Online retailer Amazon has discounted Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and Call of Duty: World at War on the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 to under $15 each.
"Overall, the Call of Duty franchise has made lasting effects on the FPS realm. They have had a massive variety of features created and then copied by other games. Sadly, one of those is dedicated servers. It is a sad day whenever I see a PC game actually advertise dedicated servers on the back of the box."
If you signed on the Xbox 360 version of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare today (as thousands of people do daily), then you were prompted to download a 2 MB title update for the game. It is surprising to see Infinity Ward still supporting a game that is now over three years old.

Yup folks, Treyarch's next installment to their Call Of Duty stockpile is fixed for release this November much like Modern Warfare 2 did last year. Call Of Duty: Black Ops has yet to have been seen, so nothing is actually confirmed as of yet but speculation links it to the Vietnam conflicts.

"Deciding the victor in terms of unique users that have logged-on to play online, Halo 3 remains the most popular Xbox LIVE title of the 2009 calendar year.

"The problem comes when you go back and look at your list of achievements and see that there are some that are worth 30, 50, 100 or 150 points. Those are the ones you want. You probably also make the assumption if you dont look at the list that some tasks would be worth a lot. For example, you would think, that completing 50 horde waves would be worth 100 points or at least 50. Its not easy to do, and you need to have four or five players that work together and stick through all the waves. ..."
"Of course, we cant say otherwise about Activision or Nintendo, even though the companies could be a bit upset they did not manage to break some records with their titles. But maybe next year

Some people predicted it, others wished it but either way it has happened. The boy who apparently ran away after being banned off his console for playing too much Call of Duty 4 has been found dead on the Fifth Line in the Barrie area. There are few details at this point, but police are convinced it is Brandon Crisp, it is mentioned he was found by hunters, but that is merely a rumor at this point.
Remember that article I put up a couple days ago about a kid who ran away from home because his parents banned him from playing Call of Duty 4? Well Microsoft Canada heard about this and are now offering a $25,000 reward for finding the missing boy.
Notice: Please, don't all be assholes about this. Don't post comments like "he deserves it" or crap like that please. Thanks!
Here's one for the papers. Brandon Crisp, pictured, from Canada, is a big fan of Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. After excessively playing it, his parents decided to ground him from the game. There was an argument, he left home, and hasn't been seen since.
It has been confirmed by Activision (or is it ActivisionBlizzard now?) that developers Infinity Ward will be returning to the franchise to help with Call of Duty 6 - they were last seen in Modern Warfare). No new news on any details about the game - but with Infinity Ward back on the team - one can only speculate.
In the past, box art was clean and simple, such as the Atari 2600's. Nowadays, we have these amazing designs for box covers, but what if the games we play today had the same covers of the Atari 2600? the-minusworld has created some, such as Halo 3 and No More Heroes.

After Activision made a whole lot of money off of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare last year, they want even more (can't blame them money=win); so they will have more DLC in Call of Duty: World at War. They said that "The average Call of Duty player has spent nearly five full 24-hour days of their lives online since purchasing the game", which is a lot of time, so they want to reach out to the online players with much more DLC.

"Not content with consistently topping Xbox Live's most played list, Infinity Wards seems to want to snap Live in half this weekend, confirming half price DLC and double XP for Call of Duty 4.

"Across the pond, consumers prefer racing and soccer games to blockbuster action, adventure and first-person shooter games that are the staple of the U.S. diet.

