It's already on the net Call of Duty: MW3 World Premier Trailer [1]

At the end of the official call of duty Elite trailer the player is transported to an off limits MW3 multiplayer lobby.







Is it just me or did anyone notice the IW logo to the left of the guy?Gaz 17:18, May 31, 2011 (UTC)

Gameplay Ideas[]

Anyone else think that in Modern Warfare 3 in Singleplayer you can choose to be stealthy or run 'n' gun style or be given a opportunity to snipe in the mission or choose how to play the mission out like instead of being ambushed in the end you can divert from the group and ambush them and prevent more casualties. --[SwFT] Deuce 04:00, May 27, 2011 (UTC) I think moder warfare 3 should have 3rd person view it that you can switch from 1st person and 3rd person view with a button or something just let modern warfare be a little more tactical giving the ability to get on walls and you know that socom stuff just to beat it, i also think mw3 should have 4 player splitscreen online. and multiplayer onlne and splitscreen maps should have more objects you can interact with like miniguns or vehicles machines mechanism you know.

New engine[]

O sHaDoWQc o fourzerotwo Reddit AMA

On reddit.com

- Take a look at the second answer. It's will be the MW3 engine and not the MW2. On reddit.com: IAMA (Robert Bowling)

- The reference for the engine says that MW3 is using the MW2 engine but Robert Bowling said today that they are using a new engine. http://attackofthefanboy.com/news/modern-warfare-3-moves-beyond-mw2-engine/ Icealien33 03:11, May 23, 2011 (UTC) . In E3 2011 Day 1 , Black Tuesday Mission gameplay, you will notice about the name of the new engine that IW and Sledgehammer use in MW3, called "COD 5.0".

Weapons[]

I really dont think it's an AFG, look at it again. SCUD uNLIMItED

Anyone else see a Magpul AFG on the cover picture? I wonder if it will be implemented in the game.

Im pretty sure the H&K G36, FN SCAR, Remington ACR, M4, FAMAS, RPD, updated AK47 (made with polymers rather than wood) , Model 1887, FN P90, AA-12, Walther P99, MP5 (probably MP5A2 and MP5SD2 due to fixed butt), UMP40 or UMP45, Skorpion, MP412, M14 EBR, RSASS (Remington Semi-Automatic Sniper System), M82 (Barrett .50 Cal to MW2 players), Striker, M320 GL and the KSG 12 gauge shotgun will be featured in MW3. What do you think please comment or leave your ideas. SCUD uNLIMItED 17:55, May 30, 2011 (GMT)

How does anybody know what they call the UMP45 actually a UMP45 (where it says A soldier blind-firing with a UMP45, it could be a UMP40. SCUD uNLIMItED13:17, May 30, 2011 GMT

We don't know if it is or not; we're assuming because that's what it was before. Raven's wing Talk12:14, May 30, 2011 (UTC)

Can we add confirmed weapons now? Such as the M4A1 and MP5? They both appeared in the trailer. Dunno bout the AK-47 tho. I think they may call it the AK-200 or AK-101 now, because it does appear with the AK-200 and AK-101's black polymer parts rather than the wood furniture. Mr. Raptor Jesus 02:06, May 24, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah but the new AK doesnt have the flash hider the AK-100's have so it might just be a modified AK-47 Predator 01:36, May 24, 2011 (UTC)

In that scene that is most definitly an Ak-103 no doubt in my mind. But in that same scene it appears to almost be an aug a3 in the background probly mistaken. RatedLast

Real AK-47s are incredibly unlikely to be in this game, practically speaking. They're not even being manufactured for the military. For example, the AK-47 from MW2 was most likely an AK-108. And I'm pretty sure the Black Ops AK was an AKM or an AK-74 (although the start appearing in the second level, which is in 1969 or something. Oh well, no criticism here, just a thing to note. It would be nice for the CoD games to have the full name for weapons. 138.130.142.148 21:22, May 24, 2011 (UTC)

Unlikely to be a HK417. In the trailer at aboyut 0:11 seconds of the trailer you can see the soldier giving the player a magazine, the soldier giving the magazine has maybe M4 or M4A1 W/ M203, how likely is the fact that the soldier will be carrying 7.62mm rounds, when his weapon fires 5.56mm rounds. Also the magazine is slightly curved, and a 7.62mm mag is straight and much wider. So it doesn't need to be added. SCUD uNLIMItED


There are pictures of the Kel-Tec KSG on Kotaku. its a bullpup shotgun with dual parallel magazines, for a total capacity of 14 rounds. and since they are seperate mags, one can have buckshot, the other can have slugs. and you could switch on the fly (possible attachments) also, there is a picatinny rail on the top and bottom-- perfect for holosights on top and grips on the bottom.


P90 NEEDS TO BE ADDED!


The FN P90 needs to be added, The reveal trailer at 1:11 shows a soldier jumping a turnstile, on the floor is definately a P90

SAS and P90 Modern Warfare 3

P90 on the Floor

I hope you don't mind but I replaced your picture of the P90 with a better looking and properly named one :) Platinum Trophy PS3 icon Joseph Tan l talk l contribs l email l Platinum Trophy PS3 icon 08:19, May 24, 2011 (UTC)
no worries. just hope it gets put on the page
Weapons seem to be not in the final stage of development. I just watched the trailer, your character has the new dual scoped m4a1 while the others have the MW2
variant. So was the FAMAS and UMP45.George762 12:47, May 24, 2011 (UTC)
Can we confirm the Dual Mags as an attachment? They're visible in the gameplay trailer in AM3RICA.81.111.235.85 18:16, May 26, 2011 (UTC)
The P90 needs to be added. Moderators should be paying attention to this page.
Hush about the AK47. People recognize the gun by AK-47 or sometimes the AKM or Type 56. Infinity Ward/Raven Software/Sledgehammer are not idiots. They will not name it the AK-1337 or whatever you guys are saying it is. Slowrider7 14:22, May 28, 2011 (UTC)

What about the most modern AN-94? That is a more modern Russian rifle.--FranzEstrada 18:46, May 31, 2011 (UTC)


It is not a HK417. Compare a REAL life picture of an HK417 to a picture of an M4A1 and you will see the difference. lvoss 21:00, June 01, 2011 (PST)

Thats embarrassing. I saw the shortened mag and didn't even stop to think of 20rnd stanags, I see now how slender it is, however I thought the 20rnd stanags were shorter. Justification for lack of picatinny rails: thought IW were taking poetic licence as they did with MW2 AK. One question though: Why would they be using 20rnd mags? Virtually no-one uses 20rnd 5.56 mags anymore, especially not in the extremely hot CQB situations which make up virtually all of CoD gameplay. Anyway, I concede that I was wrong.

