Publisher Activision, ever the vanguard of courtroom justice, has won their case against those responsible for the heinous act of spoofing Modern Warfare 3. The domain 'ModernWarfare3.com' indefensibly, it turns out, redirected to EA's Battlefield 3 homepage. This affrontage was challenged and slain valiantly.
Activision has announced that the Call of Duty: Black Ops zombie-infested DLC, "Rezurrection", will be released on September 22 for the PC and PlayStation 3, a few weeks after the Xbox 360 version was released.
Call of Duty XP didn't have the attendance that Activision was hoping for as the first Call of Duty convention, however, the publisher is claiming that the live stream had the second highest viewership for any event.
There's nothing to shout about from the changelog of the v1.14 PC patch for Call of Duty: Black Ops, which has arrived ahead of the impending Rezurrection map pack. Some "various" online and zombie exploits have been addressed, and we can now mouse scroll in the recent games menu - it's what the Cold War was fought for.
The Prestige Editions of the Call of Duty games have included some pretty wild content. For Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, the Prestige Edition included night vision goggles, while Black Ops packed in a remote control car outfitted with a spy camera. However, while there will be a Hardened Edition for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, there will be no Prestige Edition. This was revealed in an exchange of tweets between a fan and FourZeroTwo's Robert Bowling.
Activision has announced that the Call of Duty: Elite beta is now available on PlayStation Network to those who applied to test it. According to the press release, "beta access will start to be activated in stages, with limited invitations rolling out effective today."
EA DICE's general manager Karl Magnus Troedsson says they prefer to stick with lower numbers, and he personally doesn't believe in "distributed development". You can "make it work" certainly but there are "a lot of other things that you lose" like studio culture. You get "less traction" with more. DICE wants more IP to work on.
Infinity Ward's Robert Bowling says the studio's biggest competition is "always with ourselves," as there are "still millions" playing past instalments. Fans are "very much lined up" for the next major Call of Duty, which is thanks to Infinity being "extremely accessible" and a 'genuine' relationship with the community.
Infinity Ward creative strategist Robert Bowling, best known for his FourZeroTwo twitter feed, states flatly that Infinity Ward doesn't care if their games are bought by "three or three million" people, and leaves the competition to the publisher executives.
What it says on the tin. The Achievement list for Xbox 360 Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 has leaked, and is loaded with spoilers to rob you of surprise. There's a stupendously high chance the Trophy list is identical. The biggest 'earner' is campaign completion on Veteran or Hardened difficulty.
Infinity Ward's Robert Bowling confirms PC Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 has a server browser where we can "search, browse, filter, rate, and favorite". It "hasn't been decided yet" if dedicate servers will be ranked or unranked. Local region matchmaking has been improved, 'especially for Australian gamers'.
The Nielsen Report has released its "Top 20 Games to Watch" list, which analyzes what games are the most highly anticipated for the holiday season, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 tops the charts.
Epic Games' Cliff Bleszinski says they can "always do better," but the design director hopes Gears of War 3 "brings us closer" to Call of Duty's level of success. He reminds us that this is "only the third game" of the series, and there's been "a couple more Halo's and a few more Call of Duty's" but Epic could reach it one day.
Whilst on the hunt for a Senior Software Engineer, Call of Duty developer Treyarch's website mentions bringing their "hugely successful game to a new console." Not since 2008 has Treyarch worked on anything beside Call of Duty. The post requires adapting "graphics and other major systems" to the new platform.
If you're planning on watching the England vs. Montenegro European Championship qualifier match tonight, keep an eye out for a world exclusive gameplay trailer for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 that Activision will premiere during half time.
Activision Blizzard SVP of Worldwide Studios, Brian Ward, says the console game landscape has shifted and now only the top tier of a genre can succeed. Whereas "four or five years ago" any top 10 in a genre did well on console, now it's "concentrated on the top two" in each. Activision has responded.
Sledgehammer Games general manager Glen Schofield, whose studio is one of a few developers working on Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, is defending the game from accusations that the engine is showing its age, and states that it's "one of the slickest" he'd ever worked with.
Sledgehammer Games' General Manager Glen Schofield made a subtle dig at the recent Battledfield 3 beta when he was rebuking a fan for stating BF3's 8 Million testers, was a "proper stress test", as opposed to Call of Duty Elite's mere 1000.
Glen Schofield of Sledgehammer Games reveals they'll "probably cancel" their third-person Call of Duty project, admitting it was probably 'too niche'. If they had stuck with it, not joining Modern Warfare 3, then they would have likely "switched the time period" but kept the "really cool" gameplay.
