With Infinity Ward, Sledgehammer Games, and Raven Software now working as a team on MW3, it certainly suggests they are looking to get the game released as early as possible. If Modern Warfare 3 does hit the shelves for November you can be sure of record breaking sales, but you have to wonder whether the creators vision of a “95 plus rated game” will be successful.
