Hasta La Gadget!

We first heard about solid details on the next Call of Duty game last week, thanks to a leaked Target promo ad. However, while Target listed the game for a November 5 release date, we took that with a heavy grain of salt, since retailers don’t always get the release date right. However, according to a leaked poster of the game, November 5 is indeed the date that we’ll see the game release.

IGN ended up getting a hold of the leaked promo poster from GameStop, and it lists November 5 at the bottom. Furthermore, Activision recently launched a teaser website for the upcoming game, which displays a skull that is most likely referring to the mask that Lt. Simon “Ghost” Riley wore in past Call of Duty titles.

The title of the game, along with the teaser website hints at the possibility that Call of Duty: Ghosts will follow Lt. Riley as the main protagonist in the game. The man shown on the box art and promo posters could actually be Ghost himself, as it looks like he is pulling off the skull mask that he iconically wears.

According to the game’s box art, it seems it will release on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Windows, and the Wii U. IGN says that an official reveal of Call of Duty: Ghosts will be expected tomorrow, so you can be sure that we’ll hear more details about the game real soon. In the meantime, we’ll ponder over the implications of a Ghost-based Call of Duty game.

It was sometime in the middle of this month when the Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 Uprising map pack was made available to faithful peons of the Xbox 360, leaving owners of the Sony PS3 scratching their heads in dismay, wondering when will they be able to enjoy what the Xbox 360 owners were ranting about over the past 9 days or so. Well, all of your waiting is not in vain as we have received word that when May 16th rolls around the corner, PS3 as well as Windows PC players will be able to enjoy the Uprising map pack, too.

Uprising is said to come with a quartet of new multiplayer maps, in addition to “Mob of the Dead,” a bone-chilling new Zombies experience which would see players being assigned to the notorious prison island of Alcatraz. You will find some of Hollywood’s most iconic actors round out the cast of Prohibition-era mobsters, ranging from Ray Liotta to Michael Madsen, Chazz Palminteri, and Joe Pantoliano, in an effort to ensure no expense is spared in bringing this horrifying adventure to life. Have you wet your pants already?

If history is any indication, then it’s quite clear that yet another Call of Duty game will be released this fall. However, we’ve yet to really hear any solid details about the new title. However, leaked box art and promo ads have shown up, with the title of the game being Call of Duty: Ghosts and a release date of November 5, 2013.

The box art first showed up on Tesco Direct’s website, but the listing has since been removed. However, a Target circular has also been leaked, which shows the title art of the game, with a release date of November 5, 2013 for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. The promotion is for $10 off any game $49.99 or higher when you pre-order Call of Duty: Ghosts.

According to Charlie Intel, who obtained the leak, the new Call of Duty title is also expected to be announced “any day now,” according to their sources. While the rumored release date for the game seems more than plausible, retailers almost always use placeholders until they find out the official release date for a game, so November 5 may not be the actual release date.

We’re not sure if the title of the game is a reference to one of the characters in past Call of Duty titles, named Ghost, who is most-known for wearing that iconic skull-faced balaclava. If the game is, in fact, based around Ghost, it should be quite a doozy, as Ghost is one of the more favorited characters in the series. However, we’ll keep this with a grain of salt for now until we hear official word.

Activision and Treyarch announced last week it would be delivering a new map pack for its Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 called Uprising. The map pack will come with four new multiplayer maps and an all-new co-op zombies campaign called Mob of the Dead. The new zombies campaign will star four iconic actors who have performed numerous mobster roles, which is why both Activision and Treyarch decided to highlight Mob of the Dead in a new trailer.

Mob of the Dead stars the voices and the likenesses of Ray Liotta, Chazz Palminteri, Michael Madsen and Joe Pantoliano as they play four mobsters who find themselves trapped on Alcatraz Island. Lucky for them, they’re not alone, as the entire island has been overrun with zombies who want nothing more than have a meatball sub with the mobsters’ brains. (more…)

If you’re a fan of Black Ops II on the Xbox 360, you’ll be the first to get your hands on the new downloadable content pack called Uprising. The DLC will bring four new maps for multiple player action including Magma, Encore, Vertigo, and Studio.

The Magma map puts players in a Japanese village that is being besieged by lava flows from a volcano nearby. The Encore map has players fighting it out in close quarters in a concert setting after a London music festival. The Vertigo map puts players on the roof of a skyscraper in India where they have to battle across a landing pad. The Studio map has players fighting on a movie backlot as they battle through different settings including science-fiction and western settings.

The coolest thing that this new DLC will bring is an additional zombie map with new characters called Mob of the Dead that takes place on Alcatraz island. The players will play as mobsters portayed by Hollywood actors Ray Liotta, Chazz Palminteri, Joe Pantoliano, and Michael Madsen.

The new content pack will hit the Xbox 360 on April 16. It will be available for gamers on the PS3 and PC platforms at a later date which is currently unannounced.
