Everything you need to know about Modern Warfare 3

The Interwebs are buzzing about MW3.  As a conservative estimate, this will probably be one of the biggest selling video games of all time, or at least until MW4.  The story details have been leaked at Kotaku, which honestly feels like finding out the leaked storyline of a Michael Bay film.  One can only assume a poorly told story, that bounces from the perspective of different characters, and many different theaters of war.  Don't expect a smooth transition cohesion between fronts; Modern Warfare is about choppiness.  I wouldn't doubt if you see several running and jumping/diving into moving helicopter action scenes as well as a weak sniper mission.  Supposedly the story picks up where Modern Warfare 2 left off (I forgot too) with the hunt for the evil Russian villain.  Like a Transformers movie, this video game will be lots of fun and light on substance. 

The good people over at the Firearm Blog have done a nice write up of the weapons that will be used in the game.  Some notable additions include the  Magpul hidden gun (that I've been emailed about 8,000 times from a Shotshow several years back) as well as the new Keltec shotgun.  Unfortunately, the Winchester 1887 will also be making return; n00bs rejoice.  Click the link above for the full list.

Four different teaser trailers have been released.  All show a green wire frame of a major city in an allied country (US, France, Germany, and England) being attacked or on the verge of attack; there isn't too much to glean beyond that.  I would assume those countries would be where some of the action takes place as well as a few spots in Soviet Russia. 

Overall, I'm really looking forward to Modern Warefare 3.  Call of Duty has become quite stale (I haven't touched it in months) and MW3 surely won't dissapoint.  I have high hopes for the mulitplayer version as it promises 20 maps and a unique Spec Ops mode.  Within Spec Ops there are two different styles, Survival and Mission.  My guess is that survival is a zombie style overwhelming type game and Mission would involve either tortillas or building a church with Indians some kind of planting bomb/destroying objective.  The new weapons and hopefully the return and improvement of the challenges/unlocks from MW2 will really make the multiplayer version epic.

The big video game convention E3 isn't too far out, and should release a ton more info.  Stay tuned for more details.

Remington ACR (CODMW2) Leaked Footage

You may have seen the Remington ACR in Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2.  This gun looks absolutely amazing, and there has been some leaked footage (from Shot Show) which is almost enough to make me move to a free state.  Enjoy the vid.
