"Plain and simple...World of Warcraft players are not the only gamers suffering from addiction. There are many reasons I have stayed away from WoW. Probably the greatest reason is that I don't want to be involved in game that is so demanding and time consuming. Quite a few of my friends have tried to convince me to join their guild, to help them in their quest for gold, exploring dungeons, and defeating monsters. My simple reply: NO THANKS!

"On his official blog, community manager Robert “402″ Bowling recently revealed that Infinity Ward has been hard at work on an all-new project following its contract renewal with publisher Activision. That’s not all though, as IW is also in the planning stages of development on a unique IP, one that the studio will have “complete control over” according to Bowling himself"

"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. Indeed, Europeans view such games as "evil," says Cevat Yerli, chief executive of Crytek, a German game developer that specializes in first-person shooters."

"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..."

"As had been expected, a new patch for the PC version of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is now available, updating the game to version 1.6. The 283mb download offers new server browser filters, and four new multiplayer maps: Creek, Chinatown, Broadcast, and Killhouse."

"So it was with considerable pride that Activision's wholly owned Infinity Ward studio told me Tuesday that its war game, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, has just sold its 10 millionth copy.

Infinity Ward studio head Vince Zampella didn't know exactly how many units the game had sold on each platform it is available on--the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC--but did say that COD 4 had been most successful on the Xbox.

These days, monster hits like Grand Theft Auto IV and Halo 3 have gotte..."

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.

"CoD 4: Modern Warfare is a new action-thriller that will arm gamers with the most advanced and powerful arsenal of modern day firepower to fight a new war in the world’s most treacherous hotspots. While a v1.6 patch was due for release soon a critical bug discovered during testing, which broke kill cams when playing with mods among other things, put it back in development."

"Activision has rubbished rumours that Infinity Ward has moved to take control of the entire Call of Duty series.

A spokesperson for the publisher told Eurogamer it was a total fabrication, and that Treyarch and Infinity Ward would still alternately create instalments in the shooter series.

Rumours spiralled from an ex-Activision Underground employee who claimed that Infinity Ward had prompted a contract renegotiation in an effort to become the sole developer of Call of Duty games.

Xbox 360 owners have already been enjoying the CoD4 DLC since last week, although Xbox LIVE did experience service issues as a result of the heavy workload.

Infinity Ward does, however, expect the Variet..."

"Their unholy alliance seems to be paying off as everyone’s favourite Plumber and Hedgehog have topped the UK’s all format charts again this week. This game is proving to be a beast that will not be slain, consistently rising and falling in the charts just to climb to the top spot again. Not only is the game number one overall but first on the Wii and second on the DS charts, cementing the fact that I am the only one who finds the premise of a stunted overweight Italian posing anything that ev..."

"Ok, so everyone knows that Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is an awesome game. It continues to sell at a breakneck pace and has established one of the largest online communities since its release in November of 2007. Now that everyone has been playing online hardcore players can agree on one thing, some things in multiplayer can really piss you off.

I won’t even go into the inevitable encounters with online idiots that you are guaranteed to come across. Those would be the racists and the l..."

"So it turns out the Call of Duty 4 Variety Map Pack is coming out this week, after all. Despite the official COD4 Game of the Year website decreeing an April 10 release date for the downloadable content, Infinity Ward's blogger extraordinaire fourzerotwo posted reassurances today that the map pack is "NOT delayed" (his emphasis) and that there's a good chance the maps will be available tomorrow night or early Friday.

The map pack was previously expected to arrive in the first week of April. An Activision representative confirmed the new date with Shacknews, noting that there had been a slight delay for unspecified reasons."

"The Variety Map Pack features four detailed and satisfyingly expansive multiplayer environments which are exclusive to Xbox 360 for 21 days! ‘Creek’ is as lush, green and watery as its name suggests, featuring a cluster of houses set within an idyllic scene.

The new downloadable maps will be available on Xbox LIVE® Marketplace in early April for 800 MS Points. The critics are buzzing about Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare's new additions. See what IGN , GameSpot, TeamXbox and GameSpy have to say about the new Variety Map Pack. While you're there, don't miss the first gameplay footage videos of the new maps."

