Pay to Play "Call of Duty Elite" is coming

Activision Blizzard Inc. plans to launch an online service called Call of Duty Elite this fall that will work with the next major edition of the game, “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3,”.

According to the Wall Street Journal:

Activision plans to charge a monthly subscription fee for the service, which will provide extra content that isn’t offered on game discs sold in stores, including downloadable map packs that give players new “Call of Duty” levels to play.

Jamie Berger, Activision's vice president of digital for "Call of Duty," said the company has about seven million daily players of the game who spend, on average, about seven full days a year playing the game against others online. Players often use headsets to communicate verbally with other online gamers.


"It's probably the biggest entertainment franchise in the world," said Dennis Durkin, corporate vice president in Microsoft's interactive-entertainment business.


"Call of Duty" is in a unique position to seek a monthly fee from customers. The game's previous installment, set during the Cold War and called "Call of Duty: Black Ops," was the best-selling game last year, with global retail sales of more than $1 billion during its first six weeks on shelves

Sony is not working on the PS4

News alert for Play Station fans that Sony is not working on the PS4 anymore. This stoppage is due to the announcement of NGP. Sony already plans to release NGP this year. However it would be better for Sony to release next-gen PS4 in next year. Sony’s Executive VP and Chief Financial Officer Masaru Kato said:

“For the home equipment the PS3 still has a product life, but this is a platform business, so for the future platform – when we’ll be introducing what product I cannot discuss that – but our development work is already under way, so the costs are incurred there.”

IGN prediction about GTA V

It's been three years since GTA IV came out, which means a lot of people are champing at the bit to see what comes next for Rockstar's signature franchise. Unfortunately, we're pretty sure you're going to have to keep waiting for the foreseeable future. Rockstar isn't on the E3 show floor in any official capacity, which means the company -- or any of the games its working on -- probably won't be there at all.

IGN director has said that "we know when GTA V will be announced and released". People can believe on IGN as IGN is one of the few trusted gaming sites that report genuine news. They wouldn't destruct their credibility especially a director. Some more trusted individual in the gaming media already knows what coming next.

Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 revealing

Marvelous amount of information about Modern Warfare 3including screenshots, Multiplayer and an outline of the game's campaign and story released. We've got some concrete information from relieable sources which should make the path a little clearer. However, we're not sure that these informations are be true or not? Sources from

Infinity Ward Creative Strategist Robert Bowling, better known as FourZeroTwo, wrote onTwitter a short while ago, "A lot of hype & a lot of leaked info on #MW3, some still accurate, some not. To avoid spoiling the experience, I'd wait for the real reveal."
Kotaku obtained the detail information about Modern Warfare game's story, art, sound, and game mods. They believed that imagery and chief details are accurate but that does'nt mean that things can't change before release.

By the way we can't completely accept the reveals and other information about MW3 until it will not released. We have watched many trailers regarding MW 3 but unfortunately none of them are real.
Even we have seen some of the screenshots of MW 2 on big blogs whose names i don't want to mention but one thing i want to say about those screenshots that no one should believe on these screenshots.
