‘Call of Duty’ Goes Back to War

by Chris Ullrich, Apr 26 2017 // 5:07 PM

That’s right. The mega gaming franchise Call of Duty is going back to the beginning. Well, to the 1940’s to be exact with the newly released trailer for Call of Duty: World War II.

Here’s some more info from the official press release: “Over two years in the making, Sledgehammer Games delivers a gritty, personal experience in the setting of the largest worldwide conflict in history to a new gaming generation in Call of Duty: WWII.

Play through the story of ordinary men turned soldiers in the 1st Infantry Division as they fight to preserve freedom in the face of tyranny.”

We’re in. Check out the trailer after the break. Call of Duty: World War II hits the beaches (and stores) on November 3rd.

Here’s Your First Look at ‘Call of Duty: Black Ops III’

by Chris Ullrich, Apr 27 2015 // 5:00 AM

Black Ops 3_No Fly Zone

With all the uncertainty in the world, at least there’s one thing we can pretty much always count on: new Call of Duty games. The latest one is called Call of Duty: Black Ops III.

This new chapter in the franchise takes place in “a dark, gritty future where a new breed of Black Ops soldier emerges and the lines are blurred between our own humanity and the cutting-edge military robotics that define the future of combat.” That does sound cool.

Judge for yourself by watching the first trailer for the game, which has just been released. Look for Call of Duty: Black Ops III to arrive on November 9.

The trailer is after the break.

Game Review: ‘Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare’ for PlayStation 4

by John Carle, Nov 17 2014 // 9:44 AM

Call-of-Duty-Advanced-Warfare1

Another year, another COD, right? It is the one thing you can always count on to terrify publishers from releasing on the same date which makes the week’s purchasing decision a pretty easy one. You’re either getting Call of Duty or you’re not. There aren’t other games to even consider. But with this being the umpteenth release of the blockbuster franchise, how does it live up to previous years and even more importantly, how does it compare to the hype?

The Long

With their being three developers in the rotation now for the Call of Duty franchise, Sledgehammer enters the fray with a new IP with the Advanced Warfare story. A drastically different tone than either Black Ops 2 or Ghost, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare follows the world of the privatized military which are effectively government sanctioned mercenaries. As seen by all of the marketing materials, this corporation known as Atlas is headed up by the one and only Kevin Spacey and the role he takes as the player’s surrogate father after his own son is killed in combat.

Without giving too much information about the story, it follows pretty much every one of the expected beats. It’s not that it’s bad, but it is not going to surprise anyone either. It’s like going into a summer blockbuster that has no need for plot twists. It has a ton of polish and explosions that prevent you from having to think too hard.

Yes indeed. Check out the trailer after the break.

‘Call of Duty: Ghosts’ DLC Onslaught Pack Lets You Be Michael Meyers

by John Carle, Jan 14 2014 // 8:00 AM

Call of Dude Ghosts Onslaught

Yesterday, Activision gave the first detailed glimpse at Onslaught, the first DLC pack for Call of Duty: Ghosts. As has become the standard, the pack will include four regular multiplayer maps, one new weapon and one survival map, this time for the Extinction game mode. As you’ll see in the trailer after the break, the multiplayer levels are more goal oriented than ever before with a “reward” system that looks to really change the dynamic of each individual match.

The most exciting new map has to be Fog. A dark and spooky backwoods map with cabins and a barn, the real excitement comes from the completed field order which turns a player into Michael Meyers. Yes, from Halloween. When you’re Michael, you get armed with an axe… and his signature theme music. When you get close, your victim knows it’s coming and hear it before you take them out.

Check This Out: Trailer for ‘Call of Duty’ Championship 2014

by Joe Gillis, Jan 9 2014 // 12:00 PM

cod-ghosts-5

There’s no doubt the Call of Duty gaming franchise is one of the most popular and most successful in history. Since the original Call of Duty launched for the PC in 2003, there’s been a succession of sequels and spin-offs that have helped define what a “next generation” game title can be while breaking sales records in the process.

It may not come as a surprise that some Call of Duty players take the game very seriously. So seriously, in fact, there’s a championship tournament played throughout the world to see just who the best is. And that tournament is coming up soon.

But before that, we’ve got a trailer. After the break, of course. Look for all the details on the tournament right here.

Game Review: ‘Call of Duty: Ghosts’ for XBox 360

by John Carle, Nov 11 2013 // 9:00 AM

Call of Duty Ghosts Cover Image

One billion dollars in merchandise shipped to retailers on day one. Quite the ambitious feat and though Grand Theft Auto V set the record for the fastest entertainment property to hit a billion dollars in actual sales in three days, Call of Duty: Ghosts is in a unique position in how they will reach it. This is the first Call of Duty since Call of Duty 2 to be released on a crossover year with a new console launch.

Not all gamers who are planning on purchasing the PlayStation 4 later this week or the XBox One next week are going to be able to afford a double purchase and considering what we’ve seen with the next gen graphics, it is certainly splitting the sales. And considering it is also a yearly franchise, there isn’t that same gigantic level of hype for a new Call of Duty the way there is for a new Grand Theft Auto. That said, Call of Duty: Ghosts is a game you are going to want to play.

The Long

Call of Duty: Ghosts is the first entry into the Call of Duty franchise from Infinity Ward since the conclusion of the Modern Warfare trilogy two years ago. They not only needed to introduce an entirely new set of characters but a new status quo as well. Set in a world similar to that of Modern Warfare and Black Ops, this version has a group of allied forces fending off an attack from the Federation.

‘Call of Duty: Ghosts’ Comes Out Tomorrow – Need We Say More?

by John Carle, Nov 4 2013 // 10:00 AM

See what we did there? Okay. We didn’t do it. I found it on a meme Facebook page but at least I made the effort to post it. Considering in about twenty four hours I am going to disappear for a week after Activision shoots Call of Duty: Ghosts my way and I “mysteriously” am not found in the office from an “unknown illness”.

In all seriousness, I won’t be able to wait until the XBox One comes out later this month for the next gen version of Call of Duty: Ghosts. This is an instant gratification nation and I want the game inspired by one of the best supporting characters never seen on my screen now.

And what would a Call of Duty launch be without a live action trailer. We’ve had the Replacers. We’ve had FPS Russia and Robert Downey Jr. This time, we get Megan Fox… You know what? I’ll take it.

Anything to keep her away from the Transformers franchise because at the end of the day, she isn’t going to be IN Call of Duty: Ghosts. Below you’ll check out the full live action trailer from director James Mangold on a trip with four buddies in Vegas that is way more epic than the Hangover.

COD-Ghosts_Maniac-1

If there’s one thing you can say about most of us here at The Flickcast, it’s that we love a good shoot ’em up. And that’s just what the Call of Duty franchise has been delivering for years.

That trend definitely looks to continue with the latest installment, Call of Duty: Ghosts, arrives. But don’t take our word for it, you only need gaze at the new launch trailer for the game to know it’s gonna be one hell of a ride. Here’s what the folks at Activision are saying about the game:

Outnumbered and outgunned, but not outmatched. Call of Duty: Ghosts takes players to a world altered by a devastating mass event. Following an elite squad of soldiers known as the “Ghosts,” lead the fight back against a newly emerged global power.

Um, yes, count us in. Take a look at the launch trailer after the break.

Look for Call of Duty: Ghosts to arrive November 5, 2013.
