Modern Warfare 3 Boosters, Cheaters BEWARE! 
08/19/11
Picture
BEWARE all you boosters getting ready for MW3, with Activision's planned release of the ELITE service they will be able to watch your stats and see if you cheats. Here is what Noah Heller said to NowGamer:
“Another thing Call of Duty: Elite is helpful for is cheating. When you have the data, you can analyse… like hey, every time I get in a match, that guy is killing the same four people over and over. When we run competitions, we can make it fairer. We can crack open the data and understand what’s going [on]. If you see someone you suspect of cheating and you analyse the data, it’s like there you go, they all stand in a line and he shoots a bullet through all of them. so it’s really valuable for us.”“In terms of the competition, invalidating the terms of service, we might ban you, we might invalidate your results. If someone gets 100 headshots in an hour… you know? We have a 24/7 live ops team, they’re multilingual, we’ve got folks in Europe, folks in the States. we’ve learnt a lot by talking to the Blizzard guys. What we do is we’ll be running a lot of competitions, we’ll be looking at the leaderboards. We do a lot of cheat detection.”

He went on to say:
“We’ve got constant detection that’s going on. We are always looking at people in competitions. If something looks awry, we will we will jump into that game to see if something is up”
“They can join as a physical player, that’s usually what we’ll do. we also look at their last games. Heat maps instantly show up when something is off,” said Heller. “You know, some people just want to level each other up and you know what? People can do that. It’s kinda lame. But as long as you’re not interfering with something, we don’t want to go crazy about it. But with competitions, we want people to feel that competition is fair.”

NowGamer is at GamesCom 2011. They had an amazing opportunity to get to play MW3's Spec Ops's Mission Mode. Here is what they said:

"GamesCom is underway, and Activision has Infinity Ward's Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 on hand for us to get hands-on with Spec Ops mode. So here are the details:
The mission we played - 'Invisible Threat' - took place on a German level with both players separated from each other. Player 1 plays as a Juggernaut while the second player is a sniper situated on a nearby rooftop. Should either player get killed, however, and it's game over.
The Juggernaut's task is to approach and defuse nine different IEDs, the positions of which are varied each time. The sniper, however, has access to UAV and Predator Missile style killstreaks to assist in protecting the Juggernaut from assaults.
Tons of troops assaults the Juggernaut, while rocket troopers try to take out the sniper on the roof. Part way through the mission both players will become attacked from tanks and helicopters"

Treyarch Posts a FAQ on Rezurrection™ DLC 
08/13/11
Picture
Treyarch has posted an FAQ on how to get this 100% Zombies DLC when it releases first on Xbox LIVE® August 23rd: 
"
Hardened and Prestige Edition Owners:
I'm a Hardened or Prestige Edition owner, how do I get Moon for Free? 
If you have already downloaded the Classic Zombies Pack that came with the Hardened and Prestige Editions of Call of Duty®: Black Ops, fire up the game and go to the Zombies menu.  Select either SPLITSCREEN or XBOX LIVE and make sure you are using the XBOX live profile that you used to redeem the maps.  There will be a new menu option that reads "FREE ZOMBIES LEVEL."  Select this option and you will be allowed to download Rezurrection for ZERO points starting on August 23rd.  If you still have the code from the Hardened or Prestige Edition but have not redeemed the Classic Zombies Pack, you can use your code whenever you like, Rezurrection will still be free for you when it is available on August 23rd. 

You can also acquire Rezurrection for free by re-downloading it from Marketplace or from the STORE in the MP menu on the 23rd.

Everyone:
How do I get my free Moon Theme?
Once Rezurrection has been downloaded, go to the In-game Store in the Multiplayer menus and select the tab marked "FREE OFFER."  Presto, free theme. 

How do I get my free Call of Duty®: Zombies Soundtrack?
Once Rezurrection has been downloaded, go to the Zombies menu and select "ZOMBIES SOUNDTRACK" from Splitscreen and/or Xbox Live.  Make note of your Offer Code in the pop-up window, go to the URL provided and enter your GamerTag and Offer Code.  The soundtrack will automatically start to download.  

