“My father taught me many things…like where to hide the rest of a horse and always look for armed gunman when shopping for fruit. He taught me about respect, and family, and respecting the family, and about the family respecting you - There was a lot of respect.
And a lot of guys getting whacked for not respecting the family or their family not respecting us. Or some guy whacking one of our guys, for whacking one of their guys, because he whacked someone that was connected. There was a lot of whacking too.
The most important thing my father ever taught me was, keep your friends Sarcastic, but keep your enemies online…”

Many of you out there have been asking my why I chose to not play Call of Duty or Halo during the Extra Life event. Others continue to send me invites in constant amounts when I sign onto my 360, only to send me a nasty message when I ignore them and sign into Rock Band 2 instead of putting in Call of Duty.
Well trust me, there is a very good reason that I’ve been staying away from First Person Shooters, and after a short romp in the World at War beta last night, my resolution is firm. For the time being, in this holiday season, I am done with competitive online first person shooters. Take the jump to find out just why.
I’ve been laughed at these last couple weeks for two reasons. Reason number one is that I’m not looking forward to Gears of War 2 at all. The second reason I’ve been laughed at is because I think Call of Duty: World at War is looking awesome, and I personally believe it’s going to be more fun than Call of Duty 4.
Whenever you pick your jaw up off the floor, I’ll take a look at the perk list, show you some new video and pictures, so join me after the jump.
We had a blast covering E3 this last July. It being our first really big Press Event , we were like kids in a candy store. While some people were disappointed with E3, we were so stoked to be there. Doc, Dave and I (and a visit from our good buddy Bono Hit My Car) worked our butts off bringing you some awesome coverage, but enjoyed every minute of it. So we wanted to share some of the fun we had with you. We have Pics of us in action and the Activision Party. Here’s a couple of slideshows for you to check out our E3 coverage , just a tad late.
Check them out, if you want to see some awesome pics off Doc playing Wii ,DDR and American Idol:Karaoke after the jump.
Shocking news! Infinity Ward is going to be developing Call of Duty 6!
Ok, so maybe the news is not that shocking at all. We all knew they’d be back after gamers finished devouring their “World at War, hold us over until COD6″ cake. Just like before, Infinity Ward is going to trade places with Treyarch, alternating who is developing the next COD title. Which has left a lot of people thinking that World at War is going to be another COD3. Unfair? Likely?

While we’re currently being told that Call of Duty: World at War will release sometime between about September and December of this year, I will be pleasantly surprised if we see it before next February. The guys at Activision and Treyarch aren’t stupid and they know how much is riding on this for both of them.
What I’m getting at is that while lots of newer titles ARE being pushed out the door with gaping holes in them (see Alone in the Dark, Frontlines: Fuel of War) these guys can’t afford to have that happen here. If the game isn’t perfect on release day, people are going to have cardio infarctions about how its the worst thing to ever happen in the history of video games.
I’m calling it, and want desperately to be wrong, but I think this game will be pushed back if anything goes wrong between now and go time.
It would be better to have Santa’s sleigh a little lighter than crash the franchise and a developer’s reputation into the ground at full speed.
Despite a *ahem* reliable source revealing that Call of Duty 5 was to be subtitled “More Modern Warfare”*, videogaming247 has a scoop on some solid details for the next game in the franchise. As we’d all thought, it’s set in World War 2 again, and in an act of madness by Activision, Treyarch have been parachuted in for development in place of CoD4-miracle-workers, Infinity Ward.
Kotaku actually had something interesting to say yesterday. An ‘inside tipster’ has spilled the beans to them about the setting of Call of Duty 5, and it looks like we are headed to the Pacific.
Ughhhhhhh!
Pun intended, this game is going to BOMB. Not only are we being brought back to the 1940s again, but it’s not being developed by anyone credible. Infinity Ward was not assigned to this project, so here comes Treyarch again, who crapped out Call of Duty 3 and the entire Spiderman franchise.
After visiting their homepage, the only game I could find on the list that was decent, was Tony Hawk 2. I’m not entirely sure why Activision keeps putting so much faith in them. Perhaps Treyarch is being paid to make the rest of Activision’s IP look better.
