Activision’s biggest franchise is already garnering hype as they return to the Modern Warfare series with the supposed date for their trailer, alpha test and possible release date being leaked!

Well, it’s the time of year again! the Call of Duty hype train arrives with many ready for a big improvement after the failures of the two previous titles, Black Ops Cold War and Vanguard. As many have fallen out of favour with the FPS genre Activision and Infinity Ward are hoping to turn their fortunes around with the sequel to the highly successful Modern Warfare (released in 2019).

On April 28th, Infinity Ward revealed to the world the logo for the upcoming title and had fans wanting more information.

They’re reports suggesting that some snippets and teasers of the game could be revealed as soon as the 2nd June, this has surprised many because fans thought they would expect to wait until Summer Game Fest 2022 which starts the following week (10th June) for all the information. Following the teasers a suspected official reveal trailer will arrive on the 8th June with huge details on the games campaign being revealed at the Summer Game Fest. Great news for fans as we are not that far away from news coming our way.

As we power through the summer of games being revealed and release dates being pushed back, game developers will need you to turn that console on and test their games out for them with public Alpha and Beta tests. The Call of Duty Franchise have always had tests to make sure their game is full functioning before release, rumours are that a possible Alpha test for Modern Warfare 2 could be dropping mid-August. For the last 5 years PlayStation have had a contract with Activision where the platform will get new and exclusive content before the competitors and that will continue up until 2023, so if you are on the PlayStation 5 you could get your hands on Modern Warfare 2 before anyone else. But for Xbox gamers don’t be down because you will also get your hands on the tests possibly weeks after Sony players and with Microsoft’s gigantic acquisition of Activision for $68 million, Call of Duty’s exclusivity contract will probably be on the Xbox platform after 2023.

The reported release date for Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 is October 2022.

No news if Infinity Ward will continue to release their games on the old generation consoles with Xbox One and PS4 players increasingly worried on the silence from Activision’s side of things. Lastly, the big blockbuster game mode Warzone that kept us all enthralled through the last couple of years could be getting a sequel following the games release. The latest rumour is that Warzone 2 could be releasing late 2022 or most likely early 2023.

Another lawsuit has been filed against Activision Blizzard. Just days after it was revealed the Activision board told shareholders to block a public report on sexual misconduct, Activision are being sued again.

The lawsuit, made by New York City officials, targets the CEO Bobby Kotick specifically. As reported by Axios, the complaint alleges that by rushing the Microsoft takeover, Kotick sought to escape liability for misconduct at the company. You can read the full complaint here.

Lawsuit takes issue with Kotick’s involvement in the Microsoft takeover

The lawsuit was filed in Delaware on April 26th but was made public to Axios on May 3rd. The lawsuit was made by the New York City Employees’ Retirement System and pension funds for the city’s teachers, police and firefighters. According to Axios, these groups are shareholders in Activision. They believe that Kotick’s actions have harmed the company and devalued the company’s value.

Furthermore, the lawsuit alleges that the Kotick was aware for years of the misconduct and sexual harassment claims but that he withheld the information from the board. In November 2021, a Wall Street Journal article claimed that Bobby Kotick knew about multiple sexual misconduct claims made at the company. The article claimed that the Activision CEO was emailed in 2018 about a rape allegation but didn’t tell the board. It also stated that Kotick repeatedly blocked the firing of Treyarch co-head Dan Bunting. Dan Bunting, the co-head of the Call of Duty studio, was investigated for several sexual harassment claims by Activision’s HR department. Bunting has since stepped down.

Lawsuit alleges that board wasn’t involved

It was then revealed in February this year that just days after this WSJ article, that Microsoft began acquisition talks with Activision. On November 19th, three days after the article, Phil Spencer – Microsoft Gaming CEO – and Bobby Kotick began talking about an acquisition. It was believed to be an opportunistic move, with Activision’s stock having fallen 11%.

The New York lawsuit takes issue with Kotick’s involvement in the acquisition talks. The officials state that: “Given Kotick’s personal responsibility and liability for Activision’s broken workplace, it should have been clear to the Board that he was unfit to negotiate a sale of the Company. But it wasn’t.”

However, the lawsuit also alleges that Kotick was negotiating with Microsoft without the board’s authorisation. It claims that although Kotick and Microsoft began talking on the 19th, the board did not discuss Microsoft’s interest until a meeting two weeks later on December 1st. During those two weeks, the lawsuit claims, “Kotick blithely informed Microsoft that he would be willing to accept an offer in the range of $90-$105 per share.” The acquisition then went on to be priced at $95 per share, with Microsoft purchasing Activision for $68.7 billion.