M40A3... Sign your posts please. First of all, yes, why are they going Gayarch on us? They're probably gonna use 20's to portray the 30's, and the 30's for the 45's. Also, the mag in Black Tuesday had no bullets. Didn't even have an opening, now I played the demo in slow motion, and more than 20 bullets were fired on one mag. Also, it is safe to say that IW, Sledgehammer, and Raven should call this "47" an AK-200, or one from the AK-100 series, because the AK-47 from MW2, and now MW3 looks very little like a 47 due to the polymers an future-like parts (not familiar with the AK weapons platforms) and the black finish made me think of the AK-100 series. Also, about the game and no IRL, what about Sandman? I'm positive that only 141 had the codenames. Also Sandman is also the callsign of a 141 member in MW2. Bad thing is about MW2 now, it's next in line to be overrun by modders like WaW and COD4. 108.88.69.52 15:38, June 21, 2011 (UTC)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kis2YfduIOg This video is a leak about the weapons they are currently developing. We should add these weapons into the list if not already done. Jmbfhu92 21:58, July 8, 2011 (UTC)

Well, no, because it's a leak, like you said. Read through COD:LEAK and then think about it. Also, we were linked to the Kotaku article these pics came from months ago. Raven's wing Talk22:03, July 8, 2011 (UTC)

There is a new LMG, the PKP the gun

thats it in the red, it can be iddentified by its distinctive crrying handel, if you don't know what the PKP is look it up.

Icon[]

We usually have mini icons specifying what content is featured in which game. I think it's about time we did that for Modern Warfare 3. User:ZombieKid1234567

Do you have any small image to suggest for Modern Warfare 3 then? Platinum Trophy PS3 icon Joseph Tan l talk l contribs l email l Platinum Trophy PS3 icon 08:14, May 24, 2011 (UTC)

Wii[]

Will MW3 be on the Wii? If it isn't, I'll murder the entirety of Treyarch and steal their Xbox 360s. Trueblade74 14:47, May 24, 2011 (UTC)

Yes it "Wiill".-Diegox223 Talk 21:34, May 24, 2011 (UTC)

M1911[]

In the picture with the UMP there seems to be a m1911 in a holster attached to the leg E.TALE 00:39, May 25, 2011 (UTC)

I think its a UMP, but it could be a G36? SCUD uNLIMItED

The soldier looks like an SAS member to me. However, I doubt they would use the M1911. I've got a feeling that this is either Price or Soap. Maj.Gage Talk. 10:21, May 26, 2011 (UTC)

It is probably Soap Because if you look carefully at the back of his head the shading goes light dark light, indicating a mohawk.

I'm confident its an M1911, perhaps it is Price's, although it could be just a place holder. E.TALE Barracks Headquarters 21:43, May 26, 2011 (UTC)

If that is an S.A.S. then the pistol is a P226 the standard issuse sidearm for the S.A.S.

The reveal trailer analysis confirms it to be an m1911, and the person may be Soap. E.TALE Barracks Headquarters 22:32, May 30, 2011 (UTC)

Reveal trailer analysis that is not official, we won't know until the game comes out.-Diegox223 Talk 22:34, May 30, 2011 (UTC)

He's too fat to be either Price or Soap in my opinion(Elavenger209 16:03, June 21, 2011 (UTC))

DS version?[]

Any news that N-space will release the DS version? Mr.potata 09:49, May 25, 2011 (UTC)


They better. Preferably for the 3DS though as it's more powerful.DogNut327 00:41, June 12, 2011 (UTC)

ZOMBIES[]

There better be zombies. I doubt it though because treyarch does that. But To be honest MW2 sucked because of no zombies. Spec Ops was the dumbest thing they came up with. And the only reason i Bought Black ops is because of Zombies. Campains are alright, And I dont care for the Multiplayer.Avatar symbiote 22:10, May 25, 2011 (UTC)Avatar symbiote

"There will NOT be zombies in MW3 BUT they will be including Special Ops which will have a SURVIVAL MODE, Which is bassically a horde of people instead of zombies! So there is "zombies" but it will be real people instead and it will be under Spec Ops." my source is Kotaku, May 30,2011 (CTB)

Zombies are not Infinity ward, they dont have the rights to use them so the will be using something like it so that they are still legal. This new "survival mode" will be online like zombies for black ops BUT it will have ranks like online multiplayer. May 30,2011 (CTB)

It still not the same.Avatar symbiote 01:33, May 26, 2011 (UTC)Avatar symbiote

Well thats just unfortunate. No zombies for MW3 means 50% of the fun is gone. Zombies should not be replaced by something they copied from "Halo: Reach"

^Actually, They didn't copy from Reach most likely, since a large number of games have a survival mode now.

Also they don't need rights to make zombies. Pretty sure that when treyarch made three whole games off of a series infinity ward created Treyarch wasn't like "NO ZOMBIES FOR YOU!"

i almost would have liked them to bring treyarch in and make a zombie mode for MW3 they got Sledgehammer working on campaign and Raven working on multiplayer why not bring them in and work on something that a lot of people would enjoy EMPSBladeKnight60 04:38, June 28, 2011 (UTC)

I wish that the zombies worked off of the world at war zombies, like the cold era guns are more powerful than world war two guns in which case if they had Zombies on MW2 or MW3 you could annihalate hordes of zombies with the worlds most advanced cutting edge tech75.71.58.169 16:53, July 5, 2011 (UTC)

Vehicle Section[]

In the trailer I saw a Striker APC, T90, Lepold 2, Mi24 Hinds, F22 Raptors, and various other vehicles. There should be a section for vehicles.


16:50 May 25, 2011 (lvoss)

Go for it. See if they get deleted. Elavenger209 16:06, June 21, 2011 (UTC))

Snow Level?[]

Other than some scenes in the trailer, I saw on the poster I got at GS what appears to be blizzard like snow in it. Just pointing it out. 67.180.147.15 01:53, May 27, 2011 (UTC)

Its has been confirmed In MW3 you take the role of US Army Ranger Derek "Frost" Westbrook And a Staff Sergent Delta Special Ops Team

He can't be Delta and a Ranger at the same time. That's like being a sailor and SEAL at the same time. Or a Royal Marine and an SAS at the same time. ~Jelly~

Lots of Delta Force operators have been to Ranger school, so they could techincally wear the Ranger patch. 132.3.37.68 15:36, July 7, 2011 (UTC)CC

Possible Ghost[]

does anyone else notice that when makarovs last line "the will of a single man" that the lone man looks like ghost THE FIGURE HAS GOT THE Sorry cap locks on, anyways looks like the lump around the ears and if you look closely you can see white around his face GHOST anyone.

