Call of Duty‘s Prop Hunt, One Year Later

It’s been a little over a year since Prop Hunt arrived in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered as nothing more than a silly, April Fools’ Day weekend event.

COD: WWII Adds Nightmare Leprechauns For St. Patrick’s Day

Call of Duty: WWII’s March 13 update lets you hunt leprechauns, and it is exactly as ridiculous as it sounds.
