E3 2011: Modern Warfare 3 video shows 13 minutes of in-game action
It’s been a surprisingly quiet showing for Activision this year. Beyond the boatmania of the first in-game demo that kicked off the Microsoft press conference, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 received relatively little attention. Thankfully for fans of the series, Game Trailers have a further 13 minutes of footage, showing a new mission called Black Tuesday. It shows a squad of US soldiers fight down the war-torn streets of Manhattan shouting things like “we need to maintain the timeline!” and “hit the Exchange!” and features an awesome new rifle, with a secondary scope that can be flipped into action to take on more distant enemies.
Infinity Ward say they’re currently “having conversations” about adding dedicated server support and mod tools to the PC version of the game. That would be great, but it’s hard to see how player-run maps and modded modes will fit with the social networking features of Call of Duty Elite. The game’s due out on Septermber 8.