He's dead, so no. Getting shot and set on fire can do that to you. If you try to argue, I will also like to state that somebody having a similar model is hardly means for them being alive. --Hohenheim   Talk to Me ◕ ‿‿ ◕  10:34, May 27, 2011 (UTC)

Also, the headset isn't an indication really; that's a model common among USSOCOM operators and a fair few foreign nations as well; the Delta guys in the trailer are wearing the same sort, as are all of the TF141 redshirts. Raven's wing Talk16:02, May 27, 2011 (UTC)

He wasn't set on fire. There was a video that showed him not being set on fire and the shot went to his chest not head. BTW there was/is rumors that ghost will be in MW3.

Uh-huh. Now explain how two shots at point blank range to the thoracic cavity, which contains some of the most vital organs in the body, isn't fatal. Raven's wing Talk19:00, May 30, 2011 (UTC)

And even then, the fire behind ghost is only a lighting effect to make it look beter. If it were in real life, you wouldn't throw a burning cigarette on a person covered in petroleum (Or whatever the hell it was and have the flames kick up 10 feet away. So Ghost WAS lit on fire. GHOST. IS. DEAD. DO. NOT. DENY.

Even if he hadn't been killed by the shot penetrating his thoracic cavity, he still would have died from two other things: 1) Blood loss and 2) trauma.

RAWR Bumblebeeprime09 | This is Bravo Papa Nine, over. 23:15, May 30, 2011 (UTC) Robert Bowling said that Ghost "isnt exactly dead." leaving it open to interpretation. 16:42, June 7, 2011 (UTC)


Then who the hell is ghost's voice actor going to voice? he said he'd voice someone.Tyler D'Ambrosio 00:42, June 1, 2011 (UTC)

Plus an infinty ward member (Forget who) said that "Ghost isn't exactly dead... but you'll see what I mean." Hint Hint

Craig "Teem Deffmatch" Fairbrass will be voicing Wallcroft (AKA "Already in the 'elicopter sir, enemy aircraft inbound...*explosion*). There was also the Ghost comic book series, if you'll remember, which is what Bowling was likely referring to. 108.27.28.142 00:21, June 5, 2011 (UTC)

There also could be a "flashback" campaign level that you play as Ghost. But to bring him back would be ridiculous, doing it once (Capt Price) is enough. 132.3.37.68 15:42, July 7, 2011 (UTC) CC

I wouldn't mind him coming back in a flashback mission. Anything else and I'll consider the series to have well and truly jumped the shark. Raven's wing Talk15:48, July 7, 2011 (UTC)

Factions?[]

I took some photos from the trailer , showing somes of the possible factions

American Faction

Heres the preview photo

Delta MW3




The O POS letters seem common on the American soldiers shown during the trailer, it could be Delta.

Then French Faction, I assumed GIGN, from the uniform and "GENDARMERIE" on the vehicle.


Also rioters, they appeared on leaked models, but also in the trailer.

So what do you think?

Comateman 15:59, May 27, 2011 (UTC)


"Gendarmerie" also refers to the regular police. It would make sense for police vehicles to be present on the streets of a war-torn country, they've been in the MW2 and BOps single player campaign. C0N71NG3NCY 16:49, May 27, 2011 (UTC)
There is Police too. Gendarmes are found in rural or perurban places , they are militaries with police duties while Policemen are not, and are found in urban area.
For the interventions groups, the GIPN (police) stays in France, the GIGN acts in France and other countries if needed like in Algeria in 1994 or VIP protection. There is a game from DAVILEX with "them" but in Britain, it's with the SAS, certainly SWAT in US (or not).
Anyway, don't mind who is who , just don't be drunk while driving^^.
Comateman 18:25, May 27, 2011 (UTC)
O POS stands for blood type. All US forces today have this on their sleeve to tell doctors if they need an emergency blood transfusion while they are not knocked out. Others would be
A NEG --- A POS
B POS --- B NEG
lvoss 13:07, May 27, 2011 (PST)
Thanks. It seems more D POS for the preview, maybe something.
Comateman 20:51, May 27, 2011 (UTC)

Ghost survived?[]

I don't care if you say he died, but I am just saying what I think, but when the trailer goes to England, the two soldiers firing, one of them is wearing a gas mask, whilst the other isn't. And the one who doesn't has a similiar (if not the same) headphones that Ghost had. Also, it looks like a balacalva (is that how you spell it?) and those who say that there is not skull, the gun is covering the bottom head, so you can't tell if there is a skull decal Killoren13 18:33, May 27, 2011 (UTC)

Proof please. Along with an explanation for how he took two shots to the chest and survived. Raven's wing Talk19:10, May 27, 2011 (UTC)

I'm just saying what I saw, I'm not saying that I believe that he's going to be there 174.24.254.226 21:53, May 27, 2011 (UTC)

@Raven: Most newfags are like "THUR WAS NO GASOLINE ON HIM THEREFORE HE DIDN'T BURN BECAUSE FIRE IS THE ONLY WAY TO DIE IRL!!!11!!1" Slowrider7 14:17, May 28, 2011 (UTC)

WARNING: SPOILERS - READ AT YOUR OWN RISK


He was shot in the chest with a .44 magnum, then doused with gasoline (it should be noted that he is completely lifeless by this point with his eyes having absolutely no focus), then lit on fire. So even if, magically speaking, he survived all that, he'd be suffering third degree burns with a HUGE bullet hole in his chest, probably a sucking wound. Oh and he's in a safehouse somewhere in Russia, while Nikolai, Soap and Price (his only allies at this point) are in Afghanistan, so they wouldn't be helping him any time soon. He's dead. Get over it.

68.49.208.222 19:32, May 30, 2011 (UTC)

someone (i cant remember) said that ghost would be the main playable charachter and the events in mw3 happen before ghost went to TF141

Uh, Shepherd didn't even zero his Magnum so he might of missed. Then, Ghost faked that Shepherd killed him in case Shepherd shoots him again.

And does it look like it will happen? 124.179.74.132 04:47, June 5, 2011 (UTC)

These excuses are getting worse and worse. Ghost was two feet MAX from Shepard, you wouldn't need to zero a gun from there, especially since Shepard is a General and is most likely a great shot. And even if Ghost faked his death after getting shot, there is still nobody to take him to a hospital. Slowrider7 15:19, June 9, 2011 (UTC)

Plus, Ghost and Roach were burned. Yeah I'm pretty sure you can survive .44 to the chest and intense heat to your body. I'm absolutely positive that's survivable. Plus, originally, MW3 was going to be set before MW2 and after COD4, but the idea was scrapped. Probably why IW couldn't update the engine more.

