According to Eurogamer, several sources have pegged the release date as being November 8, which is the second Tuesday in November. This won't come as a huge surprise to anybody, given that the previous two Call Of Duty games have also been released on the second Tuesday in November.

(CNN) -- Activision Blizzard is set to launch a new "Call of Duty" game for consoles alongside an ambitious digital platform later this year, Activision Publishing CEO Eric Hirshberg said on the company's earnings call Monday.

Executives have expressed an especially keen excitement about the new platform features.
They named "Call of Duty" as one of the two "significant investments" that Activision is making, which will include the company's largest marketing campaign, Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick said on the call. (The other investment is in PC developer Blizzard, which is working on "Diablo III" and a new massively multiplayer online game franchise unrelated to "World of Warcraft.")

"This year's 'Call of Duty' initiatives will result in the best 'Call of Duty' experiences we have created to date," Kotick said. In addition to paid features integrated into the platform, "You will see a lot of new services and capabilities that will be provided free of charge to all of our customers," he said.

The "Call of Duty" online service has been in development for two years under the name Project Beachhead, Hirshberg said. The company created a separate group, also called Beachhead, to focus full attention on the project, Kotick has said previously.

Activision will begin briefing reporters in San Francisco later this week about the project under nondisclosure agreements. The company plans to make a formal announcement in the next several weeks, Kotick said. Still more details are expected in June for the Electronic Entertainment Expo.

That a new entry in the "Call of Duty" series will be released this year isn't a bombshell. Activision has introduced a new game in that franchise each year since 2005. The most recent, "Call of Duty: Black Ops," was the top-selling game in the United States and Europe over the last three months.

"Black Ops" still draws fervent crowds for its multiplayer features and continues to sell well.

But that experience has been hampered by Sony Computer Entertainment's shutdown of the PlayStation Network, with the online gaming service approaching three weeks of downtime this week. Activision intends to release a download package for "Black Ops" in the next three months. "Hopefully the situation will be resolved by then," Hirshberg said.

Cliff Bleszinski, the design director for Epic Games, which makes another popular shooting franchise called "Gears of War," said he has doubts about "Call of Duty's" viability. "'Call of Duty' is doing well right now, but if I was one of the owners of that property, I'd be concerned about potential fatigue," he said in a recent interview.

This year's new installment may be called "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3" and debut in November, according to a report in the Los Angeles Times. "The game has exceeded every internal milestone," Hirshberg said on Monday's call.

Modern Warfare 3 Rumors: Bigger Story, Environmental Destruction

Yesterday, we opined on the increasing likelihood of the release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 in November. Today, Kotaku filled in some general game details on the not-announced game.

According to Kotaku's sources, MW 3 will continue Modern Warfare 2's story, exploring the aftermath of the invasion of the USA detailed in MW2. The involvement of other nations in the war could result in World War 3. According to the source, Modern Warfare 3 will have an urban setting, including "military vehicles, including tanks, rolling through suburban streets." Returning characters could include John "Soap" MacTavish and Captain John Price.

The main gameplay change will reportedly lie in the scope of the game. It's going to be huge, taking place on large, destructible urban maps. Hmmm... big maps and destructible environments. Those features are the hallmarks of the Battlefield games, and with the amazing-looking Battlefield 3 slated for a fall release, it's looking like a head-to-head battle between the two most 'core shooter game franchises on earth is heating up.

What kind of things would you like to see in the next MW game? If you had to choose either Battlefield 3 or the next Modern Warfare game, which one would you pick?

The Modern Warfare 3 Files: Exclusive First Details on the Biggest Game of 2011



Brian Crecente — Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is coming Nov. 8, 2011, Kotaku has learned, delivering with it mammoth battles that engulf a dozen cities around the world including New York, Paris and London.

Multiple sources have shared details of the game's story, art, sounds and game modes with Kotaku, noting that the game will reshape the landscape of the Call of Duty franchise, bringing an impressive number of eclectic settings, deep multiplayer gaming and a story that ties up nearly all loose ends from previous titles, including the final moments of key figures in the series' history.
While we haven't seen the game in action ourselves, we've gone to great lengths to nail down as much as possible the veracity of our sources. We believe that the imagery and chief details are accurate. That doesn't mean things can't change before release, but this appears to be a full run down of where Infinity Ward, Sledgehammer Games and Raven Software is on Modern Warfare 3 as they add the final polishing touches.

The game opens moments after the cliffhanger ending of Modern Warfare 2 with the U.S. struggling to stave off a surprise Russian attack. The single-player campaign will ping-pong players around the world as they take on the multiple throwaway roles as a Russian Federal Protective Services agent, SAS Operative, tank gunner, and AC-130 gunner as well as key characters from previous installments and new recurring characters. The game will feature about 15 missions, kicking off with the invasion of Manhattan by a Russian force and wrapping up with a final encounter in Dubai.

