Specializing in Call of Duty http://bashandslash.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1072&Itemid=69 The topic on today’s BASH is the MMO-shooter Global Agenda. Big thanks to Global Agenda aficionado and friend of the show, Gareth (aka Mister G), who shares with us his knowledge of the game. GA is a third-person MMO-shooter that behaves and plays like an FPS and has elements of an RPG built in. Why showcase an MMO? Well, with all the talk of Activision trying to imprint a World of Warcraft template onto its premiere FPS franchise, the CoD community might get its very own MMO sooner than it bargained for. For this reason, we thought we would take a...

A good deal of MP information came out tonight at a big do in downtown Los Angeles, where community movers and shakers gathered to look at the online version of the new CoD franchise. What do you think about the MP news?

If you are a BF gamer you will have seen zh1nt0 almost everywhere recently. If he’s not tweeting about community happenings, he’s replying on EA’s Battlefield forums. And if he’s not doing that, he’s playing on community servers. And since he’s not doing those things at the moment, he’s on here with us today.

Recently, Renato, aka maxxor from the European-based Pandora Configs (images/stories/cod2/tweaks/Proconfigs1207/pandoraeSports.zip) Featuring: aNttOnI.cfg eevokki.cfg sacrim.cfg Decori.cfg maxxor.cfg vozER.cfg Team Turpo Configs (images/stories/cod2/tweaks/Proconfigs1207/TeamTurpo.zip) Also a Finnish team, features: berry.cfg hOlic.cfg Viilee.cfg EEtu.cfg lazyi.cfg In addition to the COD2 team they are putting together a COD4 team and are very ambitious about both projects.

What if anything does it mean for PC? Today, Jim (aka Rudedog) from FPSadmin.com, Josh Peckler, from planetcallofduty.com and I talk about what we saw in the vid. Forget single-player, For many of us hardcore PC gamers, multiplayer (MP) is the only gaming we do. CoD:BO so far looks like it will be a winner. It looks slick, smooth and sensational. It might possibly be the MW2 we had all hoped for. That may sound like a backhanded compliment, but it’s... Tue, 17 Aug 2010 23:12:34 +0100 http://bashandslash.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1054&Itemid=94 Just the other day I was hanging out on the BASH CoD4 Promod server and whining about how we do not have enough good community competitive maps. The stock competitive maps for CoD4, like Vacant, Crash, Strike, Backlot and District are still good but are way past the ripe stage. Then...like a bolt from the blue, I received an email from a good friend of BASH from downunder, Geoff (aka ragequit, aka Nahtzee) telling me about a new map for the competitive guys, known as mp_dusty. The map was made by Australian CoD4 players named FastArms and Taint from the clan GiGa,...

Sledgehammer's Glen Schofield alterted us of their involvement in CoD8 with these recent tweets: Picking composers 4 the game. Fun stuff, think we found a great fit. Audio will b better than what we did on Dead Space. D. Veca team@shg Working w/ military guys- their stories will blow you away. Names/locations will change but some situations going in the game- real stuff! 3 new employees started this week. We are growing fast but still make sure we maintain our high hiring standards.

We are focusing on level two in this article. The series strives to provide tips for playing BFBC2 RUSH gametype in 32-man public servers. Introduction The attackers (U.S.) have been successful at winning over the upper level in Arica, Border Control. That level was dealt with in our first strat article: Arica Harbor (Upper) (index.php?option=com_content task=view id=1042 Itemid=128) The defenders (Russian) are pushed down a hill into Town. The sea is on their right and a steep hillside to their left. The attackers need to charge down that hill...

This is straight from the latest SEC Document briefing by Activision (Form 10-Q Filed 08/06/10 for the Period Ending 06/30/10).

On March 3, 2010, West and Zampella filed a complaint against the Company in Los Angeles Superior Court for breach of contract and wrongful termination, among other claims. West and Zampella are seeking...

The new version contains the three new maps: Bespin, Bestine and Not A Cave, and a revised Mos Eisley. As well, there are new weapons and also a new game type called Very Important Droid (VID). The number one issue I have heard about this impressive community mod was that there weren't enough maps...well the three new ones should fix that. There have been 50,000+ downloads of...
