Modern Warfare 3 UK launch to be streamed online

Activision's announced it's to stream tonight's UK launch party of Modern Warfare 3 live online.

The event will be streamed on YouTube here, and will be presented by three people: Xbox Live's Graeme 'AceyBongos' Boyd, TV presenter Rick Edwards and YouTube "super user" DaveyBoyz.

The event will have interviews from celebrities, as well as Sledgehammer and Infinity Ward, performances from Example, pan-European MW3 tournaments for pro and celeb players, COD XP runners-up from the pro competition Infinity, link-ups to the launches in Paris and Berlin and coverage of the midnight opening.

We'll stick up the embed nearer the time it goes live. The mega-shooter goes on sale tonight.
