Gaming Follow Fridays - #3 Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3

In this third instalment of a regular feature that gives you the lowdown on the best gaming Twitter accounts to follow, here's some exclusive intel on the best Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 people active on the mighty Twitter right now... (and here's our Battlefield 3 Follow Friday feature from last week in case you sit on that side of the fence (or Skyrim if youprefer a bit of RPG adventuring to modern combat)).

It's not long now. The unstoppable gaming juggernaut that is Call of Duty is set to release the third entry in the much lauded Modern Warfare series next tuesday so what better time to catch up on the news?

A remarkable amount has been tweaked and fine tuned for this fan-pleasing installment, including an ace new survival mode, and the campaign is looking as wonderfully absurd and Michael Bay as always. Hopefully the current king of the linear military shooter can show Battlefield 3 how its done after its rather uninspired campaign.

So get on it! Follow the hype this weekend, it'll be fun, and with monthly DLC planned they'll probably be twittering about Modern Warfare 3 for a while...
