Call Of Duty WWII Days of Summer Event Starts Now

Call Of Duty WWII Days of Summer Event Starts Now

I literally just wrote a blog post yesterday theorizing if the folks at Sledgehammer Games would give us another Call Of Duty event before Black Ops IIII dropped. I was worried that Activision would want all eyes on Black Ops IIII, but that is not the case as we have a summer event and best of all you can play it now.

Call Of Duty WWII Days of Summer is live as you read this. Like past events, it is going to last 30 days. Now rather than telling you what this event is all about I want to focus on how weird the rollout of this event it.

As I said it is lasting for 30 days and the big thing about this event is a new summer-themed map that is called Sandbox. What is weird is that Sandbox is exclusive to PlayStation for 30 days, but that is how long the event lasts. I am really hopeful that this is a mistake and that it is live for Xbox and PC as well or that really is not fair and I fail to see what having an exclusive map this late in the game achieves for Sony, Activision or Sledgehammer Games.

Sandbox is really awesome as not only is the map summer themed the characters have been altered so that they look like those little green army men. You know the ones that were in a million games in the 90’s and early 00’s, the ones from Toy Story, the ones that your dad would go mad at you for when he stood on them with his bare feet!

I really like the idea the Call Of Duty WWII Days Of Summer event and playing as little green army men is cool, but I just wish they communicated better as to what the deal with this 30-day exclusivity is.

Black Ops 4 Beta Trailer Teases Blackout Mode

Black Ops 4 Beta Trailer Teases Blackout Mode

Activision and Treyarch have released a trailer for the upcoming multiplayer beta for Call Of Duty Black Ops 4. The trailer is pretty interesting in that it shows off the maps, modes, specialists that we can play as during the beta and that is great. Actually, the trailer is very well done and got me pumped up for the beta that is taking place first on PlayStation 4 on the 3rd of August.

While that is great if you stated until the very end of the Call Of Duty Black Ops 4 multiplayer trailer then you were treated to a sneak peek of Blackout mode. Sneak peek is the right word as it is only a few seconds. But we see armored vehicles, a helicopter and all kinds of balls to the wall action happening! It looks fantastic and while it may not be “gameplay” footage it still showcases just how nuts and fun Blackout mode in Call Of Duty Black Ops 4 is going to be.

I think this is a very fun way to tease Blackout mode and in a way, it reminds me of a Marvel movie where the tease what is coming next, but you have to stay all the way until the end to see it. I wonder how many people missed this Blackout teaser because they stopped the video once they thought the trailer was over and it was just advertising the game?

As I said the Call Of Duty Black Ops 4 beta is coming first to PlayStation 4. However, the really exciting news is that next month we will get the chance to test out Blackout mode! I have to be honest and say while I am excited to take part in this beta. Part of me wants to not bother and wait until the game is actually released……. Unfortunately, I am very weak willed so I will be waiting for the instant it goes live to play it!
