Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare Remastered gets a multiplayer trailer
Let's start with the big one. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare redefined the FPS genre when it first released in 2007 with its explosive and gripping campaign filled with epic set pieces and memorable moments that go down as some of the most iconic moments in modern gaming. The multiplayer also changed gaming in a big way adding things like kill streaks, perks, custom weapons, and riveting gameplay. Fans were filled with joy to hear that they would be able to revisit the legendary game in a fully remastered version on Xbox One and PS4 but Infinity Ward and Activision have been holding their cards close to the chest to build hype for the game, only showing brief glimpses of gameplay in trailers. Today we got a full, juicy dose of the remastered multiplayer running on PS4. You can watch the trailer by clicking on the title of this recap or by watching the embedded video at the top of the article.
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare Remastered will feature all 16 original maps
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare has some pretty amazing maps like Overgrown and Crash, but when Infinity Ward first announced the game they revealed that they only picked out 10 maps to remaster and that the rest wouldn't be included. Fans were pretty upset as they have to pay a minimum of $79.99 to even get the remaster so it should include everything from the original game. Infinity Ward took the feedback to heart and revealed today that every map from the game will be made available by December of 2016.

Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare gets multiplayer beta dates
Call of Duty used to rarely hold betas, but it seems after Black Ops 3 held one after release and it helped boost pre-orders and make the game a massive success that this could be a trend for future Call of Duty titles. Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare will be getting a multiplayer beta first on PS4 starting October 14th with an Xbox One beta to follow soon after. It seems however that Infinity Ward has opted to not hold an open beta test on PC. You can gain access to the beta by pre-ordering any version of the game. PS4 owners should also note that they will gain 30 days early access to Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare Remastered's campaign which will begin in early October, so if you're considering pre-ordering you may want to take advantage of that.

Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare comes with a free PSVR experience
VR is taking off this year with several major companies such as Oculus and Sony launching their VR headsets in 2016. Call of Duty plans to take advantage of the technology by including a free PSVR experience in every PS4 copy of Infinite Warfare. The PSVR experience will allow players to take control of the new futuristic jet in Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare labeled 'The Jackal'. The vehicle can be controlled at many different points throughout the game's campaign and is completely off-rails, allowing players full control. The vehicle can fly across planets at high speeds and also go directly into space whenever the player decides. The Jackal can be used as a mode of transportation but a weapon, you will have to use The Jackal to fight off other aircrafts in adrenaline filled dogfights. Of course, PSVR is required for this function so only a small number of people will be able to play this at launch but if you ever do acquire a headset you can play the dogfighting experience whenever you want. Please note that The Jackal can be used without PSVR, the experience is just an added functionality for PSVR owners.
