Activision Some people simply couldn't wait for the official release Let's look at the more unconventional ways people have acquired Modern Warfare 3 prior to the release date The Heist: Just before MWB's release, a group of evidently die-hard COD fans used tear gas to roba truck containing 6,000 MW3 games, valued at $360,000, in Southern Paris. A car collided with the truck, causing it to stop, tear gas was used to distract the drivers while two men in ski masks fled with the games, a possible scenario for MW4? The MW3 release hasn't been without controversy. Let's look at some of the more controversial issues surrounding Modern Warfare 3 and its release Problems In Parliament: MW3 sparked controversy among UK MPs due to its violence. Keith Vaz, chair of the Home Affairs Committee, tabled an Early Day Motion attacking the game. 11 MPs have signed the motion. The motion says: "Players engage in gratuitous acts of violence against members of the public; notes in particular the harrowing scenes in which a London Underground train is bombed by terrorists, bearing a remarkable resemblence to the tragic events of 7th July 2005". To view the motion, scan the QR code above. Enemies: The CEO of EA (producers of the rival Battlefield franchise) is particularly hostile to COD. In a statement that may well come back to haunt him, he said: "The question is, if the gamer buys our game and the mass audience buys their game, where do the two meet?. All I want to do, if you will, is to have them rot from the core." Permabanned System: ERROR GAMERTAG has been temporarily banned from playing on the Call of Duty: MW3 servers. For more information, visit http://www.callofduty.com/mw3/heip. 4999 days remaining before access is granted. EXIT Receive the message above and you won't be enjoying MW3 multiplayer. When the team behind MW3 talked up the new banning system, they meant business. In a bid to combat cheating and the like the Permaban system was introduced, preventing players from accessing MW3 servers. Numerous players have already been banned from MW3 servers for 5,000 days - that's 14 years! The COD multiplayer is now more competitive than ever. Let's examine a few multiplayer tips for Modern Warfare 3 to help you survive longer. Multiplayer Tips: Never throw a grenade with a full timer, as doing so gives your target too much time to spot the grenade and escape before it detonates. Cooking your grenades hugely improves your chances of gaining a kill Using the USAS-12 doubles the duration a player can sprint. By combining the USAS-12 and perk Extreme Conditioning, you can extend the time you can sprint to 4x higher than normal - 16 seconds Plant a claymore at a choke point and fire your gun in bursts every so often. Doing this will light you up on the HUD, causing enemies to run towards your position. This will often gain you easy claymore kills You're at your most vulnerable when you're reloading. You can't do anything once you hit reload, making it one of the worst things you can do in the middle of a firefight. Always reload behind cover When you're in an exchange with an enemy, don't poke your head out, retreat and then poke your head out from the same spot. Instead, change levels or try and move round the cover to flank your enemy If you kill an enemy in the open during Kill Confirmed, instead of running and grabbing their dogtags, leave them to bait in opposing players. Be sure to change spots each time as KillCam will show your position The Call Of Duty franchise isn't all about making money. It may have made more than $1billion, but Modern Warfare 3 has also done its bit for the real armed forces. Call Of Duty Endowment: CO.D.E. CALL OF DUTY ENDOWMENT Conceived in 2009 by Bobby Kotick, the C.O.D.E is a non-profit public benefit corporation seeking to provide training and job placements for veterans. On Veterans Day 2011, Activision donated $3 million to the C.O.D.E, adding to the $2 million already donated. Activision Publishing Inc and composer Brian Tyler also announced that all proceeds from the MW3 soundtrack would be donated to the C.O.D.E.

Activision Some people simply couldn't wait for the official release Let's look at the more unconventional ways people have acquired Modern Warfare 3 prior to the release date The Heist: Just before MWB's release, a group of evidently die-hard COD fans used tear gas to roba truck containing 6,000 MW3 games, valued at $360,000, in Southern Paris. A car collided with the truck, causing it to stop, tear gas was used to distract the drivers while two men in ski masks fled with the games, a possible scenario for MW4? The MW3 release hasn't been without controversy. Let's look at some of the more controversial issues surrounding Modern Warfare 3 and its release Problems In Parliament: MW3 sparked controversy among UK MPs due to its violence. Keith Vaz, chair of the Home Affairs Committee, tabled an Early Day Motion attacking the game. 11 MPs have signed the motion. The motion says: "Players engage in gratuitous acts of violence against members of the public; notes in particular the harrowing scenes in which a London Underground train is bombed by terrorists, bearing a remarkable resemblence to the tragic events of 7th July 2005". To view the motion, scan the QR code above. Enemies: The CEO of EA (producers of the rival Battlefield franchise) is particularly hostile to COD. In a statement that may well come back to haunt him, he said: "The question is, if the gamer buys our game and the mass audience buys their game, where do the two meet?. All I want to do, if you will, is to have them rot from the core." Permabanned System: ERROR GAMERTAG has been temporarily banned from playing on the Call of Duty: MW3 servers.

