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 comes under fire from British tabloids

British tabloid newspaper the Daily Mail has accused Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 of depicting “a chilling echo of the 7/7 terrorist attacks in London.”

The article refers to a scene from the MW3 gameplay reveal trailer released earlier this week, which features numerous attacks on major cities across the globe, including an apparent assault on the London Underground.

Furthermore, the Daily Mail claims that a number of people affected by the 2005 bombings are calling for the Infinity Ward-developed military shooter to be banned.

Mediawatch UK’s Vivienne Pattison was quoted saying she has “concerns” over the footage as “these games are hyper-real” and the setting is familiar. “In light of the fact we have just had the 7/7 inquests, it is in incredibly poor taste,” she said.

Call of Duty has found itself scrutinized by the UK media on numerous occasions in the past, the most notable of which focusing on the controversial Modern Warfare 2 ‘No Russian’ stage which sparked live debates on TV chat shows.
 
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Preview – Deadfest at Tiffany’s

“Breakfast at Tiffany’s” and “Wall Street” are both often held as classic pieces of cinema for their time. What happens though when you take the beloved stages for those stories, throw in a bunch of Russian invaders with guns and get Michael Bay on board to direct a John Milius screenplay based there? You get Modern Warfare 3, that’s for sure, and Infinity Ward and Sledgehammer’s sequel is looking to pull no punches this coming November. They lost their “biggest entertainment launch ever” crown to Black Ops last year and they want it back. It doesn’t get any more straightforward than that.

I know what you’re thinking, “Yes, we’ve seen the foreign occupation of America before in Homefront,” but in Modern Warfare 3, the foreign occupation is everywhere... even France! At a recent unveiling in London, IW’s Robert Bowling and Sledgehammer’s Glenn Schofield took to the stage to show off two different levels of the sequel to the 2009 smash hit. Although we got to get a glimpse at London and New York – and we know we’re heading to France and Germany too – Bowling also revealed that we can expect to head to Russia, Africa and the Himalayas as well. Get those passports at the ready.

Picking up directly after the events of Modern Warfare 2, we join Sandman and his Delta Team as they head into the foreign occupied New York city – specifically Wall Street – in a mission called, “Black Tuesday.” It’s your typical combat-orientated Call of Duty mission, with explosions, reams of soldiers to plough through and decimation around every corner. How it differs though is quite easily its setting. Crysis 2 may have done a fine job of destroying New York in its epic sci-fi campaign, but there’s something more terrifying about watching buildings tumble and debris drop from the surrounding iconic locations from the perspective of a normal crew of soldiers. Even rolling through various unknown buildings that’ve seen better days with collapsed floors and downed choppers encased in them is a pleasure.

Moving down toward the New York Stock Exchange, it’s clear that Infinity Ward have put extra care into carving out these traditional Call of Duty moments in more familiar settings – you know, not some random cave or field in Outer Mongolia. In the first 10 minutes alone, we see the Delta squad fight its way toward the Stock Exchange, engaging in intense close quarters combat inside Tiffany’s, rallying the support of a convoy of APCs outside a Western National Bank which we assume is on Broad Street, brushing shoulders with the exterior of the Crown Building and then fighting at the base of the huge US flag of the mission’s final destination: the Stock Exchange building. It’s iconic stuff.

Granted, I might not have much of a knowledge of guns these days – the judge told me to drop that fascination after that incident with an air-rifle and the anus of my next door neighbour’s cat – but it looked like Infinity Ward were not only flicking scopes on the fly depending on the range of their target, but they’d also included a few new weapons – one acting like a grenade launcher of sorts with huge explosions, even bigger splash damage and high-velocity projectiles that rarely show any signs of slowing down or dipping below their original trajectory. Other than that though, it was the usual array of red-dot scoped assault rifles that took on the majority of the action. A quick refill of ammo in the lobby of the Stock Exchange and our fearless crew were fighting amongst the ticker machines and screens of the main floor of the Stock Exchange. Infinity Ward may have had many familiar locations like this before – like in COD4 for instance – but none quite as iconic as the NYSE.

From there the battle took to the Stock Exchange roof, with the Delta squad tasked with taking down a satellite mast that’s acting as a jammer for the occupying forces. In typical Call of Duty style though, the squad are asked to clear the area for a friendly chopper, enlisting the help of a Reaper Drone to blast the legions of enemy soldiers on various other rooftops to smithereens – presented in thermal vision and takes the form of user controlled missiles. After using the Reaper Drone to take down an enemy bird that comes on the scene, we find our main man jumping into a friendly Blackhawk to take position at a gun emplacement to mow down enemy soldiers and enemy choppers that appear on the scene. With Hinds coming in left, right and centre, each of them plucked out the sky with relative ease, we’re left watching the Blackhawk dance around a newly constructed building skeleton with an enemy bird in its sights before taking in the huge explosion that comes as a result of the steady aim of the man on the chain gun. The first stage of the demo ends with a chopper collision that sees the Delta squad’s pilot nearly dice with death, before pulling out of a potentially sticky situation and fleeing to safety.