I hope that's sarcasm, about surviving a .44 shot at that range. It's powerful enough to (paraphrasing Clint Eastwood here) blow your head clean off, so a shot to the chest, right in between the lungs, right next to the heart and probably fairly close to the spinal cord would...yeah, kill you. And even if it didn't (by some miracle) blow Ghost's entire chest cavity apart immediately, there's plenty of veins and arteries there that would be opened, not to mention the fire. Ghost is dead. End of story. MrOshimida27 18:41, July 11, 2011 (UTC)

Stuff[]

I have 2 things.

  1. The XM25 has been confirmed as a new weapon in a USA Today newspaper article. I'll have pics momentarily.
  2. I beieve the O POS on the soldier's shoulder (Tongue Twister lol) refers to his blood type, O positive.

The scar is a scar-l. It has been confirmed that it will be used in the game. lvoss 18:39, May 28, 2011 (PST)

Ah, okay. Id did look a little too short to be a SCAR-H. Bumblebeeprime09 | This is Bravo Papa Nine, over. 12:40, May 29, 2011 (UTC)

The SCAR line of rifles have modular barrels, so it can be long, medium, short, or CQB. 67.180.147.15 01:44, May 30, 2011 (UTC)


That is some AR-15 varriant with a Magpul (the orginal developer of the ACR) MOE handguard and a Magpul CTR stock. Note the GL. I think you can attach a M203 on a MOE handguard if you put on rails. Also, to you guys who don't know what's the CTR stock, it is the stock used on the M14 EBR in MW2.

UMP45?[]

The picture on the page that claims that UMP45 willl return in game, at least I feel, does not show enough to prove it. That could be an MP5 with a folding stock or a Galil. It could also be the UMP40. We mustn't use the term UMP45 to describe the whole family. It is probably not a UMP9 because of the shape of the the magazine though,


AUG menu icon BO| Cpl. Ross |Stoner63 menu icon BO 13:25, May 28, 2011 (UTC)

Despite it clearly having a UMP stock and UMP rear sights. Raven's wing Talk13:31, May 28, 2011 (UTC)

No, the UMP9 is a 9mm version of the UMP45. It can be noted for a curved magazine. 67.180.147.15 22:45, May 31, 2011 (UTC)

The new MP5 has a fixed buttstock and was used in one of the E3 demos. It's modeled probably after the MP5A2. Plus out of all the UMP calibers available, I'd go with the 40 s&w, and .45 ACP (first choice), rather than the smaller 9mm.

Spec Ops info confirmed by 402 himself[]

I quote : "fourzerotwo Robert Bowling http://fzt.me/MW3survival Modern Warfare 3's new Spec Ops Survival mode w/ matchmaking, team leaderboards, progressive ranking in #MW3 co-op" This should be added to the official page. It's CONFIRMED.

Attachments?[]

What the hell is that on the M4?? Acog and Holographic? This looks wierd... and I like it


Ryan8r above all others. 02:23, May 30, 2011 (UTC)

Characters[]

WARNING: SPOILERS - READ AT YOUR OWN RISK


In Wikipedia, it's confirmed that Task Force 141 Captain John "Soap" Mactavish, Ex-SAS Captain Price and Russian Informant "Nikolai" will return to Modern Warfare 3. So will the Russian Ultra-nationalist Vladimir Makarov will return as primary antagonist. Nothing is mentioned about Ghost, however. The game will immediately follow the events of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, where Russia continues its invasion of the United States of America, and has also expanded its offensive to Europe, including England, France and Germany. It has also been reported that the game's finale will be set in the city of Dubai.

Until anything official comes from Activision, it's not going up. Raven's wing Talk10:55, May 30, 2011 (UTC)

MAP CUSTOMIZATION!!?!?![]

There has been talk on many forums about map customization, and it is still unknown whether or not it will be in MW3. (CTB)


IF anyone has more details please post

According to the reveal trailer analysis, the weapon the guard is holding in front of the prisoners is not an AK-47, but an AK 74. 68.49.208.222 19:22, May 30, 2011 (UTC)

US Army Rangers[]

Has anyone forgotten! US Army Rangers isn't mentioned is this game. That's wierd. Apparently thy might go to Moscow after Foley's line. But they aren't mentioned, that makes no sense. So Ramierz, Foley and Dunn isn't in this game? Matrixpretty 22:55, May 30, 2011 (UTC)

I don't think the MW series is a trilogy though, so it might mean that they could be in MW4. Or in a special mission in MW3...Warwolf 1 22:34, May 31, 2011 (UTC)

If you look in the reveal trailer the rangers are seen walking in the ruins of NY or france. and the SEALs can be seen in the trailer also.

Add The ACR[]

In the new Call of Duty Elite Trailer, a man with an AK-47 (I Think) asks if this was MW3, then the next man said he couldn't be here. He was holding an ACR. I took a look at the MW3 leaked pictures on google, an sure enough, the two looked alike, so the ACR will be in MW3. Americangunner521 18:58, May 31, 2011 (UTC)

Agreed, the Ranger on the left is holding an ACR. C0N71NG3NCY 22:24, May 31, 2011 (UTC)
It looke more like a SCAR to me.-Diegox223 Talk 23:12, May 31, 2011 (UTC)
Here:
MW3 Scar L

See? Doesn't looks like an ACR

.-Diegox223 Talk 23:18, May 31, 2011 (UTC)
Did you also notice the Intervention firing sound? Right as he got shot?
It's just a sound effect, an Intervention shot sounds much more dramatic than an ACR/SCAR single shot. Also, agree above, the barrel is much longer than the ACR's, it does kind of look like a SCAR now that you mention it! C0N71NG3NCY 00:04, June 1, 2011 (UTC)
The ACR is a highly modular weapon, so it could have a longer barrel than in Modern Warfare 2. Also, the ACR and SCAR do look quite alike already, and the fact that the SCAR-L might be being used doesn't help. Cool fool 01:22, June 1, 2011 (UTC)
What you should look out for is the stock. The stock is quite different from the SCAR. Since the stock is not visible, we cannot determine.

