Call of Duty is here with its annual installment of token campaigning  followed by multiplayer that will swallow your life.  I actually have to say that I have lost all interest in Call of Duty as it goes further and further into a science fiction future.  The pinnacle of the series, ironically, is getting a remastered packaging with CoD:IW.  When Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare was released, it changed the shooter genre forever.  Yes, it had amazing multiplayer, but it also had a killer campaign and was rooted in the military of today.  This entire genre started back with Medal of Honor, and it’s been at its best when it has put players in historic/current military situations.  I’m playing Battlefield 1 right now, and it’s astoundingly good.  I’m sure CoD is well-made, but if I want a science fiction shooter, Titanfall 2 looks amazing and Gears of War 4 is the best entry in the series since the second game.  This will sell 10 million copies, and that’s great, but I really have completely lost interest in the franchise (sigh, yes, there are zombies again too). I know that a ton of people are waiting for the midnight launch, and I hope you have a blast.  Cheevos below, as always, courtesy of the good folks at xboxachievements.com.