We’d like to thank the community one more time for giving us the opportunity to make this happen. Your passion for all things undead made this possible! See you on the Moon when Call of Duty: Black Ops Rezurrection launches for Xbox LIVE on August 23rd. More details coming soon for PC and PS3."

A "Theory" on how the ALL NEW "Point System" MIGHT Work
08/10/11
Picture
As almost all of the Call of Duty FANS know, the Modern Warfare 3 Spec Ops trailer that was highly anticipated was released yesterday. At the end of the video there was a quick "multiplayer teaser." In that it should when "stillRIZZO (AC130'th) fourzerotwo" it came up on the screen saying "JUGGERNAUT 14 POINT STREAK." Well what is that? Well @theCodDaily and I have a thought on what it is. Here what it is. For every "point streak" you get (1,2,3....) you get a reward. And you get to scroll through the reward and pick which one you want to use. (i.e: He used the AC130, and he had the predator missile unlocked as well). But even with this theory, it has to have a little twist. It would be really annoying to continuously getting points streaks. As of now, we don't know how many kills = point streaks. But we will find out at CALL OF DUTY XP EVENT!

New Details on the Nintendo DS of Modern Warfare 3 Emerge 
08/09/11
Picture
*NOT OFFICIAL BOX ART
Last week Activision announced the Nintendo DS version of Modern Warfare 3 and thats all. Now we have new and fascinating details. 
First of all the developers are going to be n_Space. They have developed many DS versions Call of Duty games, so this is in good hands. 
The next fascinating news is that it is going to be called "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Defiance." And according to n_Space is will be a little different than the Xbox, PS3 and PC versions due to system performance. 
Finally n_Space announced that the DS version will NOT be available on the all new 3DS. Here is what n_Space said:
"You guys all need to understand that we make the games we are hired to make. It is not our call to decide which platforms to support. Obviously we are big 3DS fans and supporters as we have 3 titles in development. If it were as simple as us choosing what products and platforms to develop for I would get a lot more sleep." 
n_Space has NOT yet confirmed OR denied that it will be coming out November 8th, 2011. When they do I will let you know.

08/05/11
Picture
Dan Amirch, OneOfSwords, (works for Activision) has gotten us, fans, some new details on the Nintendo Wii version of MW3 here:
"-Treyarch is handling the Wii™ edition of Modern Warfare 3. They have a long history of Wii development as well as a proven Call of Duty history — to say the least! — so they’re a great fit.
-The plan is to bring MW3 out on Wii on the same day as the other versions being developed by Infinity Ward and Sledgehammer Games, but it’s a different platform with different capabilities, so this is not confirmed yet — there’s still work to do. I’ll update you when I know more.
-A lot of MW3 will fit into the Wii, but there may be differences. Multiplayer is confirmed for sure. When I know more about what the differences may be, I will report back."
AND BREAKING: HE ALSO CONFIRMED THAT THERE WILL BE A NINTENDO DS™ VERSION OF MW3:
"There’s also a Nintendo DS™ edition planned, which is being developed by n-Space. They’ve done the handheld editions of COD4:MWModern Warfare 2Black Ops, and World at War, among many other DS games. (You may remember my interview with n-Space’s Dan O’Leary onepisode 030 of the One Of Swords Podcast, too.) So, the DS version is also in expert hands."
Well lot of new on Modern Warfare 3 these past couple of days. 
As of right now- I HAVE NO IDEA ON THE RELEASE DATE FOR THE DS™ VERSION. & I HAVE NO IDEA ON HOW TO PREORDER!

Robert Bowling Confirms the Return of "Explosive deterrents" for Modern Warfare 3.
08/04/11
Picture
Thats correct! Explosive Deterrents (EXAMPLE: Flat Jacket) will be returning in "many forms" in Modern Warfare 3. We don't know if that is in "perks" or somewhere else. That is one of the perks that kinda makes people angry BUT that tweet also says "we've lowered explosive damage overall" which is a HUGE PLUS for me. (Especially after MW2's issues).

