With a new Call of Duty game coming out every year, the series appears to change significantly and remain the same. The furious gunplay players enjoy spiced up with new systems and weaponry, but the brand's foundation was unchanged for a long time. The Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare was released on November 5, 2007, 15 years ago, when the franchise finally found its footing. What specifically made this game unique? Let's examine this iconic first-person shooter game throughout the years to determine why it revolutionized competitive multiplayer games and first-person shooters.

Popularity

Many players are unaware that Call of Duty wasn't always the dominant first-person shooter. Before Call of Duty went viral, most gamers would fight it out in Halo or Unreal Tournament. When Modern Warfare was released, everything changed. Other games in the genre couldn't match the game's innovative multiplayer features for an engaging experience. At this point, it competed with other well-liked

Everyone seems to be surprised at the stunning success of the Nintendo Switch, as the console continues to sell like hotcakes even years after its initial release. At Evil Controllers we hear you, and we’re excited to let you know that we’re working on features for the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller.

The Pro Controller is a premium device on its own, as it feels nice in your hands and is much better than the JoyCon controllers that attach to your console. Using the Pro Controller for the likes of Smash is a no-brainer, but we’ve been feeling like it could use a little more…

We can’t give a bunch of details on just what the features will be available at this time, but we can give you some insight into just how our controller can up your game. Manual inputs for games will be much easier with our controllers, as you can expect some of our pro gaming features to transfer over to the Switch Pro Controller model, such as improved tension, tactile buttons, and more.

During this past weekend Call of Duty: Modern Warfare developers Infinity Ward held their latest beta test, allowing users to test out the hotly anticipated 2v2 mode.

The new mode is one of the most anticipated features of the upcoming game, which launches on October 25th across PS4, Xbox One, and PC. The mode favors quick play, but does require players to adjust their strategy a bit from the typical multiplayer modes.

One thing that we’re anticipating is a lot of fast action, which I’ve personally experienced during my play sessions. Even though there are still a few things to be ironed out, the game looks sharp and plays smoothly on PS4. Gunfight (the name of the new mode), is something else, and I’d say I felt more pressure and “in the moment” than I even did in Black Ops 4’s battle royale mode.

Of course, we’re anticipating the different mods that we’ll be able to set up for use with our Evil Controllers. We may be a bit biased, but I think that we have the best

The industry for pro controllers is growing at a tremendous pace, and it’s no surprise when you consider how fast esports is growing too. Many players are often confused about pro controllers and whilst they add new functionality over standard controllers they are not considered to be ‘modded’ controllers.

In this article, we explain why pro controllers are in fact not modded and why you can use pro controllers in tournaments or esports events.

On the surface, pro controllers come with a wide range of benefits - they have additional buttons, button re-mapping and the quality of the buttons, D-pad, joysticks, and triggers are often a lot higher than standard controllers.

There’s no denying that pro controllers offer better precision for skilled gamers, but they do not include any ‘mods’ or affect gameplay whatsoever.

On the other side of the fence, modded controllers have specific ‘mods’ that can be used to get an in-game edge over other players. These mods could

The first big Battlefield 1 update will be coming soon and as a result, all live servers will be temporarily taken offline whilst the patch is applied.

EA has nicknamed the upcoming patch as the fall update and it will come with a number of useful changes. EA and DICE have both remained quite open about the future features they plan to release to Battlefield 1, but so far we're not sure which of the planned features will make it into the fall update. We may see the introduction of hardcore and fog of war modes, and we may also see a number of overall optimizations and gameplay improvements.

Whilst the servers will be going down for a short time, DICE has mentioned that the servers shouldn't be down for long - they've even opted to pick less busy hours to keep the outage complaints at a minimum. The outage, if all goes to plan, should last for just an hour. The outage times may differ depending on which platform you're using, but as a general guide, take a look at the listed

We've finally received details about the final DLC release for Call of Duty Black Ops 3. The final DLC is named Salvation and it will be coming to PlayStation 4 on September 6. The Xbox One release should hit shortly after the PlayStation 4 release.

The Salvation DLC will include four new maps for multiplayer, other new content and a huge finale for the Zombies storyline that started in previous Black Ops games. The new zombies content for the Salvation DLC will reportedly tie up a cliffhanger from Zombies in Black Ops 2 as well.

The four new maps also sound quite interesting. Below we have some excerpts about the maps from Activision.

Citadel - Once home to a powerful medieval army, this ancient castle now sits broken and abandoned. Tight corners force close-quarters engagements, while the moat and drawbridge allows for unique player movement opportunities in this mid-sized map. The last trespassers didn't make it out alive - maybe you'll have a better

As you may know already, Sony is slowly gearing up to release the PS4 Slim as a new alternative to their current game console. As the name of the console suggests, the PS4 Slim will be a smaller, more lightweight version of the original PlayStation 4. This is a move that Sony has made plenty of times in the past with all of their consoles. In fact, Sony even released a PlayStation One slim, and have been doing so with their main game consoles ever since.

Because of this, it's no surprise that a PlayStation 4 Slim is on it's way. However, the surprising part is that a newly reworked DualShock 4 controller may be released alongside the PS4 Slim.

According to rumors, the new controller will have a change to the lightbar. The lightbar is used to signify each player for split-screen games. Each player is given a different color. Players can also change their own color for their profile so that players know that they are signed into their own account when playing on their own.

Gears of War Ultimate Edition will soon be getting a rather hefty 5GB patch that will be mandatory for all players. As you can imagine with a patch of this size, a lot of things will be changing and there will be a number of new improvements.

The first thing mentioned for the new patch are the number of playlist changes being made. For example, the Execution game mode will soon offer more XP for players. The Coalition made a few statements about the patch changes, including the increase in XP for Execution. "Execution is a mode that can be highly rewarding, but also extremely punishing. To better reward players who take on the challenge of Execution, we've increased the XP gain in the mode significantly."

The Boomshot will also be improved in the new patch - hit detection problems that occurred in the past should now be fixed. Some basic improvements to hit detection on downed enemies has also been improved and hit detection for players taking cover in Clocktower has also

If you've been following the development of Fallout 4 then you'll know that Bethesda has a lot of great plans for the game in the near future. Whilst Bethesda will be releasing their own additional content throughout the next year, Bethesda also want to open up new content potential via community mod support.

Not only will Fallout 4 receive mod support on the PC but for the first time mod support will also be coming to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. In the past we had no idea about when mod support will arrive for Fallout 4 but Bethesda has recently spoken up about their plans. Todd Howard at Bethesda recently revealed that the PC mod support should be released soon and the consoles should follow after everything has been shown to work smoothly on the PC.

Mod support should hopefully be launched between the first and second DLC packs for Fallout 4.

In an interview with GameInformer, Howard mentioned that their "Goal is between the first two DLCs. It'll go up at that time
