‘Modern Warfare 3′Multiplayer, Co-Op And Singleplayer Details Leak» MTV Multiplayer

Well, it looks like the cat's out of the bag.Kotakuis reporting that"Modern Warfare 3"is set for a November 8 release date. There were plenty ofrumorsbefore, and the November release date isn't a huge surprise, but the site has somehow managed to gain access to just about anything you would want to know (or not, in the case of spoilers) about what's sure to be one of the biggest games of 2011.

"Modern Warfare 3"takes place directly after the final moments of"Modern Warfare 2."As you'll remember, the game concluded with an injured John"Soap"MacTavish being dragged into a helicopter by Captain John Price and Russian pal Nikolai. The United States is still attempting to thwart a Russian attack, and madman Vladimir Makarov is still on the loose.

The three heroes escape to India, where a firefight soon ensues, and the rest of"Modern Warfare 3"will have you bouncing all over the world– to Manhattan, Mogadishu, Paris, and Hamburg to name a few – attempting to stop the delivery of weapons of mass destruction and basically keep the world from imploding. I won't say much more, as to avoid spoiling the game for anyone and having them track me down like a dog. Kotaku has essentially posted the entire plothere, but I'm warning you, I am desperately wishing I hadn't read it now.

What I will mention, however, is that the game brings back some of our favorite"Call of Duty"characters, introduces a few new faces, and ultimately seems as though we'll end up following a new band of heroes in future"Modern Warfare"titles. Most importantly, the names"Frost"and"Sandman"will soon become rather important to fans of the series. That's all I'm saying.

Multiplayer, perhaps more important to some of you than the franchise's crazy Red Dawn plot-lines, will of course make a triumphant return. Kotaku has named two new Spec-Op modes called"Survival"and"Mission."Previous rumors have claimed that the maps in"Modern Warfare 3"will be larger and more destructible, likely as an attempt to compete with shooter rival"Battlefield 3."

The game will also feature a number of vehicles, apparently, returning you to the AC-130 gunship (a personal favorite) and placing you in command of tanks.

All of this, of course, is unconfirmed by Activision or developers Infinity Ward, Sledgehammer Games, and Raven Software. We're sure to hear more about"Modern Warfare 3"at this year's E3 in Los Angeles, so stay tuned right here for more in June and the weeks leading up to gaming's biggest event.
