For those of you that are waiting patiently for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 only because you have to, and not because patience is your thing, here is a tiny morsel to help tide you over. Xbox360Achievements.org has released a list of the achievements you can earn in the game.
As with the previous Call of Duty games, the achievements are mostly for the single player campaign, with a few exceptions left for the Spec Ops missions. The competitive multiplayer remains achievement free, which is normal for the series.
If you wish to remain spoiler free, avoid the list below, and wait for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 on November 8. You’ve been warned!