Numerous players have already been banned from MW3 servers for 5,000 days - that's 14 years! The COD multiplayer is now more competitive than ever. Let's examine a few multiplayer tips for Modern Warfare 3 to help you survive longer. Multiplayer Tips: Never throw a grenade with a full timer, as doing so gives your target too much time to spot the grenade and escape before it detonates. Cooking your grenades hugely improves your chances of gaining a kill Using the USAS-12 doubles the duration a player can sprint. By combining the USAS-12 and perk Extreme Conditioning, you can extend the time you can sprint to 4x higher than normal - 16 seconds Plant a claymore at a choke point and fire your gun in bursts every so often. Doing this will light you up on the HUD, causing enemies to run towards your position. This will often gain you easy claymore kills You're at your most vulnerable when you're reloading. You can't do anything once you hit reload, making it one of the worst things you can do in the middle of a firefight. Always reload behind cover When you're in an exchange with an enemy, don't poke your head out, retreat and then poke your head out from the same spot. Instead, change levels or try and move round the cover to flank your enemy If you kill an enemy in the open during Kill Confirmed, instead of running and grabbing their dogtags, leave them to bait in opposing players. Be sure to change spots each time as KillCam will show your position The Call Of Duty franchise isn't all about making money. It may have made more than $1billion, but Modern Warfare 3 has also done its bit for the real armed forces. Call Of Duty Endowment: CO.D.E. CALL OF DUTY ENDOWMENT Conceived in 2009 by Bobby Kotick, the C.O.D.E is a non-profit public benefit corporation seeking to provide training and job placements for veterans. On Veterans Day 2011, Activision donated $3 million to the C.O.D.E, adding to the $2 million already donated. Activision Publishing Inc and composer Brian Tyler also announced that all proceeds from the MW3 soundtrack would be donated to the C.O.D.E.

Activision Some people simply couldn't wait for the official release Let's look at the more unconventional ways people have acquired Modern Warfare 3 prior to the release date The Heist: Just before MWB's release, a group of evidently die-hard COD fans used tear gas to roba truck containing 6,000 MW3 games, valued at $360,000, in Southern Paris. A car collided with the truck, causing it to stop, tear gas was used to distract the drivers while two men in ski masks fled with the games, a possible scenario for MW4? The MW3 release hasn't been without controversy. Let's look at some of the more controversial issues surrounding Modern Warfare 3 and its release Problems In Parliament: MW3 sparked controversy among UK MPs due to its violence. Keith Vaz, chair of the Home Affairs Committee, tabled an Early Day Motion attacking the game. 11 MPs have signed the motion. The motion says: "Players engage in gratuitous acts of violence against members of the public; notes in particular the harrowing scenes in which a London Underground train is bombed by terrorists, bearing a remarkable resemblence to the tragic events of 7th July 2005". To view the motion, scan the QR code above. Enemies: The CEO of EA (producers of the rival Battlefield franchise) is particularly hostile to COD. In a statement that may well come back to haunt him, he said: "The question is, if the gamer buys our game and the mass audience buys their game, where do the two meet?. All I want to do, if you will, is to have them rot from the core." Permabanned System: ERROR GAMERTAG has been temporarily banned from playing on the Call of Duty: MW3 servers. For more information, visit http://www.callofduty.com/mw3/heip. 4999 days remaining before access is granted. EXIT Receive the message above and you won't be enjoying MW3 multiplayer. When the team behind MW3 talked up the new banning system, they meant business. In a bid to combat cheating and the like the Permaban system was introduced, preventing players from accessing MW3 servers. Numerous players have already been banned from MW3 servers for 5,000 days - that's 14 years! The COD multiplayer is now more competitive than ever. Let's examine a few multiplayer tips for Modern Warfare 3 to help you survive longer. Multiplayer Tips: Never throw a grenade with a full timer, as doing so gives your target too much time to spot the grenade and escape before it detonates. Cooking your grenades hugely improves your chances of gaining a kill Using the USAS-12 doubles the duration a player can sprint. By combining the USAS-12 and perk Extreme Conditioning, you can extend the time you can sprint to 4x higher than normal - 16 seconds Plant a claymore at a choke point and fire your gun in bursts every so often. Doing this will light you up on the HUD, causing enemies to run towards your position. This will often gain you easy claymore kills You're at your most vulnerable when you're reloading. You can't do anything once you hit reload, making it one of the worst things you can do in the middle of a firefight. Always reload behind cover When you're in an exchange with an enemy, don't poke your head out, retreat and then poke your head out from the same spot. Instead, change levels or try and move round the cover to flank your enemy If you kill an enemy in the open during Kill Confirmed, instead of running and grabbing their dogtags, leave them to bait in opposing players. Be sure to change spots each time as KillCam will show your position The Call Of Duty franchise isn't all about making money. It may have made more than $1billion, but Modern Warfare 3 has also done its bit for the real armed forces. Call Of Duty Endowment: CO.D.E. CALL OF DUTY ENDOWMENT Conceived in 2009 by Bobby Kotick, the C.O.D.E is a non-profit public benefit corporation seeking to provide training and job placements for veterans.
