“The rules have changed … there’s a fine line between lines and somewhere in the shadows they have sent us to find them..”
The sound of the night jungle, the flickering of the fireflies and the tossing of the captain’s cigar curtain raised the next instalment of Call of Duty, titled as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.
The game publisher Activision has revealed the game’s release date of 25 October (for PS4, Xbox One, and PC) and some exciting details regarding both cross-play and the typical season pass offered with CoD games.
The gameplay toddles on the role of lethal Tier One operator in a heart-racing saga that will affect the global balance of power. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare engulfs fans in an incredibly raw, gritty, provocative narrative that brings unrivalled intensity and shines a light on the changing nature of modern war. Developed by the studio that started it all, Infinity Ward delivers an epic reimagining of the iconic Modern Warfare series from the ground up.
In the visceral and dramatic single-player story campaign, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare pushes boundaries and breaks rules the way only Modern Warfare can. Players will engage in breathtaking covert operations alongside a diverse cast of international special forces throughout iconic European cities and volatile expanses of the Middle East.
Modern Warfare will, of course, include a multiplayer mode, but Infinity Ward hasn’t yet revealed much more detail on that portion of the game. It did say, however, that your progression in the campaign will carry over to multiplayer, meaning you’ll always be working towards unlocking new killstreaks, perks, and weapons.
The game will feature cross-play across all platforms. Additionally, Activision will not be selling the standard season pass that locks off new, post-launch multiplayer maps.

Sonic the Hedgehog has had a cult following for years so naturally fans had high expectations with regards to its CGI-reboot. So much so that immediately after the trailer launch, the backlash over its character-design prompted the director to issue a statement in which he promised fans to design Sonic again. Human-like teeth and longers legs just didn’t do for the fans who have an affinity for the classic 2D character.
Winnie the Pooh has captivated kids with his shenanigans for years. With the movie Christopher Robin, CGI breathed a new life into the cuddlesome bear with the tactile quality of materials, and Pooh was made to look snug and furry like a stuffed animal with his trademark raggedy slant. It’s an alluring effect. The animation is considerably moderate of the stitched-doll make of the characters but also seems to have a great deal of variety based on each character’s personality. With vfx, it becomes clear that Pooh’s eyes constitute hard plastic-like material, and the filmmakers have chosen to maintain the integrity of that fabric by keeping it rigid throughout.
Even though the CGI work of Genie played by Will Smith drew a lot of flak in the first trailer, the second trailer mitigated the assuaged the miffed fans where the genie appeared much more pronounced. The whirl-wind effect at the lower body is an impeccable work of VFX whilst the body-ratio itself is pretty much on-point. Although there were some rough patches where the light hasn’t refracted well upon the figure which was also fixed by some fan remakes later. Overall, the way the blue wish-granting lamp-dweller whirls out of the lamp makes for stunning imagery.
