What’s the latest on Modern Warfare 3?

Modern Warfare 3, little more than Modern Warfare 2 DLC?

We know that Call of Duty games have come in for criticism, due to it basically being the same product on an annual basis but it does seem to be a winning formula. And whilst this criticism is not without merit, fans may be surprised to learn that this years title is slightly different.

But what makes it different? Well fans may be surprised to learn that the content for Modern Warfare 3 will be coming in the way of add-ons for Modern Warfare 2. And it also looks like the Beta codes for MW3 are using the same concept ID as that of MW2, which, surprise surprise, means that these are essentially just the codes from last years game, just a reissue.

Furthermore, it appears from this code that there is a suggestion that MW2 will be changing to a Call of Duty Hub, having MW2, MW3 and Warzone appearing in the one menu.

There appears to be certain debate about how much the upcoming title will cost with rumours stating that it will be priced at $70, which has not sat well with some fans given the most recent news about the game being essentially MW2. Others have rumoured that it may be as little as $40 but with the game due to be revealed in an in-game event for Warzone on 17 August, we won’t have long before we find out.
