  1. Call of Duty: Ghosts (also known as Call of Duty 10 or simply Ghosts) is the tenth main Call of Duty game. It was developed by Infinity Ward, Neversoft[1][2] and Raven Software. It was confirmed that a Call of Duty game was in development on February 7th, 2013, Ghosts was officially revealed on May 21st, 2013 via a Reveal Trailer during the Xbox One reveal. It was released on the 5th of November 2013 for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC, and Wii U, and was a launch title on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Set ten years after a devastating mass event, the United States of America is no longer a superpower, with its economy and government in ashes. The remainder of the nation's Special Operations Forces, the Ghosts, fight a newly emerged technologically-superior global power not for freedom, or liberty, but simply to survive. Players are able to peek around cover while still being able to fire (leaning), slide, and customize their character's gender, patch, uniform, and many other features. They are also able to activate environmental hazards, rather than the hazards automatically activating without player interference.
  2. Call of Duty: Black Ops II, is a first-person shooter developed by Treyarch and published by Activision. This is the ninth main installment for the Call of Duty franchise, as well as being the first Call of Duty game available to an 8th generation console (Wii U), and was released on November 13, 2012. It is the direct sequel to Call of Duty: Black Ops and was announced on May 1, 2012, during an NBA playoff game. It is the first game made by Treyarch to be set in the future, and also the first direct sequel produced for the series by the studio. The game is also the first Call of Duty game for Nintendo's Wii U console, and it was available for the Wii U's launch day in North America, Europe, and Australia, whilst it was released on December 20, 2012 in Japan, which was 12 days after the console's Japanese launch day, albeit the console received the Japanese dub version simultaneously with the other platforms on the same day. The link to the Call of Duty: Black Ops II website was also granted access to the public to coincide with the world reveal during the NBA basketball playoffs. After much demand, anticipation, and speculation, Call of Duty: Black Ops II finally became available on Xbox One via backwards compatibility on April 12, 2017.
  3. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is the eighth main Call of Duty game, and the fifth developed by Infinity Ward. It's the sequel to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and is the third and final instalment in the original Modern Warfare series. Activision confirmed the title was in pre-production on April 9, 2010 and was released on November 8, 2011. Sledgehammer Games, originally planning to work on the cancelled action-adventure Call of Duty, worked with Infinity Ward to complete all aspects of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. Raven Software assisted with the user interface and downloadable content, as they had with previous Call of Duty games. Treyarch also assisted with the multiplayer, designing the weapon artworks, and developing the survival mode. Treyarch also developed the Wii version of Modern Warfare 3. Neversoft assisted Infinity Ward with the campaign and worked on the Special Ops Chaos mode. The downloadable content was released once per month over a period of nine months. It was free to users of Call of Duty ELITE if they had the Premium version of the service. Sledgehammer was aiming for a bug-free Call of Duty title and ratings above 95%. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 uses an upgraded IW 4.0 engine, dubbed the "MW3 engine" instead of "IW 5.0" out of courtesy for Sledgehammer Games. When a massive amount of leaked information was revealed by gaming news site Kotaku on May 13, 2011, Robert Bowling responded in a tweet stating: "A lot of hype & a lot of leaked info on #MW3, some still accurate, some not. To avoid spoiling the experience, I'd wait for the real reveal."[6] Later that day, four teaser trailers for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 were released on Call of Duty's official YouTube channel. Each one revealed a different location: New York, London, Paris, and Berlin. The full reveal trailer was released on May 23, 2011. The trailer was leaked almost two hours before the scheduled air time, prompting Activision to officially release the reveal trailer earlier than planned. The reveal featured sequences from combat in all four of the previously confirmed locations. The single player trailer, Redemption, was released on October 7, 2011, revealing bits of the story of the campaign, including the return of Captain Price as he continues his hunt for Makarov. The Launch Trailer was released on the 21st, labelling "the next chapter in the worldwide phenomenon" as "the most anticipated game in history." On June 19, 2018, the Xbox 360 version of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 was made backwards compatible on the Xbox One.

    Call of Duty

    Call of Duty is a first-person shooter video game that takes place during the events of World War II. It was released on October 29, 2003, for the PC, published by Activision and developed by Infinity Ward. It is the first installment in the Call of Duty series, but was not as widely distributed until the release of the game Call of Duty: Classic for the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3, remastered in high definition. The game is based on the Quake III: Team Arena game engine. In September 2004, it was accompanied in by an expansion pack named Call of Duty: United Offensive, which was produced by Activision, and developed by Gray Matter Interactive Studios, with contributions from Pi Studios. Call of Duty is similar in theme and gameplay to Medal of Honor, as it is made out of single-player campaigns and missions. However, unlike Medal of Honor, the war is seen not just from the viewpoint of an American soldier, but also from the viewpoint of British and Soviet soldiers, and is not as reliant on stealth as Medal of Honor. Also, unlike many other war games, Call of Duty introduced more computer-controlled allies who vary in quantity, providing the player with support throughout the games offering a more realistic WWII experience. Call of Duty also featured "shellshock" (not to be confused with the psychological condition of the same name): when there is an explosion near the player, he momentarily experiences simulated tinnitus, appropriate sound "muffling" effects, blurred vision, and the action moves slower. A port of the game known as Call of Duty: Classic was released as a download on the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Marketplace on November 10, 2009. If players wish to buy or have bought the Hardened or Prestige editions of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, it will contain a token they can use to download the game for free (Call of Duty: Classic). This version of the game is an almost exact copy, meaning no sprinting, perks, vibration/force feedback, or online ranks.

