Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is the third installment in the Modern Warfare spin-offs of the Call of Duty series and the eighth installment in the whole Call of Duty series overall. Due to a legal dispute between Activision and Infinty Ward, which weakened the quality of the company, Sledgehammer Games will assist with single-player mode and Raven Software will do multi-player.