The lawsuit goes on to say: “Not only did the Merger offer Kotick and his fellow directors a means to escape liability for their egregious breaches of fiduciary duty, but it also offered Kotick the chance to realize substantial nonratable benefits. As detailed in the Subsequent 220 Demand, these included significant bonuses that Kotick could receive for simply ensuring that Activision complied with the law.” Essentially, the lawsuit claims that by rushing to finalise the takeover, Kotick hoped to escape liability for the misconduct as well as receive bonuses for the takeover.

The latest of many lawsuits

This New York lawsuit is one of a number of cases filed against Activision within the last year. Activision are currently facing the California lawsuit that alleges there is a “frat boy” work-culture at Activision Blizzard that promotes sexual harassment and discrimination. That case was filed in June 2021, before the WSJ article was published. Activision also faced a lawsuit filed by U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in September 2021, although that was settled on the same day for $18 million. According to Axios, Activision have also had 10 other cases filed against them, as well as SEC and Department of Justice investigations.

The switch is a wonderful machine. Unlike both of the other major Console manufacturers, Nintendo has been able to offer a truly unique experience this generation with its handheld/Console hybrid system. It has already hosted some of this generation’s best experiences with titles like Breath of the Wild and Mario odyssey, and is the one Home console that I can actually see myself buying this gen as someone who primarily games on PC.

However, it’s not without its issues. Outside of the infamous joycon drift and nintendo’s subpar online service, the switch just isn’t that powerful. It is, ultimately, a handheld system and while it’s a damn powerful handheld, it is, again, a handheld and as such is subject to the same restrictions the formfactor has always featured, including lower power than dedicated home consoles.

This has made porting modern games, such as Activision’s Hugely successful Call of Duty Series… tough to say the least. Games like Doom Eternal were delayed and came out on switch months after their PC and Console release dates, and many other companies have simply decided not to put their games on switch and to instead port titles from the PS3 and Xbox 360 to the system.

In this vain, claims from a COD insider on twitter have recently suggested that an older Call of Duty title will soon be dropping on switch. This follows reports last month that activision will delay Call of Duty 2023, likely motivated by the technical issues with last years Call of Duty: Vanguard. In an attempt to still maintain a yearly release schedule, it is rumored activision may be looking to remaster some of the series older titles and release them on new Consoles.

Addressing the confusion, MWR is supposedly coming to Nintendo Switch, it’s first introductory into the Call of Duty franchise for the console.

— Ralph (@RalphsValve) March 24, 2022

Twitter user RalphsValve is behind this news, mentioning that Activision is looking at re-releasing Call of Duty 1 and 2, World at war, as well as a backwards compatible integration for COD 4: Modern Warfare remastered on the ninth gen consoles, with Modern Warfare Remastered also getting a port to the nintendo switch

RalphsValve has previously leaked many details surrounding 2023’s “Modern Warfare 2” which have been verified by credible Source Tom Henderson. If modern warfare does make its way to switch, it would be the first COD title on a Nintendo platform since 2013s “call of Duty Ghosts” released on the ill Fated Wii U.

After Microsoft acquired Activision earlier this year, Brad Smith (President of Microsoft) stated the company is interested in bringing Call of Duty to the Switch along with other titles owned by Activision.

Bad news Warzone fans, it seems that you’re going to have wait that bit extra for the new season. This is because Activision intend to get rid of any bugs which may hinder the playing experience. Obviously, this is probably for the best as we’d rather a seamless gaming experience than one ridden with issues. However, it does inevitably come as a bit of a disappointment too.

If these problems were just little things which we could look over, I’m sure they would’ve released the game as planned. Unfortunately, that isn’t the case. Some of the issues are quite complicated, including a crash which takes place when the home button is pressed too many times on the Xbox. Similarly, it looks like the invisible skins have made a comeback, causing chaos throughout the community once more.

As this will take some time to fix, the new launch date will instead now be February 14. It looks like some of us are going to have a difficult time persuading the other half that the latest Warzone update is more important than Valentines Day. Good luck with that one everyone, you’re going to need it.

Activision Apologise To Warzone Fans Amidst Exciting Time For Company

As Activision wait for their exciting takeover by Microsoft to happen, it looks like they’re willing to admit their mistakes in this instance.

“We feel your frustrations and hear you loud and clear. To date, we’ve deployed a number of updates, but more needs to be done,” the post explained.