Ferrariguy1000 02:44, June 5, 2011 (UTC)

From those leaked pictures on Kotaku, I think this is a gun made by Remington, not Bushmaster. Yeah it's the ACR; Remington and Bushmaster both made it. Who knew? Smuff[citation provided] 08:18, June 1, 2011 (UTC)

Uh, only the ACR has that handguard. Go to the Remington website and you would find out. (You can argue)

It also could be the magpull masada that gun uses parts from multiple different guns.Sgt Sprinkles 04:15, July 19, 2011 (UTC)

Vector SMG back in MW3?[]

In the new trailer for the Call of Duty: Elite trailer at the end where theLEGENDofKARL gets shot in the head by a supposed IW member, you can see a weapons stock what seems to from a Vector SMG (Really called the Kriss super V) if you pause at the right moment, also if you compared it to MW2 variant it looks about the same. So should it reappear in the sequel? -Random Ally1337


Yes, the Vector is back! I hope it is more like the real thing (High Damage, 13 rd mag, high ROF, lo recoil). And the Kriss Super V is the name of the system, not the gun. It is called the TDI Vector. I like Kriss Supah V better though. :P

Oh and here's a pic of it from imfdb: http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/File:CODBO-TDIVector.jpg

Ferrariguy1000 00:05, June 5, 2011 (UTC)


For the sake of gameplay, let's hope it'll do that just in singleplayer Archer250 10:44, June 15, 2011 (UTC)

The TDI Vector should at least have the 30 rounds. Who'd use a 13 round SMG? It'd be the UZI of MW3. Plus in real life, it had the extension of 30.

Possible Wii version[]

Is it confirmed if this game is available for the Nintendo Wii?Makarov29 09:06, June 1, 2011 (UTC)

Not sure, but it would be cool. ApplejackMetlman TalkApplejack 04:53, July 26, 2011 (UTC)

No Stopping Power, OMA, Commando, or Nukes. CONFIRMED[]

402 just tweeted the above headline. This should be added to the article under a new "Multiplayer" section.

Reference (@fourzerotwo tweet) - http://twitter.com/#!/fourzerotwo/status/75984729245102081

Thanks. Lil diriz 77 (Talk) 19:04, June 1, 2011 (UTC)

Also, no "team killstreaks" --> http://twitter.com/#!/fourzerotwo/status/75988245233672192
I assume any other information leaked today (especially on Kotaku...) is fake, or at least inaccurate. Lil diriz 77 (Talk) 19:06, June 1, 2011 (UTC)
What exactly is this "team perk" he's referring too? Moozipan Cheese 22:44, June 1, 2011 (UTC)
"Team perks" were mentioned in Kotaku's article, supposedly they were to be earned by and for teams in multiplayer, which would act as perks that apply to the whole team. Probably perks that are oriented towards helping the TEAM in general, not specific players. Maybe something like "Cap flags 2x faster" like the old Blitzkrieg! from WaW, but that's just a guess. They're confirmed to be fake, though, anyway. Lil diriz 77 (Talk) 00:10, June 2, 2011 (UTC)
No stopping Power? do they want BO 2.0? And boo on no nukes, they were awesome. 68.49.208.222 00:32, June 2, 2011 (UTC)
402 said Stopping Power will be "built in to the guns", meaning, they should be all balanced and damage and should have relatively high damage, so there won't be any "THIS-IS-TAKING-TOO-LONG" kills. 402 said the focus for MW3 is fast paced gun-on-gun action, and that certainly can't come with weak guns. Keep an eye on his twitter. Lil diriz 77 (Talk) 02:55, June 2, 2011 (UTC)
Look at it this way boys, you not getting stopping power means no-one else does, so nothing changes, except that we will have a perk slot that will have some diverse use in Multiplayer. So class specific perks (sniper, etc.) will shine through. I'm just hoping that they allow underbarrels as multi-attachments again, otherwise we just end up with everyone using a mag upgrade and a silencer, And I hate the look of the foregrip on the M4, I'd have a GL on it anyday.86.162.167.50 20:22, June 8, 2011 (UTC)

Confirmed MP info by 402[]

Robert Bowling AKA Fourzerotwo confirmed :

- No Stopping Power (presumably no Juggernaut and Danger Close either)

- No Commando

Quickscoping[]

Any word on Quickscopin? Will MW3 allow it? Will it don't? Sgt.Robin 00:23, June 2, 2011 (UTC)

I honest to god hope there isn't any. Learn to actually snipe. Ededdeddy97 00:38, June 2, 2011 (UTC)

Well, that wasn't an official "word" on it, but thanks anyway Sgt.Robin 00:45, June 2, 2011 (UTC)

I hope they bring quickscoping back because everyone enjoyed it and it was a new way of sniping and too quick scope you had to be ablle to snipe. Kacpercod 12:01, June 3, 2011 (UTC) kacpercod

I hope they do BFBC 2 style sniping, so you have to zoom out of the scope to do the bolt.

Ah!!!! I love BO because of the lack of Quick Scopeing. Please don't have quickscopers.Or what if they have a "Quick-Spoper-Friendly-Playlist" so we are all happy. Sound's like a good idea right? Ferrariguy1000 00:08, June 5, 2011 (UTC)

Well I think it should return, it's just aquired skill. And besides, it's Infinity Ward's trademark in their games, because Treyarch pussied out on it doesn't mean it should return, and the sniping in black ops is TERRIBLE. A Random Contributor 17:20 June 8, 2011 (UK)

It was confirmed on Robert Bowlings twitter from what i saw posted on here which is good because i hope it is. (Jererulz 10:50, June 27, 2011 (UTC))

Trivia[]

  • And Put This Little Squares Lol. [Noob]Cam37 14:08, June 2, 2011 (UTC)

Blindfire[]

Is MW3 actually going to feature blindfire like how the soldier with the UMP45 did? Or is it going to end up like MW2 where it was just for show? --TallgeeseIII 02:16, June 3, 2011 (UTC)

That was a campign Trailer, so it may just be AI. It would be somewhat cool yet *coughcamperparadisecough*. Ferrariguy1000 00:09, June 5, 2011 (UTC)

I think they should do what they do in Killzone, where you can popyour head round a corner and fire your weapon, but the crosshairs are pretty big. A Random Contributor 17:24, June 8, 2011 (UK)

That blindfire was what AI did in MW2. In Favela, have you noticed if they blindfire a FAL, they fire it in FULL AUTO?* Like IRL.

  • will we be able to use the fire selector?, it would be helpful over long range with high ROF/recoil weapons.

That's what I expected for Black Ops, but only a full auto for a CZ75 which didn't help because it actually took away 5-10 damage, and shot as fast as someone with a fast trigger finger. Elavenger209 14:54, June 22, 2011 (UTC)

Get the ACR on the MW3 Page![]

The ACR is confirmed in MW3 but not on the page. It looks different so don't say it's some other gun. Go to Remington.com and you would see a ACR that looks just like that. Kotaku said that there is going to be a ACR in MW3. The ACR page says that the ACR is in MW3. So get the ACR on the MW3 page!

confirmed no dedicated servers[]

popped up on steam (woot), saying summin, i forget the full details. wana add it 2 the page bout the idiotic lack of dedicted servers? talk anout nail in the coffin......

FAMAS or G36c?[]

not to say that there isn't a FAMAS in MW3, but i think the pic on the MW3 page that says FAMAS is actually a G36c, judging from the shape and position of the carry handle.

