FRENZIED SHOOT-EM-UP console monster series Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is about to give birth to a sequel, a controversial follow-up that already has the Daily Mail's granny-pants in a twist.

call-of-duty-modern-warfare-3The game, we learn, will be released on November 8 this year and will see action take place in a range of cities, guns will be involved, natch, as will gunshots and people falling over dead. In case you need to know more the trailer is included at the bottom.

"Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is by far the most epic Call of Duty experience yet. The teams at Infinity Ward and Sledgehammer Games have worked tirelessly to create for the Call of Duty player a scale that is unimaginable with a level of polish and creativity that will push the genre forward," said Eric Hirshberg, CEO of Activision Publishing.

"Modern Warfare 3 will raise the bar for this already incredible franchise."

Regular gamers will see the announcement as welcome news, not least because the games have been consistently popular. Not so the Mail though, which greeted the announcement with outrage.

"Fury over Call Of Duty computer game that features 7/7 Tube bomb-style attacks," is the paper's sensitive headline. Obviously at its offices anything that calls up the terrible memory of that incident - and isn't one of its own headlines - is just too much to stomach.

The link comes from the simple fact that some of the action in CoD: MW3 takes place in London, which means that we get to see London and its usual caricature-istic features, for example a double decker bus.

One Mail reader summed up his feelings, noting, "It looks epic to be fair". However, the balance was effectively restored when another reader commented, "ban these games or at least put those in prison who play them." µ

Obviously you haven't read about the game.. The online multiplayer will still be free, but the more advanced stats about how you do will be a paid subscription. That subscription I believe is more geared towards "serious" gamers who want to not just be in some clan, but to see how their clan, both individual members and as a whole fare against others.

That's what I gather from it anyway..

What I heard

I hear the plan is to ask people a monthly fee to play online, in the style of WoW.
I hope and trust everybody gets that that is unacceptable and does not buy any CoD that comes with such shenanigans.
If you don't put your foot down at such critical moments you won't just be the victim of all such companies for forever but you enable them to do that to fellow gamers too, so be strong.

Premiered, but under par

I wonder, is this the type of trailer they would like to give the fans of Call of Duty? Is this what they put up to compare against Battlefield 3? Modern Warfare 3 will definitely retain the 'sheep' of the FPS industry. But Battlefield 3 will take the sophisticated gamers who would rather evolve the FPS industry.
