Modern Warfare 3 premiere event set for May 23

by Justin McElroy on May 19th 2011 1:42PM

We don't know about you, but we've just about had it with these mysterious viral campaigns. Take this, for example: A post on the Modern Warfare 3 Facebook page announces the game's world premiere is set for May 23 during "game 4 of the Western Conference Finals on ESPN."

The last conference meeting in the west? That sounds rather ominous. What is that code for? And why game 4? We thought they're showing off Modern Warfare 3? Where is ESPN, anyway? Is that short for España or something?

Please, Activision, we want to see your game -- just tell us how! As it stands, we're headed to the western part of Spain and looking for signs of dudes playing games together for the fourth and final time. Wish us luck.

[Thanks, H-F]

I never thought I could care less about a game this hard before.

@Gmail Calendar Rep

Your sentence structure makes it sound like you don't care about Modern Warfare 3 because of the perceived difficulty level. Also, shut up.

@Gmail Calendar Rep
Haters gonna hate...

@A Sandwich

Well played. Difficult games aren't any fun.

@A Sandwich

I want to eat you.

@Gmail Calendar Rep

Then why click on the article?

@Gmail Calendar Rep. Anything related to Bobby Kotick, i coulden't give 2 shits about.

@Captain Planet Planeteer Power

I want to be inside you..r stomach.

@NotZura And catchpraises gonna be feceal always

@Captain Planet Planeteer Power

Whoa, this took a weird turn.

@A Sandwich Or your mind is twisting my words because it doesn't suit your personal opinion.

@A Sandwich

NOM NOM NOM

@Captain Planet Planeteer Power Can i have some?

@Gmail Calendar Rep you cared enough to read this and comment on it, thats more than most people

@Mrguy you know that guy

...and now it's a DP. Awesome.

@A Sandwich

Actually it makes it sound like he generally loves games that are very difficult but does not care about this one in spite of its high difficulty.

@Vcize

Yep, you're right.

@MixingIt

"YOU'RE THE ONE DEFENDING A GAME I SWEAR TO GOD CAME OUT ALREADY."

How do you know this game came out already if it is not out yet?

@Mrguy you know that guy

NO MY SAMMICH

Too bad it's 2 days after the end of the world

@Osmium
I wish people would stop saying this. If you're going to make fun of those crazies, at least get it right! The end of the world is supposed (by their beliefs) to end on OCTOBER 21, NOT May 21. If you are selected to go to heaven...then you'll leave this earth on May 21.

@mywhitenoise

The world won't end on my watch.

@Osmium

That is some horrible advertising on christianity's part....having the rapture before psn goes back up...what noobs.

@Captain Planet Planeteer Power We appreciate it

@mywhitenoise
ENOUGH!
No one's going anywhere May 21! No man knows when the Rapture is coming. I could have put the May 21 thing together.
So you need to get it right, my good sir.

That article was funny

Pack me in a lunch box and take me with you, Joystiq! This I gotta see!

Let the COD bashing commence !

wow, you actually wrote España with ñ

@DarkSonata

A for "esfuerzo"

o wait...

@MixingIt

You couldn't be referring to this, could you?

http://wii.ign.com/articles/116/1164533p1.html

More like Call of Booty: Modern Whorefare 3, amirite?

@Mrguy you know that guy

no.

@Mrguy you know that guy

In fact less like that than anything that ever has been or ever will be combined with all of the things that could potentially exist in this or any and all possible versions of reality.

@A Sandwhich

That was you, blowing my mind.

@A Sandwich

I have to admit, you're well spoken for a deli delectable.

Yay!!! Captain's ensuring my b-day isn't the day of doom!!!

@MixingIt

Not at all.

im hoping for dedicated servers on the PC and not that crap IW NET

meh........ IW is all broken up i too could care less

@Protege420 But it's got a brand name and the near exact same multiplayer so everyone has to latch onto as the god's gift to gaming.

@Gmail Calendar Rep
sorry...... but meh

I'm not the biggest COD fan, but I am still interested to see how they will build on it. I think we can all agree it's interesting at least.

You're slipping , Justin.

@xFenixKnightx

The loss of the podcast affects us all differently.

Speaking of which, it's almost 3PM here in upstate NY; I feel as though there is something I am supposed to be doing...

Oh. Sadface.

I want this game. But if MW3 & Battlefield 3 end up coming out on the same day I'm getting BF3!!!

@Dukk420

Pretty much the same week.

thats odd because my "i don't give two sh!ts" event is on that same day... coincidence? maybe, bad joke? definitely.

Am I the only person that's not amused by this new-age marketing? I don't care about Facebook or Twitter marketing campaigns, nor will I tune in to Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals just to wait for the MW3 reveal. Just show us the game and the rest will take care of itself.

@Padilla7921

You are a sad, strange little man, and you have my pity.
