Singleplayer
[details=Back Story]
Modern Warfare 3 will begin where the second game finished when the US is under siege by Russian forces, Vladmir Makarov is on the loose, and Captain Josh “Soap” MacTavish and Captain John Price are on the run with Russian informant, Nikolai.
While on the run, the three characters flee to a safehouse in Dharmasala, India, where they are then attacked by Makarov’s men. During this firefight, the player will take control of a loyalist who works for Nikolai and is called Yuri. Due to their location in the safehouse being known, the characters then flee via helicopter.
Where next? No other than Manhattan, New York City, where Russia is launching an attack on the city through the use of a fleet of ships that are positioned on the Hudson River. After the United States calls in Delta Force, the player will then take control of a Delta Force operative called Frost. Your commander is a guy named Sandman and your goal is to open the area for a counterattack by taking out a jamming tower that lies on top of the New York Stock Exchange.
While gunning down enemy choppers, Delta Force flies out of New York on a Blackhawk helicopter to the harbor where they will infiltrate and take down a Russian submarine that is believed to be coordinating the attacking.[/details]

Modern Warfare 3 Prestige Shop
[details=Open Me]
Modern Warfare 3 multiplayer was revealed during the opening briefing of Call of Duty XP. Along with the lots of details that were revealed, something called Prestige Shop was briefly mentioned. While they haven’t dived into specifics just yet, the Prestige Shop has quietly and quickly appeared in a recent video.
iMW3 » have uploaded a screen print of the Prestige Shop menu that appeared in the video. Although it’s blurry, we can just about make out the options that are listed in the shop menu.
MW3 Multiplayer - Prestige Shop

- Reset All Stats
- Double XP
- Double Weapon XP
- Unlock Gear
- Challenges 1
- Challenges 2
- Challenges 3
- Title And Emblem 1

This will most likely be welcomed by hardcore fans who go all the way by Prestiging up until the very end. The game’s maximum level is 80 but how many Prestiges there are is currently unknown. It appears that each Prestige will give you tokens that can be used to ‘buy’ whatever you want from the list above.