BREAKING: Details on PS Vita being delayed, and details on a Call of Duty game for the PS Vita:
08/04/11
Picture
PS Vita has been delayed to not coming until "early 2012" according to Sony's EVP Kazuo Hirai. Here is details from the "Associated Press":
"Sony's next-generation portable game machine, the PlayStation Vita, won't be going on sale in the U.S. or Europe in time for Christmas — a key sales period for game console makers. Expectations had been high the machine would be ready worldwide for the year-end holiday shopping season. Sony earlier promised a "phased global rollout" starting late this year.
Sony Corp. Executive Vice President Kazuo Hirai said Thursday the PlayStation Vita will go on sale by the end of the year in Japan, and early next year in the U.S. and Europe.
Hirai did not characterize the timing as a delay, but said Sony wants to be prepared with solid game software offerings timed with the hardware launches.
He did not give specific dates, meaning that it was still unclear whether the gadget — a touch-interface and motion-sensitive handheld that outdoes Sony's PlayStation Portable — would be ready for Christmas even in Japan."

How does this affect Call of Duty? Well "supposedly" there is a Call of Duty game in the works for the PS Vita. Here is what CEO of Activision had to say at a E3 2011 interview with GameSpot: (GS: GameSpot ; EH: Eric Hirshberg]
"GS: Now, let's talk about the PlayStation Vita. You guys came out early in support of the Vita and you've got a Call of Duty game in development for the platform. Who's actually developing that?
EH: I'm not sure we've made that public yet, so I can't answer it. (Looks at pair of PR minders sitting across the table.)

GS: I think this is where the censorship starts…
EH: It's not censorship. I'm just a leaky bucket as I always tend to answer the questions. They've been storing a little electrode in the back of my neck.

GS: So is Call of Duty going to be a Vita launch title?
EH: We haven't announced the details yet.

GS: So, is it Activision's sole property in development for the Vita?
[SOLE PROPERTY = Call of Duty]
EH: Yes."

And that "yes" confirms that there IS a Call of Duty game in development for the PS Vita!
It may not be Modern Warfare® 3!

RUMOR: Is Treyarch really going to be ready for Black Ops 2 for 2012? [UPDATED with DETAILS ON SHGames and NEW INFO]
08/04/11
Picture
Is Treyarch really going to be ready for Black Ops 2 in 2012? NO. Why? Because normally a gave developer needs about 1 year and a half to make a new game. And, as announced yesterday, Treyarch is going to be working on getting Modern Warfare®3 to the Nintendo Wii™. So how can they be working on Black Ops 2 as well?  
So what Call of Duty® game is coming in 2012?
It might be the game that Sledgehammer had in the works from last year (like announced in Feb 2010 for a 2011 release). We have no idea how long Sledgehammer Games have been working on that game before getting put on Modern Warfare® 3. Glen Schofield, CEO of SHGames, has said "we are currently focused on MW3 and are hoping to have our own COD game later." 
See here is the Press Release about Sledgehammer Games making a COD for 2011: COD SHGames
As we all know by now, Activision will NEVER release a game if it is not ready. 
We will just have to wait and find out...


UPDATE with Interview of CEO Activision on Sledgehammer Games:
Here is what Eric also had to say about Sledgehammer Games and MW3:
"GS: Speaking of new ideas and Sledgehammer, I know that according to Activision's own words, the studio is working on expanding Call of Duty franchise into the action adventure genre. Presumably that's a different project.
EH: Yeah, totally.

GS: Yeah. What's the status on that?
EH: They're focusing specifically on Modern Warfare 3.

GS: Are they actively developing the new game now or is it on the back burner?
EH: No, they're focusing specifically on Modern Warfare 3.

UPDATE:
Some people are telling me that Treyarch have made more the one game at the same time. So it could be the Black Ops 2 does come out next year. 

Treyarch is a studio that makes Call of Duty® for Activsion® Publishing Inc.
Sledgehammer Games is a studio that is "co-developing" Modern Warfare® 3 with Infinity Ward.
"Black Ops 2" is just a RUMOR.
Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare® 3 is launching November 8th, 2011 for Xbox 360®, Playstation®3, PC, and Nintendo Wii™.

