Continuing its new tradition of releasing a new Call of Duty game every year around Christmas time, Activision has announced that Modern Warfare 3 will be in stores this November.

Call of Duty is one of the most powerful brands in the gaming industry. The most recent release, Black Ops, became the fastest-selling video game of all time. The game it beat to score that record was, in fact, another Call of Duty game, Modern Warfare 2.

Because the franchise is nothing but a huge cash cow, Activision has begun to churn them out like butter. Instead of traditional video game series in which a new title is released once every 2-3 years, the publisher has been releasing one every year.

Today's announcement, though, comes as Activision is scrambling to fix serious errors in Modern Warfare 2 and Black Ops. Rampant hacking in the PS3 version of the game is leading to countless online complaints as users find themselves often competing against cheaters who make the entire experience unfair. To date, Activision hasn't found a solution to the problem, or figured out why it is so easy to cheat in the game, but has said it is working on it.

Modern Warfare 3 will pick up where MW2 left off, allowing players the chance to live modern-day combat situations instead of the more traditional war shooters that tend to take place around the World War 2 era.

So far, not much is known about Modern Warfare 3, but we expect to see more details coming soon down the pike.

I will probably still get this... but I'll be playing it alongside Battlefield 3 and Skyrim.

I'm still kind of excited for some details on MW3 though.

I think I'll skip this and buy BF3 instead.

CoD fanboys gonna hate...

this coming from an 8 post guy who joined march 2009 can you say leech.... STFU and GTFO.... why would you want to buy it with how shitty Black ops is and a company who has made one or two mps before and they sucked.... is making the MP for MW3.... and how would noobs say they wouldnt buy it... your a true dumbass my friend... and 1st Prestiegers WTF .... wtf is a prestiegers its Prestigers... so right there you fail at life on your own... so the people who dont buy MW3 is the people who went BF3 instead.. which in turn so far looks and sounds better then what we have seen of MW3 or heard of MW3 ... so how bout you stop being a leech and get the hell out
