VIDEO: Globetrotting Modern Warfare 3 to blow-up New York, London, Paris

Activision have revealed the first in-game footage from Modern Warfare 3, the latest instalment in the most popular first-person shooter series of all time.

Rather than focussing on Middle-Eastern conflicts or covert ops in the Balkans, Modern Warfare 3 looks set to focus on urban warfare, with major cities like London, New York and Paris coming under intense fire.

As a result, the trailer above shows heated street battles taking place in Manhattan outside the Stock Exchange, beneath London’s Big Ben and even a crazy chase through London’s underground system culminating in a tube crash.

We were lucky enough to see two whole levels worth of action yesterday at an Activision pre-E3 event. Check back to Tech Digest on May 26th for all the juicy, explosive details.
