I’m not one for calculating classes and shit in World of Warcraft and now Diablo 3. I let the smarter people tabulate them, and the I humbly ask them to tell me what I should use. So smarter people! You can now get on it.

Infinity Ward vs. Activision Finally Gets A Court Date.
The ongoing legal spat between Infinity Ward founders Jason West and Vincent Zampella and Activision has finally gotten itself a court date. Thank goodness! After all the posturing and hair-pulling, I was beginning to think it would never get locked in endless litigation or whatever goes on in there them courtrooms.
Call of Duty Elite ‘Premium’ To Cost $50 Yearly, Contain Things. Thoughts?
So yesterday I was running around like an asshole doing stuff for the forthcoming semester when Call of Activision unveiled their Premium Call of Fragging Elite service whatever. Finally. In the flesh. It contains a bunch of stuff. Hit the jump for specifics.
Leave your thoughts.
Modern Warfare 3 ‘Hardened Edition’ To Include Year-long Elite Membership. Hmm.
The details for Modern Warfare 3’s ‘Hardened Edition’ have leaked, and for $80 you can snag yourself a long list of bullshit. Something that may make it worth purchasing for me however is the year-long subscription to Call of Duty: Elite.
Kanye West and Dropkick Murphys Playing ‘Call of Duty’ Convention. Douche Conglomerate.
While I love Call of Duty, it is a scientific fact that the majority of people you meet online playing it are probably rotting choads. It makes sense then that Activision is gathering their own armada of musician choads to play the Call of Duty XP: Give Us More Money Experience convention.
Kanye West. Dropkick Murphys.
Woof.
Mass Effect 3 Developer Says Games Would Benefit From More Diversity. Duh.
Ree
In a recent interview, Mass Effect 3 senior designer Manveer Heir opened up about his want for more diversity in the gaming world. Wait, I thought all protagonists were chosen by God to be White Males? Someone clearly hasn’t told Heir this.
Diablo 3 Will Have Real Money Player-To-Player Auctions.
Citing the fact that there are still third-parties selling Diablo 2 items for cash, Blizzard has revealed that they’re going to cut the middle man and let players buy items off one another in auction houses in D3. For real hard cheddar. It was announced at a press gathering last week, and Vice President of Game Design Rob Pardo took a good amount of time to defend the decision.
ModernWarfare3.com Redirects To Official Battlefield 3 Website. Amazing.
Activision and EA are going at one another big this winter. Battlefield 3 is getting released around the same time as Modern Warfare 3, in a direct challenge of CoD’s sales dominance. Some interesting side-battle cropped up this week. You see, ModernWarfare3.com now redirects the surfer to the official Battlefield 3 website.
Corporate slap fight!
‘Modern Warfare 3’ To Have Color-Blind Assist Option. This Helps Me. Srsly.
I’m color-blind. Not in that retarded “I see in black and white” sort of thing I sometimes get. Not that. However, I can’t tell a lot of colors apart. Greens from browns, browns from reds, that sort of bullshit. So quite often, I have a very difficult time trying to figure out who I should be shooting in games like ‘Modern Warfare’. It appears Sledgehammer Games has revealed there will be help for people like me in Modern Warfare 3.
More ‘Call of Duty Elite’ Details, This Service Is The Future. Better Or Worse.
The premium Call of Duty service is official, after rumor and cloaks and daggers. Its confirmation signals much consternation from a lot of fans, myself included. Whatever the grousing this much is true: Call of Duty Elite is the future. The culmination of a slow gaming galactic boil that has finally gone supernova, and its coming to gobble us up. Gobble! Gobble gobble!
With new details coming out, again, it is clear. Call of Duty Elite is the future. For better or worse.
