Although it’s not much, the first Call of Duty 8 details have been revealed by developers Sledgehammer Games. Studio co-founder Glen Schofield reported via Twitter that the next Call of Duty game will feature situations encountered by real military soldiers – or at least inspired by them.
09.01.10 BlackOps BIG Reveal!

It was revealed at the end of the multiplayer teaser trailer for Call of Duty: Black Ops that there would be a full reveal of the multiplayer component of the game on September 1st. Josh Olin, Treyarch community manager, has now teased some more details about that reveal via his Twitter page.
@homiciderabbit September 1st will be a HUGE deep-dive reveal of #CODBlackOps MP. Not just a video of a few maps =).
The second half of the tweet is presumably a reference to Modern Warfare 2′s own multiplayer reveal event. Three maps were shown off and a whole host of weapons, perks and killstreaks revealed, but it appears that Treyarch have promised to top this.

Engine overhaul means everyone’s happy
After the Battlefield 3 “announcement” last week indicated the game would be going multiplatform, many PC gamers were outraged, worrying the series’ next flagship title would be tarnished for the sake of console players.
While EA wasn’t willing to comment on the state of the PC version, we were able to dig up some info which should put your mind at ease — scratch that, make it very excited.
Firstly, we learn via Twitter from DICE rendering architect Johann Andersson the engine BF3 is built on — Frostbite 2.0 — is “primarily developed for DirectX 11″; XP and DX9 won’t be supported (though you may be able to hack it). Also the engine will be especially optmized for 64-bit — thankfully a lot of you have chosen the road less travelled. Good news in itself, but since consoles only support DX9, the implication is the PC version will be a “true” PC game.
