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 alright, it seems most COD players don’t play the single player campaign anyways……

That’s the only bit I play! :D
Rent it for the story and stay well away from the MP. Five or Six hours of nonsensical shooty entertainment for a few pound. Can’t go wrong.

Really looking forward to this. IW always made the better CoD’s, story and MP wise.

And hopefully Raven can work there magic too. The did a great job with Unreal engine in Singularity.

Is this the same IW that either left or got sacked by Acti (Seriously)?

The IW that stayed on. Anyone else that left went to Respawn games.

Will it have destructible terrain , teamwork and better graphics this time ? Of course not , Battlefield kicks this games ass every time but this will get its usual 9/10 and the superior Battlefield will get an 8/10. Fanboy and proud of it !

Better graphics and destructible environments have been rumoured. Teamwork is all to do with who you play with and if they use headsets.

As much as I’d like to jump on the COD-hating bandwagon, I’m interested to see how the MW story ends.

As long as MW3’s online is lag-free like MW2 and unlike Blops, I’ll be buying. Although I do still think that West and Zampella should win back the rights to the MW series.

So do I but Activision will never ever let them win it back……ever.
