Operation Shadow Siege is an upcoming limited-time event that will unveil MW3 to gamers worldwide. Although it has been disclosed that the event will take place in Warzone 2, other details, such as what the mode will entail, have been kept under wraps for now. That said, Call of Duty hasn't kept its players completely in the dark and has shared bits and pieces of information, giving fans a decent idea of what to expect.

The storyline of MW3 is the direct sequel to that of Modern Warfare 2 (2022). It will build upon the exceptional foundation of MW2 and hopes to deliver a very compelling narrative that will feature one of the most iconic villains of the series, Makarov.

Although not much is known at the moment, the recent teaser trailer showed a glimpse of what to expect. Parts of the iconic Warzone map Verdansk are set to return in the title's campaign, along with a reiterated version of the 'No Russian' mission and more.

You can participate in the Operation Shadow Siege MW3 reveal event as soon as it goes live. The exact details of the event are yet to be revealed. But according to the official Call of Duty blog, teams of four would be dropping into Al Mazrah to rid of the new Konni forces from the Zaya Observatory POI.

You'll be joining the fight alongside Shadow Company to take on the Konni Group, which has chemical weapons at its disposal. The objective is quite simple, as all you have to do is secure these catastrophic weapons. Apart from Modern Warfare 3's reveal, you will be rewarded with various in-game items for participating in the event.

One of the rewards that was previously leaked is the M13C Assault Rifle. The gun was showcased in the Season 5 roadmap for Warzone 2 and Modern Warfare 2, but the exact procedure for unlocking it wasn't discussed. Later, a leak suggested that the weapon would be exclusive to the limited-time event.
