E3 2011: 8 Minutes Of Gameplay Footage For Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 3

So here’s the real determiner right here, the ace in the hole, the ball in the pocket, the coup de grace: Eight whole minutes of gameplay footage to see if Modern Warfare 3 really does separate itself from the annual outings that some feel ruined the franchise. All right folks, brace yourselves, prep your flame suits and go in expecting nothing, you can check out all eight minutes of the single-player gameplay right here.

Activision presented the footage during Microsoft’s E3 2011 press conference earlier today. The new video features a lengthy mission from start to finish, and all the nifty gameplay mechanics you would expect from a sequel to Modern Warfare 2.

Now you can compare the eight minutes of gameplay footage here from Modern Warfare 3 with the 12 minutes of gameplay footage from Battlefield 3 and see which one looks better. Honestly, BF3 still has me blown away and the set pieces of MW3 are impressive but they certainly don’t compare to the realtime physics for the Frostbite 2.0.
