Monday, 23 August 2010 Henry Dowling

It looks like everyone is having trouble with their 'eject' buttons, because Modern Warfare 2 still tops the charts, almost a year on. We suspect Treyarch's next addition in the CoD series will follow in MW2's foot steps and topple Infinity Ward's tour de force when it hits later this year ...

So it seems Infinity Ward's Modern Warfare 2 has settled in nicely back at the top of the charts, with pretenders to the throne such as Red Dead Redemption and Bad Company 2 not managing to hold the position for more than a week or two at best. Perhaps we'll have to wait for the next installment in the Call of Duty saga or Halo: Reach to really give MW2 a run for its money ...

Activision: No plans for pay-to-play Call of Duty multiplayer

Tuesday, 20 July 2010 Steven De Klerk

Just days after crystal-ball-staring gaming analyst Michael Pachter warned that it's necessary for Activision to start monetizing Call of Duty's multiplayer, perhaps as soon as Black Ops later this year, a video (seen below) was posted on Youtube which seemingly outed an upcoming pay-to-play subscription model for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2's online multiplayer. Well, the good news is that, for now, Activision has no plans to charge gamers for online multiplayer in either Modern Warfare 2, or Black Ops ...

The second map pack for Infinity Ward's first person shooter Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, entitled the Resurgence Pack, has finally landed on Xbox LIVE, bringing with it 5 new maps - 2 of which are rehashed Call of Duty 4 maps - along with a rather hefty 1200 MS Points price tag. So is Activision just cashing in, or is there real value in these "new" maps for Call of Duty players ...

Treyarch didn't 'draw anything from MW2' for Black Ops

Thursday, 03 June 2010 Tarryn van der Byl

Last week saw the release of Alan Wake, one of the most eagerly anticipated Xbox 360 titles this year, as well as the unveiling of the Halo: Reach multiplayer beta, but not even these two heavyweights could knock the mighty Modern Warfare 2 and Battlefield: Bad Company 2 off the top of the chart ...