EXAMPLE OF HACKING IN MODERN WARFARE 2!
Robert Bowling, Creative Strategist at Infinity Ward Studios, said in an interview that "there are patches in the works." 
BUT here is a list of things he said-
-Main focus is on Modern Warfare 3
-MAKE SURE people know that there is NO rebalancing (i.e OMA is not changing in MW2)
-Really looking into making the Security better
-Remove most, if not all, the hacking
-Once MW2 is locked down, COD4 is next.
-Some sort of "PC Patch" "recently came out"
-Takes a lot of resources for legacy titles
-Focused on making sure this doesn't happen in Modern Warfare 3!
-All in all, definitely stuff in the works.

BREAKING: Activision Just Announced that a NEW MAP PACK for Call of Duty®: Black Ops Rezurrection™ [UPDATED2x]
08/03/11
Activision Inc. just announced, during their quarterly earning call that " During the quarter, Activision Publishing also expects to release the Call of Duty: Black Ops Resurrection™ (officially called Rezurrection) content pack for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, Sony's PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system and the PC"
UPDATE: TREYARCH UPDATED CALLOFDUTY.COM here is that latest:
"Lift off into the ultimate Zombies epic with Call of Duty: Black Ops Rezurrection, and be the first to launch into space for a new dimension of undead action! This all-Zombies content pack hurls players into orbit with "Moon," the climax to the Zombies saga, as well as the most challenging and thrilling adventure yet. The undead shift in and out of sight, waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike. Undead astronauts easily shamble toward their next meal, unaffected by the base's fluctuating gravity.
Arm yourself with a space-age arsenal of epic proportions, including the Wave Gun, capable of cooking zombies from the inside out, as well as the Quantum Entanglement Device, which taps into the theories of quantum mechanics to bless (or curse!) your battle against the undead. Along with new equipment and an all-new Perk for thrice the zombie-slaying fun, you'll have the tools you need to turn back the undead tide once and for all.
In addition to the final chapter, Rezurrection also includes:
- Four re-mastered levels from Call of Duty: World at War: "Nacht der Untöten," "Verrückt," "Shi No Numa," and "Der Riese," where it all began.
- An enhanced Zombies soundtrack including, three tracks never before available for purchase.
- A new Zombies "Moon" theme.

Those of you that purchased the Black Ops Hardened or Prestige Editions and already own the four re-mastered maps, the other contents in the Rezurrection content pack will be free, including Moon, the soundtrack and the theme.
For players that haven't purchased the Hardened or Prestige Editions, Rezurrection will be available for 1200 Microsoft Points. To commemorate release, we'll be hosting Double XP over Labor Day weekend."
The Call of Duty: Black Ops Rezurrection downloadable content pack will launch worldwide, first on Xbox LIVE on August 23rd, 2011.

Beachhead Studios Gives Us Updates about the BETA. Here are a few:
08/3/11
As you see in those two tweets by the official Call of Duty® ELITE twitter, they are saying "Each day on weekdays" are when invites are going out. And for the PS3 players... "Working on this, but cannot yet announce. As soon as possible once dev work is complete."
This does raise a few questions-
Will PS3 users get to stay on the beta after Call of Duty® XP? (*that is when the BETA is supposed to end*)
If invites are going out everyday, how many people out of the 2 million are in?
*I will try to get answers* If you have questions contact me on twitter! @kkiller14

*ALSO: XBOX 360® PLAYERS: CHECK YOUR SPAM FOLDER INCASE YOUR INVITE WENT THERE!*

The BETA version of Call of Duty® ELITE has started for Xbox 360®, with Playstation®3 joining later. No PC beta
The FINAL version of Call of Duty® ELITE is launching November 8th, 2011 alongside Modern Warfare 3 for Xbox 360®, Playstation®3, and PC. 
FINAL VERSION FOR NINTENDO WII™ IS UNKNOWN! (MOST DEFINITELY NO BETA)

