Call of Duty Classic Coming to XBLA and PSN This Week

Tue, 1 Dec 2009 02:55:00 +0000

The original Call of Duty is set to hit Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network this week. Major Nelson confirmed it will hit XBLA this Wednesday for 1200 Microsoft Points ($15). TVGB reports that Activision has confirmed it for PSN as well, coming on Thursday for $14.99. We weren't sure if the marketing partnership with Microsoft might make it hit XBLA first, but that apparently isn't the case. If you balk at paying the fifteen bucks for an old game, keep in mind that if you picked up the Hardened or Prestige editions of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 , the downloadable title is free. Just check for a download code somewhere among the remains of the box you hastily ripped open after the midnight release.

Mon, 30 Nov 2009 19:07:22 +0000

Modern Warfare 2's $550 million opening helps boost Infinity Ward, Treyarch-developed FPS series' total global sales beyond 55 million units. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 smashed more than just game-industry records upon its launch for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC in November. Generating some $550 million within its first five days on the market , the Infinity Ward-developed first-person shooter sailed past top earners within the film and book industry, giving Activision cause to lay claim to the title of "biggest entertainment launch in history." Modern Warfare 2's sales likely got a boost on Black Friday. Activision has now provided some perspective on just how big Call of Duty has become. Over the holiday weekend, the publisher announced that the Call of Duty franchise has pulled in more than $3 billion at retail worldwide, according to industry-tracking groups NPD, Chart-Track, and GfK, as well as Activision's ...

Modern Warfare 2 DLC Planned for Spring

Fri, 27 Nov 2009 01:03:40 +0000

There's no denying that Modern Warfare 2 is currently the most played online title to date, and it's only a matter of time before gamers demand new content. The sheer install base attached to the game and profit potential is reason enough for Infinity Ward to crank out downloadable content as soon as possible. According to Robert Bowling, the game's "DLC is planned for the wonderfully vauge timeframe of Spring." So, it looks like we'll need to remain content with the game's current offerings through the winter. Between spec-ops and competitive multiplayer there's plenty to occupy the Call of Duty fanbase until spring.

Analyst Says CoD DLC Could Generate Up to $140M in 2010

Wed, 25 Nov 2009 20:13:00 +0000

We all know the Call of Duty franchise is popular, but just how popular? So popular that its DLC alone could rake in more money than many other games make in their entire retail shelf life. According to Broadpoint AmTech analyst Ben Schachter, downloadable content for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 could generate up to $140 million for Activision in 2010 ( via IndustryGamers). "As with the last two CoD titles, the game itself should maintain its $60 launch price until the next iteration (due in large part to the value of its online gameplay)," Schachter said. "But Activision will also benefit significantly from the high-margin DLC potential enabled by the packaged product's success. We estimate that Activision will generate at least $100mil-$140mil in gross revenue from Call of Duty DLC in 2010." And it may not just be the usual run of additional map packs (which we already know are coming) that'll help fill Activision's ...

McKidd Talks Call of Duty Movie

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 20:47:41 +0000

According to a story in the New York Post, Kevin McKidd, voice actor for Captain "Soap" MacTavish in Modern Warfare 2, has said that the video game franchise may be on its way to the big screen: "They were looking for a rough, Scottish actor in Hollywood they probably couldn't get Gerard Butler, so they got the No. 2 Gerard Butler, me. I had no idea it would be so huge, and now there are talks of a feature film," he told PopWrap. Asked if he'd reprise his role in the film, McKidd said "if the script is good, and Gerard isn't available [laughs], then absolutely." Hmm, are we at a point where we can begin to have hope for something like this? Prince of Persia looks like it may be good, but that remains to be seen.

