T.E.D.D. Is Dead. Long Live T.E.D.D.

Ladies and Gentlemen, we won. The Black Ops 7 T.E.D.D. operator’s reign of terror is over. He has been caught and compromised to a permanent end. Thrown in the dustbin of history; snuffed out before launch; never to return.* I jest a little, but I am glad—and surprised—that the change…

The Call of Duty Movie Was Inevitable

I mean, I guess… Activision will partner with Paramount to bring Call of Duty to the silver screen, with the option for further projects down the line if successful. Activision President Rob Kostich stated, “Our shared goal is quite simple — to create an unforgettable blockbuster movie experience that our…

Black Ops 7: Too Much To Carry

Well, that’s a shocker! Call of Duty has cancelled Carry Forward between Black Ops 6 and Black Ops 7. Operators and weapons will no longer make the jump to Black Ops 7 when Season 1 launches later this year. It’s a surprise, to be sure. While the outcry about ridiculous…

Nostalgia is a Weapon (Black Ops 7 Preview)

We’re only a few days removed from the Black Ops 7 reveal. Sick of the discourse yet? I sure am! I’ve been dodging the rage bait and bad-faith takes, but it’s no secret that many Call of Duty players are genuinely burnt out on the series. If you’re one of…

Reckoning with [REDACTED] – Black Ops 6 Zombies Ending Thoughts

One final reminder: spoilers ahead. In October 2024, I said, “I’ll worry about the next book when we finish the one we’re on”. I’ve held off writing about the potential return of Richtofen, Dempsey, Takeo and Nikolai until now. I don’t particularly enjoy seeing things leak, but it’s the reality…

Battlefield 6 Won’t Kill Call of Duty. It Doesn’t Need To.

The reveal of Battlefield 6 has set the heather alight. For the first time in a long time, there’s excitement surrounding a AAA first-person shooter that isn’t Call of Duty. Change seems to be in the air, but is it all bluster? I’ve never been much of a Battlefield…

Black Ops 6 Zombies: Reckoning Preview – Towering Ends

The end is nigh. Black Ops 6’s final Zombies map, Reckoning, is on the way, and if I’m being honest, I’m excited! The teasers from the past week far exceed those for previous maps like Citadelle Des Morts, The Tomb, or Shattered Veil. They’re more reminiscent of the Terminus ones…

It’s Not Xbox Anymore. It’s Microsoft Gaming.

Last May, I wrote: “Hopefully, the June showcase can put some fears to rest, but it will take a lot of work for Xbox to regain the trust of its fan base and the wider gaming community. We can no longer take anything the company says at face value, and…

Black Ops 7: The Seventh Wonder

Black Ops 7, outta nowhere! In retrospect, I’m not surprised it turned up at the Xbox Summer Showcase. Microsoft invested a substantial amount of time and money acquiring Activision, of course, it’d want the publisher’s pièce de résistance to appear. I don’t think anyone could have predicted the way it…

The Grief of Modern COD Zombies

I’ve already had a lot to say about the return of Grief, but no matter the amount of pre-release information available, you can only get a feel for it once you’ve jumped into a match. Having spent the past week body-blocking players in hallways and collecting bruises from Kali Sticks,…