The plot, as described, seems to be keeping with developer Infinity Ward's habit of delivering complex, short sequences punctuated by lots of gunfire and scene changes. The game also has players take control of several vehicles, returning gamers to the AC-130 gunship as a gunner and plopping them down in a tank as part of a U.S. Armored Division.

The single-player campaign, which appears to wrap up most of the unanswered questions and character fates of the first two Modern Warfare titles, also introduces new characters who appear to be destined for future Modern Warfare games, especially two Delta Force operatives codenamed "Frost" and "Sandman".

Multiplayer in the game returns with a chunky list of playable maps as well as two types of Spec Ops modes: "Survival" and "Mission".

Activision, the series' publisher, still hasn't officially unveiled any details about the game, though executives have said that a new Call of Duty game was coming this year. Last year's Call of Duty: Black Ops, developed by Treyarch, sold more than 7 million copies in the first 24 hours and within six weeks reached $1 billion in sales.

We've contacted Activision for comment and will update the story when and if they provide reaction.



Modern Warfare 3 Multiplayer Features Battles in Brooklyn, Clash in Mogadishu
Packed with 15 levels set in locations around the world, from Manhattan to the catacombs of Paris, Modern Warfare 3's near-future campaign looks to be an experience that will top anything seen before in a Call of Duty game. More »

We've been gentle so far in our revealing of what we know about Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. We've tip-toed through the minefield of spoilers, and tried to reveal only facts anyone would want to know.

I've heard some rumors that they have gone back to PC for the lead SKU so that they can attempt to compete with battlefield in the visual sense

No DG. No.


So apparently the info for that big post above that Bassani admired was actually leaked information.

A lot of hype & a lot of leaked info on #MW3, some still accurate, some not. To avoid spoiling the experience, I'd wait for the real reveal.
So then 402 said he reluctantly released these vids even though they did not plan on putting them out yet.

http://fzt.me/MW3now Wasn’t planned, but you’re clearly hyped, so here is the 1st of many Modern Warfare 3 videos coming in hot today! #MW3
So all-in-all good for us who are eager for info.

LOL. You know I will Grifter.

I didn't want to 'dumb' them down. They are supposed to show off the upgraded graphics. So I left it as is.

More green footage.....

[RUMOR] Kotaku Leaks MW3 Info

A ton of info for the yet-to-be announced Modern Warfare 3.



Please be aware that this does contain MASSIVE SPOILERS. Although we will try our best to make it clear where Single Player is discussed and where Multiplayer is also talked about, continue reading at your own discretion. If you wish to avoid campaign spoilers but don't mind other bits, we recommend skipping futher down the page. Also note that we will not include every bit of info or every single image, so you might want to head over to Kotaku itself for the full (and spoiler-ish) coverage, including a video of artwork along with voice over recordings.

Remember that what you read below is leaked details regarding an unannounced game, so take it all with a pinch of salt until anything is actually confirmed.
Single Player
Apparent Call of Duty: Elite

Kotaku starts off by mentioning how they've dodged all the spoilers and only talked about stuff that is pretty self-explanatory and doesn't contain any spoilers, but how that would all change right now. They've gathered these details from multiple sources and although they've not seen the game in action their-selves, they've seen dozens of images along with voice over recordings.

Now here's where all the plot spoilers begin, so you have been warned...

According to Kotaku, Modern Warfare 3 will begin where the second game finished when the US is under siege by Russian forces, Vladmir Makarov is on the loose, and Captain Josh "Soap" MacTavish and Captain John Price are on the run with Russian informant, Nikolai.

While on the run, the three characters flee to a safehouse in Dharmasala, India, where they are then attacked by Makarov's men. During this firefight, the player will take control of a loyalist who works for Nikolai and is called Yuri. Due to their location in the safehouse being known, the characters then flee via helicopter.

Where next? No other than Manhattan, New York City, where Russia is launching an attack on the city through the use of a fleet of ships that are positioned on the Hudson River. After the United States calls in Delta Force, the player will then take control of a Delta Force operative called Frost. Your commander is a guy named Sandman and your goal is to open the area for a counterattack by taking out a jamming tower that lies on top of the New York Stock Exchange.

While gunning down enemy choppers, Delta Force flies out of New York on a Blackhawk helicopter to the harbor where they will infiltrate and take down a Russian submarine that is believed to be coordinating the attacking. The location for the settings throughout the game is said to be:

Dharmasala, India
New York, New York
A plane transporting the president of Russia
A town in Sierra Leone
London, England
Mogadishu, Somalia
Hamburg, Germany
Paris, France
Prague, Czech Republic
A castle in the Czech mountains
Berlin, Germany
The Kremlin in Moscow, Russia
Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Washington. D.C.

