Modern Warfare 3 on track to beat pre-order records

MCV Staff 18th July 2011 Business News

Every series has a heyday, but any belief that Call of Duty’s may have passed can be quickly dismissed.

Retailer GAME has told MCV that pre-orders for this November’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 are tracking significantly” ahead of last year’s Black Ops.

And, of course, Black Ops is a world-record breaking best seller. In fact, GAME predicts MW3 is on track to shatter all UK pre-order records and is likely to become the company’s best selling title ever.

"Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 pre-orders are already tracking significantly ahead of Call of Duty: Black Ops at the same time last year,” GAME Group MD Tom Devine stated.

We know that the Call of Duty brand and franchise has the most amazing fan-base and we’ve got some great surprises lined up for those who pre-order with us. We’re looking forward to an incredible launch on November 8th."

More than 4 million people have played Core Keeper, and every one of them started the same way, waking in a dark cavern beside an ancient Core that has lain dormant for aeons. Pugstorm and Fireshine Games, the game's developer and publisher, have now worked with Scan to build that Core into a real gaming PC. It is one of a kind, and it is the prize in the Global Games Draw, a new prize draw for Into Games, a UK charity that helps young people from working class backgrounds into careers in games. Every entry raises money for that work.
