Activision’s Call of Duty 5: Military Theatre Confirmed

Friday, May 9th, 2008


Having long been a fan of Call of Duty and the latest COD4 being one of the most played games online for the Sony Playstation 3 and Xbox 360, this game has a massive following. Today the Games publisher Activision has confirmed the next game in the franchise, Call of Duty 5: Military Theatre will be coming to the Xbox 360 and Sony PS3 as with the last one, but COD5 will also hit the PC, Nintendo DS and for the first time ever on the Nintendo Wii and Sony PS2.

The last game nearly doubled the users in 2007 and with COD5 also hitting the Wii and PS2 it will surely increase more. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare really became big for the online play and the way you could move up ranks and get new custom weapons as you did. Then getting the surprise of different prestige ranks after you thought you completed the online ranking improvements. I have personally played COD4 for over 140 hours and can tell you first hand; it’s the best game in its class. Now I wonder what Call of Duty 5 will bring?

Mike Griffith, Activision’s CEO said “We’ll bring the intensity of the recent Call of Duty: Modern Warfare title to a new military theatre”. That does not tell us much, but lets hope they really get their act together and bring us some destructible environments, as that’s what we want. Forget bullet holes in walls and laptops; give us grenades that can blow holes in walls and everything in a room. Lets have COD5 with all the same gameplay, but increased reality.

Sony PS3 Call of Duty 4 1.30 Update, COD4 Map Pack & Double XP Weekend

Thursday, April 24th, 2008


Starting today and all weekend it’s a very special time for Call of Duty 4 gamers, not only did I turn on my Sony PS3 today and get a COD4 game update to version 1.30 (its 12MB) but I also find out that the Call of Duty 4 map pack due early May has been moved forward to today and it’s downloading right now. In the UK this costs £6.99 and you get four maps, which include Killhouse, ChinaTown, Broadcast and Creek.

The fun does not stop there as this weekend we are getting a Double XP Weekend, the last time we had one of these on the Playstation 3 I moved up a whole prestige level. So obviously it will not be just me playing COD4 all weekend to get some nice double point action, lets hope the servers can take all the gaming and not crash as they have before.

The double XP weekend starts 12:01 AM GMT on Friday 25th and you can keep getting double points right up to 11:59 PM PDT on Sunday, April 27. If you’re a COD4 gamer on the PS3 then do not waste anytime, get onto the Playstation Store and go to “Game Add-ons” and you will see the COD4 map pack to download on the right, thank you Activision for the 358MB game pack. My user is Dansway if you ever fancy a game PS3 owners.
