Some will will probably hate this post but here it is! Worth noting off the bat ... MW3 will have  Dedicated servers, like Cod4, no set host, anyone can do it. Hopefully this will include mod tools on day 1. I know this is a big promise to keep but if its accurate ...holy shit they really did it! COD fans can probably thank the release of BF3 for this as they are trying to compete as much as possible.

Release: Nov 8 2011