"Frontlines will bring 3 brand new gametypes to Call of Duty 4 : Modern Warfare, plus a smart spawn protection to avoid the spawn killing that is happening in all COD4 servers around the world."

"As for the PC version, Patch 1.6 will be the one that introduces the new Kill Cams and other features the console feature patches received for you guys. The work is done on that patch and it’s essentially awaiting and going through internal QA here at Infinity Ward and then Activision. The good thing about the PC version is it doesn’t require any certification so as soon as it’s finished internal QA it heads out the door to the players."

"Before closing its deal with Vivendi (which owns Sierra and Blizzard), Kotick said Activision looked at five years of data on U.S. publishers' attempts to break into the MMO market. Most resulted in failure, cancellation or low profit margins. By teaming up with Blizzard, which has proven its online mettle with World of Warcraft, he said Activision can not only pull in WoW's subscriber base to strengthen its balance sheet but also to learn from the company's veterans how to undertake new proj..."

"These issues are slowly being addressed, though, as many publishers are starting to churn out multi-platform releases with an eye for the PlayStation 3. LucasArts recently announced an initiative to make the PS3 their leading platform for development, joining a growing wave of developers seeking to improve multi-platform games heading to Sony's console. With any luck, this movement will result in better performance for all gamers, Xbox 360 and PS3 alike. For now though, just enjoy fragging te..."

"A successor to the biggest-selling game of 2007 has been confirmed for release in fiscal 2009, meaning the title could be out as early as this April.

US games publisher Activision confirmed that a new instalment in the Call of Duty franchise will be released between April 2008 and March 2009, though it refused to be more specific.

The publisher also confirmed the next game will be released on Nintendo Wii and PlayStation 2, as well Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC.

"Given the huge success of the Call of Duty, Guitar Hero and Spider-Man games it's no shock to hear Activision discussing new titles in each franchise.

There's no game specific info right now, but a new Call of Duty title is currently in development for Xbox 360, PS3, PC, Wii and PS2 - presumably Call of Duty 5 developed by Treyarch for a winter 2008 release.

Although outsold by Call of Duty 4, Guitar Hero III generated more money and perhaps as a result of this will see two titles relea..."

"Scheduled to be unleashed upon fans of 2007’s award-winning shooter this coming spring, Activision says that downloadable multiplayer maps spread across “a variety of intense multiplayer locales” are currently in production for both the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions of the game.

"The new content, scheduled for both the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions of the game, "will thrust gamers into a hot zone of added combat across a variety of intense multi player locales."

“We’ve demonstrated our commitment to delivering the best multi player experience in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and that continues with our plans for new..."

"As previously reported, forum posts on the European telecommunication firm's website from irate broadband subscribers outline numerous issues faced when trying to play games like Call of Duty 4 online."

Since its launch in November, the game has sold in excess of 7 million units worldwide.

Will Kassoy, senior vice president, global brand management, Activision: “We’re very excited about this achievement especially given so many competitive titles this year. Consumer and critics agree that Call of ..."

"Are the cracks beginning to appear in Bungie’s well-worn battle armour? Well, according to Xbox Live aficionado Major Nelson, Halo 3 has this week been deposed by Activision’s impressive Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.

Based on weekly unique user figures, Call of Duty 4 has pushed Halo 3 into second on the Top Live Titles chart, with Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock, Gears of War, and Rock Band rounding out the top five."

"The games that in large part made this possible for the company are Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock. According to the NPD Group, Call of Duty 4 and Guitar Hero III were the number one and three best-selling titles across all platforms."

"Yet more top-tier awards look set to be stuffed into the already-bulging BioShock trophy cabinet following news that the ambitious underwater masterpiece has been nominated for a staggering 12 gongs at the 11th annual Interactive Achievement Awards."

While there's definitely fun to be found in games like God of War 2, or Halo 3, or Mass Effect, Calling All Cars! grabs you by the short and curlies and doesn't let go for the from the minute..."

