Yes, it’s that time of year again when Activision roll out the first reveal trailer of the next Call of Duty game ready for release in November. This time it’s Modern Warfare 3, and it’s a predictable affair: real-life locations have come under siege, husky soldiers riot through sprawling urban locations guns blazing, and helicopters crash and explode with cinematic bombast. And not to be outdone by Battlefield 3, it too has a falling skyscraper shot straight out of Transformers 3.

The trailer also hints at the game’s globe-trotting locations which includes the likes of Germany, France and England which is a refreshing change from the Middle East.

Set your sights on the first gameplay reveal of Modern Warfare 3 after the jump.

One thing’s for certain: this November is going to be an all-out war between this and the opposing Battlefield 3. Now that we’ve seen footage of both contenders, which has you gunning for glory the most? If you ask me, Battlefield 3′s Frostbite 2.0 tech and solid multiplayer reputation gives it the edge, but Call of Duty’s unstoppable fanfare will probably say otherwise.
