Call Of Duty: WWII‘s New Social Space Is Pretty Lonely At The Moment

A big part of the marketing for the new Call of Duty game has surrounded Headquarters, a new social hub where players are supposed to be able to hang out and customize load-outs together in-between multiplayer matches.

War. War Sometimes Changes.

2002’s Medal of Honor and 2017’s Call of Duty: WW2 have very similar intros (a nice touch, given CoD’s lineage).

Both involve the same scenario—a first-person invasion of the beaches of Normandy—and both are…

Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, One Year Later

It’s been rough journey through space for Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare.

A Call of Duty: WWII player says he found a glitched menu in the game’s beta with images that appear to show a modified version of the Uplink game mode, meaning that Sledgehammer could be working to keep its “jetpack basketball” mode alive even when the game is set in the early 1940s. WWII is…

New Call of Duty Mode Let Players Squash Enemies With Their Fingers

I was skeptical this past weekend when I saw ‘Gesture Warfare’ listed in the featured playlist on Infinite Warfare. Killing players with the finger gun? A flick of the wrist?
