attacked resulting in the kidnapping of the president, though his daughter ultimately escapes. Unsurprisingly, Makarov isn’t keen on establishing peace between the two countries, and so grabs the launch codes from the President and attacks the U.S.

The action then shifts to Price and co in Africa, where the trio deal with a South African arms dealer before heading to Sierra Leone. We’re then put in control of an SAS chap tasked with stopping the delivery of weapons of “mass destruction” over the London docks.

MW3 depicts several European cities coming under attack, including Hamburg, Germany, where gamers control a tank gunner in an attempt to drive back the Russian forces.

Things come to a close in Dubai, where Yuri, Price and Sandman corner Makarov in his hotel hideaway where the unscrupulous fellow finally meets his maker. A “post-credits level” is apparently also featured, depicting the burning of Washington, D.C.

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.

Modern Warfare 3 Multiplayer Features Battles in Brooklyn, Clash in Mogadishu

Packed with 15 levels set in locations around the world, from Manhattan to the catacombs of Paris, Modern Warfare 3's near-future campaign looks to be an experience that will top anything seen before in a Call of Duty game.

Multiplayer, too, seems to be shaping up to be an experience packed with new maps, experiences and ways to game.

Sources tell Kotaku that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 will have as many as 20 multiplayer maps, though it's unclear if some will be cut before release or perhaps sold later as expansion packs. The game will also include a powerful mix of mission-based and survival Special Ops modes. While the mission-based levels will be designed like the ones made popular in Modern Warfare 2, we're told, the survival maps will have players fighting until they're overcome by increasingly difficult waves of enemies.

While we haven't seen the game in action ourselves, we believe that the imagery is accurate. That doesn't mean things can't change before release.

We've contacted Activision for comment and will update the story when and if they provide reaction.

Modern Warfare 3 in works at Sledgehammer, says analyst

Mike Hickey of research firm Janco Partners has stated his belief that the chaps at Sledgehammer Games are currently hard at work on the next chapter in the Modern Warfare series as opposed to Infinity Ward.

Writing in a research note earlier today, Hickey said that he expects Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 to show up at some point during the 2011 fiscal year, which puts the game on store shelves by March 31, 2012.

Unsurprisingly, the analyst also reckons the sequel will turn in a stellar performance at retail, forecasting sales of 18+ million copies globally.

Said Hickey: "We believe Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 will be released in fiscal '11, likely developed by Sledgehammer Games, and could sell in excess of 18+ million units."

As many are no doubt aware, series creator Infinity Ward ran in to quite a spot of trouble earlier this year, with Internet gossip claiming that up to a whopping 50 percent of staff were believed to have quit the company.

Sledgehammer Games is known to be working on a title in the Call of Duty universe, though according to Activision it’ll take the form of an action-adventure title, prompting widespread speculation that it’ll deviate from the traditional first-person antics of previous entries.

Despite this, one only has to have a quick butcher’s at the firm’s official website to find out that it’s "currently in production on a Call of Duty FPS game."

Elsewhere, Hickey reckons an online-only Call of Duty outing will be released in China around the same time, with a Bungie-developed MMO title arriving some time during the next financial year.
 
Rumor: Sledgehammer and Raven Software helping Infinity Ward on Modern Warfare 3

According to the chaps at the Los Angeles Times, the new Call of Duty title that developer Sledgehammer is currently chiselling away on is none other than Modern Warfare 3.

Apparently, publishing behemoth Activision has signed up the California-based studio to lend a hand in creating the shooter’s single-player campaign alongside franchise heavy weights, Infinity Ward.

Elsewhere, the article also claims that Raven Software will be responsible for crafting the game’s online multiplayer component. Indeed, this aligns neatly with previous reports of a job posting indicating the studio is busy cooking up something pertaining to "an established console-based, realistic, first-person military shooter."

As expected, Modern Warfare 3 is supposedly pencilled in for a November 2011 release, though little else is known on the project. Furthermore, it’s worth remembering that nothing has been officially confirmed as of yet, so treat this with a pinch of salt until we hear otherwise.
 
CoD: Modern Warfare 3 Launch Date Leaked?

A listing from a leaked Tesco database has apparently revealed the release date for what is thought to be Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, which is curiously referred to on the retailer's database as 'Call of Duty: Project Colossus'.

It's currently still up in the air as to which developer will be handling Modern Warfare 3, with Sledgehammer being the present frontrunner, with rumours abound that Singularity dev Raven Software could be on multiplayer detail following the whole Infinity Ward debacle.

According to the leaked listing, Activision will launch Call of Duty: Project Colossus - which is understood to be Modern Warfare 3 - worldwide on November 8th, 2011 - a date that would be in line with previous Call of Duty releases.

Naturally, this is pure speculation, but with rumours flying around that Activision is preparing an imminent reveal for Modern Warfare 3, it looks like we'll learn the truth soon enough, so stay tuned.

I dont want to be fooled by screens, but I must say .... it does look like they upgraded their graphics ... I could be wrong, but I hope not, screens look awesome.

The screens actually show more, but I can't get the full screens, trying to figure out how to get them right now.
 
I love me some COD but my buddies grew tired of it, especially with Black Ops, for which I can't blame 'em.

I'll probably be playing BF3 instead, due to not having any friends to play COD with.
