War has changed. Or has it?
With Call of Duty coming out every November like clockwork and a slew of shooters jumping on that “modern warfare” bandwagon it can be easy to succumb to shooter fatigue. That doesn’t mean I can borrow a page from classic gaming history and turn in a review that reads “just another shooting game” though; each Call of Duty game brings something to the table that’s worth talking about. Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 moves the franchise forward in some ambitious ways, but it’s held back by the very structure the series is known for.
Available now for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC. The Wii U version will be available on November 18.

Activision will not disclose settlement details
Remember how a few weeks ago we reported that Activision paid West and Zampella $42 Million? Remember how I said the trial was going to take place anyway?
Does Treyarch’s new look offer a breath of fresh air to the franchise or just a flashy paint job?
Earlier this month Treyarch released the surprising official reveal trailer of Call of Duty: Black Ops 2. Fans and Critics alike commended Treyarch’s futuristic vision.

However, while the change of scenery certainly is refreshing, I can’t help but wonder – Is it really that different?

Activision has multiple Black Ops domain names registered,
Call of Duty is a name gamers see over and over, and with good reason—it makes Activision a ton of money. Since Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, each subsequent game in the series has topped the previous entry in sales. Since Infinity Ward released Modern Warfare 3 last year, the next title is in the hands of Treyarch, if the development trend continues. But what would they be working on? A return to WW II? A wholly new entry in the series? How about a sequel to Black Ops, the most successful game for the team to date?