Man, CoD people! Use your common sense! If part of the campaign is in France and Germany, why wouldn't there be both? Come on. Elavenger209 16:10, June 21, 2011 (UTC)

Vector?[]

Hey i think i seen the vector on TheLegendofKarl's back at the end of the trailer. Its very distinctive stock can be seen sticking over his right shoulder, would someone please confirm. link:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8AMMgZHoQ0&feature=player_embedded


Can you provide a time in that video where the vector is seen?

Isn't that an all Black Ops gameplay + ELITE video? Elavenger209 15:04, June 22, 2011 (UTC)

Never mind I saw it. It is definitely a TDI-oops no IRL, but yes that looks like a Vector stock. Elavenger209 15:07, June 22, 2011 (UTC)

I can't see it. Pic please. Raven's wing Talk15:09, June 22, 2011 (UTC)

You can see it at the end when Karl's excited he's in MW3, then he gets killed. As he falls watch the stock, look for it in around 6:30? Then as he drops dead you can see a stock resembling the Vector. Elavenger209 15:19, June 22, 2011 (UTC)

G18, P90, AK-74u, AA-12 CONFIRMED[]

The MW3 reveal today at E3 2011 during Microsoft's press conference showed a Campaign mission. During that mission, the G18, P90, and AK-74u could be picked up off the ground, and the AA-12 was used during a breach, as a secondary weapon. That is all. Lil diriz 77 (Talk) 19:02, June 6, 2011 (UTC)

New Weapons seen in E3 Demo[]

  1. XM25
  2. AK-74u
  3. G18
  4. AA-12
  5. SPAS-12

Confirmed Weapons from Spike/Gametrailers 'black tuesday' run: SPAS-12, P90, AK47, M4A1, AT4, unnamed grenade launcher (scoped). Confirmed attachments - Dual sight (Magnifier/Holo?) ACOG, Silencer, Grenade Launcher (your prayers have been answered).

Legend of Karl trailer shows Vector (on Back) what may be an AK47, and an ACR from the other guy.

More will be coming soon, I expect.

The dual sight does not use an ACOG, it is a magnifier made by EOTech. ZachHerring 20:35, June 6, 2011 (UTC)

M4A1[]

The M4A1 pic in the page shows a placeholder. The actual M4A1 is shown in the E3 demo. Shouldn't we change the pic to this?:Soap-Mactavish What the hell kinda name is Soap? 20:37, June 7, 2011 (UTC)

Terrible support[]

This page is honestly getting terrible support. We have so much more info on MW3, and there is barely anything on this page. What are you waiting for ? We know SP, Jugg, DC, OMA, Commando and Nukes are not returning. We know there's an AA12, a G18, a SPAS-12, an XM25, and 3 campaign missions so far. The info on this page is below the minimum of acceptable info it should have.


knThis Guy ^^^ Has a Point.[]

This page doesn't have much. In the E3 G4 Demo, there is a P90 and an AK74u confirmed by weapon pickup icons also. The Red Dot Sight and Holographic Sight are also confirmed attachments via pickup icons. Sandman and Frost need to be added to a characters list and "Hunter Killer" needs to be added to a Missions section.

Destroyable Cover?[]

Now, I'm not sure if this is just a random destructible prop, but at one point in the Wall Street gameplay, the player shoots a satellite dish with the XM25, and it appears as if it is destroyed. Could this mean destroyable cover?

yea theyre at the top of the fake time magazine mw3 cover theyre in the game its confirmed for all u tools out there who need everything to be confirmed 100%

OK. Four points to be made here.

  1. Don't insult people for no reason.
  2. Sign your posts.
  3. Spell and grammar check your posts.
  4. Just because it's there doesn't equal confirmation. It's just establishing continuity. Raven's wing Talk19:30, June 15, 2011 (UTC)

Add the ACR pls.[]

Can somebody add the ACR pls I saw a pic of a poster somewhere with sandman holding it. I think it's a pre-order poster from amazon. The pic should be in the ACR page if I remember correctly.

The Ghost[]

I've seen a lot of these "Ghost is still alive" "ooooooh Shepherd wasn't even aiming" blahblahblah etc. Personally I think that when someone (Bowling?) said that ghost isn't really dead it could mean 2 things, 1.(which is most probable) Someone donned his balaclava and probably his headphones OR, 2. He becomes a ghost in Soap Mactavish's head since he was ghosts Commander and probably friend so he probably has hallucinations of him in his mind.

Please be the first one, Blops sucked enough with the second one.-Diegox223 Talk 02:41, June 12, 2011 (UTC)
Well if its the second its gonna be a bit to much like Black Ops so im hoping its the first. But who knows he might (and this is a very slim chance) be still alive. (Jererulz 10:53, June 27, 2011 (UTC))

Weapon?[]

In the E3 video of Black Tuesday, shortly before the player goes up to the roof, at around 7:30, there is a soldier up near the ladder fighting the Russians down below. His weapon has a long barrel, and seems to be semi-automatic only. Which weapon is this?

84.88.229.249 13:28, June 14, 2011 (UTC)

1. The K there is obscured, so it may not be an MP5k. 2. We've seen the full-stock, full-length barrel, it's an MP5A2. Now it may be possible that there's both, but if so they really need to make them noticably different gameplaywise. Other than that The barrel in that shot looks full-length. OmgHAX! 15:40, June 14, 2011 (UTC)

Sir, if you've seen the video in high quality you can clearly see the k in the name. Click, now skip ahead to 1:18 to 1:21. The ACR 6.8 and MP5k's names can CLEARLY be seen. Lil diriz 77 (Talk) 11:11, June 15, 2011 (UTC)
Odd... I think I still saw a stock on that MP5k. So... are we only seeing one MP5 model then? I don't think I've seen a stocked version of an MP5k before. OmgHAX! 13:49, June 15, 2011 (UTC)

Check fourzerotwo's twitter. He says both the MP5 (MP5A2) from COD4 will be in the game along the MP5K.

This could mean that the addable stock seen on some Blops guns in MP could return... Codmoddeux 07:48, July 15, 2011 (UTC)

You'll get your infomation regarding the Yuri character and the rest soon enough, If it's true I'm looking forward to this Russian Charachter, I live in the west but I'm sick of elitist Captain America and Super Sam the SAS shit, they've "hated on" Russia for three games in a row, it would be nice to see the game from the other side's perspective for once, 24.224.193.226 06:08, June 21, 2011 (UTC)

how do we know for sure the wallcroft in mw3 is the same one from cod4

Griffen returns as well. First leaks were by Kotaku.

Good/bad?[]

I think that MW3 will be EXACTLY like MW2 but with better levels. So i see it like a HUGE map pack.