Where are the official Modern Warfare 3 forums?
07/23/11
Picture
It has been three months since Modern Warfare 3's official announcement and there is STILL NO official forums. Way back in May right before the World Premiere Gameplay Trailer came out, Robert Bowling replied to someone who asked "Is it safe to say the forums will go up with the trailer?" His answer "That is a fairly same assumption." That was in May, it is now JULY and still no forums. Well what is the official peoples answer?? "The Activision Digital Team is moving at a very slow pace." Then how come Black Ops forums went up in June. Anyone have ideas? I keep asking Robert Bowling and get nothing from him. If you can try and let me know on twitter! Lets hope the forums go up BEFORE Call of Duty® XP!!!

Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare® 3 is set to launch November 8th, 2011 for Xbox 360®, Playstation®3, PC, and Nintendo Wii™.

Modern Warfare 3's Survival Mode against Black Ops's Zombies Mode
07/22/11
Picture
Recently People have started to compare Black Ops zombies against MW3's Survival Mode. Well is it that same? According to Robert Bowling, "It is just a wave-based game mode which we have changed to work with the story of Modern Warfare 3."

So let us find out:
Modern Warfare 3 - Spec Ops:
-You play against not just simple players but against Juggernauts as well
-You can use killstreaks to assist  
-Currency can also buy attachments and even better weapons.
-Play in ALL multiplayer and single player locations-As each "wave" progresses the enemies come at you with different weapons and stronger people
-You can ONLY play with a maximum of TWO players
-Have three armories: Gun Armory, Equipment Armory, and Air support Armory
-Have dogs with C4 attached, call in back-up Delta Forces to assist


BOTH:
-Have Specific currencies to buy weapons.
-Have leader-boards-Play offline, split screen, or online-Unlock achievements and get automatic matchmaking for online

-Based on "wave game mode where enemies come at you"
-Have a purpose-You start with a basic weapon and have to buy better ones 


Black Ops - Zombies:
-The "enemies" which are Zombies have NO guns, they just come at you with their hands
.-As each "round" progresses the enemies come at you with more population and faster and angrier
-You can play with up to FOUR players-Specific maps for Zombies
-Currency only buys you guns and opens doors.
-Build barriers.


So as you see there are very few aspects in which MW3 copies Black Ops. 

*IF YOU HAVE MORE DETAILS LET ME KNOW ON TWITTER: @kkiller14 
*I WILL UPDATE AS SOON AS THE SPEC OPS TRAILER COMES OUT

Call of Duty®: Black Ops is already released for Xbox 360®, Playstation®3, and PC.
Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare® 3 is coming November 8th, 2011 for Xbox 360®, Playstation®3, PC, and Nintendo Wii™.

Call of Duty® XP is a convention for Call of Duty® where Modern Warfare® 3's multiplayer will be revealed. Takes Place Sept. 2nd - 3rd. 
Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare® 3 is launching November 8th, 2011 for Xbox 360®, Playstation®3, and PC.

Battlefield 3™ is currently the #2 for "Top Xbox 360" & #1 for "Top PS3" Game over at GameStop.com
07/22/11
Even though the preorder numbers clearly state Modern Warfare 3 is far ahead of Battlefield 3, Battlefield 3 is currently number two for Xbox 360 and number one for PS3 on GameStop "Top Games" (pictured above). The benefits of getting Battlefield 3 right now (I have preordered both) is that you get the Limited Edition for the SAME $60, instead of when the game launches this same model is going to be $90! Modern Warfare 3 WAS number one for both but as you see that changed pretty quickly. For me, BF3 and MW3 are both going to be amazing and can't wait for them to release.

NowGamers went HANDS-ON Modern Warfare 3 Spec Ops Survival Mode
07/20/11
Picture
NOWGamer went hands on with MW3 Survival Mode and gave an amazing description:
-Start of each GAME (Not round) you are equipped with the Last --Stand perk, a pistol, and suit armor. 
-"But these points also transfer into currency that can be spent on new unlocks from one of three armoury stores dotted around the map. There are some pretty neat unlocks available to you, but careful money management is crucial if you ever want to save up for the best items. There are also cash challenges similar to contracts in Black Ops. In the bottom left of the screen there is a ‘Rampage’ meter. Rampage fills as you earn killstreaks, and once you hit a certain amount of kills, you get a fat wedge of currency as a bonus. It’s a neat incentive to encourage good performance."

