Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is bringing war back home. Following the events of Modern Warfare 2 where… well, I know someone betrayed someone else, and there was something about nukes. Was there a knife or a hand-to-hand fight on a cliff? Something like that happened.
Anyway after those memorable events led to a satisfying climax, the world has been thrown into chaos, and the war has spread to Europe and America. To be more specific: America, England, France and Germany.
Anyway, a trailer just premiered last night on ESPN (war’s a sport, right?) that shows off the different locations. Watch it and feel if you get the impression that the developers want you to cheer as your home country is featured on screen being shot to pieces. The destruction is certainly impressive but then again, the unplayable sequences in Call of Duty usually are.
This is the first Modern Warfare game that Infinity Ward didn’t finish- after their very public dispute with Activision new studio Sledgehammer Games was commissioned to finish the game. Let’s see if they can bump up the gameplay a bit and make an exciting campaign. After all, the series has some big competition in the upcoming Battlefield 3.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 hits November 8th.

This isn’t “modern warfare”, it’s fantasy nonsense. I liked this series when it was about elite, swift tactical incursions and black ops missions. Now it’s this depressing WW3 scenario where the combat is all about shock and awe. I for one can’t hear myself think when the game play takes place in that kind of oppressive din, as my experience with CRYSIS 2 made clear. This series is losing it’s edge and moving away from what made it interesting in the first place
and look who’s back.
…and look who’s back.
sorry, Matrix glitch.
Kate’s actually right though, it’s not Modern Warfare, it’s near-future hypothetical warfare. Hate Kate or whatever, but she actually has a point here.
i don’t hate Kate.
regarding MW3 – i agree with both of you that this series seems to get more ridiculous with every entry… but to me the series always felt like playing a Michael Bay fantasy, even the games set in ww2. To me games like “Splinter Cell” or “Ghost Recon” are better examples for what Kate describes.
…and MW1 can also be described as ” near-future hypothetical warfare”.