“We will use this additional development time to deliver updates, including optimizations to gameplay, game balancing (including weapon and equipment balancing), to fix game stability and bugs, and to ensure an overall level of polish to improve the experience for players across Vanguard, Warzone Pacific, Black Ops Cold War, and Modern Warfare.”

It should be noted that the delay could also have something to do with the developers walkout and strike because of harassment issues within the company. Hopefully, the next takeover will provide the much needed change the company needs. Not only this, but it could change the face of gaming in Warzone forever.

The gaming world exploded yesterday afternoon when news broke Microsoft obtained Activision Blizzard Studios for approximately $69.7 billion. Fans of both PlayStation and Xbox have been left wondering what this could mean for the future of their respective consoles.

Thankfully for users of the Sony console, it seems that Activision Blizzard games will still land on PlayStation consoles. However, Microsoft do have some specific exclusivity ideas for Xbox as well. This is all according to a latest Bloomberg report, which was quoted as saying the exclusivity process is likely to happen ‘once the acquisition nears completion’.

Head of Xbox, Phil Spencer, reiterated this message by stating that Microsoft won’t just keeping every piece of Activision Blizzard. He subsequently stressed that he doesn’t want to cause a divide within the gaming community by forcing players to change their console of choice.

“I will just say to players out there who are playing Activision Blizzard games on Sony’s platform: It’s not our intent to pull communities away from that platform and we remained committed to that,” said Spencer in an interview.

Microsoft And Activision- What Does This Mean For The Future?

As previously stated, Microsoft will be acquiring Activision Blizzard, including all of its subsidiary studios and game franchises. Combine this with the recent acquisition of Bethesda too, and it looks like Microsoft are really pushing for top spot in this generation.

Moreover, it looks like the acquisition will add valuable content to the Xbox Game Pass. Spencer previously confirmed that Microsoft will be bringing “as many Activision Blizzard games” as possible, which will also include day-one releases. Obviously, this shouldn’t come as much of a surprise, but it is still a nice addition nevertheless.

This news will certainly damage Sony, specifically because they intend to create their own version of the ‘game pass’ in the future. They’ll certainly need to pick up their game after this news, so keep your eyes peeled on what their response could be.

Will Call Of Duty Become An Xbox Exclusive?

One big question which people are concerned about especially is the future of the Call of Duty franchise. Could making new Call of Duty games day-one releases on the Game Pass provide the boost Microsoft need?

Unfortunately for Xbox fans, that doesn’t look like its going to be the case. In fairness, it looks like this could be the right call if Spencer doesn’t want to “uproot communities”. Therefore, it looks likely Microsoft will be limiting single-player Activision Blizzard games to Xbox while keeping games such as Call of Duty: Warzone available on all platforms. That’s a nice balance, isn’t it?

Overall, it certainly looks to be an exciting time to be an Xbox fan! After news that the console beat out its rival last Christmas, things seem to be going well for Microsoft.

Rejoice Warzone fans! According to latest reports, the mid-season update for Call of Duty Wazrone Season 1 will see immense improvements to the games performance on console platforms. Just the thing we like to hear.

Unfortunately, Warzone has been known to suffer from various performance issues on PlayStation and Xbox consoles since the launch of its Pacific update and new map, Caldera, over a month ago. This has left many players in the Warzone community feeling very hard done by, as they criticised Raven for not caring enough about the issues.

However, it should be noted that the studio’s work was disrupted by the holiday period as well as some strike action. As a result, it’d be a bit too harsh to outwardly criticise the company in my opinion. It’s clear they’ve had some issues to sort out, so its encouraging we’re finally getting the update.

Ahead of its release, Raven said the update will deliver the first in a series of planned fixes for console performance issues.

“We’d like to provide an update regarding Warzone performance on console platforms,” it tweeted.

“With the mid-season patch tomorrow, we will be shipping initial fixes in order to help alleviate a number of different issues encountered on both Xbox and PlayStation. These fixes are the first in a series and will not address all concerns at once,” Raven continued.

“We appreciate your patience as we work on providing everyone with a fun, uninterrupted time in Caldera.”

You all happy with that Warzone fans? As the update has just dropped, we’ve got a list of everything that comes with it! After you check it out, make sure to head on over to our store for all the call of duty fun you can imagine!

In many ways, crossplay is a great thing: it enables us to play with friends who don’t share the same platform as us. It was initially very highly requested and has been backed by Microsoft for years. However, Xbox gamers are now looking for a way to opt-out of crossplay.