"Did you hear the news? Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare won Game of the Year on PS3 Fanboy. (Uncharted: Drake's Fortune won the reader's vote.) So, what did other major media outlets pick as their PS3 GOTY? We searched the web and found out.
GameDaily chose Call of Duty 4. "The campaign excels where most of its competition fails, delivering a nail-biting experience we couldn't walk away from until the explosive finale."
GameTrailers chose Call of Duty 4. "The authenticity on display here is t..."

"The bringer of all that is Call of Duty 4 news, Fourzerotwo has made a post on the official Xbox forums letting us in on an update/patch that will be coming sometime this month.


New playlists like a Team Deathmatch that doesn’t allow you to be in the same party as another person, so every team you play with is random….. now who requested this as a playlist?. Lots of maps added to Domination and Headquarters mainly, but other playlists as well. “Oldcore” playlist has been removed, as wel..."

"According to court records, Shaw was playing the game “Call for Duty 4” in the XBOX Live gaming system with players around the country when he allegedly stated the threat of “shooting up the school.” The statement reportedly contained a description from Shaw concerning “how he was going to do it.”"

"Before getting into Maxim’s 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 wouldn’t rely on FHM for movie reviews over the likes of Empire or Premiere, you shouldn’t place too much stock in Maxim when it comes to gaming – especially if it’s sitting next to Edge Magazine on the shelf."

"Now, far be it from me to disagree with Time...I have to call shenanigans on a few things here. First: Halo 3, while a great game, is not as good as BioShock. Halo 3 is still plagued by problems seen in previous games where both level design and gameplay are concerned. BioShock, on the other hand, was a superb gaming experience and should have easily been the top of the bunch on the list."

"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..."

"Finally a reason to be thankful in November. Forget the coming cold and use these reason to stay inside the entire month. We all know this year has one of the best holiday line-ups ever, but we didn’t know how good. Here is an entire top 7 list of games just coming out in November. And below, I have all the awesome games that didn’t make it on the list. Obviously game release dates are subject to game publishers dart boards, so all games are what I at least think is coming out in November."

We saw the CoD 4 trailer, yes we all drooled over it. Well, the anticipation is over and PC users (haha, no 360 or PS3! go PC, nyaaaa :P~) get a chance to get their hands on the demo.

The demo can only be officially obtained via Yahoo (unless you can find a torrent). I can only assume that the Yahoo servers are just getting pounded like a wooden cottage under siege from mortar fire as thousands upon thousands of gamers try to download the demo. My download has barfed many times already and...

"the level cap will rise from 11 to 16, opening up more perks, weapons and features for players to test out."

"This is to quote a internal Microsoft source that sent this information to xbox-scene. ‘The current POR is to issue a 24-hour console lockout that will prevent these 23k users from using their consoles to sign in to LIVE."

"Good news for me and the countless other people who went to charlieoscardelta.com only to have the site never load, even after dozens of tries. I had the site ready, and after I hit refresh at 2 PM (I am in Central Time), BAM! I couldn’t connect to the site due to the server being too busy. I tried for about 40 minutes, having it load once, but then after clicking “Enter Now” I arrived at yet another connection error page. I quickly rushed over to the NeoGAF forums to make sure other people w..."

"Activision has confirmed that Australian gamers will also be treated to a beta of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. The beta will take place over Xbox Live and will begin prior to the game's release on November 7."

"Beginning the 27th of August, the beta key s will be handed out. Head on over to CharlieOscarDelta to register and get your shot at one of the keys. The game is due to be released sometime around the end of the year."

"The first level I played was on the ship and it was fast and furious. The controls are what you would expect from CoD 2 (easy to pick up), and this allows you to enjoy the game right away. I got a sick thrill from shooting the enemy while they slept and the action only intensified from there."

On Monday, August 27th at 12pm Pacific Daylight Time, tokens to download the Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare Xbox 360 Multiplayer Beta will be distributed on a first come, first serve basis. While Charlie Oscar Delta's tokens are linked to United States Xbox Live accounts only, we will be rolling the COD4:MW MP BETA out to additional select countries in early September. W..."

