The next Call of Duty game will be formally titled Modern Warfare 3, according to a recent spate of DMCA take down notices reported by leakers.
Activision is yet to officially announce its next game in the Call of Duty series, but recent images showing the DMCA strikes refer to «leaked content from unreleased video game Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3».
These DMCA notices appear to have originated from a limited alpha play test, which according to COD News & Leaks on Twitter was codenamed «Hailström».
This year's Call of Duty being called Modern Warfare 3 comes as no surprise. Earlier in the year, a report surfaced which stated 2023's Call of Duty will be a Modern Warfare 2 sequel.
At this time, it was said this release will be a «fully-fledged sequel» to last year's Modern Warfare 2, with development led by Vanguard maker Sledgehammer Games and support provided by Activision's many Call of Duty studios.
Players can reportedly expect all the bells and whistles that come with a typical Call of Duty release, such as the main campaign, multiplayer and zombies («essentially an Outbreak 2.0» that may or may not be free-to-play).

In addition, further leaks suggested scrapped content from Vanguard will be included in Modern Warfare 3 on its release, which is said to be this November. There is also word that remastered versions of the original Modern Warfare 2 maps Terminal and Scrapyard will return to Modern Warfare 3.
We can reportedly expect Activision to share more information next month.