    556 ICARUS

    The 556 Icarus is a lightweight squad-support weapon in the M4 Platform. Increased ammo capacity does not significantly impact mobility.

    The belt-fed SAKIN MG38 light machine gun delivers devastating 7.62 rounds at a high fire rate thanks to a short-stroke gas piston.
  17. The Campaign now has 2 difficulty settings. Normal or Legendary. It came in as a brand new thing with Witch Queen DLC and it stands for me and most others as their best story campaign to date, mainly down to this too. Rewards are more plentiful and jump you up level wise quicker after legendary, but clearly harder combatants to defeat. Legendary also makes you feel like a campaign is worthwhile whereas early D2 days the campaign just seemed to be an intro to the rest of the game. Campaigns should always drive story and other things happening in the entire Destiny 2 world. It scales difficulty too if you are solo, or in a fireteam. Alongside the campaign is the F2P stuff, and then the current Seasonal stuff linked to the Season Pass. Usually worth around 7/8/9 quid for 3 months of content. Similar to Battle Passes in all other games (so a tier system of rewards) which give you additional missions, activities, exotic missions and other rewards such as Seasonal Weapons and Armour.
  18. A mate at work once told me that they did a study that showed you usually switch off to new music around the age of 33 and then start just going over your favourite music types and songs instead of listening to whats in the charts. I can definitely feel that although I do listen to new stuff from similar backgrounds as Spotify is good at linking to your favourite tunes. @J4MES OX4D, I shit you not that was bang on in the start of my music journey, loved abit of Spice Girls! 🤣🤣 I used to listen to most stuff in the charts in the 90s and early 2000s which was quite eclectic ranging from Dance, Trance, Pop, R&B, Garage, Emo and some Indie. Pop was my first enjoyment with many Now Thats What I Call Music compilations bought for me. I had a big R&B/Garage time when it hit the charts. Craig David probably being the standout one. Indie had 6-12 month spell with Razorlight, Editors and The Kooks all releasing really good albums. When I was old enough, I loved Trance. Barthezz, Mario Picotto, Paul Van Dyk and other DJs that mixed some great compilations like Ferry Corsten. 80's synth now lives with me alot because before a teenager i'd listen to my mums 80s tracks, which were ace. Lisa Stansfield, Soul 2 Soul, Bryan Adams, etc. I probably search for alot of 80's synth type tracks and find them more entertaining now than anything new these days! One thing I would say is I struggle to listen to new songs that seem to all be Rap songs to an extent. They just don't seem to have a melodic tune to go with them, not like early Rap with Gangsta's Paradise and Set Adrift on Memory Bliss.
  19. Not much of a game progression tip but I know Character looks is key for many of us. Simple one to miss but you can keep equipping your highest gear, but change the look afterwards if its looks horrible and uncoordinated. Equip your gear and then on the overall view of your character, hover over the gear you want to change the Appearance of and click Square. I hate all the glasses and hats, so you can even select to NOT wear any type of hat, glasses, etc which I think is a real big plus. Essentially every piece of new gear you get, the game stores it as a customisable option for you to use whenever you want on other gear. Nice Transmog functionality.
  20. Thought we should have a thread on this as there's so much to the game that sometimes you wish you knew hours before you stumbled upon it! Post below any hints and tips to help make the experience better for all.
    Some lovely goals in there and nice little montage Matt, looking forward to the next one!!
  21. That good everyone?! Amazing! I really miss the chatter on this game. I've installed the update so will start to slowly playthrough the campaign soon. This game is set up now to be played more for fun than grinding your arse off, bored to tears. I think it would give us some great co-op moments still, especially as there is literally nothing out there that can compete with it.
  22. Ah super, would rather try a more simulated game rather than arcade-wise. As long as it doesn't lose you in the detail I'll keep an eye out for this one.
  23. I feel two ways about Remakes. On one hand I want to see new fresh ideas with new titles that blow us away, but equally there are some games that the world would totally work with updated software and better functionality available these days. Command And Conquer would be me go to. That sim game would be unreal if you could make it into some form of a MMO too. @slamminbones - good shout on Tomb Raider, not like the newer games, more so like the original 3. @Luseth - My worry with any Final Fantasy remake is they will change the battle system as seen in FF7 which left me tainted. Nothing beats the ATB system for me in those worlds. @J4MES OX4D - I feel Red Dead is still to early to get a remake, because as you say if its sooner rather than later it will only be a port which is pointless for that series. Agree with Splinter Cell though!! @Jason - I'd love to see Chrono Trigger because i've never had the chance to play it either. From those days i'd actually say a few sport games should be remade, like Super Tennis. I'd love to also see the Multiplayer portions of the games Mass Effect and The Last of Us to be remade as had an awesome following and deserved follow ups. One more to add that probably had some foundation but needed a full re-write - Anthem.
  24. I'm pretty sure it'll release this year, especially with Xbox making a huge deal about it. Right idea to delay to give it a fighting chance at launch too as not many games are due to be out in September, at the start of the colder seasons.
