Call of Duty has become one of the most popular franchises in the history of video games. The series has undergone an almost complete transformation since its early days, as many gamers overlooked the original World War II titles for the then more popular Medal of Honor first person shooters. However, Call of Duty has used several different improvements to not only launch it past Medal of Honor, but essentially all other video games and shooters. However, with the latest announcement of its new PlayStation 4 and Xbox 1 title, set to come out towards the end of 2013, some people are wondering if the…

Fans of the extremely popular Call of Duty video game series have experienced many emotional premises that dominate the game play and drive the story lines. Pride. Revenge. Hope. With the upcoming release from Infinity Ward, there is an overwhelming sense of a different kind of emotion, one that CoD fans haven’t seen in previous titles. Call of Duty: Ghosts is already being depicted as bringing despair to gamers, at least those who are used to America being a superpower. In this game, America will be broken. The government will have failed. The economy will have collapsed. Cities will be overrun…

We don’t cover a lot of games – there are plenty of blogs for that. We definitely don’t cover DLC packs – even the gaming blogs don’t always cover them. The Battlefield 3: End Game DLC pack is different. It’s worth noting. While the Call of Duty series gets the majority of the first-person shooter love amongst standard gamers, Battlefield is considered by “serious” gamers to be much more realistic and challenging. As you’ll see in this launch video premier of a scene from the multiplayer portion of the game during Capture the Flag gameplay, the stunning graphics and intense action are almost too real….

The thinking that video games are just for kids has been long dispelled. Today, men and women of all ages are playing. Even the video game makers are catering their games to adults more than kids, knowing that it’s often easier to get someone to fork over $70 for a game if they’re the ones that are going to end up playing it. There has always been a line drawn for the elderly. You don’t see too many people cashing in their social security checks to grab the latest edition of Call of Duty, but it might just be a matter of exposure. A YouTube channel has been created called GrandpaPlaysGames in which the 84-year…

Just as they did last year with the release of Modern Warfare 3, Call of Duty has released a live-action teaser trailer right before the launch of their widely-anticipated next chapter in the series, Black Ops 2. The celebrity power is stepped up a notch, as is the cleverness with director Guy Ritchie at the helm. Set in Los Angeles in 2025, we get a snippet of everything from horses to drones, iron men and athletes. The theme, “surprise”, gives us a little glimpse of some of the cool weapons this futuristic game is bringing to the table, but really it’s just a way to get people pumped up and pre-ordering….

One of the biggest complaints of the Call of Duty series is that there haven’t been major innovations from one to the next. Playing one or another is simply a change in strategy. For the first time in a while, Black Ops 2 will have a major change in gameplay in the form of a brand new loadout system. The guys over at Gamespot discuss it in detail here: …

There’s certain things we all know about Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 without having to watch a video or read an article: It will be an enhancement on previous games rather than anything that moves beyond the series (if it ain’t broke…) Many people will love it before they ever play it Many people will hate it before they ever play it Millions will buy it and play it It will generate over a billion dollars in revenue – the only question is how quickly The only departure so far from previous releases is the timing surrounding the reveal trailers. They just released the multiplayer reveal that gives about…

Arguably the most anticipated first person shooter of 2011 is Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. Sledgehammer Games and Activision prepare for the launch on November 8th. Today, Call of Duty XP in LA gets started, offering players the first full experience of the game and a tournament to start the buzz and bragging rights. If you’re not one of the 6000 people who forked over $150 for the tickets, you’ll have to settle for this interview with the Sledgehammer Games team about what they put into building the game. …

While we wait in anticipation for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, MarianHak of Ozi has put together some gamer geek folly to tide us over (for at leat 11 minutes, 47 seconds). Built in Minecraft and starring Modern Warfare 2 characters Roach and Soap, this project took “a few months” to make. It was worth the wait. At least it’s not a Black Ops mashup. …

Over 60 major tech and gaming publications announced today that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 would be announced next week. The reports gave details of the exact date and time as well as speculation surrounding the storyline and possible characters involved. The only problem with the reports is that Activision is claiming they were all false. From Activision: “There seems to be a great deal of speculation about the next Call of Duty project. Let me be clear that we are not revealing yet. Anything indicating otherwise is a hoax.” A website was launched at FindMakarov.com with a brief flash of an…