The next mission, “Mind the Gap,” is one of Call of Duty’s traditional covert ops missions… well, at least it starts out that way! So from New York in the day, a city smoldering at the hands of the Russians, we head to the docks in Canary Wharf, London, under he cover of night, sneaking through back alley after back alley, silently disposing of any guard who happens to be unlucky enough to cross their path. From a Brit’s standpoint, I have to say that London didn’t have the same unique feel to it like New York did and if it wasn’t for One Canada Square’s iconic glowing peak in the skyline, you’d be hard pressed to pinpoint where in the world it was, yet alone the UK. We assume that’ll change as we get into more iconic locations, but if there’s one thing that the London and New York level showed us, it’s that although Modern Warfare 3 isn’t a huge graphical step up over its predecessor, it does boast some much improved textures.

A familiar voice, Gaz I do believe, accompanies the soldiers as all hell breaks loose and the team blow their cover by diving out a series of second floor windows. If that hadn’t have blown their cover, the assisting attack chopper surely would have, and the teams look to take down and search a series of trucks that were holed up in the dock area. It’s your traditional high-intensity, fast-paced shooter action from here on out as hostiles flood the area with the odd-scripted moment of chaos thrown in for good measure – like an explosion taking out a stack of pipes on the far hand side. After searching one of the trucks the hostiles begin to flee and the covert ops team are tasked with chasing down their targets into a nearby Tube station.

The majority of the London sequence, ironically enough, took place underground in the Tube tunnels – or subway tunnels to any non-Londoner. It’s another trademark Call of Duty cinematic set-piece that sees the covert ops squad throw two fingers up at being stealthy and chase down a train in a couple of jeeps. It’s an on-rails section that has more cheap thrills and explosions than a U2 concert and ends with the typical “Uh oh” moment – something that’s best experienced and not spoiled by these here words. You can expect everything though, from close calls and racing through a crowded Tube station, to drama and lots of loud noises and explosions. It won’t disappoint.

More of the same and then some seems to be Infinity Ward and Sledgehammer’s approach with the sequel then, but this time with a more urban warfare edge to it than ever before. So that’s more explosions, more soldiers to plough down than ever before, more crazy set-pieces, more action, more iconic locations and possibly more importantly, more helicopters than you could possibly imagine. Watch out, it’s like a helicopter graveyard out there! They were everywhere!

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is scheduled for a November 8th release.
 
Sounds like they're just going off of what they did in mw 2 but to the extreme lol. I could care less that it's actually going through real landmarks and all these explosions. It doesn't pull me in and gain mt attention like a movie does. It's a game, not some summer blockbuster movie

No campaign co-op in Modern Warfare 3

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 will not feature campaign co-operative play, it has been confirmed. This is despite recent reports to the contrary.

Infinity Ward creative strategist Robert Bowling took to Twitter yesterday to debunk the rumours, clarifying that previous communication had been misinterpreted. All talk of co-op was "in reference to Special Ops coming back in #MW3 with new modes and features," he said. There will not be any campaign co-op.

Which is a shame, isn't it? Still, Special Ops and the team multiplayer modes should scratch that social itch.
 
MW3's Spec Ops Mode Detailed

Bothered about the lack of co-op in Modern Warfare 3's campaign? Don't be, because Infinity Ward and Sledgehammer have got you covered. This year they're paying particular attention to the game's co-operative Spec Ops mode.

Speaking to USA Today, Infinity Ward creative strategist Robert Bowling revealed that Spec Ops will feature a new ranking system, matchmaking system and leaderboards. He also said that the new Survival Mode will take place in the game's multiplayer maps, as opposed to the single-player maps as before.

"All that stuff really fleshes out Spec Ops and adds in a lot that we know our fans are going to love, some of the most addictive aspects of Multiplayer," said Bowling.

The intention is for Spec Ops to act as a kind of training ground for those who are hesitant to make the jump to multiplayer, according to Sledgehammer boss Michael Condrey.

"There's such hard-core players out there in the online community and you hear all the stories about the eight-year-olds, 12-year-olds and 13-year-olds swearing and ruining the experience," he said.

"With Spec Ops, you can really get in there and hone your skills in a more confined environment. I think it's a little more of an easy entry. I don't have as much time as I did when I was 20 to be honing my twitch skills, but this certainly gives me a venue to experiment."

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 hits PlayStation 3 on the 8th November.
 
Consumers are used to paying $60 each for videogames that run on consoles like the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Now the publisher behind the industry's biggest videogame franchise— "Call of Duty"—is about to find out whether it can get them to pay a monthly bill, too.
Activision Blizzard Inc. plans to launch an online service called Call of Duty Elite this fall that will work with the next major edition of the game, "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3," and future installments of the hyper-realistic combat-simulation game. In a move industry executives describe as a first, Activision plans to charge a monthly subscription fee for the service, which will provide extra content that isn't offered on game discs sold in stores, including downloadable map packs that give players new "Call of Duty" levels to play.
Activision executives said they haven't yet figured out how much to charge for the service, but they expect the cost to be less than fees for comparable online-entertainment services, such as a $7.99-a-month Netflix Inc. movie subscription. Portions of the service will be free, including features inspired by Facebook Inc. that will let "Call of Duty" players meet for online gun battles with others who share various affiliations and interests.
