Black Ops III‘s Zombie Mode Set In The 1940s, Film Noir Style

Call of Duty’s popular zombies mode returns in Black Ops III, and it’s surprisingly ambitious.

The PlayStation-Activision deal for the next Call of Duty will grant PlayStation owners 30 days of exclusivity to DLC before it comes to other platforms, Sony’s Adam Boyes told us at E3. That’s across the board, including PC, so basically this is the old Xbox CoD deal with Sony swapped in.

Call of Duty DLC Now Coming To PlayStation First, Xbox Waits

Call of Duty: Black Ops III wasn’t at Microsoft’s press conference, where the series has debuted for years. How come? It was at Sony’s event, and Microsoft’s DLC deal appears to have swapped hands.

Call Of Duty Can’t Cut The Last-Gen Cord

Unlike other big series like Assassin’s Creed and Fallout, Call of Duty can’t bring itself to go 100% next-gen just yet, Activision announcingtoday that this year’s Black Ops 3 will be available not just on PS4, XB1 and PC, but PS3 and Xbox 360 as well.

Modern Warfare 2 Deserves More Credit

Call of Duty is not supposed to be good, so the idea goes, especially not Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. The sixth Call of Duty has been described as a jingoistic mess, a Michael Bay-esque cacophony of nonsensical story bits, a mere shooter that couldn’t—shouldn’t—try to be anything more. “It’s Call of Duty” has…

There’s Playable Bruce Campbell In Next Week’s Call Of Duty DLC

Halo vs Call Of Duty Battle Escalates Quickly

This is great. This video—which introduces just about every explosion, tribute and gag you could think of between the two blockbuster series—was made by the same team behindthat impressive NERF gunfight from last year.

What Worked About Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare

For some reason, late last night I started replaying Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare’s single-player campaign. You know what? That really was a damn good Call of Duty game. Of course, Mike Fahey said as much when it came out. But I’d recently watched Noah Caldwell-Gervais’ fine two-hour retrospective on the Call of Duty series,…

Black Ops 3 Teaser Is Surprisingly Cool

You might not be playing Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 anymore, but plenty of people still are, and they’ve noticed something really weird. Poster art has been subtly changed, and it appears to be linked to a reveal for the next Call of Duty. We try to avoid falling into the marketing machine at…

Competitive Call Of Duty‘s Biggest Star Steps Down

“I felt like I was playing to not lose…I wasn’t really playing to win.” Following a seventh-place finish in last weekend’s Call of Duty Championship, Matthew “NaDeSHoT” Haag has stepped down as captain of OpTic Gaming and away from competitive play. “I’m kinda tired of being the scapegoat for the team,” said Haag in a…

Let’s Kill More Call Of Duty Exo Zombies [All Are Dead]

Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare’s Ascendance DLC hits Xboxes today, bringing with it another round of the Malkovich-powered Exo Zombies co-op survival mode. Or maybe it’s Paxton-powered. It’s hard to say. Either way, let’s play. When last we left our intrepid heroes, they were being overwhelmed by high tech zombies at the headquarters of the…

Trials Map Somehow Becomes Call of Duty: Zombies

Trials Fusion is a side-on motorbike game. It is not a first-person shooter. In fact it’s about sa far from a first-person shooter as you’re going to get. So it’s magic that you can take the game’s map editor and build a replica of Call of Duty: Zombies with it. It took Pneumatic Bog three…

Bill Paxton Is Just The Best 

After playing through several hours of Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare’s Exo Zombies game mode, I’ve come to the following conclusion: Bill Paxton is pretty awesome. It all comes down to three little words. Okay, so he changed things up a bit. The essence of the quote remains. Game over indeed, Bill Paxton. Update: Now…
