The worldwide reveal for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is almost here. And CoD players everywhere get to take part in it.
Shadow Siege, a limited-time event in Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone, is directly connected to MW3’s reveal trailer. Players around the world can drop in on Zaya Observatory in Al Mazrah to take part in Call of Duty history, to help release the MW3 reveal for the world to see.
Here’s everything to know about Shadow Siege and the rewards that can be earned in the limited-time event.

The event begins on Aug. 17 at 12:30pm CT and will likely be available throughout the day, but it’s a limited-time event only, so it won’t be around forever. CoD-heads should make plans to hop online on Aug. 17.
“This is an airborne to ground assault of the Konni-occupied Zaya Observatory,” said Shadow Company’s Commander Phillip Graves, whose PMC will be teaming up with Task Force 141 to take on Konni Group as part of the event.
Once the event is completed, it will unlock the full MW3 reveal for the world to see ahead of the game’s full launch later this year on Nov. 10.
