Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (Not Sequel) is launching on October 25th

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is launching on October 25th on PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is scheduled to hit Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC on October 25th, complete with cross-play capabilities. Plus, it won't have the series' traditional, paid Season Pass for post-launch maps, gear and events. Instead, developer Infinity Ward plans on shipping more free content than they have with past Call of Duty installments.
It's likely that Modern Warfare will support cross-play, but the extent of this system is unclear. A representative for series publisher Activision couldn't clarify whether the new game would be playable between Xbox One and PS4, or just across consoles and PC. Here's the official statement: "With the launch of Modern Warfare, the team is taking steps to unite the community. First, the team plans for Modern Warfare to be played together across PC and console through cross-play support."

Modern Warfare features a robust singleplayer campaign, plus co-op and multiplayer components, with a narrative experience that spans all modes. The previous Call of Duty game, Black Ops 4 from Treyarch, didn't have a traditional singleplayer option at all, instead supporting a handful of online multiplayer modes, including a battle royale option.
Modern Warfare, meanwhile, is all about singleplayer, and Infinity Ward is pushing the series in a more realistic direction. Classic characters like Captain John Price return, but the storyline of previous Modern Warfare games has been scrapped. Instead, the game is packed with scenarios that feel ripped from today's headlines. Players experience contemporary battlefields through the eyes of a highly skilled special forces soldier, and also from the perspective of a freedom fighter from a wartorn country in the Middle East.

The game will feature a single-player story campaign that’s split into two halves. In one you’ll play as a high-ranking special ops soldier, and in the other you’re a rebel fighter in the Middle East. As the game is also an incredibly realistic and violent shooter, there’s a lot of potential for problematic or disturbing moments, virtual situations that won’t square nicely with what is ultimately an entertainment product about firing guns. It’s a fine line, but Minkoff says that it’s important to show these more troubling aspects of war, in order to give players a better understanding of the reality.

“We know that we aren’t going to please everybody, but we’re doing our absolute best to handle complex subject material with honor, with respect, with sensitivity,” he says. The development team uses the internal tagline “Jaws not Saw,” with a stated goal of having violence that’s intense and mature, instead of overly gratuitous and gory.
Modern Warfare isn’t necessarily trying to get across a specific political message with its present-day narrative, but there is at least one thing Minkoff hopes players get out of the experience. “I want you to have empathy,” he says. “I want you to walk a mile in the shoes of these characters, and step away from this game understanding more about what they face.”

Generation Zero review - an atmospheric, open world

Image
Generation Zero  PC game  It is 1989 and executioner robots have attacked the Swedish wide open. This is the unquestionably one of a kind reason for Generation Zero, an open world shooter from Just Cause designer Avalanche. In any case, this is a littler generation than we're utilized to from the studio. The guide is gigantic, in light of the fact that Avalanche maps dependably are, however, the game itself is a shockingly lean undertaking. You play as one of a few senseless 1980s originals: punk, muscle head, geek, etc. You have a couple of free objectives including discovering why everybody is missing, finding survivors, and revealing reality behind the intrusion. In any case, you're never truly directed down one specific way. You can make your very own objectives and investigate at your very own pace, either alone or with three different players. Dispersed over the guide are towns, homesteads, dugouts, and increasingly outlandish areas including an army insta
