Interesting details on this year's installment.

'Call Of Duty: Infinite Warfare'

Lat week, Infinity Ward—developers of "Call of Duty," "Call of Duty 2," the wildly popular "Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare," "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2," "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3" and "Call of Duty: Ghosts"—released a trailer for their next project on the official "Call of Duty" YouTube page. The next installation in the series will be called "Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare." For fans of the series, there are a few things in the trailer that are worth a closer look. Some things in this article have been announced by the developers themselves in an interview.

You are not a recruit. In many of the "call of Duty" games, players start out as the new guy on the field. Though this is an obvious go-to move, putting players through a basic training simulator, it's been done enough times in the series that most players are ready for button prompts. In an interview with PlayStation, Taylor Kurosaki of Infinity Ward spoke on the game's protagonist, "what we tried to do that's a little bit different is, again we talked about the theme of leadership. Lt. [Nick] Reyes is a squad commander. He is a tier one special operations operative who has a squad of operatives under his wing. They are pilots, they are commandos kind of all-in-one. And he goes, throughout the events of our story, he goes from being this squad leader to being a ship's commander."

Robots? It might be that a mech suit like the one from "Advanced Warfare" is in the game. But some frames in the trailer show very clearly that there will be robots in "Infinite Warfare." Whether it's the former, the latter, or both, players will definitely have to fight against at least one robot as a very short section of the trailer showed it grabbing and attacking the player.

Grapple shots, making their first appearance in "Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare," are back for this installment. The difference, however, seems to be in the perniciousness of it. in multiplayer, it could be used as a one-shot-kill attack. In the trailer for "Infinite Warfare," the grapple shot can be seen pulling an enemy closer before a lethal melee attack is used to finish them off.

Another cool weapon Jacob Minkoff of Infinity Ward touched on in an interview was the Seeker Grenade. According to him this Seeker Grenade, "is this like spider bot that runs out and [chases] down enemies." It is a cool sounding weapon, but whether or not it feels like it belongs in the "Call of Duty" series is yet to be seen.

With the new "Call of Duty," Infinity Ward will be introducing a seamless game play experience. According Minkoff, players will be able to be engaged in a firefight, call their personal Jackal space craft, take off into space, engage in a dogfight (yes, flying a ship is going to be a thing, too!), dock on the flight deck of the Retribution mother ship, walk to the control room and select the next mission they want to complete without a single loading screen.

This will also integrate the new zero G mechanic. Gunfights will utilize both the standard "boots on the ground" gunfights we know from previous titles and zero gravity gunfights as well. Reyes will have the ability to exit his Jackal while in space, have a gunfight on the hull of an enemy ship, breach the ship and transition to a standard gunfight while inside. So theoretically, a player could see quite a bit of zero G combat.

There is a ton more to uncover in the trailer and interviews if this is a game you're excited about. I just picked out the bits that are more interesting. With E3 around the corner, we can expect a steady stream of information for us to wet our collective whistle with. But, until we get word on a beta, the videos will have to quench our thirst for the next "Call of Duty."

Are you excited for another COD? Let me know why or why not in the comments, or on my Twitter or Facebook page!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