They rest of the review (it is very detailed and long) can be found here: NOWGamer HandsOn  ; and the SPEC OPS section of our Confirmed List will also be updated with details.

Picture
The Pre-Order numbers are in for America the week ending July 16th! For Xbox 360, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is 2nd place with 531,687 total and weekly change of 29,370. For PS3, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is 4th place with 236,083 total, and weekly change of 16,943. Modern Warfare 3 for PC is NOT on the most pre-ordered game list. 
Modern Warfare 3 vs. Battlefield 3:
Modern Warfare 3 has a big jump over Battlefield 3 in pre-orders.
MW3 Numbers: Xbox 360- 531,687 ; PS3- 236,083 ; TOTAL- 767,770
BF3 Numbers: Xbox 360- 256,875  ; PS3- 139,973 ; TOTAL- 396,848
Difference: 370,922

This point back in July of 2010, Call of Duty: Black Ops had only a total of 212,438 on Xbox 360, and only a total of 122,178 for PS3. So, if you compare these two games Modern Warfare 3 has already demolished the sales of Black Ops with 319,249 more pre-orders for Xbox 360 already!! For PS3 Modern Warfare 3 has gained 113,905 more pre-orders than Black Ops!! 
Modern Warfare 3 will be a hit this November!!


Call of Duty®: Black Ops is already out for Xbox 360®, Playstation® 3, PC, Wii, and DS and WAS developed by Treyarch.
Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare® 3 is coming November 8th, 2011 to Xbox 360®, Playstation® 3, and PC and IS being developed by Infinity Ward and Sledgehammer Games.

Activision® RESOLVES the modernwarfare3.com Issue
07/17/11
Picture

Picture

For a good while, modernwarfare3.com (not official) redirected to Battlefield 3™'s official website. Some thought this was EA's work, but it was shown (on Google Cache) that the owner (some pissed off COD fan) made the site redirect. All sorts of reports came up that moment on twitter of what is going on with the redirect. So it seems Activision got involved to set the record straight. Yesterday, July 16th, there was a court order on the site stating the this website must be shut down or redirect somewhere else. Today it seems to be gone and that site is showing "Warning This Website is Under Siege" and has some random video playing. At the bottom there seems to be a live twitter feed showing tweets with "#MW3" in it.

So it looks like everything is settled out and that site won't be having any more issues, but we never know. 

Battlefield 3™ is the game of EA

Battlefield 3™:

Dualshockers Interviews Robert Bowling
 07/16/11
Picture
During an interview with Dual Shockers (@DualShockers on twitter) Robert Bowling answered a few things about Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare® 3:
-Modern Warfare 3's story is totally different than the real world events.
-Just the places that are being played in are real
-Russian army has invaded America
-Playing in real world environments changes the way you play
-New York has already been under siege for a while, not very populated with people, but with explosions and loud noises.
-Other places will be populated because it is just starting around the world-Fighting in each place will be different 
-You will get to see entire sky scrapers coming down

Call of Duty® ELITE Details-
-Change your custom class on the fly and push it to the game and even DURING A GAME!

Spec-Ops:
-You can play mission mode and it will have cool locations that "don't fit in multiplayer or single player."
-Survival Mode- Ranking, Leaderboards, etc have been brought from multiplayer
-Play in all of the multiplayer maps, so you can experience the maps first.

PS3 vs. 360--
"Making sure you are getting the same experience on all systems is key in Modern Warfare 3," said Robert.
-No suffering for PS3 player- same frame rate and visuals. 
-PC players can enhance their own experience if they have a better graphic computer. 

When can we hear about multiplayer?
-Again, Call of Duty XP September 2nd and 3rd
-"Maybe will we tricker out some stuff before then," said Robert.
-Stay tuned to @fourzerotwo for some multiplayer details before Call of Duty XP!
