The Call of Duty XP held today in LA was the venue for the official release for the new Modern Warfare Multiplayer Footage trailer. The almost 4 min long trailer shows a lot of actual multiplayer gameplay footage as well as some new features like deployable turrets and the anti personnel bounding mine.

The newly-promoted exec Frank Gibeau told CVG that he doesn’t want to take things lightly. “If we’re going to go after a category, we intend to lead. We have a very big competitor there but they’re going to get some competition this Christmas for the first time in a long time.” He continued: “We’re going to take share from them and I think we’re going to grow the business significantly. We’re going to give them competition for the first time that they haven’t had.” “This Christmas we’re definitely going to take market share in the FPS category from those guys,” he concluded. “Customers like competition, they like these kind of heavyweight fights so we’re going for it.”

We have to wait and see how this heavyweight battle is going to turn out. All we know is that after years there is finally a new kid on the block not afraid for some competition. You can check the new Modern Warfare 3 trailer below.
