We’re really excited to start showing our fans what they can expect from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3,” Activision’s European marketing director for COD Daniel Green told MCV.

With over 7m YouTube views of our reveal trailer since it was released on Tuesday, it seems our fans are just as excited.”
