If you haven’t had a chance to play the latest Call of Duty game, Modern Warfare 3, you can do so this weekend absolutely free on Steam. Of course this is limited only to the multiplayer side of things which means no access to the single player campaign or Spec ops missions (co-operative missions and the game’s Horde mode). At the same time Activision have slashed the price of the game down by 33% which means it’s now available at $39.99 as opposed to $59.99.

Get your COD on this weekend

The download weighs in at around 15 GB so if you do plan on trying the game out, we suggest you get downloading ASAP as the free weekend ends early Monday. Of course you will need Steam to play the game.

Nash, as he prefers being called, woke up to the wonders of gaming rather late but don't bring that up around him. It's a touchy subject. A self confessed Battlefield veteran, Nash spent a good part of 2010 on the Steam Battlefield - with Bad Company (see what we did there?). He has a zero tolerance policy towards RTS games but is currently showing an interest by picking up and moving people - who he refers to as units - in the office. Thank God he's not that enthusiastic about Angry Birds or we'd be seeing women flying all over the place. Bali... Bali, put the receptionist down now.
