The Future of Call of Duty May Very Well Be Micro-transactions
Today Call of Duty players in the Western Hemisphere got a true taste of the future of the best selling video game series in history. Today Activision announced the implementation of micro-transaction in the annual Call of Duty franchise. Presently you will be able to utilize real money to upgrade your multiplayer character’s appearance in cosmetics ways, as of now. Although this is not the first time a Call of Duty title has included micro-transactions, but it is indeed the first time it has been included in a $60 title outside of China.

Call of Duty: Black Ops Declassified Vita Bundle Announced
Call of Duty: Black Ops Declassified getting the bundle treatment
Call of Duty: Black Ops Declassified will be included in a special PlayStation Vita bundle,Sony Europe president Jim Ryan revealed at Sony’s Gamescom press conference. The bundle will include a Vita, a copy of Call of Duty: Black Ops Declassified and a pouch. Presumably the bundle will launch alongside Declassified this November. The price was not announced.
Declassified will take place between Call of Duty: Black Ops and the upcoming Black Ops 2. It will feature singe-player content as well as 4-on-4 multiplayer, featuring maps built specifically for Vita and familiar modes like Team Deathmatch and Kill Confirmed.
Call of Duty: Black Ops Declassified Details
Details on the new Call of Duty game for the Vita
Amazon and Walmart have posted details on both their sites for the New Call of Duty game on the PS Vita.
First off the description of the game. “Before the future could be won, history had to be written. Exposing that story exclusively on PlayStation Vita, Call of Duty: Black Ops Declassified explores original fiction in the Call of Duty Black Ops universe with an all-new campaign of Special Ops missions. Optimized for gamers on-the-go, Call of Duty Black Ops: Declassified delivers the most intense handheld Call of Duty experience to date, including both Special Ops Story mode and Multiplayer combat tailored for the PS Vita.”
Second both sites have the game priced at $49.96. Which will make it one of the more expensive games on the Vita. Both sites also have it slated for a December 31, 2012 release which is probably just a place holder. Activision is set to publish it which is obvious but no news on who the developer is for the game.
The game does sound interesting and the Vita does need a good first person shooter on it. What do you think? Will this be any good? Let us know in the comments.
Call of Duty: “Insert Subtitle Here”
Call of Duty Needs Some Innovation
Following their record setting release of Modern Warfare 3, Activision intends on keeping their annual release trend going. The day of MW3’s release Activision CEO Bobby Kotick announced that a new Call of Duty was being developed for a 2012 release. On the release of their fourth quarter earnings earlier this month the next installment was confirmed.
After Sledgehammer Games was pulled from development of their ill-fated 3rd person COD game and put on MW3, there is some buzz that they may be working on a new title (my bet is on “Call of Duty 2013). Regardless, it is clear that 2012 will see another COD, I believe this will be number 9 for the franchise, and Treyarch will more than likely be manning the operation.
Activision Secretly Making Black Ops 2?
While its still a rumor its looking more and more like Activision is in fact working on Call of Duty:Black Ops 2 for a probable Fall 2012 release. Earlier today Activision purchased the domain name blackops2.com and the site has since switched from Domains by Proxy over to the secure service of MarkMonitor, an internet brand protection company used by Activision. While nothing is set in stone yet it seems more likely now that fans of the Call of Duty franchise will see another sequel coming their way soon.
