Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 3 To Obliterate Pre-Order Record

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is set to become the most pre-ordered game of all time.

Retailers GAME have said the new installment of the Call of Duty series is set to break the record currently held by last year's Call of Duty: Black Ops.

Managing director Tom Levine told Digital Spy: "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 pre-orders are already tracking significantly ahead of Call of Duty: Black Ops at the same time last year.

"We know that the Call of Duty brand and franchise has the most amazing fanbase and we've got some great surprises lined up for those who pre-order with us."

He added: "We're looking forward to an incredible launch on November 8."

Black Ops is the best selling UK game of all time, surpassing the previous holder, and fellow COD game, Modern Warfare 2.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is due for release on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC on November 8.
