Infinity Ward update fixes CoD 4k issues

While Call of Duty Ghosts has sold incredibly well, its launch has been anything pain free. There was the whole resolution-gate scandal on the next-gen systems, struggling to break contemporary resolutions at a decent frame rate and then there was the fact that reviewers felt the developers had just gone through the motions with a lot of it. It's the FIFA of FPS games, we all knew that already, but this year seems somewhat tired compared to the last few. Problems persisted on the PC release too, with the unnecessary 6GB RAM lock and the fact that 4K resolutions weren't supported. At least that latter problem should now be fixed though, as IW has released a patch that's purporting to clear it right up.

The RAM lock out issue was one of the bigger ones with Ghosts, which is why IW led with that in announcing the upcoming patch. Now it's live, most of the big issues seem to have been covered.

KitGuru Games: Omni-movement culminates 30 years of FPS innovation

Black Ops 6 is officially here, bringing the innovative new Omni-movement system to the game. While on the surface a relatively simple change, I argue that Treyarch intimately studied DOOM and the past 30 years of first-person shooter evolution to craft one of the most satisfying gameplay systems yet.
