Modern Warfare 3 will be a prequel featuring Ghost, source claims

The latest issue of the mag claims that 'insider whispers' are suggesting that 'Infinity Ward's next Modern Warfare title will be a prequel, with Ghost in the lead role'.

That's all it says, but as you may notice the story is identical to rumours that began emerging last month, that said Modern Warfare 3 would be a prequel with the mysterious Ghost in the lead role. That probably means either the story's true or the Official PlayStation Magazine is just repeating the old news as their own.

The previous rumours were a little more detailed and suggested that you'd be 'revisiting familiar locations from both the Modern Warfare games, but from different perspectives'. The new game is also supposedly using the same game engine from Modern Warfare 2 and Black Ops.

Apart from the setting of the game there's also confusion as to who's making it, considering last year's meltdown at series creators Infinity Ward. The most recent rumour is that Infinity Ward is taking the lead on the game, but that they'll be helped by both new studio Sledgehammer and Wolfenstein developer Raven Software.

It's also possible that new studio Beachhead might be involved, which publisher Activision recently revealed were working on a 'digital platform' for Call Of Duty. What exactly this means is still not clear, but it's thought to be some sort of subscription-based multiplayer service.

I seem to remember reading this a while back too! Bring back ghost!!

Quarter of UK has had ‘ghostly encounter’

It’s a statistic that will send a shiver down the spine of the nation, especially as paranormal experiences are on the increase.

In the 1950s, the figure was just seven per cent, rising to 14 per cent in the 1990s and 19 per cent in 2003.

Are the undead on the march?

Fear not, because Professor Wiseman, who doesn’t believe in ghosts, thinks that TV is to blame for the large number of wraiths and bumps in the night that are being reported.

Ghosts have never been so popular on television, with shows such as Most Haunted, Ghost Hunters and Famous And Frightened attracting large numbers of fans.

‘It's a surprisingly high figure, and it's interesting that the proportion of people who say they believe in ghosts has remained the same as it has been for many years, which is about a third,’ said Prof Wiseman, from the University of Hertfordshire.

‘My only thought is that, because there have been a lot of ghost shows on TV, people may just be more likely to attribute certain experiences, like hearing creaky floorboards, to ghosts. All these shows are feeding off the perception that these things actually exist and not looking at the psychological perspective.’

Professor Wiseman produced a ‘ghost map’ of Britain alongside his findings, which shows that the largest number of ghostly goings-on - experienced by up to 30 per cent of the population – were reported in Yorkshire and Humberside, the East Midlands and Wales.

London and the South East was the least spooked region, with just a fifth of the population claiming to have had a ghostly experience.

Spiders lead to Mazda recall

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Mazda is recalling about 52,000 Mazda6 sedans in the U.S., because yellow sac spiders like to build their nests in part of the fuel system.

"A certain type of spider may weave a web in the evaporative canister vent line and this may cause a restriction of the line," Mazda said in a letter to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

The evaporative canister vent line runs from a charcoal-filled canister that cleans air coming out of the gas tank. Blockage of the line can prevent air from getting into the gas tank as the gasoline is used, resulting in negative air pressure inside the tank. That can lead to a crack in the gas tank and the possibility of a fire.

There have been 20 reported cases of spider infestation in the Mazda6 -- all have been in cars with 4-cylinder engines, none with V6's. No actual fires are known to have been caused by the spiders, according to Mazda's letter.

Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, repair the fuel system in the cars. A spring will also be installed to prevent spider intrusion, according to the letter.

Letters will be mailed to owners of affected vehicles beginning at the end of this month.

It's unclear why this particular spider -- the yellow sac spider -- seems to prefer the model year 2009 and 2010 Mazda6, company spokesman Jeremy Barnes said. All modern cars have the same type of equipment.

"Maybe they just like cars that go 'Zoom-Zoom'," he said. "We honestly don't know."
