It appears Call of Duty may finally shed its aging engine. If so, Black Ops 2 will be the last game to use the IW engine, which has its roots in id Tech 3. Based on the resume of an Infinity Ward engineer, Activision's other Call of Duty studio is working on a "new high-end DX11 code base."
Even after all these iterations, licensed Lego games are still a hot item. Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes topped the NPD charts for the month of June, beating out Ghost Recon: Future Soldier. It probably helps that the little brick Caped Crusader appeared on roughly twice as many platforms as most other games in the month. Diablo III had an impressive third place showing, despite being on only one platform.
Surprise! Activision has announced yet another free DLC drop for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, the second gratis add-on for the popular online shooter.
"Terminal," the popular multiplayer map from Modern Warfare 2, is being re-released for free for both Call of Duty Elite subscribers and non-subscribers. The map will be available first on Xbox 360: July 17th for Elite, July 18th for non-Elite.
While Electronic Arts is celebrating the fourth with double XP in Battlefield 3, Activision is taking a different approach. Starting today, all previously released DLC for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Black Ops will be available for half-off. The deal is available on PC, PS3, and Xbox 360, and will be ongoing for a week.
One month after Xbox 360 owners got access to it, "Content Collection #2" is now available for purchase on PlayStation Network and PC. Available for all COD players, the $15 add-on includes five maps: Getaway, Lookout, Sanctuary, Foundation, Oasis, Kill Switch, and Iron Clad. In addition, the add-on offers two spec ops missions: Kill Switch and Iron Clad.
Last month's free ride is over, folks. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is continuing its "season of content" for paying Call of Duty Elite subscribers on Xbox 360 tomorrow. Included in tomorrow's drop is a new Spec-Ops mission called "Arctic Recon" (pictured above). In addition, the update includes three new Face Off maps: Vortex, U-Turn, and Intersection.
Call of Duty: Black Ops II will indeed support dedicated servers on PC, developer Treyarch has confirmed. And not just any old dedicated servers, oh no, ranked dedicated servers. The shooter series has been inconsistent with this feature widely desired by PC gamers, so good to hear it's locked down for the latest.
The word "free" doesn't usually come into mind when thinking about Activision's wildly successful Call of Duty series. However, the publisher is throwing fans a bone with "Face Off," a new free mode for Modern Warfare 3. Originally available on Xbox 360 two weeks ago, Face Off and two maps will be making an appearance on PS3 next month.
While interest in the Call of Duty franchise remains high, many of the developers that worked on the original games have since left Activision. Many former members of Infinity Ward, the studio that worked on the incredibly successful Modern Warfare games, are heading to court over unpaid bonuses for the two games.
Activision has already paid $42 million to former members of Infinity Ward, but there's a lot more at stake. Ultimately, what caused the huge rift between Infinity Ward execs Jason West and Vince Zampella and Activision? The two say that the team's desire to work on a game other than Modern Warfare 3 made an already tense relationship even worse.

Not one of Call of Duty's two million Elite subscribers? While paid members have been getting monthly content drops, there are still many players that want to buy their DLC piecemeal. That's where the "Content Collections" come in.
NovaLogic, the studio behind Delta Force, has filed an injunction and is seeking damages against Activision over the use of a Delta Force logo in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. The complaint alleges that Activision ignored multiple warnings regarding the use of NovaLogic's trademark in the game.

Hey you! Don't own a PS3 and one of the best-selling games of all time? Sony has announced a brand new SKU for retail: the "Limited Edition PS3 Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Bundle." The $299 package includes a 320GB PS3 system and a copy of Modern Warfare 3. Given a 320GB system normally costs $299 by itself, it's like getting the game for free.
Activision's Call of Duty Elite subscription service now has two million paying members, growing by 33% since the end of January. With a $50 price tag, Activision has managed to squeeze out $100 million in additional revenue from Call of Duty players.
With all the hubbub over Call of Duty's "season of content" for Modern Warfare 3, it's nice to see Activision throw non-paying fans a bone with some free DLC. Coming May 15th is the new Face Off mode--created specifically for 1v1 and 2v2 battles. Best of all, two Face Off maps--Aground and Erosion--will be free to all Xbox 360 players, not just Call of Duty Elite members.
The official reveal of the next Call of Duty game was supposed to happen during the NBA playoffs tonight, but someone at Activision pulled the switch a little early to confirm that yes, it is indeed Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 from Treyarch. And yes, it is jumping into the near-future.
