Critics and players have raised questions about its pricing and how it fits into the overall Call of Duty franchise. Indeed, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is a standalone game that does not require ownership or purchase of Modern Warfare 2.

Previous reports revealed that Modern Warfare 3 was originally conceived as an expansion to Modern Warfare 2, but that Activision decided to make it into a full sequel. It initially was supposed to take place in Mexico, but the finished version fully rebooted the story and instead featured the villain Vladimir Makarov.

How to win tic tac toe when you go first. When you're the first one up, there is a simple strategy on how to win tic tac toe: put your 'X' in any corner. This move will pretty much send you to the winner's circle every time, so long as your opponent doesn't put their first 'O' in the center box.

The first player can't guarantee a win, and the second player can't guarantee a win either. This is assuming both players make no mistakes in their moves. Therefore, neither going first nor going second guarantees a win if both players are playing their best. Tic-Tac-Toe is a solved  game.