Apparent Call of Duty: Elite

Once the missions based in New York City are completed, the game will then advanced in time half a year, giving players control of an Russian agent who must protect the president of Russia while he flies to signs a peace treaty with the United States. This is a Call of Duty game, so as you'd expect, something goes wrong. Hijackers manage to take control of the plane while they attempt to kidnap the Russian president and his daughter. And although the daughter manages to escape, Makarov gets the launch codes from the president and launches an attack against the United States, preventing a peace treaty.

You're probably thinking "What the hell happened to Price, Soap and Yuri?" It turns out that they're now in Africa hunting for Makarov. After being told by a South African arms dealer that Makarov is trying to buy a shipment of chemical weapons, they went head to Sierra Leone in an attempt to secure the weapons from African militia.

It doesn't stop there though! Now we take control of a SAS operative who has to stop the delivery of weapons of mass destruction at a London dockyard. A firefight erupts and the agents are then chased through the London subway. This level concludes with a series of unmarked trucks that explode in front of the house of Parliament, releasing a deadly chemical agent. This isn't a case of one country against another though. Several European cities and military bases are also hit by Russian-backed terrorist attacks, meaning than the death toll rises to the tens of thousands. The ongoing chemical attacks allows the Russian military to strike across the entire continent.

Deceit. That's what happened with Price and co. when it turns out that the arms dealer who tipped them off about the chemical weapons was lying. They head to Somalia to find and interrogate him, which leads to them discovering that Volk, Makarov's right hand man, is hiding out in Paris.

So far we can gather that the game features a lot of countries all other the world and that Europe is a prominent continent. This time it's Germany's time to get in on the action as players take control of a U.S. tank gunner in Hamburg. The player has to push back a Russian advance backed by armored divisions. Hamburg appears to be losing in the battle and it's then that the story shifts back to Price and co. You'll regain control of Delta Force operative Frost, who leads an assault on Volk's location in the underground catacombs and is assisted by French special forces. AC-130 lovers will be happy, as it's now that you take to the sky's by supporting Frost's ground movements as a gunner.

Apparent Call of Duty: Elite

Once Volk has been captured and interrogated, Frost will then learn that Makarov will be attending a meeting in a Prague hotel. Players will then take control of Yuri once again and will work alongside Soap as they both slip into the Russian-controller city and set-up an ambush for Makarov in a church bell tower. However, Makarov becomes aware of the ambush and he then escapes, leaving Soap, Yuri and Price to fight their way out of the city.

After being led to one of Makarov's headquarters in the Czech mountains by Yuri, the crew then infiltrates and searches the location for clues. They find out that Makarov has the Russian president and is attempting to retrieve the launch codes from him, and also discover that he knows where the president's daughter is located. The player then controls Frost who must find and protect the daughter and then they must escape the war-torn Berlin together. It isn't successful however, as she is captured and flown away. While still controlling Frost, the player then heads to Kremlin where a task force of operatives attack and free the hostages, although Makarov escapes once again.

After plenty of tense action, firefights and twists and turns in a wide variety of locations that span the globe, the final mission takes place in Dubai. It's here that Yuri, Price and Sandman launch an assault on a hotel that is very heavily guarded. They search for Makarov, find him, and finally kill him after all this time. The game doesn't seem to be over yet however, as Kotaku mention that there appears to be a post-credits level that features the burning of Washington, D. C. Post-credit levels aren't much of a surprise though, as previous Call of Duty's have included them. Call of Duty 4 had the infamous Mile High Club while Black Ops allowed players to take control of influential Government officials who have to fight for their lives in a Zombie-filled Pentagon.
Multiplayer and Special Ops
Apparent Call of Duty: Elite

Multiplayer is the highlight of the franchise and an example as to why so many people buy the games and play them for many months and years. According to Kotaku's sources, the game may well have as many as 20 multiplayer maps, but as they note, some of these maps may be scrapped before the retail version hits. They also note that the game will see the return of the Special Ops mode, this time with both mission-based and survival levels. Kotaku have been told that the mission-based levels are similarly designed to the ones in Modern Warfare 2, while the survival levels will have players fighting until they're overcome by increasingly difficult waves of enemies, meaning that this could be their way of rival-ring Treyarch's popular Zombie mode.

Below is what's believed to be the map titles:
Multiplayer Maps

Alpha
Alps
Bootleg
Bravo
Brooklyn
Carbon
Coast
Dome
Exchange
Hardhat
Interchange
Lambeth
Meteora
Mogadishu
Paris
Plaza 2
Radar
Seatown
Underground
Village

Spec Ops Modes

Carbon (Survival)
Dome (Survival)
Radar (Survival)
Seatown (Survival)
Village (Survival)
Civilian Rescue (Mission)
Flood the Market (Mission)
Invisible Threat (Mission)
Little Bro's (Mission)
Out of Africa (Mission)
No Fly Zone (Mission)
Wing Man (Mission)

Please note that this article doesn't necessary represent the views of Digital Warfare 24/7 and it should be taken as a rumor and nothing more unless confirmation is given by an official source.
