Okay, so Activision is apparently spending more money than ever before to market the next iteration of what was once a lovingly crafted PC FPS game.

MW3 promises lots of things that look flashier, more action packed and containing more explosions than the latest Transformers movie. But just like that same film, you have to look back at its predecessors and shake your head sadly at what could have been and what it became.

With extremely stiff competition from the PC-focused Battlefield 3, will PC gamers chance their arm once again on a franchise that is clearly console-focused?
Will the new campaign settings of England, France and Germany be enough to hook us?

Something to ponder anyway.

No, not a departure from our normal hatred of all forms of campiness in games, this is actual physical camping with tents and everything.
Last year we headed to Ledbury and this year we are aiming at somewhere in Wales.

Hopefully we will see a number of members for the occasion, even if it is unlikely that any of our non-UK members will be able to attend this time.

The weekend is the 8th-10th July. The venue – to be confirmed.