Snipers?[]

i havent seen any so far. (besides those leaked unconformed tech demo shots) i hope the game has the 50 cal and the intervention, but i also hope the game dosnt simply have the same guns as mw2 has. has anyone seen any other new sniper? 84.88.229.249 12:24, June 17, 2011 (UTC)


I have. They are coming out with the RSASS and the M14 EBR.

God Dammit[]

How does one misspell 'attachment?'

If this page wasn't locked, I would have merely sighed, shook my head, and fixed it. Unfortunately, it's locked, so I have to bitch here.

Someone fix that.

New Weapons[]

All of these weapons can be added:

1. Kel-Tec KSG

2. Remington RSASS

3. Walther P99

4. M320 Grenade Launcher

5. Magpul FMG

Those images are leaked, and thus they are in violation against the wiki's rules and they can't be posted on the main page. Just hang on til' the official announcement.

Ok. They look like some cool weapons though. Vault Dweller 5 17:44, June 21, 2011 (UTC)

I like that you guys brought back the G36C!!

But the only handgun you guys have listed is the FN Five-SeveN. I think you should bring in the USP .45 and the .44 Magnum at least. Maybe even the M9. The tactical knife attachment would be amazing too.

Please and thanks!

We only list the weapons confirmed in official media. Raven's wing Talk21:27, June 21, 2011 (UTC)

You might want to double-check the M320. In the demos, you might be able to make out rifles with GL's and they look alot like an M203, not the M320. Elavenger209 23:14, June 21, 2011 (UTC) FN Five Seven caliber? 5.7

please take down[]

in the Weapons section it lists the G36C, SCAR-L, Striker, Barret .50cal, M14 EBR, and the Skorpion need to be taken off of because they have not been confirmed 1-10 20:53, June 22, 2011 (UTC)

I think just the same, or at least add all the others leaked weapons like the RSASS, Magplu FMG ecc. BTW, "Attachments" is misspelled in the page as "Attachements" RC95 11:31, June 23, 2011 (UTC)

I agree.Archer250 13:36, June 23, 2011 (UTC)

So do I. Who's responsible for maintaining this page? I'm surprised this got through to begin with, it's pretty clear these were the same leaked weapons. OmgHAX! 00:14, June 24, 2011 (UTC)

Actually. ALL the leaked weapons MUST be taken down RC95, we just cannot add the rest, and keep these, and have it be ok. None of these have been confirmed, but are merely leaked. Please just take down all the leaked weps. Whoever is maintaining this page, no offense, but you are doing an awful job. PkedU2Fast 16:05, June 24, 2011 (UTC)

He's right, no evidence for these guns. Bobbyb373 21:12, June 24, 2011 (UTC)
I agree. I tried a couple times, but both the page and the "Confirmed Weapons" template are locked against all users. It was a sysop that put them up. MrOshimida27 22:28, June 24, 2011 (UTC)
Compared to previous articles on games, this page doesn't match up to what we had for MW2 and Black Ops at this time of year. Like you all have said, many things need to be changed in the article such as the leaked guns and spelling errors. I don't know if its the fact that Imrlyboard doesn't edit much anymore but if I remember correctly, he helped out a lot with pre-release MW2 info and the article we had on the game looked very neat and sharp. I think the admins need to drop the lock so that only unregistered users can’t edit it. It's obvious that you all want the article looking professional. E.TALE Barracks Headquarters 00:07, June 25, 2011 (UTC)
Can the Sysop's give editing permission to non Sysop's? 1-10 01:45, June 25, 2011 (UTC)
I'd really appreciate it if the admins dropped the protection down to registered users and up, only. Unregistered users shouldn't be allowed, but registered users should. I'm sure we could use our ideas and verify things wherever needed to improve the page. Lil diriz 77 (Talk) 08:47, June 25, 2011 (UTC)

I don't think they can let only a select few non admins edit the page. I don't think that has ever been done before, although I could be wrong. Maybe leaving a message on an admins talk page...but I'm still not sure. E.TALE Barracks Headquarters 11:55, June 25, 2011 (UTC)

@ E.TALE I would but i don't have the time EDIT: oh ya, who added those leaked guns up there anyways 1-10 09:59, June 26, 2011 (UTC)

@1-10, according to the pages' edit histories it was User:N7 that changed the listing here, as well as the template, and locked them. MrOshimida27 17:28, June 26, 2011 (UTC)

On a page about MacTavish,Price and Nikoli it says they are in MW3 but the charecter list on this page does not inclued them. I hope you guys could add there names.00:47, June 25, 2011 (UTC)00:47, June 25, 2011 (UTC)00:47, June 25, 2011 (UTC) Jonathan

These weapons are confirmed. I don't know why some of you seem to think they're not. http://myxboxlive.com/gaming/mw3-confirmed-weapons/ That link provides screenshots of confirmed weapons, and as you can see, the G36C among others is indeed there... also, the wiki has used the MP5 screenshot that's up on that site, so its authenticality cannot be doubted.
Do your own research before posting random stuff.Ryemccrory 11:07, June 26, 2011 (UTC)
@above poster, those are the same leaked info, and pics that i was talking about. There not confirmed yet so don't say they were. 1-10 11:10, June 26, 2011 (UTC)

1-10 is right, although they probably are from the game, we can't use them unless we have official info (videos, pictures released by IW, twitter from 402, etc)E.TALE Barracks Headquarters 13:12, June 26, 2011 (UTC)


@ E.TALE, This might help, COD:LEAK. 1-10 15:54, June 26, 2011 (UTC)

@1-10, I'd say COD:AEAE could apply as well, seeing as only higher-ranking users have the ability to edit this page, which per COD:AEAE would seem to be "special treatment", which is banned. I think unless these weapons are suddenly confirmed OFFICIALY (A new trailer, for instance), then we should either try contacting an admin or even putting up an AfD for the leaked stuff. MrOshimida27 17:28, June 26, 2011 (UTC)

@ MrOshimida27, Eh? didn't even know that existed, any ways the Sysop's should give editing rights to those who wont abuse them. 1-10 17:53, June 26, 2011 (UTC)

Admin note: Me and a couple of other admins had a discussion about the adding of these weapons on IRC and we came to the conclusion that the kokatu weapons are legit. We added this information to the articles to save us time at a later date, however this doesn't mean that you can go around creating articles about leaked content.

lightweight bolt action[]

i hope mw3 has some kind of sniper similar to the intervention. or like the popular m40a3. i just love the feel of those snipers. (this has nothing to do with quickscoping) the 50cal is also one of my favorites, but its real heavy, and i believe the m14 is too. the only thing im worried about is that they seem to be using most of the mw2 weapons, and the game could use some variety. cuz at the moment, the HUD, equipment icons, minimap... look just like mw2. the multiplayer reveal shouldnt take long to arrive right? if it was up to me, i would add golden guns and night vision, like cod4 had. 84.88.229.249 10:22, June 27, 2011 (UTC)

