WARNING! SPOILERS BELOW!
Do you hear that sound? It’s the sound of a dozen Activision executives crying their eyes out over the massive amount of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 information that leaked onto the Internet this morning.
Kotaku was the lucky recipient of this intel, which includes details on the game’s story, multiplayer modes & maps, concept art, and a whole lot more.
Kotaku’s sources confirm the developer triple team of Infinity Ward, Sledgehammer Games and Raven Software are hard at work on Modern Warfare 3. The three teams have come together to create a globe-hopping game that follows up directly from the end of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. All of the loose story threads and the fates of every major character from the first two games will be wrapped up in MW3 along with introducing two new Delta Force operatives: “Frost” and “Sandman.”
This video is a travelogue of all the places you’ll go in Modern Warfare 3 and “how you’ll kill.” Opening with a Russian invasion of New York City, the two-minute video shows the Stock Exchange under siege, a battle on the Hudson River, a terrorist attack in London, fighting in Berlin, spelunking in Parisian sewers and the aftermath of an attack by a Somali warlord. The game’s final fight is said to take place in Dubai.
As far as multiplayer modes go, the well-loved Spec Ops mode returns in based “Mission” and “Survival” (AKA Horde) flavors.
Finally (and perhaps most importantly), Kotaku was able to nail down a release date for Modern Warfare 3: November 8, 2011.
Has the new Mortal Kombat released you from its bloodstained grip yet? Are you ready for more battles against Shang Tsung, Shao Kahn and Goro? How about if they’re fights from the franchise’s “klassic” days?
It’s nearly the weekend, which is exciting, because I’m going to try to get as much gaming done as possible! I know it’ll be beautiful outside. I’ll open the windows, ok??? Oh, and D & D was fun last night – thanks for asking! I didn’t have a character made, so I got to be some hot, pre-made elven rogue. I was super nervous, since I hadn’t played in a really long time, but it was awesome. And now I feel like I’ve got +10 to moxy!
They say that in space, no one can hear you scream. But on Earth, that sound you hear is the utter shock of Alien fans as Sega has revealed they’re working on another game based on the series.
Here’s a bit of a surprise. With Capcom hard at work on Street Fighter X Tekken (the publisher is targeting an early 2012 release date), Namco Bandai has revealed that they haven’t even started working on Tekken X Street Fighter.
