Hardcore Gamer was at Call of Duty XP in Inglewood all week long, immersing ourselves in everything Call of Duty. We’ve already posted our hands-on impressions of Infinite Warfare and a myriad of news, but now it’s time to delve deep into the inner-workings of this year’s releases. After talking with Infinity Ward about Infinite Warfare’s multiplayer and Lee Ross about Zombies in Spaceland , we sat down for an extended roundtable with Raven Software Studio Director, David Pellas, to learn about the process of remastering Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. The session ended up being refreshingly candid and brought forth multiple revelations about the development of the title.

Modern Warfare 3 ‘s gameplay modes also see new additions. Among the new modes are Slam Deathmatch, where players perform WWE-style wrestling moves for team points, and Arcade, where power weapons are scattered across the maps and players drop powerful pickups on death. Moreover, COD Warrior mode faces three teams against each other in fast-paced mini-games with different objectives changing each round. In-season modes like Fishfection and Paintball introduce interesting twists, such as turning eliminated players into infected fish or using paintball weapons for one-shot ki

So we started with the bones and we have a really strong partnership with Infinity Ward. We’ve been working with them since Modern Warfare 3 and in fact this year this will be our tenth COD. So we’ve been around the block will all of the partner studios for a very long time. The engine that we used is actually the latest version of the COD engine. Now there always comes a time in development when the lead studio needs to take the current engine and branch off so we can focus on different aspects for our own project. So it’s not the exact same engine being used in any other game but that was kind of the point at which we had to establish what we were going to focus on and what we needed to move forward with. So we started with what was already there, we had all the layouts, all of the source code, all of the materials, all of the textures and all of the models. Everything from the original FPS game cheats we had access to it, and we got that because Infinity Ward was working with us on that. What we did was we started with the gameplay. We wanted to make sure we had the timing down right, we wanted to make sure that feel of it in the engine, because the engine is actually an upgraded version of the one that we had used. It’s really hard to talk about upgrades to engines and give them a name, that’s why they’re really generic with the COD engine.

As for Call of Duty: Warzone , the MTZ Interceptor Marksman Rifle, the only weapon to see an adjustment with this new update, has received a slight nerf to its maximum and minimum damage. Similar to Modern Warfare 3 ‘s multiplayer fixes, an issue in Warzone which kicks players to the main menu while using the Gunsmith has been patched up as well. Other miscellaneous bug fixes include Warzone players getting stuck in the Gulag , players being able to duplicate backpack items, and weapon attachments not appearing as they should in-game. The patch notes also remind players to expect more weapon changes as part of the mid-season Reloaded update next w

Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone have entered their final season, bringing about the annual return of The Haunting Event for players to dive into.

On the roof of the compound just South of the reactor building in G-6 , there is a supply crate on the south side facing towards one of the Konni helicopters. This supply crate will give players a Signal 50 sniper rifle with a variable infrared sc

With just under a week to go until Season 1 Reloaded lands, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 has detailed a new update for multiplayer and Warzone which irons out some of the game’s persisting bugs. On the Modern Warfare 3 multiplayer side of the fence, the update addresses the headache of players getting booted to the multiplayer menu when doing things like viewing an after-action report or equipping conversion kits to weapons. The update also corrects the unlock requirements for items such as Modern Warfare 3 ‘s Throwning Star , the Ravage-10 stock attachment, and the Rival-9’s Compensator Muzzle. Perhaps most importantly, six of the game’s multiplayer maps, including Afghan, Meat, and Rust, have received adjustments to some of their spawn locations in the name of alleviating unfair spawn camp advanta

The year is 2011. It’s been four years since Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare was released and made Call of Duty THE go-to game for any first-person shooter gamer. Aiming to rival for that title was Kaos Studios’ near-future war shooter Homefront . The marketing for the game was everywhere, and it was poised to be the next big first-person shooter to rival Call of Du
