Auf der Electronic Entertainment Expo 2011 wurden weitere interessante Infos zum Shooter enthüllt.
Von der E3 2011 gibt es brandneue News zu Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. In der Gameplay Presentation von der E3 2011, die ihr unten im Video findet, spielt man als "Frost" in New York. Die Mission heißt "Hunter Killer". Im einem weiteren Video wird die Mission "Black Tuesday" vorgestellt.
Außerdem wurde auf der E3 2011 der Survival Modus, eine Spievariante des Spec Ops-Modus, gezeigt. In diesem Modus muss man gegen Wellen von Gegnern antreten. Mehr dazu erfahrt ihr auf der Website gameinformer.com: Modern Warfare 3's Survival Mode Spices Up Spec Ops. Der Survival-Modus lässt sich im Splitscreen-Modus oder online spielen. Tötet man Feinde, so erhält man Spielgeld, das man an Computern, die auf der Map verteilt sind, benutzen kann, um Munition, Waffen, Upgrades, Ausrüstungsgegenstände, Support, Last Stand Perks, Rüstuns, Auto Turrets und Luftunterstützung zu erhalten. Außerdem wird es auch sog. Kamikaze Dogs geben.

Infinity Ward gab jetzt bekannt, dass man entgegen der Gerüchte über "Dedicated Server" nachdenkt. Robert Bowling von Infinity Ward sagte, dass man daran arbeite, dass PC-Spieler vollkommen ausgestattet sind: “In Modern Warfare 3, I’ve been trying to reach out to our PC guys. We had some of the [PC] guys come out to the studio a few weeks ago. We have them here. We brought them here so they can see the stuff we’re showing off. We’re putting a lot of focus there, to make sure that our PC community has all the bells and whistles. So, the guys that have the powerhouse machines, that they can crank it up and enjoy the game. It’s very important for us on the PC to make sure we have a solid min-spec base–so that the majority of our PC users can enjoy the game out-of-box, run it smooth, exactly how they expect. That’s very key for us. You’d be surprised how that can easily be overlooked. We’re making sure the PC is up and running from day one, and it’s running smooth on min-spec and beyond throughout the entire development process. As you get later on in the development cycle, you get to the point where you start focusing on PC-specific features. It’s the one platform out of Xbox 360, PS3 and PC that has specific things that go only into that version. That stuff comes a little later. I can’t confirm anything yet, but right now we’re having conversations about dedicated servers, mod tools and post launch support. I can’t give you an answer yet on what will be included. In Modern Warfare 3 we added IWnet, which was all about matchmaking–with the plan to eventually add in dedicated servers. My ideal philosophy on the PC is to have matchmaking for the ‘mass.’ Have matchmaking for the guys who just want to jump in, hit ‘play game’ and start playing. But let’s not lose that dedicated core audience that wants the dedicated server experience. We’re looking at ways to on how to incorporate that into Modern Warfare 3. We’ve been listening a lot to our PC guys who have been very vocal since Modern Warfare 2 about what they want to see come back to our versions of the franchise. We’re having those discussions now. I don’t want to confirm, but we’re looking to support [dedicated servers] as much as possible.”, so der Entwickler.
GameStop gab zudem bekannt, dass die Anzahl der Vorbesteller von Modern Warfare 3, die der von Black Ops im letzten Jahr überholt hat. Demnach könnte es sein, dass MW3 wieder Rekorde bricht.
Bob McKenzie, SVP of Merchandising at GameStop sagte, dass die Vorbesteller-Zahlen von Modern Warfare 3 demnach auch die Vorbesteller-Zahlen von Modern Warfare 2 überholt haben. “Last year, Call of Duty: Black Ops became the most pre-ordered title in our history,” sagte McKenzie. “Already, this year, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is significantly ahead of that pace. Our customers’ response to the reveal of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 has been amazing.”
Treyarch hatte sich noch im letzten CoD-Spiel Black Ops dafür entschieden, dass die Quick Scoping-Funktion nicht im Spiel enthalten sein wird. Zur Freude der Fans bestätigte Infinity Ward aber, dass es dieses Feature warscheinlich in Modern Warfare 3 wieder geben wird. Der Community Manager Robert Bowling sagte: “Currently, you can still quick scope in Modern Warfare 3. Keep in mind though, multiplayer is always changing at this stage (new perks, new balancing, new everything all the time based on feedback), however our philosophy on that hasn’t changed since MW2.” Durch die Zielhilfe ließen sich Feinde zum Teil automatisch anvisieren. Dennoch ist es noch nicht klar, ob es das Feature wirklich bis in die finale Version schaffen wird.
