Record sales expected
-------------------------------------
The latest in the Call of Duty video games went on sale in the UK at midnight last night with over 500 stores holding special release openings.
Modern Warfare 3 follows on from events in it's predecessor. Players become special forces in the bid to stop a Russian invasion of the U.S.A and Europe.
The latest campaign is set across England, France, Germany, Africa, India and the Middle East.
Behind the scenes there is a real war going on after Activision fired the founders of Infinity Ward, the creators of the C.O.D. series, after they negotiated with rivals whilst under contract.
Jason West and Vincent Zampella were later described by Activision as 'insubordinate and self-serving schemers'. The two have sued Activision for unpaid royalty payments who have counter sued accusing the pair of holding secret talks with Electronic Arts.
The duo have have since set up a new studio, Respawn Entertainment, and have signed a deal with E.A. for publishing and distribution rights.
Activision bought another of it's teams, Sledgehammer Games, to help the remaining Infinity Ward members to complete Modern Warfare 3 which is expected to hit record sales.
The case is due to be held in Los Angeles in May, 2012.
