"The video game industry is definitely booming, with new games flourishing, especially applications, casual mobile games, and arcade-style gaming. But what happened to the hardcore console or PC video games—the ones we could sit down and play for hours? they are still around, and hopefully will be for some time to come, but from where I’m sitting the future isn’t so bright and for that reason I decided to look at some of the possible reasons. It would be a cop-out for me to say that the econom..."
"Below, I have written down what in my opinion are five of the worst ways in which video game consumers let companies screw them over more and more all the time."
"As with the first DLC pack, it will be available for 1200 Microsoft Points, or $14.99. Activision still hasn't given release details for the PC and PlayStation 3 versions of the pack, and simply promises that it will be rolled out "at a later date." Generally, PlayStation 3 players have had to wait a month for their content, so we may see this content pack hitting in June."
"Well the game took off much more then the makers had ever thought. Zombies has become more and more popular for many reasons the main one being it was from day one designed to be for fun and only fun. The zombies mode that Treyarch created has been featured on 2 video games Black ops 1 and Call of Duty World at War. There has been 4 mini game zombie maps on each game it was featured in for a total of 8 zombie maps."

Infinity Ward has released a new trailer for its "Content Collection 1" DLC, which comes to Xbox Live March 20th. The DLC bundle includes the content previously exclusive to Call of Duty Elite subscribers. More details and the full trailer in the article on Game Freaks 365.
"It is thought to be a bug created by Micrsoft Xbox not the map pack or dlc it self. Microsoft xbox support is on top of it trying to fix it and replace the bad update with a new update. all that downloaded the bad update would have to update again in order to fix what the bug removed from the achievements."
Today new maps have been released for call of duty modern warfare 3. Like the last releases they are only for xbox 360 cod elite gamers. the new release has 3 total new maps 2 spec ops maps that are really awesome.

"Activision today announced that Modern Warfare 3 Content Collection #1 will be coming to Xbox LIVE on the 20th of March, and will be the first of four content releases for Modern Warfare 3."
"know that the title of this article will probably incite some sort of negative response from a lot of people but I refuse to take it back.
Black Ops was a resounding success for Activision no matter how you look at the sales, but a lot of the Modern Warfare 2 fans were not so sure about it.
When Modern Warfare 3 came out the multiplayer offering was widely accepted as nothing short of amazing. Well I’m here to discuss why Black Ops actually had a better multiplayer component."
"Within this version, Non-infected gamers acquire whichever gun shows up without any kill streaks, but pre-outfitted using the SOH, Scavenger, Quickdraw, and Steady Goal. To provide the Infected with some assistance they are now outfitted with dead silence, causing them to be tougher to detect and take absolutely no falling damage."
"What will happen if you do Unlimited Prestige Token Glitch?
They will ban you with imminent bans. Prestige Token exploiters banned, stat reset & removed from leaderboards. All token glitch cheaters will get 2 day ban instantly there stats reset and removed from the leaderboards. There is also a chance of getting the banhammer for a life time 13years."

Here are this week's deals on Xbox 360 stuff from around the internet including over half off on a MW3-themed Wireless with Bluetooth mic and some extremely good prices on used games.
Activision has released details on the third Content Drop in Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3's Content Season. Call of Duty Elite Drop 3: Overwatch takes place in a construction site in New York City.
"The game ends when either all players have been turned into infected or the game timer ends. A Survivor's goal is to stay alive until the game ends, however, if you're turned Infected, your goal is to turn all other survivors into infected by killing them.
You will receive 100 points per kill (whether you're a survivor or infected)
Survivors receive an additional 100 points each time an infected kills another survivor."
"Those with a paid subscription to Call of Duty: Elite can grab two new maps--Piazza and Liberation--on February 28. This is the same content that was made available to Xbox 360 gamers last month.
Activision did not mention when the maps will be made available to all PS3 Modern Warfare 3 players. However, the publisher said the first "content collection" will arrive sometime after its Xbox 360 debut in March."
Collector's Editions have become the norm this gaming generation. Everything from RPGS to FPS games, everything has a CE these days. The question is do gamers really want collector's editions? If they truly do then what needs to be in the CE to make it sell and worth the $80-$100 gamers are forced to shell out.
"set on the coast of Italy. Described as a “very vertical, chaiotic, route map” and designed for those who love to run around and gun people down at close quarters. A great map for tactical gameplay types in which you have to be fast and ready for anything. Being a very vertical map makes a change from what you usually see which is generally pretty flat so it’ll make for some interesting and new combat experiences."
Each console and platform sets the standards and rules for how the game operates. some times small bug or issues in the game can allow gamers to exploit it to profit off it. In this case gamers have found a way to create lag and a way to get free kills off it.
"If you are dead set on buying in with a long-term commitment, the Hardened Edition, with a 1-year Elite membership and other extras right out of the box, is the way to go — and you will get your money’s worth. But like a sports franchise, your best bet is to rent the game or borrow a copy from a friend, play through the campaign and kill some time in multiplayer, then return it and wait to do the exact same thing all over again in a few months. At this point, until the series takes grander le..."
"At the two ends of the map are sandbag-mounted chaingun turrets which, when used properly, can wreak havoc on enemy forces. Like the one in the Bakaara map, it’s suicide to spend much time firing, since it makes you an easy target for distant snipers. The two miniguns on Liberation are great for crowd control, however. Just be sure to note: they’re not usable in Survival mode, only multiplayer."
Activision has released the first two drops for Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 in their Season Of Content for Call of Duty Elite premium members. Call of Duty Elite Drop 1 is the Liberation Map and Drop 2 is the Piazza Map.

"Kim Schmitz, also known as Kim Dotcom, recently arrested founder of recently indicted website MegaUpload, was apparently one heck of a Call of Duty player. Modern Warfare 3, is a fiercely competitive multiplayer game and Schmitz managed to rise to the top rank on the leaderboards for free for all on Xbox in it before his arrest. He posted a time-lapse video to celebrate and document that occasion, capturing his accumulation of 150,000 kills."

Gaming has hit a bit of a slump in terms of design and innovation. Endless sequels plague the release calendar, and will kill the industry. This isn't the first time that something like this has happened, but I welcome the fallout and eventual recovery that will come.
After rumors and sketchy information, Activision has finally provided details for the Nine-Months of Post-Release Content for Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.
"I went to the January sales last week. Aside from the soul-crushing, miserable experience of thousands of people desperately shoving their way through department stores and clothing outlets that characterizes shopping for a bargain at this time of year, I found myself struck by an interesting thought. What if the prices of video games were structured differently? What if, instead of the standard £40/$60 price tag that most games get at release (and the slightly lower one that HD collections h..."

Other articles will cover other pieces of equipment as well."

"The dedicated journalistic team at Fox News were quick to see the dangers posed by Epic Games’ Bulletstorm. A full two weeks before the game even launched, Fox News had the prescience to declare that Bulletsorm would be responsible for a wave of rapes and murders. Fortunately our “Cleaner” teams managed to prevent the mainstream media from learning about the Bulletsorm rape gangs in [REDACTED] and the Gamestop shootings in [REDACTED], yet this game still caused widespread loss of life despi..."

"For many of us the VGAs were a bit underwhelming.
We had new announcements in the form of new ‘post-apocaliptic’ zombie survival type games (sigh), and new footage of some upcoming games that look either very promising (Bioshock Infinite, Hitman Absolution) or incredibly silly (Metal Gear Rising: Revengance, or as I call it: Devil May Rise: Cryvengance).
Then we had the idiocy that made our gaming industry look even more puerile with ‘tea bagging’ those whose speech went a little long and..."
