Activision appears to be using a texting phone number to drum up hype for the full MW3 reveal, which is set to happen via an in-game event in Warzone sometime this month. The number, which was hidden in the logo reveal teaser video, requires accepting messaging rates, but then the fun begins. \"Major conflict incoming,\" the number says in response. \"A lot of opportunity. We need someone like you, with experience in Al Mazrah. Are you able to receive sensitive intel?\" Related: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 officially confirmed\u2014and it\u2019s just a few months away When receiving a yes response, the number then texts an image of Al Mazrah with several locations marked\u2014and the Observatory POI looks like an important area. Some players, however, have used this opportunity to have a little fun or voice their frustrations about CoD, leading to some hilarious screenshots on Twitter. As the number is only able to read certain commands, hilarity quickly ensued as several Twitter users posted the fun they were having with the text convo. When asked if they could receive sensitive intel, one wannabe comedian said \"yes, my shorty sleeping,\" to which the number replied \"I do not understand.\" Another CoD fan said \"no\" to the prompt, and the number then sent the information anyway. A third player voiced their concerns to the number, saying they are \"not paying $70 for a patch update\" and asking it to \"make MW3 free.\" I have a feeling that their request may fall on deaf ears, but you can't really fault them for trying. The next few months will be full of information about MW3 leading up to its November release, including things like pre-order bonuses, special editions, and upcoming beta tests.
