Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 was finally revealed last week to the surprise of absolutely no one. Black Ops has arguably become the most popular sub-franchise within the Call of Duty series so to see another sequel that continues that story isn't shocking in the slightest. There was one noticeable difference when it comes to Call of Duty this year: the release date.

Remember when Horizon Zero Dawn and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild released in the same week last year? Despite Horizon being a phenomenal game-- some would say the best of last year -- Breath of the Wild still ended up dominating the conversation in the casual and broader gaming scene. I imagine that Red Dead Redemption 2 will end up being one of those conversation-dominating titles as well, which means it's likely better for Activision to just stay out of its way after release.


This next item is a bit curious, as its origins are unknown. Travel west along the southern path leading away from the Van Horne Trading Post and begin traveling north when you reach a fork in the r


Challenges in Red Dead Redemption II are utterly nightmarish. Not only are there 90 of them now, they require such accurate precision to pull off that you’ll actively need to go out of your way for hours on end to complete them. This is to say nothing of the Gambling challenges which require actual RNG to win in the later entr


Incredibly early into the gang, Arthur reveals that John had left the gang for an entire year prior to the start of Chapter 1. This abandonment clearly created some wedge between Arthur and John with the two butting heads early on. Oddly, though, Arthur more or less gets over it by Chapter 2 as he never actually reflects on


You get hold of a horse brush pretty early on in the game, and it's a little bit dual-purpose. Throughout your travels, your horse is going to get pretty dirty (just like you). The dirtier your horse, the quicker the horse's cores are going to drain. Brushing your horse cleans it, as does running it through a body of water. The brush also gains you some kudos from your horse, who deeply appreciates being brus


This next map is a bit difficult to find, since it happens on a chance encounter. Most notably found lurking at the top of a large rock to the northeast of Riggs Station, an older treasure hunter will hold the first map in the hunt; however, he is not willing to give up the map or sell it, so you’ll have to either rob him, tie him up, knock him down and make him drop the map so you can get it, or just end him permanently.

For most gamers, the thrill of jumping head first into any game is the action and story. Whether you're heading into a massive online multiplayer session of Call of Duty or following the galactic struggle to defeat an ancient enemy in Mass Effect , the games are known to draw players in with these two elements. Yet, there are some dedicated gamers who look at games far past the action and story elements. They look to discover every secret, object, or easter egg the developers of a game left behind for their fans to find. Rockstar Studios is no different in this regard, as they have left a plethora of items to find in their smash hit Red Dead Redemption

I want to be clear after saying all of this that by no means do I think Black Ops 4 would sell poorly if it did release in November. For Activision though, this is all about maximization of profits. Even if Red Dead Redemption 2's release didn't have as big of an effect as I'm pretending it would, it's obvious that an effect would still be had. Activision knows this, too, and that's why they've pushed Call of Duty into an October window for the first time in 13 years.
