Some gamers have a mixed impression of the Call of Duty series, mainly because the original was supported through Infinity Ward and focused on some very impressive mechanics, that lasted in gaming and benchmarking as quite a standard, for a good deal of time the WW2 genre was huge for gaming. As time passed and games like BF2 entered, things moved on. In that Infinity Ward moved on as well, passing the duty of 3 to the hands of another developer and going into long term development of what is now Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.

The playtest we're currently participating in was provided by Infinity Ward earlier this week, the demo of course taking place on the Xbox 360.

From this point we're looking at the MP gaming experience which has been hit and miss for the series. We're also checking out how far the game has evolved since COD2.

The primary content right now rests in video clips, we're going to be shoving a lot more content out in this form to help get the experience down since really in a game like this it's all about the experience. The screens can be tricky to judge from. I will note that for anyone getting in on the beta, ATI's PVR and live play don't go well.
