With just over a month to go, the list of Achievements for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 has found its way to the internet.

There are a few spoilers, so if you’re the kind of person who doesn’t want to know about all that jazz then please look away now.

Detailed by X360A, the 50 Achievements will be familiar viewing to Call of Duty veterans; there are the Achievements for polishing off the campaign on Veteran, some points for grabbing the 46 Intel items, and the odd award for bagging a few enemies in special ways.

As is now Call of Duty tradition, there are no Achievements for playing the game in multiplayer – but there are points for playing the Spec Ops modes.

There is also one secret Achievement worth 20 points. What on Earth could it be?
