The newest chapter of the Call of Duty franchise, Modern Warfare 3, was released this morning on Long Island. The Call of Duty first-person shooter action series continues the campaign storyline from MW2. American forces struggle against a mainland invasion by the Russian Federation following the framing of an undercover U.S. agent in a terrorist attack on Moscow.
The game has all the classic gameplay of the series, but this time around, MW3 has deeper multiplayer game modes and ramped-up graphics.
Newsday.com video journalist Daryl Thomen braved the midnight release of MW3 in East Meadow. Check out what he saw above and also some early reviews of MW3 below.
* Joystiq: 4.5/5: Modern Warfare 3 is a great Call of Duty game, just as every other entry in the franchise is a great Call of Duty game. However, it shares more than quality with its predecessors: Like its forefathers, it leaves you waiting for something perfect.
