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.
If it's gunna be anything like Modern Warfare 2, get ready for some serious fanboys and trolls. But, also expect some really awesome gameplay.
Seems to be set in a more modern time. Also, the game developers are in the process of finding out why it's so easy to hack their games. So guys, start thinking of ways around this :y:
Activision is slowly sucking the life out of the Cod franchise.
How did that "get out as many sequels out as quick as possible" strategy work out for you with the Guitar Hero franchise after you got your money grubbing hands on it? Oh thats right, you saturated the market,everybody quit buying them, then you canceled the franchise =D
That said, I'll probably get sucked in and suckered into buying another one :cry: I think it is made by a completely new developer for the series though, so I am somewhat intrigued by that
I'm not going to lie i think Medal of honor when i was a young fart was the best shooting game an still is but Call of duty one was far the best. in my opinion.
I'm definitly looking forward to this. I hope Modern Warfare 3 doesn't become a big disappointment. Modern Warfare 2 was amazing so I expect many things come out of Modern Warfare 3
