It goes without saying that the Call of Duty franchise owes a lot of its massive success to its online multiplayer. Infinity Ward is aiming to make this year's Ghosts even more enjoyable with the implementation of dynamic multiplayer maps. We recently sat down with Activision's CEO, Eric Hirshberg, and asked him whether he thought these new maps were the biggest change fans can expect.
A variety of new updates are available this month across the gaming platforms. Coming today, Retro Classics games are available to play for Xbox Game Pass members. Players who stream on the Xbox app on PC now have an additional streaming option with GeForce Now. Game Bar introduces quick settings, visual updates for Widgets in Compact Mode, and coming soon, Microsoft Edge Game Assist, an in-game browser that brings an immersive game-centric experience to Edge. And Xbox gift cards can now be redeemed for any amount via Xbox Rewards.
While i appreciate the gesture.... all of these retro classics have been made available everywhere else. I am hoping to see some other Activision properties make their way out of the shackles of the 5th, 6th and 7th gen. Licensing be damned... bring back the Transformers Cybertron games.
Love the Cybertron games! TF games have been shit lately. Would love to see that era revisited. I even did the multiplayer!
Metaphor on Gamepass just announced! O.o
Seriously, this is the best generation of Xbox ever!!!
We can´t catch a freaking break from awesome games arriving all the time!!!
It’s a HELL of a game. If you like JRPGs in the family of Persona, you will be in heaven… that is until you hear the various battle music…. then you’ll be somewhere BEYOND heaven!
According to a developer working on the title, Activision is working on a narrative-based open-world game based on a new engine through its new studio.
It was recently revealed in an exclusive episode of the 'Grit' podcast that EA once passed up acquiring Blizzard, Activision, and Call of Duty.
Only a big company that has interest in gaming like Microsoft or Tencent could have acquired Activision. Extremely low interest rates at that time certainly helped.
Not exactly sure that a merger with EA would’ve benefited any of their franchises or gamers. I imagine it would’ve been like the activision blizzard one were each publisher retains their own identity. So Activison-Blizzard-EA. But who knows.
If it was owned by EA, COD could’ve disappeared a looong time ago. They have no clue how to manage franchises.
It's a shame EA didn't buy them then, COD should die, it's past its prime and has been since black ops 2, I started playing it when cod 4 mw first came out and it has been downhill since.
"A new level of control" is a tad exaggerated in my opinion. From what we've seen so far the maps look like they only change a little. I hate to bring up CoD's main competitor but battlefield seems to have MUCH more dynamic maps than Ghosts.
Activision is trying their hardest to convince us that this years COD is worth it. Pre orders for this game are way lower than last year. They are about 2-3 years from running this series into oblivion.
"Dynamic maps"? Is this how they call it today? Few prescripted gas pump crashes and some dirt falling?
Sadly, until gamers in their masses stop buying the series and force the devs to actually upgrade the game, they will continue to make minute changes and offer them up as something new and innovative.
