Modern Warfare 3 releases at midnight tonight worldwide following a series of launch events across Europe in locations including London, Paris and Berlin.

Activision promises the video coverage will offer a unique opportunity to head behind the scenes of "the most prestigious launch event of the year".
There'll be interviews with developers Sledgehammer and Infinity Ward, content from No.1 selling UK artist Example, celebrity interviews, live coverage of a pan-European Modern Warfare 3 multiplayer tournament, link ups with the Berlin and Paris launch events, plus midnight store opening coverage.
A truck containing around 6,000 copies of Modern Warfare 3 was reportedly hijacked in France yesterday. Someone, it seems, just couldn't wait to get their hands on it.

Going to a midnight launch even is all fine and well if you're really hyped about a game, but watching such an event being streamed over the web... that's just sad.

Wanna see an awkward looking Vernon Kay go on stage again and try to convince everyone that he actually has the intelligence and physical dexterity (can anyone confirm he has opposable thumbs?) to play a video game.

To go with the theme of the game, a real life four year old strapped with C4 will be detonated at midnight!
