Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III

by Infinity Ward / Activision

Task Force 141 is the most elite counter-terrorism unit in the world, and they are losing. Vladimir Makarov — the calmest, most ideological villain in franchise history — has just escaped prison with a plan that could reshape the global order. The third chapter of Infinity Ward's Modern Warfare trilogy brings Price, Soap, and Ghost through Europe, Urzikstan, and London in a race against a man who has been three steps ahead since before the first mission.
