Hey, we got free shipping!

I wasn't always a fan of the Call of Duty series, but recently I had a change of heart. This is part thanks to one of my closest friends, who is a long-time CoD bro and my personal guide as I learned the game. On multiple occasions, he's pulled up the Modern Warfare menu on his PS3 purely for nostalgia's sake, and even showed me some of his favorite maps �especially Shipment. Well, he is going to be jazzed to find out that a World War II reskin of the classic, chaotic map is now a part of Vanguard's rotation, according to the patch notes that were relea?sed today.

The notes also include bug fixes, such as camos not showing up on weapons, crashes when attempting to send a clan invite, and PS5 players being unable to boot the game if they have less than 40GB of free space on their console. You can read the full patch notes here.

Maps like Nuketown or Vanguard's new Das Haus are always popular because of their small spaces and fast pacing, so it's not a surprise that we're seeing a return of one of the best versions of this Call of Duty has had to offer. I don't really have a way to go back and play Modern Warfare, so I can't wait to get in there and see what all the hype is about, especially with ??the different Combat Pacings to try out.

I get the feeling there's going to be a Vanguard playlist specifically for? Shipment, and that this friend and I will be spending a whole lot of time ??in it. Wish me luck out there.

Favorite campaign level?

If you've held off buying Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare Remastered this whole time and you've held onto your original Xbox 360 copy of the game, some good news: it's now backward c??ompatible.

I'm tempted to fire up a few of the more memorable levels like All Ghillied Up an??d One Shot, One Kill. But not Mile High Club. I still get nightmares about that stressful epilogue mission.

With a current-gen remaster of Modern Warfare 2 now reportedly in the works, I have to wonder how l??ong it'll take for the original version of that game to join the backward compatibility list.

Possibly coming this fall

[Update: The game's official Twitter account may have just confirmed the leak with a poop emoji.]

Modern Warfare, the game that really kicked off Call of Duty's wild popularity nine years ago, looks to be getting a curtain call. According to a reservation card at Target for the soon-to-be-announced Infinite Warfare, a remastering of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is also in development.

The leak comes via a photo that was posted to the newly-formed Infinite Warfare subreddit. The image indicates that there's a legacy edition of Infinite Warfare and that it'll include the remaster of Modern Warfare. Nothing notes whether the remaster will launch alongside this year's Call of Duty or if it'll be released at a later date.

Of course, none of this is official. This could be a hoax, but if it is, at least it's a hoax that makes a good deal of sense. Given industry trends and Activision trends, ?we're probably due for this re??master. Activision will likely let us know sooner rather than later.

Sux Lolz does not suck

If you ever wondered what the lovechild of Mirror’s Edge and Call of Duty might look like, wonder no more, my friend.?? 

YouTuber SuX Lolz  (Best. Username. Ever) has recreated the prologue map from the parkour game in the Death Run mod in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (thanks, PCGamesN). And it looks incredible.

Though unfinished, the level is incredibly det?ailed, including a day/night cycle. Here, take a butcher's yourself:

Amazing, right?

“This is probably my last cod4 map,” said creator Sux Lolz in the video descripti?on. “I worked on this map for now 3 months, the map is ?not finish[ed] but I decided to make the preview now. 

“This map will have like 4 secrets (not finish[ed]), there is 5 rooms: bounce / weapons / sniper / knife / shotgun , some rooms are on the street and some ??other room ??on rooftop.”

HAPPY FRIDAY! <3

Also, Civilization V for $9 and BioShock Infinite for $12

[Update: Borderlands 2: Game of the Year Edition has sold out at this price. The other dea??ls still appear to be available.]

It was only a couple of days ago that the Borderlands 2: Game of the Year Edition launched in North America, and one of the prevailing sentiments in the comments was that $60 was too much for a year old game, even with the included DLC. Some suggested waiting a few weeks for a price drop, but any who held out need not even wait that long; the bundle is up on NewEgg for just $18. The deal applies only to the Steam key, s?o console gamers looking to shoot skags for a low price will have to wait longer befor?e a deal hits consoles.

Other deals on NewEgg using that same coupon code are Civilization V for $9, BioShock Infinite for $12, and some of the older Call of Duty games ranging from $6 to $15. It's a good day for people who like shooting things,? but don't l??ike paying huge amounts of money.

A new week, a new challenge

This week's challenge is in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare in which I must beat the "Mile High Club" scenario on veteran. I've never really been super into the Call of Duty ga??mes, so my chances of successfully completing this rather not?orious challenge are not high!

If you've got any ideas for future challenges you'd li?ke me to have a g??o at, feel free to leave them in the comments!
