|PR:Activision| Anticipation, lining up in the cold, the joy of the first bullet fired are all symptoms of unboxing a new Call of Duty game. After the breakout success of the first-ever Call of Duty XP live fan event, and pre-order numbers toppling last years' Call of Duty: Black Ops, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is now available at retail worldwide.

Activision's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 kicked off its worldwide invasion at midnight as gamers crashed launch parties at over 13,000 retailers from Sydney to London to New York City, intent on being among the first to pull the trigger on the title dubbed "the most anticipated video game in history" by GameStop's Senior Vice President of Merchandising, Bob McKenzie.

Co-developed by Infinity Ward and Sledgehammer Games, Modern Warfare 3 delivers a full assault on gamers' senses, including an intense single-player campaign that picks up immediately following the events of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and escalates into World War 3, as well as groundbreaking upgrades to the beloved Special Ops like the all-new Survival Mode. Special Ops serves as the perfect springboard to Modern Warfare 3's re-imagined multiplayer, featuring the series' trademark visceral gun-on-gun combat, a revamped pointstreak system with the introduction of "Strike Packages," devastating new modes like "Kill Confirmed" and other gameplay enhancements, new features and a bevy of new weapons, equipment, and perks.

This includes a Xbox 360 Limited Edition Console package, featuring a console with custom Call of Duty MW3 artwork, a 320GB hard drive, two wireless controllers, custom Modern Warfare-inspired system audio and a copy of the game.

Following the phenomenal success of the first-ever Call of Duty fan celebration Call of Duty XP, Jeep, Mountain Dew, and Xbox 360 have continued to support Activision and the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare saga. For the second year in a row, the Jeep brand will produce a 2012 Wrangler Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Special Edition vehicle for fans. While Mountain Dew is driving the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 "Rank Up Your Game" Double XP promotion - where fans get Double XP time in the game with every purchase of specially marked packages of DEW. These partnerships are components of an amazing multi-million dollar marketing blitz that promises to make an already historic entertainment launch even more memorable.
