Modern Warfare 3 reveal premiere set for May 23

Activision puts date on its sequel reveal

It looks like your first glimpse of Modern Warfare 3 will come on May 23 - this Monday - via US sports network ESPN.

Activision has announced via the Modern Warfare 3 Facebook page that the game will premiere during the Western Conference Finals.

In its own words: "Tune in for the Modern Warfare 3 World Premiere on May 23rd during game 4 of the Western Conference Finals on ESPN," says the page, putting the official stamp on numerous previous reports.

Now, for people who don't follow sport (like this editor) and think the 'Western Conference Finals' sounds more like a political event, it's actually an NBA thing that, presumably, a lot of people care about.

Google tells us that 'Game 4' will be Dallas at Oklahoma City, taking place on May 23 at 9 p.m ET (2am, May 24 UK time). That's the time to be on the internet hammering F5, then.

What will you get? Hopefully a gameplay trailer during the ad break. Anything less will be mighty frustrating after all this damn teasing.

    Before all the cool kids begin saying how terrible call of duty games are to save face, and then buy the game any way. I seriously can't wait for this game. Really wanna see how the new I dub performs- even though they already have the superior engine compared to treyarchs attempts, I'd like to see how they differentiate this game to mw2, which was a fantastic fun game, but was borderline too arcadey, but ultimately had some fantastic ideas which even kept all the haters playing.
    Here's to hoping they don't try TOO hard and ruin an already proven formula. On a scale of Cod4 on the left and MW2 on the right, I'd like to see this one bang in the middle.

    What is left to reveal? Kotaku basically leaked everything of importance. I don't hate cod with a passion like most people on here but i find it pretty hard to get hyped up for the same game every year. I will buy this one, but not at full price and not on release day.
