Some Information About COD Modern Warfare 3

By Janell Finley


Call of Duty, also referred to as COD for short, is a well known battle themed game franchise. The first game came out in the early two thousands as a computer game based on the second World War. Currently, there are eight separate installments. Each focuses on a number of different wars, and are playable on almost every kind of platform. The franchise's most recent installment, COD Modern Warfare 3, was released in late 2011 and is set in present-day Afghanistan.

During its first day, the game broke records by making nearly four hundred million dollars after over six and a half million copies of it were sold in America and Great Britain. Months before its release, there were reports of copies of the game being stolen and prematurely released online. It broke records again in regards to the number of copies that had been pre-ordered by consumers.

Modern Warfare 3, like its recent predecessors, is played as a first-person shooter. Meaning a person who is playing the game views it through the perspective of the main character. A player takes control of many playable characters throughout the game and must complete many different missions.

During each of the game's missions, players are guided by a series of helpful hints, from location markers to lists of objectives. Health is similar to the franchise's previous versions, damage to the character is displayed on the screen and a health bar is visible.

It features 3 characters from the older versions: John MacTavish or Soap, John Price, and the Russian, Nikolai. The group is joined by a soldier called Yuri. Vladimir Makarov also comes back and serves as the game's antagonist. New characters include a Delta soldier and a federal agent from Russia called Westbrook and Harkov, respectively.

Modern Warfare three's main plot is quite like that of the original two installments, in that it is mostly set in the Middle East and takes place in modern times. At the beginning, two of the characters from Modern Warfare 2 are transporting a wounded soldier to an Indian safe house. They hook up with a number of other people and must decide how to safely leave the country.

Meanwhile in the United States, Russia's invasion culminates in a battle for New York City. The player, acting as different characters, must avert a global conflict.
