5 Original Maps found on MW3 Disc

from charlieintel.com:

Several news outlets are reporting that Infinity Ward and Sledgehammer games might have already started working on possible “Classic” or “Remastered” versions of previous Modern Warfare maps for MW3 as it appears there might be some files hidden on the game disc. Keep in mind these are only map names found and are subject to change. Also there is no indication the maps were already finished prior to launch.
According to WeTheGamerz, “..there are some extra map files along side group of standard multiplayer maps that share names with maps from previous members of the Modern Warfare family.”

Once again, this is all unconfirmed, however once we hear anything we’ll let you know.

US Pre-Order Numbers for Modern Warfare 3 VS. Battlefield 3

From Charlieintel:

 

With less than a week to go for Battlefield 3 and less than 3 weeks for Modern Warfare 3, we thought it would be a good time to compare near final pre-order numbers for one of the biggest FPS wars of the century.
Modern Warfare 3
-Xbox 360: 1,719,144
-PS3: 672,562
-Total: 2,391,706
Battlefield 3
-Xbox 360: 1,072,593
-PS3: 448,616
-Total: 1,521,209
No one really expected Battlefield 3 to outsell Modern Warfare 3 (even according to EA), yet there’s no question that BF3 has created more hype and obtained 6x the amount of pre-orders as its predecessor Bad Company 2. However even with a 5 month head start, Modern Warfare 3 has managed to capture 1,170,497 more pre-orders than BF3… FTW
*Interestingly enough, Battlefield 3 has been marketed as a “PC Lead” title, however BF3 console pre-orders are beating PC pre-orders (146,809) at a rate of 10 to 1.

**Also, Playstation 3 has access to BF3 DLC one week early, yet Xbox 360 pre-orders are beating PS3 at a rate of 2 to 1.
