Looks like there’s going to be a buttload of things to unlock and work towards with a “fresh” progression system that seems all too familiar. Modern Warfare is right around the corner so as I’m sure you can imagine many players are getting ready to sink into that sweet multiplayer progression system the original Modern Warfare used to fundamentally change …

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is coming toward the end of this month, and everything I’ve heard about the game to date has made me keener on it. There’s the return of a proper, gritty, hard-hitting single player campaign, missing from last year’s multiplayer-centric Black Ops 4. There’s cross-play with all three of the bigger platforms, letting PC, Xbox and …

Activision recently released the official minimum and recommended requirements for the game and while the hardware needed is far from unexpected, it’s the storage required for Modern Warfare that’ll throw a little shock and awe at your face: 175 entire gigabytes of space will be needed.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is out towards the end of this month. Because the game ditches Season Passes and the regular cycle of DLC maps, the game’s co-marketing system, the PlayStation 4, no longer gets 30-day long exclusive access to those new maps and modes.

There’re still two weeks to go before Call of Duty: Modern Warfare’s release on October 25, but that’s never stopped a video game company from releasing a “launch” trailer before.

I like my video game news to be delivered in much the same way that I like my pizza to be dropped off by me: Brief, cut into easily digestible segments and incredibly disappointing when there’s not even the merest mention of a new Batman game which results in me spending the night in a shower crying my heart out. …

Gosh, I know it feels like this happens every year, but there are some meaningful changes coming to Call of Duty this time. The engine’s been given a proper overhaul and there are new modes that add more weight, more gravitas to the multiplayer. Look, I’m not saying that you, as a perhaps lapsed fan of Call of Duty games who got tired of what seemed like rehashes year on year, should rush out and buy the game on my say so, but I am saying that if you have the time, you should at least give the game’s impending second beta wave a shot.

I was never one to be impressed by graphics. Substance over style, that’s always been my motto when it comes to games; I can appreciate the care and attention that goes into crafting a beautifully rendered landscape, but I’ve never gone out of the way to play games solely because they look good. In the same vein, I’m not the …
