Stop reading now if you like to keep an air of mystery in your Modern Warfare. Thanks to some strange dealings or peculiar good fortunes, Kotaku has got what it calls an “Exclusive” on Modern Warfare 3. What it actually appears to be is some stolen information that has been leaked out to them via various unnamed third parties.
According to the “gamer’s guide”, Modern Warfare 3 starts moments after the cliffhanger ending of Modern Warfare 2 and takes players around major cities like New York, London and Paris to engage in large scale battles. They say that the game will feature around 15 missions in the single player mode, which again takes shape as a series of disjointed missions played through the eyes of various characters (including returning characters). The game supposedly begins with a surprise russian invasion of Manhattan and reaches its climax in Dubai.
The multiplayer side of things is said to include as many as 20 maps (although some might be planned for DLC release) and feature all the usual modes and systems with a couple of new additions like a survival mode that sees characters take on waves of increasingly strong enemies.
Those are the – already quite spoiler filled – key points but in addition, Kotaku have posted what amounts to the entire design document for the single player campaign’s level structure and progression. We won’t post that here but if you’re keen to know what’s possibly going to happen in a game before you play it then feel free to click through and read all the spoilers you could want.

“It’s just like playing the game, without the fun.”
Uh … Saves me a few pound on rental, I save time, I keep up with the story and I don’t embarrass myself with my (non existent) skills. For me, a win-win.

Is it ironic that come November some people will probably have read 10 or so hours worth of text to describe a game that takes less then half that time to play through the story that’s being describe in that text.

What is with Gawker sites doing anything for hits lol… Can Activision not ask them to take it down? I’m not going to get the game myself but I kinda feel bad for IW now (not Activision they can rot).

Why post the entire story months before the release? surely it is a better experience to discover the plot as you go along.

true but this sin’t exactly a well written story anywy and for most people it just doesn’t matter. its all about set peices and the online

You are right but realistically MW isn’t about the experincece of the Single player campaign is it? Its all about the online, I don’t know 1 single person who has ever finished the SP or even started it lol. I would personally be surprised if there was more people interested in th SP than MP.
I’ll be buying it for 1 thing…. The online! I’ll leave the deep interesting story’s for other games. Uncharted,resistance and la noire I’m looking at yous!

I read it and it jumps about all over the place as expected by one or two TSA members.
I expect another ‘No Russian’ media saga over one of the segments from some idiots who STILL dont realise its just a game…, most likely not the same people who have been hearing what has been happening in certain middle eastern and African countries which is actually real (most likely the same people who traded in PS3 for 360 so they could get their COD murder fix)

To me ‘no spoilers’ mean saying anything about the plot, proposed set pieces regarding locations, characters in the game.
Please stop posting any on these.
