Modern Warfare 3 available for pre-purchase on Steam

With all the shenanigans behind Battlefield 3’s non-appearance on Steam, it’s worth remembering that there is a big-name, modern military shooter available for your enjoyment on Steam later this year. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is available now for pre-purchase on Steam.

At $59.99, there’s no pre-order bonuses or pre-purchase discount but that’s not really going to concern the numerous PC gamers who were considering switching to EA’s shooter come October. Fact of the matter is, Modern Warfare 3 is on Steam, Battlefield 3 isn’t and as strange as it sounds, that is going to be a big factor when gamers decide which shooter they pick at the end of the year.

With the announcement that Modern Warfare 3 will have dedicated servers, I think a lot of PC gamers who were on the fence before about which shooter to buy, will be moving over to Activision’s side. Steam + dedicated servers vs. Origin + co-op — what’s more appealing to you?
