The latest addition to the "Call of Duty" universe drops on November 10th, which is coincidentally (or maybe not) the Marine Corps birthday. I have played all the XBox games in the series (except the first one) and I must say that it is one of the best First Person Shooter series ever released.
The latest version will be another Infinity Ward developed title. IW was actually founded by a group of people wwho used to work for 2015. 2015 were the folks who brought us the Medal of Honor series. From my own personal experience, I would have to say that Infinity Ward was founded by the best developers that 2015 had to offer.
The series itself is developed alternately by IW and Treyarch. Treyarch, in my opinion, is the less talented of the two groups. They have good releases and the product is quality, but IW seems to be a little bit more innovative. But I will give credit where it is due and say that Treyarch does produce games with good graphics and smooth play. I think the weakness is their storyline development. IW seems to have better storylines and in a multi release series, this is essential to game development.
Anyway, the release is heavily anticipated. The game itself will come in three deifferent versions, each including a set of extras. Although I must say that the version that features the night vision goggles seems to be way over the top. I'm a little skeptical that a serious gamer would buy a game for over $100 just to obtain a functioning pair of NVGs.
I'm looking forward to booting it up after work on Tuesday night and playing into the wee hours. Thank God Wednesday is a holiday...
