Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare Gets Sabotage DLC

Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare has gotten its Sabotage expansion, with the DLC bringing a host of new features, including four new, epic multiplayer maps, including the return of one of Call of Duty’s most famed maps from Modern Warfare 2, Afghan, re-imagined for a new generation. The four new multiplayer maps include: Renaissance – Set in Northern Italy, Renaissance pits players against each other on the narrow streets of Venice surrounded by classic architecture and buildings. The map promotes continuous action through the canals and neighbourhoods of this iconic city. Noir – A dark, grimy city map inspired by futuristic Brooklyn at night, Noir is a classic three-lane map set against a backdrop of a dystopian future. Noir is filled with cafes and parks surrounding a brutal downtown warzone. Neon – A virtual training centre designed for urban warfare, Neon is a unique, digitised battle arena where cars and other structures spawn out of thin air and enemies dissolve into hundreds of pixels when defeated. Middle-lane sightlines cater to

Infinite Warfare Sees The Return Of Vehicular Combat

Back in the early days of Call of Duty, when the franchise was still set during World War II, the player was often able to jump into vehicles at certain sections of the campaign and freely wreak havoc on enemies with powerful weapons. It now looks as though this type of gameplay may be returning to the series, as new information suggests that at least one level of Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare will allow players to pilot a jackal craft. This is a new development for the franchise in recent times. While some of the modern instalments have included vehicle sections, these have always been linear sections with the vehicle on-rails taking a set route through the action. The Infinite Warfare missions would mark a departure by giving players the ability to actually move the vehicle wherever they want. This may indicate that Activision and the developers behind the series are trying to directly combat the latest Battlefield entry. Vehicular combat has always been an integral part of the

November traditionally sees plenty of big releases as publishers look to get their products out in time for Christmas. This year is no different, making it most exciting month of the year so far for gamers. Big Releases Call of Duty: Black Ops III, the latest game in the hugely popular Call of Duty series, will release on November 6 on PC, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One, though the version on previous generation consoles only includes multiplayer. A sequel to the 2012 title Black Ops II, it will continue the story 40 years after the events of its predecessor and also includes a number of Zombie storylines. Another series that is making a return in November is Rainbow Six with the release of Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege. It is the first game in the franchise since Rainbow Six Vegas 2 in 2008, after Rainbow 6 Patriots was cancelled by Ubisoft in 2014. The new title will keep the focus on co-operative teamwork and tactics while

Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 Has Realistic Mode That Kills You In One Shot

Even if you haven’t been gaming all that long you will probably have friends or have heard someone online say that games are much easier than they used to be in the good old days. According to these people, back then every title was challenging and didn’t hold your hand throughout the story mode. Instead, you were left to make your own way and die painfully hundreds of times. It looks like someone at developer Treyarch believes this too because they have introduced a brand new difficulty mode into Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 that will be devilishly hard, as the player will die if they are hit with just one bullet. This new mode, called Realistic difficulty, will meant that “you have one point of life, so if you’re shot once, you’re dead,” director Jason Blundell said to Xbox Achievements, adding that you’ll have to survive as a group. “You end up respecting the level in a completely different way, and once gunfire opens up, everyone just drops to

New Black Ops 2 Info and Trailer

After yesterday’s major reveal, a ton of new info regarding Black Ops 2 has hit the internet overnight. What we know is that the game takes place not only during the cold war of a near future 2025, but also in decades past during our last cold war. In this decade spanning story we’ll learn the motivations of the game’s new villain. An important innovation to the series also comes in the form ‘Strike Force’ missions. These missions can be played at various points in the campaign and you’ll be forced to pick from a number of them at each story intersection. Strike Force missions can be played from an overhead tactical perspective or on the ground, even allowing you to take direct command of drones and to switch between different members of your squad. The choices you make in these missions (and you can permanently fail them) will have major impacts on the story and even result in the deaths of key characters. While very few multiplayer details have been shared at

Teaser Video Hints at a Call of Duty Set in the Future?

Popping up today on Callofduty.com is a little video by relatively famous Youtube personality FPSRussia. In it we see him showing off the quadrotor, a futuristic drone controlled via tablet that can pretty much ruin anyone’s day and then self-destruct in your enemies face for a bit of added insult. This seems to be hinting that the next Call of Duty could very well take place in the future, rather than the current cold war and modern settings that the series has lately become known for. An official reveal is already confirmed to be taking place on May 1st so we’ll all have to sit tight until then. httpv://youtu.be/SNPJMk2fgJU

Call of Duty Popularity Winding Down?

After years of pushing both Infinity Ward and Treyarch to pump out yearly Call of Duty sequels, has the series finally began to lose some of its juggernaut momentum? Apparently so according to a recent Gamasutra article. Despite having a stronger initial debut than previous entry Black Ops, Modern Warfare 3’s sales are currently falling behind by about 4.2% those of Treyarch’s title. Which is, of course, fantastic. At this point the best thing for this series would be for its sales to drop far enough that Activision actually takes the time to allow both Infinity Ward and Treyarch to foster some true creativity and perhaps a more interesting setting than burning major cities and generic cold war installation #4. Maybe they can even stop using Quake III’s engine and do something new visually as well. Either way, they need to do something different in the near future if they don’t want CoD to turn into a Guitar Hero style debacle. [Source]