"Well the time has finally come. Today at 5pm EST the COD4 beta sign up details will be announced on CharlieOscarDelta. If you haven’t taken the time to regester you might want to head on over there and do so because, in order to apply for the beta you have to be registered to the site."

"According to the dev, "Same level of AA between 360/PS3, both @ 60fps. Hate on the PS3 all you want guys, but we've done did it up right for the Sony lovers. Nothing has been 360 footage yet touted as PS3, you crack-heads! I'm not sure whats up with what you guys might have seen at E3, but we do have AA on the PS3.""

"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)."

"How much space will the Public Beta take on my hard-drive?

Approximately 1.7 gigabytes. Xbox Live will notify you if you don’t have the space required. Try and make sure you have at least 2 gigs free before attempting to download the Beta, you don’t want HD to chug at all."

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:

1. Bioshock
2. Army of Two
3. Lair
4. Haze
5. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
6. Assassin's Creed
7. Heavenly Sword

"Earlier this year we longingly gazed ahead into the year of gaming lying ahead of us. There was so much to look forward to. At this point, some of it has been release while some of it has been pushed out of 2007 and into 2008 (hopefully not beyond). With that in mind, and having just visited Santa Monica for this year's E3, we decided to take an updated look at the rest of this year's future because there's oh so much to be excited about.

The following are lists of your IGN PC Editors' mo..."

IGN AU: How close to reality is the game?

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..."

"GameTrailers.com openly bashed Sony in the Most Disappointing category last time out, knocking the Japanese electronics giant for its pseudo-PlayStation 3 price cut, it’s uninspiring PSP redesign, and its lacklustre E3 press conference.

Furthermore, the awards have jabbed fanboys betwixt the ribs too, omitting first-person shooter nominations for Halo 3 and Killzone 2 because neither had playable content at E3 – which subsequently left the Best FPS award going to Call of Duty 4: Modern Wa..."

You have to register with the site to see the choices and voice your opinion, but you can also check out some of the more recent updates on the game play too. The images shown reflect the Xbox 360 version, but the same art will most likely be applied to the PS3 version as well. They’re all pretty similar, just with a soldier positioned at diffe..."

"G4TV has awarded Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare as both Best Xbox 360 game, and the Best Overall game of the show. A special congrats goes out to everyone at Infinity Ward for all of their hard work! When asked for a comment, Grant Collier, president of Infinity Ward, thought deep and hard and added:

"According to Xboygen, Infinity Wards have dated the highly anticipated first person shooter Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare arms gamers with an arsenal of advanced and powerful modern day firepower and transports them to the most treacherous hotspots around the globe to take on a rogue enemy group threatening the world.

The game has been scheduled to appear on October 30 here in the US followed with a November 9 in Europe."

"Today’s second round of E3 Awards coverage may well stoke the fires of fervent fanboy fanaticism. And why?

Oh, because the Best First-Person Shooter category does not include nominations for Halo 3 and Killzone 2, because Sony comes under fire on various fronts in terms of Most Disappointing, and neither Mass Effect nor Assassin’s Creed is given a nomination nod for Best Graphics - while the revamped PC port of Gears of War is."

"Following a presentation at Microsoft's live press conference, Infinity Ward announced that Xbox 360 gamers will get to experience a Call of Duty 4 multiplayer beta before their PC and PlayStation 3 brethren.

Infinity Ward invites all gamers to visit CharlieOscarDelta.com for more details."

"Sit back and enjoy E3 Trailer Park Blowout (Vol. 02), which includes the likes of Fury (PC), NHL 08 (Xbox 360, PS3, PC), Legendary: The Box (Xbox 360, PS3, PC), Dungeon Hero (Xbox 360, PC), Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (Xbox 360, PS3), Need for Speed ProStreet (Xbox 360, PS3), SpaceForce: Rogue Universe (PC), and European Street Racing (PC)."

"“Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is the most intense, visceral title we’ve ever created,” says Jason West, co-studio head and project lead, Infinity Ward. “The single player campaign is a well-paced, non-stop action experience.
