 Many fans aren't thrilled to learn that Modern Warfare 3 will cost full price, despite reportedly starting life as DLC. Activision will be unveiling Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 tomorrow, on Thursday, August 17, but fans already know quite a bit about it thanks to official information and leaks. It'll launch on November 10, there'll be a beta session in October (one that will open early for PlayStation owners as usual), and it'll cost as much as Modern Warfare 2 did. While Modern Warfare 3 reportedly began as a DLC expansion for Modern Warfare 2, Activision has since described it as a 'premium release,' meaning they're charging the usual $70/£70 for it, and some fans aren't particularly thrilled to hear that. 'As stated in numerous Activision Blizzard quarterly conference calls, Modern Warfare 3 is a premium release. It will be priced accordingly at $70,' an Activision spokesperson told CharlieINTEL. Activision, unsurprisingly, hasn't commented on or admitted to it starting out as DLC, but since so much of the player base already perceives it as such, not many are happy about paying full price for what they see as a glorified expansion pack. '$70? Well skipping for another year. This is literally a scam,' says Reddit user Mountain-Adeptness94. NotFakeJacob concurs, saying 'I'll be skipping this year, Modern Warfare 2 was the biggest video game disappointment of all time. Probably won't give Activision my money ever again, unless we get a good Black Ops 2 or Advanced Warfare remaster.' 'Haven't bought a Call Of Duty game since Modern Warfare, don't plan on buying one at full price that features recycled content from previous games. It'll be the equivalent of a $30 expansion,' adds MikeJ91. The latter is a reference to rumours from Twitter user el_bobberto (the same person responsible for leaking info from a private Modern Warfare 3 test) that none of Modern Warfare 3's maps are brand new and are instead rema){kind=link}
