Following its odd little pre-amble last night, Activision and developer Sledgehammer have given Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 the full reveal treatment, sharing first details on its campaign, multiplayer, and zombies mode, alongside a brief look at the game in action.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, which launches this November, is a direct sequel to last year's Infinity Ward developed Modern Warfare 2, pitting Captain Price and Task Force 141 against recurring antagonist Vladimir Makarov, who continues to extend his grasp across the world.
Starting with its campaign, Call of Duty's familiar cinematic missions will be joined by what Activision is calling Open Combat Missions, which are intended as more open-ended objectives, featuring multiple paths and approaches, that emphasise player choice. These will take place "across the sizeable landscape of a mission's AO " and "adapt to different playstyles", from stealth to run-and-gun action, so "players can truly play how they want."
