but ultra realistic near-future conflict of mostly American forces with those of the Russian Federation around the
globe. The third installment in the Modern Warfare branch of the Call of Duty franchise, Modern
Warfare 3 features a heavy focus on multiplayer gameplay which includes innovative new functionality that
encourages multiple gameplay combat strategies, a new 2-player co-op option, new play modes, weapons and more. The

off, and game integration with the Call of Duty: Elite online service.
Do What is Necessary in the Face of Invasion
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is a direct sequel to the previous game in the series, Call of Duty:

characters from Delta Force and the British SAS. Engage enemy forces in New York, Paris, Berlin and other attack
sites across the globe. The world stands on the brink, and Makarov is intent on bringing civilization to its knees.
In this darkest hour, are you willing to do what is necessay.
Multiplayer That is Bigger and Better Than Ever
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 delivers a multiplayer experience that continues to raise the bar by
focusing on fast-paced, gun-on-gun combat, along with innovative features that support and enhance a large variety
of play-styles. Now, you can truly define your approach with a toolkit more expansive than any previous title.
Pointstreaks and Strike Packages
Killstreaks, benefits and abilities awarded for stringing together multiple kills, have been transformed into
Pointstreaks, creating a system that rewards players both for landing kills and completing objectives. These
rewards have been broken up into three different categories, known as Strike Packages:
- Assault - Pointstreaks within this package chain together and deal direct damage. It includes classics like
the Predator Missile and Attack Helicopter. Your streak resets on death.
- Support - Pointstreaks within this package do not chain, focusing instead on surveillance and disruption.
Your streak does not reset on death meaning they will respawn with you.
- Specialist - Pointstreaks within this package are designed for advanced players. Rewards come in the form
of additional perks for optimal performance. These perks last until death.
Weapon Proficiencies
Just like your player, weapons now rank up, unlocking additional attachments, reticules, camos and the new
proficiency category. Weapon Proficiencies not only allow you to get better with weapons, they also allow you
customize your weapons with helpful attributes such as "Kick" for reduced recoil, "Impact" for deeper penetration
through hard surfaces and much more. Many proficiencies are specific to their weapons class. And all are geared
towards enhancing a certain play style and can allow for efficient use of your favorite weapons in maps and game
modes in which they might not otherwise be the best choice.
Modes and Match Customization
Along with the return of the fan favorites Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 introduces several new game
modes. Collect dog tags from killed players, including those on your squad while you prevent the opposing squad
from taking yours in Kill Confirmed mode. In Team Defender mode, grab the flag and protect the flag carrier for as
long as you can to increase your team's score. In addition players will enjoy user generated match mode
functionality which allows you to configure any mode how you want it and then share these over the Call of
Duty: Elite online service.
2-player Co-op Special Ops Survival Mode
Special Ops cooperative action returns with a bevy of additions, including 16 new objective-based missions and
the all-new Survival Mode. Team up online, locally, or play solo and face endless waves of attacking enemies
throughout every multiplayer map. Purchase and customize your weapons, air support, equipment and abilities to
stand up against increasingly difficult forces and land a spot on the leaderboards. Earn experience and rank up
with the newly implemented progression system. The higher the rank, the more weapons, air support, and gear
armories you will have available to customize so you can change your tactics on the fly. In addition to the action
packed battle for freedom, the cooperative Survival Mode also serves as an effective training tool for competitive
multiplayer action.
Call of Duty: Elite
Call of Duty: Elite is an online multiplayer oriented service launched simultaneously with Call of
Duty: Modern Warfare 3. The service offers both free and subscription based levels of access and is dedicated
to the game franchise, featuring lifetime statistics across multiple games, social-networking options,
competitions, a mobile app, Facebook integration and more. Users will also be able to choose from specialized
workout routines that focus on all-around individual personal fitness goals or certain target areas. And with the
addition of activities like Skateboarding and Rhythm Kung Fu, players will be using the Wii Balance Board accessory
in a variety of new and fun ways.
Gameplay
As with the original Wii Fit release, Wii Fit Plus is designed, as its name implies, to improve the user's fitness.
The game contains a large number of activities that fall into a variety of categories, including: yoga,
aerobics, strength training and balance games. With all but a few exceptions, which utilize variations on a
standard Wii Remote configuration, all activities utilize the Wii Balance Board (included with this bundle),
either alone or configured with either a Wii Remote alone or the Wii Remote and nunchuck. The Balance Board,
like any other Wii controller acts as a motion/pressure sensing device wirelessly synched to your Wii and
replicating your body's movements. Each controller employed occupies one of the Wii's four wireless inputs,
together mapping the reference points needed to recreate most full body motions on screen. Although this limits
the majority of the activities to a single player orientation, various activities throughout the game support up
to eight players in alternating play.
To use Wii Fit Plus players import their Miis from their Wii system, set up
profiles, establish a current physical baseline, set fitness goals, and embark on a routine to reach them. Wii
Fit Plus tracks your usage, weight and progress towards your goal over time, giving you a status report as you
start each session. At any time players can choose whatever activity they want, whether exercise or balance game,
and as they progress in these they will level up in each, gaining points, setting high scores and unlocking more
activities.
Personalization Option Via 'The Locker Room'
The original Wii Fit was designed to have something for everyone. Now Wii Fit Plus raises the bar by providing users with personalization options
that allow them to find/create a specific workout routine that is exactly right for them, their family and their
lifestyle. One example of this is "The Locker Room." Easily accessible throughout the game, here players can
choose from a number customizable options that allow them to maximize their time with Wii Fit Plus
without having to navigate through the game menu while in the middle of a workout. In essence this allows
players to become their own personal trainer. Customization options available within The Locker Room include:
preprogrammed and timed Wii Fit Plus Routines; My Routine, where you choose your own set of activities,
optimizing their length and area of the body to be focused on; and Favorites, a notation of activities you
frequent, which provides fast access to exercises you enjoy doing the most.
Addition Yoga and Strength Exercises
Designed as an addition to the already substantial list of focused, physical exercises available in Wii Fit,
Wii Fit Plus contains six new and challenging strength and yoga activities. But continuing with the game's
commitment to personalization, the key to these additions is not in their volume, but in how the player chooses to
mix and match them. Do them in the order they are presented, or combine them in whatever order you want. The choice
is yours. The player even has the ability to repeat the ones that he/she prefers, maximizing attention and effort
where it is needed most. In addition, for those to whom time is a commodity, you can now omit unnecessary
interludes between exercises, making for a continuous, timesaving routine.
A Wealth of New Balance Games
Regardless of the considerable fitness factor packed into Wii Fit Plus, the Nintendo brand is and will always be all about having fun. With
that in mind Wii Fit Plus also comes packed with 15 new, entertaining balance games suitable for every
member of the family. Just a few of those that players can expect to see are: Juggling; Skateboarding; Snowball
Fight; Obstacle Course, a log-leaping, cannonball-evading event reminiscent of what Nintendo icon Mario must go
through; and Perfect 10, a balance game designed to promote a combination of physical and mental health. In this
final example the player's Mii is situated between multiple color-coated balls, each showing specific numbers,
with the goal to swing your hips, hula style, in different directions to tap out a total of ten as many times as
possible before time runs out.
