 The official gameplay reveal for this year's Call Of Duty has proven all the rumours true, which isn't necessarily good news… Activision has had its big unveil event for this year's Call Of Duty, with the first footage of the game in action and details of the story campaign, multiplayer, and Zombies modes. As has been the norm for the last few years, it took place within Warzone, confirming that Modern Warfare 3 will be a direct sequel to last year's game – something which Activision claims it planned all along, but which others suggest is actually a result of it being repurposed DLC. Considering the leakers got everything else right about the game it's easy to assume they're right about that too, although that's certainly not something Activision is ever likely to admit in public. As already confirmed, the story will involve Captain Price and Task Force 141 going up against the evil Vladimir Makarov, in a story that otherwise seems to have little in common with the original Modern Warfare 3 from 2011. There did seem to be some interesting new elements to the campaign, with the addition of Open Combat Missions. These are open-ended, optional objectives that seem to be take place across the whole of a particular level, rather than just being quickly completed secondary objectives. Activision previously described Zombies mode as 'the largest Zombies offering to date' and this is in part because it allows multiple teams to play on the same, extra large, map, which does sound neat. It'll still be part of the Dark Aether saga, though, so it's not a reboot or anything.
