Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 information blowout

At the ongoing Call of Duty XP event in Los Angeles, Activision unveiled a ton of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 information. The first and most important obviously being the gameplay trailer for MW3’s multiplayer included below. It’s not a radical departure from what we’re used to seeing but there are a ton of new features added in that should please fans of the franchise.

Next up was the announcement of a brand new Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 themed elite Xbox360 console that we’re pretty sure won’t make it to Indian shores. As you can see it looks pretty badass proudly sporting its battle scars all over. This console comes bundled with a copy of Modern Warfare 3 and will set you back by $399 (Rs. 18,268).

- A year’s worth of MW3 DLC

- Access to strategy and tips for maps, guns, and modes produced by expert CoD players
Elite TV: Web video episodes featuring the likes of Ridley and Tony Scott (producing a show pitting real-life rivals against each other in CoD) and Will Arnett and Jason Bateman (producing a show where celebrities talk smack over user-submitted videos)

For the rest of us who aren’t willing to shell out $50 (Rs. 2289) a year, you can still enjoy detailed stat tracking, the ability to form clans, watch yours as well as your friend’s best moments on the battlefield and lots more.