"June 6, 2008 - Welcome to the Weekly Update Corner, a segment that patches you through to demos/updates that you might have missed throughout the week. This segment (posted every Friday) is for the busy IGN reader who always clicks on the last page of a review to read the overall comments. If you're one of the aforementioned readers, you've probably already stopped reading this, so without further ado:
Patches/Updates - A wise man once said, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Well, don't l..."
A new patch for CoD 4: Modern Warfare is now available, which will update the game to version 1.6. The download is 283mb and gives new server browser filters, as well as four new maps for multiplayer. The names of the maps are Creek, Chinatown, Broadcast, and Killhouse.
Infinity Ward Studios told Cnet that CoD4 has sold it's 10 millionth copy. The head of the studio, Vince Zampella, didn't know exactly which consoles sold more, but when you think of games selling over 10 million copies you usually think about the really big games -- like Grand Theft Auto or Halo. CoD 4 is one of "less than 10" games to hit 10 million copies sold since 2000--quite an accomplishment.
Many people felt left out when the Call of Duty 4 downloadable content was released only on the consoles, and the PC society were left with little to nothing. However that wont last long since it appears that the PC gamers will be getting the DLC finally, and not just that, it will be FREE.
It is expected that the latest DLC along with the version 1.6 update will be available from 5th June 2008.
Infinity Ward have pulled back their version 1.6 Patch Release for Call of Duty 4 because they have found some bug's/technical issues during there testing process. They did not say much on what the problems may have been but they did state that one problem was that the kill cam broke when playing with mods, among other things.
In recent reports you may have read that Infinity Ward were possibly going to become the sole Call of Duty developers. Well Activision today have come out and rubbished these reports and said Treyarch are still going to be producing future Call of Duty games alternately whilst Infinity Ward make theres.
Thats right, the Call of Duty 4 Map Packs are finally going to arrive to the Playstation 3 on Thursday, 24th April for both the North American gamers and European gamers.
In addition to this there will be a Double XP Weekend for both gaming sectors lasting from Friday 25th to Sunday 27th and on top of this, The Infinity Ward team will be playing online on the Friday from 11am to 2pm and 5pm to 8pm (PDT) so look out for them.
There's no doubt that Call of Duty 4 would be big. Now we have another set of figures to show us just how big the game is worldwide. Just over one week since its release, the variety map pack has already been downloaded over one million times! Not only that, but in that same time span, over 32 million hours of gameplay was logged on XBOX Live for COD4 alone!
"Call of Duty 4 vs. Halo 3. According to our sister site, Next-Gen, these games aren't just this generation's most popular shooters. They're the two best-selling games of any genre and of any platform. How could we not pit them against each other?"
With the release of the Variety Map Pack coming out soon for the PS3, Infinity Ward's "Fourzerotwo" announced in his website that there will be a "Double XP Weekend" to coincide with the Map Pack, like the Xbox 360. This came with news that the Certification of the Map Pack went "amazingly well" at Sony, though an Official Date is yet to be announced
In celebration of the Xbox 360 launches of both Call of Duty 4: Game of the Year Edition and the Variety Map Pack, Infinity Ward will be holding a "LIVE Fire Weekend" from April 19. Expect fun, prizes and the chance to play with developers and celebrities alike.
Infinity Ward have revealed that they have given the Call of Duty 4 Variety Map Pack DLC for the Playstation 3 to Sony and now it is up to them to certificate them for users in ready for a release. Though a release date has not been said they have claimed for it to appear at the same time as the Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare Game of the Year Edition comes available in stores which should be next week.

Everyone has been confused on whether or not the Call of Duty 4 maps will be coming out this week or not. Rest assured, because Infinity Ward confirms that the maps will be coming out either tomorrow night or April 4th. More than likely they will be avaliable on Friday, but there's a possibility of them being avaliable tomorrow night.

The Call of Duty 4 Variety Map Pack, previously announced to be releasing April 3, has been pushed back to April 10 for unspecified reasons.

After knocking Halo 3 off of its Xbox Live throne in January, Call of Duty 4 has gone on to break even more records, logging nearly 1.3 million online gamers daily on the Xbox 360 alone. Statistics for the PlayStation 3 and PC versions aren't as accurate, but it doesn't take much to imagine how high a combined figure would be.
After a pretty decent week in terms of releases last week, this week's releases aren't really too exciting, although some are still worth a look at.

Well now it's been confirmed that a similar patch for the PS3 and PC versions was being worked on as well. The PS3 patch has been at Sony for certification for about a week or so and the big info on the PC version is contained in the article.
With Activision and Blizzard's announced merge, the possibility of taking some of Activision's franchises into the MMORPG world becomes a possibility. It's been hinted that they're considering taking COD into that realm. Blizzard seem to hope that their existing MMO fanbase would take to the idea, while Activision help them break into the Xbox Live scene on the back of Call of Duty's popularity.
Whilst the title of the article says The cold, hard truth, I honestly can't believe it's the truth, someone's opinion yes, but no the truth; don't get me wrong, it could very well be correct, however I can guarantee that not everyone will see eye to eye with his views, and in some cases his experiance will vary to that of others, thus making his truth nothing more than his version of how he found the games, however that doesn't make this article any less of an interesting read, especially for...

