A billion dollars in sales in just 16 days. An unprecedented release both for the video game and entertainment industry. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is a juggernaut. It only seems fitting that along with the Call of Duty Elite mobile app going live this week, that the DLC announcements would start rolling out as well. Starting January 24th for premium Call of Duty Elite members on XBox Live (and later dates for other platforms) until September, there will be at least twenty content drops for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 including “brand new multiplayer maps, Special Ops Missions, new game modes and more.”

“The mammoth launch of Modern Warfare 3 and the breakout success of Call of Duty Elite were just the beginning. Call of Duty Elite provides an “always-on” connection to our fanbase, and the MW3 Content Season is the ultimate way to demonstrate our ongoing commitment to the Call of Duty community and provide tremendous value to Call of Duty Elite premium members,” said Eric Hirshberg, CEO of Activision Publishing. “With the Call of Duty®: MW3 Content Season for Call of Duty Elite we are delivering on our promise of more new content, more often, and with more variety than ever. With three studios collaborating on the first season, the breadth and depth of material on tap is truly extraordinary. It’s rare you can successfully execute both quantity and quality, but thanks to the expertise of our developers, the reach of Call of Duty Elite and the passion of our fans, we intend to deliver.”

Content drops will occur once a month for the nine month duration of the DLC season with the first three months from January to March promising five different content drops.

Last week, Activision launched the Facebook page and released teaser trailers for quite possibly one of the most anticipated games of the past decade: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. The teasers hinted that the game would be a global war including the United States, Germany, France and England. Now, for those who were not watching ESPN during game 4 of the Western Conference Finals can take their first peek at the game, coming from Raven Software and Sledgehammer Games.

“It doesn’t take the most powerful nations on earth to create the next global conflict. Just the will of a single man.” World War 3 is coming and the first peek of it can be seen in this trailer. From the look of things, there are going to be some epic set pieces in Modern Warfare 3, much like the Washington DC level of Modern Warfare 2.

Though much of these scenes are likely to be in engine cut scenes and not full gameplay, it is an impressive start for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.

Coming out on November 8th, 2011, can Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 break its own records? Stick tight right here for more as it becomes available.

If you’re a fan of first person shooter games and the Call of Duty franchise in particular, you’re about to get a lot happier. No, a new game in the series isn’t coming out tomorrow. That would be too cool.

However, the new Facebook and YouTube pages for the soon to be a giant hit game Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 have just gone live so you know what that means. That’s right, a new game in the franchise is coming soon and from the videos so far, it looks to be another great one.

We don’t know a lot about the game except that from the new videos we can at least guess some of the action takes place in various countries such as France, England, Germany and the good old US of A.

What does that mean for this game? well, we shall soon see. Also, it will be very interesting to see how this game shapes up as this is the first one in the series not to be developed by Infinity Ward or Treyarch.

Instead, Sledgehammer Games and Raven Software will be handling the development with Activison doing the publishing. Look for this game later this year for XBox 360, PS 3 and PC. Of course, we’ll bring you all we can about it right here so keep on checking back.

For now, click through to check out the videos.

Take the tight first person control of Call of Duty, add the ominous feel of Bioshock, toss in some old school Cold War paranoia and insert some cool time altering powers and you find yourself with a recipe for success in Singularity.

Gameplay:

Especially in a shooter, there is so much importance on quick and reactive control and Singularity nails it. In single player, the player follows a fairly linear path where they must shoot their way through modern day elite forces, underarmed Soviets from the 1950s and a host of mutated monsters made up of the former residents of Katorga 12.

In addition to traditional assault rifles and shot guns, players get to take control of some new and interesting weapons like a remote control rolling grenade launcher and an exploding harpoon gun. Depending on the player’s preference, they will find themselves either relying on the classic tried and true weapons or experimenting with these new ones in combination with the TMD.

The TMD, the Time Manipulation Device, is the crux of Singularity’s unique gameplay. Over the course of the game, the TMD gets upgraded with new powers. At the start, it can only age or renew objects from their modern day to 1955 states. This also works on soldiers and mutants, leaving them with a quick and painful looking demise.

This power also allows players to uncover clues left by an unknown source in the form of messages left on walls in the past. Eventually, players gain the ability to control gravity and create small bubbles in which time stops for them which leads to some interesting combat scenarios.

Raven Software and Activision’s Singularity is one of those games I’m really looking forward to. I had a chance to have a look at it previously and we’ve been bringing you as much info as we can, but nothing really compares to actual hands-on gameplay. Hopefully that will come soon enough and the game will be in my hands.

Until then, we will have to content ourselves with trailers and various other materials that highlight one aspect of the game or another. Today, we’ve got a new trailer for you that gives some more info on the game. In it, you will go behind-the-scenes with Raven Software as they discuss the multiplayer aspects of the game. Sounds good.

Singularity hits store shelves on June 26th.

I’ve been waiting for this game since I first saw some previews for it at last year’s E3 show in Los Angeles. And now, thanks to our friends at Activision, we have the first in a four-part trailer series for Singularity to share with you today. This trailer features the age and revert function of the Time Manipulation Device and how it works within the game’s environment. This looks like an awesome game full of fun, exciting ways to snuff out your enemies.

In case you’re not familiar with the game (or just don’t want to click a link), it revolves around a mysterious island known as “Katorga-12″ where Russian experiments involving element “E99″ took place during the height of the Cold War. A catastrophe known as the “Singularity” occurred on the island. In the game you are Nate Renko, an Air Force pilot who is sent to investigate radiation emissions coming from the island, only to crash land there.

After regaining consciousness, Nate finds the TMD (Time Manipulation Device) and discovers that the island is constantly shifting between 1950 and 2010. Renko’s goal is to find his co-pilot, escape the island and eventually prevent the Singularity from occurring and potentially destroying not only the island, but the entire human race.

I, for one, cannot wait for it. It looks awesome. Singularity ships for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC on June 26th. Until then, check out the trailer after the jump. By clicking through, you certify you are 18 years of age or older.

The game Singularity, from Raven Software and Activision, has been in development for some time and I’m sure its because they want to get it just right. Now, it seems they have as we’ve finally got a new trailer for the game to show you today and a confirmed release date. I first got a chance to play some Singularity at Comic-Con in San Diego last year and from what I saw then, and more recently, this game is really going to be exciting and fun. Plus, the idea of using time as a weapon is very cool.

In case you’re not familiar with the game it revolves around a mysterious island known as “Katorga-12” where Russian experiments involving element “E99” took place during the height of the Cold War.
