Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3: Defiance

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3: Defiance is the version of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. It was developed by n-Space, and released on November 8, 2011. It serves as the prequel to Modern Warfare 3.
==Campaign Story==
Defiance takes place in the two or three days leading up to the console version, around the same time as the final missions of MW2.
Defiance opens in Russian-occupied Alaska. A team of National Guard and British special forces are on a mission to claim vital intelligence and defend the oil pipes. With the help of "Watcher", an aircraft providing navigational support, the mission is successful.
The game then moves to Nevada, near the Hoover Dam, where a different team of National Guard are defending civilian extraction. They then move to the mountains and use a Barrett .50 Cal to eliminate enemy sniper and mortar teams. A group of British soldiers then move in via Little Bird insertion to the Hoover Dam. The mission fails, however. The dam is destroyed and the British team is killed.
The final theater of the game is Baltimore, Maryland. In an airport, an AC-130 codenamed "Hunter" provides cover for a British ground team as they hunt down important Russian personnel. The Russians nearly escape, but Hunter destroys the plane they were on.
Nearby, a group of Americans is searching the Baltimore port for a Russian WMD. They discover the location of the weapon, but are too late, as a helicopter whisks it away. The player must then pick up an RPG and destroy the transport chopper. The team is then transferred to New York City, leading into the events of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.