A new update is on the way for Call of Duty 4. This was announced for the 360 version but is all but guaranteed to appear on PS3 as well. This patch implements a number of changes including new maps being added to rotation, new playlists which don't allow parties of clans and a new kill cam which allows you to see just who killed you, how and where they are. See the source article for the full list.
It's a matter of taking things too far in a game. It's a matter of making threats in a game. It's a matter of getting arrested for those comments, that were made, in a game.
If you're thinking that's wrong on the Police's part, then you're wrong. The gamer in question, who was a Frostburg State University student, was allegedly heard making threats on Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, the threats were about "Shooting up the school".
If the past is anything to go by, it's better to be sa...
"Before getting into Maxims top-ten selection, it is worth bearing in mind that its expertise and coverage in the world of gaming is marginal when compared to the print space it reserves for scantily clad female celebrities. Indeed, while you probably wouldnt rely on FHM for movie reviews over the likes of Empire or Premiere, you shouldnt place too much stock in Maxim when it comes to gaming especially if its sitting next to Edge Magazine on the shelf."
"Activision and Vivendi, has revealed that it will be making new games in franchises like Call of Duty and Guitar Hero "on an annual basis".
It's a move that sounds a lot like rival publishing behemoth EA's strategy of pumping out new versions of its core titles every year. EA has been criticised by some gamers for focusing on this model of publishing over high quality new games.
Speaking in a conference call today, Robert Kotick, chairman and CEO of Activision, said: "You can expect vir..."
Infinity Ward's relations manager Robert Bowling has announced that you should no longer face any problems now when playing online anymore. Such problems ranged from receiving an error message to any effect from the new firmware update.
He goes onto state that the problems occurred because of the Call Of Duty 4 Playstation 3 servers just could not keep up with the enlisting of new players online and possibly because of the firmware update that was included to the system recently.
As we continue on towards the holiday season, I'm inclined to believe that this notable games list will continue to grow into gigantic proportions.
Joystiq has Call of Duty 4 as the highlight, but honestly, you can't pin the total spotlight this week on a single game. Besides, one of the greatest games ever came out for the Virtual Console.
Notable games this week:
Alien Soldier (VC)
Bladestorm: The Hundred Years' War (360, PS3)
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (360, PS3, DS, PC)

I had the site ready, and after I hit refresh at 2 PM (I am in Central Time), BAM! I couldnt connect to the site due to the server being too busy.

This article definitely settles any speculation that the PS3 isn't able to hack it when compared to the 360. It just goes to show you that all it takes is a skilled developer like Infinity Ward to make things happen and it makes other developers look like hacks that say they can't get their PS3 version to run at 30fps. Yes, the 360 version will also run at 60fps with full AA.
"Activision has just released a fresh batch of screenshots for the fourth entry in the Call of Duty series, subtitled Modern Warfare - and they look jaw-droppingly gorgeous.
The title's plot is told from the perspectives of a British SAS operative, a Russian Spetsnaz commando, and American Force Recon Marines and Navy SEALs in the Middle East. They follow the evil intentions of Zakhaev, a Russian nationalist intent on re-claiming his homeland as a Soviet state. Obviously the UK and US do no..."
"The CoD4 beta will hit North America sometime this week and will be exclusive to the Microsoft Xbox 360. The Modern Warfare tester features three modes: Free-for-All, Team Deathmatch, and Team Tactical; and three maps: Overgrown (set in rural Russia, perfect for good cover), Vacant (a deserted Russian office building with intense corridor action) and Crash (a downed Sea Knight chopper in a desert down, perfect for team games)."
When the XBOX360's Basic Package was revealed, not many people minded that a Hard-Drive wasn't included, although it was only when the Core package was sold that most people baught the Basic Package. However it seems those that were 'unfortunate' enough to get the basic package and haven't gotten themselves a Hard-Drive may have problems making the most out of the new sequel for CoD - Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.
People that want to play the Beta were warned that they would require quit...
The delay that has made many fans upset and angry, has also been a saviour for some game developers that no longer have GTAIV to compete with for christmas. Which will obviously mean that they will have more reason to release it before then, and will most likely be getting more notice from you than if GTAIV had released.
The games ofcourse are:
- Bioshock
- Army of Two
- Lair
- Haze
- Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
- Assassin's Creed
- Heavenly Sword

"IGN Down Under cranked up an interview with Call of Duty 4 Military Advisor, Lieutenant Colonel Hank Keirsey (US ARMY, retired). Some pretty interesting stuff is included.
IGN AU: How close to reality is the game?
LTC retired Hank Keirsey: Extremely.
IGN AU: Obviously they exaggerate a lot of things to make it a better game experience though?
LTC retired Hank Keirsey: I would say it's much closer to reality than one would think. The sound of the weapons firing, the way the weapon..."
Game awards, just like reviews, are merely subjective opinions offered up by self-proclaimed 'experts'. Ultimately, retail sales figures make or break a game, putting the consumer firmly in place as the only 'real' gaming expert that needs to be listened to. That said, these awards gatherings are always good for inciting fanboy riots - if nothing else.
