Below is the "There's a soldier in all of us" commercial for MW3....Jonah Hill, really? Sam Worthington is ok I suppose,but Jonah Hill is probably more of a gamer in real life. I think the Black Ops Trailer was so much better! You be the judge..

Call of Duty: The Art of War
With another successful release in the Call of Duty franchise Activision proves that war is good for the economy!
With 5.6 M copies sold in the first 24 in the US, Black Ops actually outsold COD: MW2 by over 9M units!
That's $313,600,000.00 USD in 24 hours! It took a little over 2 months for Modern Warfare 2 to break 1 billion dollars in sales globally, Black Ops is well on the way to reaching that lofty record.
With numbers like these it proves that war is profitable...at least digitally these days, and Activision knows how to sell it! I thought it would be interesting to see the progression of the franchise from the original CoD launch trailer to the most recent Black Ops launch trailer. I find it fascinating how the early titles trailers have a more noble and honorable demeanor and the newer titles starting with Modern Warfare emphasize the extreme frenetic nature of warfare.
The CoD franchise is only 7 years old, and is showing no signs of slowing down, with each new title Activision proves that the gaming industry is rapidly overshadowing Hollywood.
I hope Activision can rebuild Infinity Ward in time for the Nov 2011 release of CoD:MW3 or the rumored CoD: Future Warfare...Marines in spaaaaaace (stay frosty people)!

Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 Boxart
Apparently some fans were none too pleased with the Modern Warfare2 box art that Activision originally unleashed upon the masses. So they threw their artistist into a room with some zombie nazi's and the the results seemed to please the masses...Thank God because this could've escalated into a global crisis!
Original
New and improved

Modern Warefare 2 teaser trailer
GDC 09 is underway and there's bound to be some sweet surprises for gamers....like Modern Warefare 2! The trailer seems to focus on sound and the way it interacts with the environment around you. From what I could make out from my initial observation, there's a group of either terrorists or special forces in an elevator. MW2 deploys 11.10.09.....oooh a countdown O.o

Call of Duty: World at War
Call of Duty World at War is incoming! Mark your calenders, November 11th...right on time for the holiday spending frenzy! Like most I'm a bit tired of the WWII scene but I'll most likely check it out. CoD:W@W is being made by Treyarch not IW, I expect we'll see CoD 6 from IW some time next year.
CoD: W@W will feature 4 player online coop mode along with the online multiplayer. Also like CoD4: MW the story mode will be split between US troops in the Pacific and Russian troops on the European front.
Man I'm still working on getting my golden AK47 >.<

Game Review: Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare
"War is delightful to those who have not yet experienced it."-Erasmus
Call of Duty 4 begins as you (Yasir Al-Fulani) are abducted by Victor Zakhaev, son of Imran Zakhaev and thrown in the backseat of a car and driven thru the streets as a coup is going on and then tied to a post as Khaled Al-Asad kills you all while being broadcast. CoD4 had my attention at that point, and I can say it never let go! CoD4 offers one of the most compelling game experiences that rival many hollywood movies! If I can say CoD4 is equally entertaining as films such as Full Metal Jacket, Saving Private Ryan, Black Hawk Down and Platoon. The game looks like a next gen title, the graphics really pull you into the whole experience and if you have an HD TV with 1080p resolution and a decent home theater you'll be in gaming nirvana! The realism of the in game graphics is partially attained by utilizing high dynamic range lighting which can be seen throughout the multitude of environments. As I said before a decent home theater will really enhance the overall experience as CoD4's sound track and sound effects are top notch and the multiple layers of voice acting is very engrossing. Without spoiling the experiences within CoD4 you will really feel the chaos of war from the very first mission on the tanker till the final moments on the bridge.
As many reviews have pointed out the off line game is kinda short, I finished it in little over 5 hours but thats only a fraction of the fun CoD4 offers. Time to put those skills to the test and go online!
For those Cod4 Online FNG's you begin a lvl 1 Private and advance up the ranks by getting XP, you earn XP by killing opponents, completing objectives, like defusing the bomb in Sabotage or Search and Destroy. The amount of XP gained varies depending on the type of match the user is playing. When the user gains enough Experience Points their rank/level increases. Below is a list of the levels/ranks available.
1-3 Private
4-6 Lance Corpral
7-9 Corpral
10-12 Sergeant
13-15 Staff Sergeant
16-18 Gunnery Sergeant
19-21 Master Sergeant
22-24 Master Gunnery Sergeant
25-27 2nd Lieutenant
28-30 1st Lieutenant
31-33 Captain
34-36 Major
37-39 Lieutenant Colonel
40-42 Colonel
43-45 Brigadier General
46-48 Major General
49-51 Lieutenant General
52-54 General
55 Comander
As you advance up the ranks new weapons, challenges and perks are unlocked, challenges are weapon specific and include getting a certain number of kills, headshots, crouching or prone kills etc. by completing these challenges you are rewarded XP and unlock attachments for the weapon such as laser sights, silencers, or scopes.
Perks are also unlocked in the same fashion, perks give players an added bonus, players can choose 3 in your "create a class" which allows the player to customize their player.
The following is a list of known perks and what they offer. The number of available perks keeps the online experience level and doesn't give one player a huge advantage over another.
Perk 1: Bomb Squad
C4 x 2
Claymore x 2
RPG-7 x 2
Speicial Grenades x 3.....(Gives you 3 more smoke/flash grenades)
Frag x 3
Bandolier.....(Adds more ammo to your clip)
Perk 2: Juggernaut.....(More Health)
Slieght of hand.....(Reload quicker)
Stopping power.....(More weapon damage)
UAV Jammer.....(Jams enemy radar)
Sonic Boom.....
Double Tap.....
Perk 3: Extreme conditioning.....(Sprint longer)
Steady Aim.....(Steadier aiming)
Last Stand.....(Shoot your pistol while dying)
Deep Impact.....(Better bullet penetration through walls)
Dead Silence.....(Less noise when running)
Iron Lungs.....(Hold breath longer when sniping)
Eavesdrop.....(Allows you to listen in on enemy chat)
Martyrdom.....(While dying, player pulls a grenade)
CoD4 MW offers plenty of variety with a plethora of online modes such as Team Deathmatch, Free-for-All, Domination, Ground War, Sabotage, Headquarters, Tactical, Old School, and Hardcore. Each mode offers differnt rules of engagements to keep the online expirence fresh and not an XP grind to 55.
Call of Duty 4 is a terrific addition to your PS3 collection and really showcases the potential of your system, it's also avail on PC and X360. For more intel check http://www.charlieoscardelta.com/
