E3 2011: Modern Warfare 3 - 13 minute gameplay video

Black Tuesday mission shows America crumbling under Russian invasion

See all of CVG's E3 2011 coverage

Here's 13 minutes of uninterrupted Modern Warfare 3 gameplay showing off the shooter's Black Tuesday mission.

With America struggling to cope with a Russian invasion force, it sees you tasked with fighting your way to the US Stock Exchange.

Quietly released on Monday via GameTrailers (sorry, we missed it), the movie features street-based gunplay and rooftop sniping, while the player also gets to use a UAV to drop missiles on opposition troops from the sky and a mounted helicopter gun to take out enemy choppers.

If you didn't see it the other day, Infinity Ward showed off a load more Modern Warfare 3 gameplay at Microsoft's E3 press conference, including gunplay aboard a Russian sub attacking the American coastline and a boat driving sequence.

    They need to show some multiplayer soon because this bored me to tears.

    Visually impressive. Doesn't look a million miles away from the BF3 urban footage really. I too am now waiting for multiplayer action and info. I really enjoyed the MW2 multiplayer game, so if it can better that i will be chuffed. BLOPS doesn't quite cut it for me like the MW games. It doesn't keep my attention for quite as long. I think its the overall look of BLOPS multiplayer, it looks rough around the edges.

    I feel the same as you Headsrinker. BLOPS didn't quite hold my attention as much as MW2 did, so I'm sure I'll be happy when we see multiplayer footage for MW3.
    This did look shiny and fun, but at the same time I do agree that it is quite copy/paste. But then I'm not as bothered about the single player as much.

    agreed, they could really do with a new engine. Battlefield 3 is gonna p**s all over this, then take a dump in bowling's face just for good measure.

    You must be kidding if you think this doesn't look far off BF3's visual quality. This is STILL using the same Dream engine CoD4 was using. It looks pretty much identical to that. BF3, no, even BFBC2 looked an arse ton better than this. BF3 is just on another planet to this.
    Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed CoD4 mp and even MW2 to an extent, but Black Flops was the last game of theirs I buy.
    They have no respect for their customers and will continue to over charge as long as people are stupid enough to buy it.
    I seriously hope MW3 fails big time.

    So, more of exactly the same then. CoD fans will be happy. For me, the engine is really starting to show it's age, especially when put alongside BF3. Although, in fairness, this MW3 footage is taken from the 360, and the BF3 footage we've seen is from a cutting edge PC. Whilst watching this video, I was reminded why corridor shooters just don't do it for me anymore.

    That looked pretty but by god did it look dull as hell. Not saying this as a Battlefield 3 troll (not getting that either) but it seems the campaign is gonna be like Transformers 2; so much boom boom and pew pew without much else that it just gets stagnant and tiring. It'll probably still be a good game, and it definitely will have a huge audience; it just won't be something I buy unless it does something different to revitalise the franchise.

    But don't forget Infinity Ward will deliberately sabotage the PS3 version after MS write a nice juicy cheque to Activision :wink:.

    We've also seen a tiny amount of BF3 PS3 footage and yes it does look better than this.

    I wasn't kidding actually. Noticed how i stated 'urban' also. I can tell you now that the next 3 BF games will use the frostbite 2 engine. Will you be equally critical of this when the time comes? No because your not a BF hater, your a COD hater.

    (for the record i play both, so i dont hate on either before u accuse me of being a COD fanboy)

    Some of the comments to fellow Gamers by Gamers about looking forward to this Game is nothing short of shocking!

    You dont like it, you dont want it? Fine. Lay off the people that do!

    Average fps, looks average. I'll wait for something like Bioshock: Infinate or RAGE to excite my trigger finger.

    i think it looks quite nice graphically. I am sure I could see the engines age more on a PC in front of me rather than video footage, but it looks nice. I am more of a single player person myself. People with older PC's will be quite happy that their rig could run this. That's one of the plus points of an older engine.

    Super Mario 3 is the best! Deal with it!! :mrgreen:

    One thing i wish they would change besides the graphics engine is the sounds of the guns and explosions theres nothing that makes a game seem more intense than realistic and loud sounds some of the guns really do sound like pew pew pew lol but im def looking forward to this and BF3 im glad im not full of hate and negativity and i can enjoy them all

    i used to like cod franchise but they really need to change direction or make some bigger improvement... see the same game every year is frustrating even for a fan

  20. Lurf on 9 Jun '11 said:

    Looks like the same old boring gameplay and cheesy hollywood type storytelling. Graphics wise I think it's far below par for on of the most profitable gaming franchises. In other words COD sucks and will keep on sucking.

    This is my first post , and i need to say what a whiney little bunch of bitches some of you are Battlefield 3 and Modern Warfare 3 will have a decent campaign and a very good multiplayer but CoD will be CoD and have its crappy hosted servers , Battlefield Bad Company 2 was the only game iv played on ps3 that didn't have any lag or people getting booted hopefully Battlefield 3 will be the same . You all do realise this is june right Battlefield 3 doesn't come out till october Modern Warfare 3 released november f**king argue about it then . 1 more thing on this subject Battlefield 3 will have a Beta theirfore will get feedback from its fans Modern Warfare 3 wont so it like Black Ops will probably need 3 patches in its first month on sale. ps im not critici sing Modern Warfare 3 im criticising the developers.
    il be buying both so im staying out of this stupid argument
