Modern Warfare 3 'Find Makarov' Turns Out To Be A Pretty Good Fake 

No, there is no new Modern Warfare game to be released anytime soon (not at least until November) - but this video might have you fooled.

There is no doubt that Call of Duty Black Ops was a huge success, and the buzz before its launch was intense.

So it is no surprise that gamers are eagerly awaiting the release of Modern Warfare 3 - and any information about it. But be careful. 

This extremely impressive fan-made video was released a couple of weeks ago on a site called Find Makarov, and it created a storm among fans who believed it to be true.

Activision (the game developer) has since officially confirmed this is not its doing - but the hype continues on Facebook and gaming forums.  

Turns out that the video was made by the Toronto-based digital marketing agency We Can Pretend as a PR stunt.

Well played - but no one likes a tease.