This is due to popular shooter games like Halo Infinite and Call of Duty dealing with cheaters in the competitive space. Free-to-play titles suffer greatly, as hackers can just create another account following a ban. While there’s an option to disable crossplay in Call of Duty: Warzone, if you try to load into a playlist on Xbox it will force you to re-enable it. On PlayStation, however, you can dismiss the prompt and continue to the playlist with crossplay still disabled. Warzone players on Xbox have been complaining about this forced crossplay for over a year, through comments, YouTube videos, forum discussions, and more.

Cheaters or no cheaters, though, shooters are easier to play with a mouse. But I, like many gamers, find playing with a controller to be a more fun experience. Plenty of console gamers don’t own a PC fit for gaming, either. There’s no need to force Xbox gamers to compete with those using a mouse when the player pool is plentiful either way. This would provide a better experience since you could choose to game only with people who have equal advantages to you.

I really hope Microsoft get around to fixing this, or they could be losing some of their Xbox player base on those titles.

With the final part of the last season of Attack on Titan generating tons of hype, Activision was quick to get in on the action.

A bundle launching January 10th, including ten items inspired by the hit anime series, Attack on Titan. The highlight of the bundle is a Survey Corps uniform, inspired by the icon himself, Levi Ackerman.

Additionally included will be three weapon blueprints (including the Titan Piercer blade) and a charm, sticker, emblem, finishing move and highlight material.

Other upcoming season updates include a new character (Isabella Rosario Dulnuan Reyes), her preferred submachine gun, and expansions to both gameplay and items in Vanguard’s Zombies mode. The relevant patches for the new Attack on Titan content will appear roughly a week ahead of time at midnight Eastern time on January 12th for Vanguard and January 13th for Warzone.

Though some might find the combination a little strange, given the huge difference in style, if you’re a fan of the anime, it might be nice to have your own series souvenir.

A few weeks ago it came to light that Call of Duty: Vanguard players could expect Ranked Playlists to be implemented into the game’s competitive multiplayer within the coming weeks. Despite no official release date being given yet, a rough time frame of when to expect League Play to be added has surfaced.

What to Expect from Call of Duty: Vanguard’s Ranked Playlists

One thing that has been confirmed is that Vanguard’s ranked game modes will be developed collaboratively by Sledgehammer and Treyarch. This is a good duo as Treyarch made the highly regarded Call of Duty Black Ops 2 and its popular League Play system.

Pretty sure it’s WWIIs system as well. https://t.co/SptTmaEJEU

— Hope (@TheGhostOfHope) January 10, 2022

A Twitter post from @TheGhostOfHope, a trusted leaker, claims that players can expect League Play to be available within ‘’the coming weeks’’. Although this isn’t very specific, it gives a fans an idea of the release window and when to expect it Ranked playlists to be available. Seeing as Season 1 is drawing to its halfway point, it would be reasonable to assume that League Play will be added at the start of Season 2. It could come at any point between now and then, or even after.

While @TheGhostOfHope does not indicate which aspects from Call of Duty: WW2’s ranked mode would be included, people are speculating on what might be included. Exclusive prizes are almost certainly on the way, with Calling Cards being the very least. Skill ratings and divisions, as well as the leaderboards contained in Call of Duty: WW2’s competitive play, are all possibilities. For the time being, fans can only guess, as official information is likely to take some time to emerge.

‘Festive Fervor,’ a Christmas-themed Call of Duty Vanguard and Warzone event, has been revealed by Activision.

Starting on December 17th, there will be “limited-time modes, events, rewards, and features up to the New Year, and plenty of discounts on classic bundles and new holiday-themed offerings.”

Krampus, as well as murderous elves, are heading to Vanguard and Warzone, as previously revealed. In Vanguard, Krampus will attack the player with the lowest objective score in a multiplayer match, but it’s up to you to track down Elf Team Six – if you can find them all, you’ll receive a special present.

Players will be tasked with completing Festive Fervor challenges to earn goodies during the main event. There will be 13 prizes up for grabs, including an epic LMG blueprint if all six Vanguard or Warzone Pacific challenges are completed.

Call of Duty Vanguard Free Multiplayer Weekend!

Another free multiplayer weekend will let new players experience these festive events, this time from Thursday, December 16th through Sunday, December 21st.

During this time, Armageddon mode will be implemented, though it will essentially be a rebranded Drop Zone. As a result, you’ll have to struggle for control of a certain area on the map where care packages will start to arrive.

The only difference between this version of Drop Zone and previous versions is that you only get points for killing people, with bonus points if you do so while using a Killstreak.

Full details for the event can be found in Activision’s blog post here!