The Mark 14 weighs less than the Intervention and the M40. In fact, of the rifles you listed the Intervention is actually the heaviest at 31lbs. Raven's wing Talk10:30, June 27, 2011 (UTC)

Yes but as he said in game it feels very different as if the intervention has little to no weight at all whilst everything else feels heavy as. but i do hope there is a bolt action sniper. (Jererulz 10:57, June 27, 2011 (UTC))

yeah, i dont really care about how much they weigh in real life, its how they feel in game that interests me. for some reason, when i use the intervention i do much better, or atleast it just feels like im playing better, more agile. (again, this is not about quickscoping, im not a quickscoper) 88.13.90.185 21:11, June 27, 2011 (UTC)

The M14 weigh less than half of the M107/M82. And this kind of topic doesn't belong to the talk page. Archer250 09:45, June 28, 2011 (UTC)

again, i dont care about real life weight. its not like im going to use these guns ever. 84.88.229.249 10:58, June 28, 2011 (UTC)


You're missing the point. This is a talk page about the article. This kind of topic belongs in a forum or a blog.Archer250 12:37, June 28, 2011 (UTC)

Main Page[]

I think we should start talking or creating a article about the spec ops in MW3 and the new suvival mode, they should put it on the main page their is footage of it (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CzDgJaqgDIA) we should really think about it.Hynestinez 17:01, June 29, 2011 (UTC)

"Differences between MW2 and MW3" section on main page?[]

I was thinking, how about we make a section titled "Differences between Modern Warfare 2 and Modern Warfare 3", with a shorter title of course. I have two reasons behind this idea. The first one is that we should not comapre MW3 with Black Ops, but rather MW2, as MW3 is supposed to be a sequel to MW2. The second, and related reason, is that we already know some differences between MW2 and MW3.

Sh1ad20wI-Iawk 00:24, July 1, 2011 (UTC)


Why the hell should we do that?

I don't see a "Differences between MW1 and MW2" section in MW2 page. Archer250 09:27, July 1, 2011 (UTC)


That's absolutely pointless...... Jeddy2 01:20, July 2, 2011 (UTC)

USP.45[]

According to the survival mode page, you start of with a USP.45, so it should be included in the weapons list on this page too. Zombie DropperTalkRay Gun 3rd person view WaW 19:25, July 1, 2011 (UTC)

That's the FN Five-seveN not the USP .45. Carbonite 0 19:28, July 1, 2011 (UTC)

You start with a USP.45 in Modern Warfare: Mobilized. RC95

We can't include it on the weapon's list for Modern Warfare 3 just because players start with it in Modern Warfare: Mobilized. As far as we know, the FN Five-seveN might replace the USP .45 in MW3. Carbonite 0 23:56, July 1, 2011 (UTC)

I hope it doesnt replace the M9. I love that gun --RC95 16:54, July 2, 2011 (UTC)

I don't think it will, the M92 is still THE military standard pistol... unless you're talking about the SEALs, then they use SIG P228/229s Archer250 02:22, July 3, 2011 (UTC)

Soap,Price and Nikolai retruningto MW 3[]

hey guys i have a question why in the caracthers box are not added Soap,Price and Nikolai????

Because we have no confirmation they appear. Raven's wing Talk15:15, July 3, 2011 (UTC)

Actually i think they have been confirmed in the fake times newspaper saying there wanted criminals i took that as a sign to say there in. (Jererulz 00:43, July 12, 2011 (UTC))

Anyone else not really interested[]

I've voiced my opinion a couple times, but I wanted to know, is anyone else not really interested in getting this? I mean i like call of duty [reason why im here], but this just looks like the same game IW made two years ago, with a new storyline and maps. Even the weapons are so far all the same. I just don't se the value in getting this game over other ones.


I mean COD 4-MW2 was alot of change, better graphics, more weapons, more attachments, bigger maps. And even WaW-Black Ops was a positive change [Other than Create-a-class 2.0], But MW2-MW3 really looks like nothing special and not worth my 60 bucks. Maybe when its 40 or something, but its not looking like a full-priced game to me- Damac1214


there were weapon changes, such as the SCAR-L, The G36C, And the FN Five seveN. 1-10 11:59, July 5, 2011 (UTC)


SCAR-L= Light version of the SCAR, SCAR-H was in MW2

G36C was in Call of Duty 4

Only two new guns are FN FIve Seven and that XM launcher


I think they are trying to make the game not too much IMBA. If they put up-to-dated Weapons in game, it will be crazy i guess, too easy to kill a guy...

For an example

HK417 ? Or Barrett REC7? /M468? with SPC 6.8mm?

And of course, you haven't noticed M302 Grenade Launcher yet my friend.

It seem the new M4A1 in MW3 using RIS, not SIRS anymore.

@Top comment, I'm not buying it. Call of Duty 4 was the only brilliant Modern Warfare. The only reason I've got MW2 is because I got it at Christmas. It'll probably be worse than MW2 because there are too many people working on it, and many plot holes and errors will probably pop up.

Also to put people off MW3 MP slightly, the same people who did the BLops DLC are doing MW3 multiplayer. Gruntijackal (Talk) - You Drove Them Deep into the Heart of the Reich You thought they were dead... You were wrong

XM25[]

Does anyone know if the XM25 is air-burst? If so, the grenades need to be detonated manually, and we'd need to figure out what the mechanics would be. The footage from Black Tuesday doesn't really specify how it works. The only games I can think of that used air-burst weapons are Homefront and Metal Gear Solid 4. OmgHAX! 22:07, July 5, 2011 (UTC)

Adding new guns[]

But weren't the Kotaku leaks legitimate? Picknick14 22:08, July 9, 2011 (UTC)

Well, since the leaks came out before the first trailer did, no, they are not. And it doesn't matter anyway, since they weren't leaked by IW. Personal Conqueror of all Zombies Ireland flagCoaZTalkPersonal Conqueror of all Zombies Ireland flag 22:11, July 9, 2011 (UTC)

Adding Characters[]

I think it would be safe to add Soap MacTavish and Captain Price to the list of characters, as both their pages on Wikipedia credit them for voicework in Modern Warfare 3. Decster97 00:53, July 10, 2011 (UTC)

"Ramirez!" in Black Tuesday[]

Another thing here, at about 3:10 in the Black Tuesday trailer (the version on the MW3 page) if you listen carefully you can hear a soldier yell out "Ramirez!" its a pretty common last name so idk if its the same guy from MW2 but i thought i was worth posting here.