Soap Voice Actor Hints at Call of Duty Movie

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 17:22:00 +0000

A movie based on Call of Duty may be in the works, according to a story from the New York Post. Scottish actor Kevin McKidd, who voices Soap MacTavish, talked about his part in the game and some upcoming projects. "They were looking for a rough, Scottish actor in Hollywood, they probably couldn't get Gerard Butler, so they got the No. 2 Gerard Butler, me," he said. "I had no idea [Modern Warfare] would be so huge, and now there are talks of a feature film." Asked if he would like to play Soap himself, he joked, "if the script is good, and Gerard isn't available, then absolutely." A Call of Duty movie seems like a no-brainer, seeing as the franchise is one of the most popular and recognized in the world. A movie would probably have to be based on the Modern Warfare series, and mention of Soap means it could include some familiar characters. This is the second voice actor leak in only one week, after the VA for Ghost ...

They say there's no business like show business, but I disagree.

In other words: People are talking about a Call of Duty movie. Great.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Reflex Review

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 03:14:00 +0000

First-person shooters on Wii are easy to ignore, especially (and ironically) when they're Call of Duty games. Sure, World at War was a well-done port, but the World War II-themed COD games always had spin-offs or ports on the "lesser" systems, so it wasn't a big deal in the long run. Modern Warfare was different, since it was only meant for the "big boy" consoles, with no other versions in sight. And besides, it was about modern warfare , not older conflicts that could be artistically interpreted however many ways. But now, riding in the wake of the Modern Warfare 2 launch, comes Call of Duty: Modern Warfare: Reflex Edition , the first "non-HD" version of the original Modern Warfare. Basically, you can take everything from our 2007 review of the original version and apply it to Reflex, and that's pretty dang respectable. The woefully uncredited team at Treyarch deserves some props for faithfully -- not necessarily ...

Activision Now Has Three Studios Working On Call of Duty Franchise

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 00:37:00 +0000

For the past few years, Treyarch and Infinity Ward have developed alternate iterations in Activision's Call of Duty franchise. But as the Los Angeles Times reports, Activision has now tapped a third studio to work on “future versions” of the series. The new studio has not been identified yet, and it isn’t known what the future holds for the series in terms of expanding beyond its first-person shooter roots, but a source close to Activision told the LA Times that a Call of Duty MMO was still a possibility. Rumors of this drastic shift for the series date back to last year, so this latest news isn’t terribly surprising. As for uncovering the mystery studio behind these future Call of Duty games, in due time I guess. Of course, Activision did just unveil its new Sledgehammer Games studio , which was supposedly tasked to work on a new game based on an existing Activision property, so that’s interesting.

Activision May Be Bringing In Third Call Of Duty Team

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 23:27:00 +0000

Having just cashed in on Modern Warfare 2 , it's fair to say that Activision wouldn't mind seeing even more Call of Duty. So it should come as no surprise that Activision has reportedly handed development duties for the series to a third team. The LA Times is reporting that the publisher has "aggressive expansion plans" for the series. As a result, it seems that they've brought a third team into the fold, along with Treyarch and Infinity Ward. Treyarch and Infinity Ward have been releasing games on alternating years since 2006, when Call of Duty 3 was released. With Modern Warfare 2 now on the market, Treyarch is now reportedly working on the next game in the series, which is rumored to be set in an era other than World War II.

Xbox Live Arcade Adds Gyromancer and Diner Dash on Wednesday

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 22:58:00 +0000

Two new games are set for release this Wednesday on the Xbox Live Arcade, continuing the trend of releasing more than a single XBLA game each week. (Remember the days when we only got one, if that?) First up is a game that's more likely to appeal to the casual crowd more than the folks who camped out for Call of Duty last week: Diner Dash , the popular time management sim that originally showed up on PCs back in 2003. The XBLA incarnation of the game features a new look, cooperative and competitive online multiplayer, and leaderboards. Two different control styles will be available, with one being the more traditional point-and-click interface, and the other allowing you to directly control the main character, Flo. Diner Dash will cost 800 Microsoft Points ($10). The other new title this week is the much-anticipated collaboration from Square Enix and PopCap, Gyromancer .
