Total Call of Duty

McFarlane Toys has announced that they will be creating action figures based on characters from Call of Duty: World at War. Take a look:

McFarlane Toys announces a partnership with Activision to produce action figures for the upcoming video game, Call of Duty®: World at War. The line is expected to hit store shelves in fall 2008, and retail for around $10- $15.

Developed by Treyarch and built using the Call of Duty® 4: Modern Warfare™ engine, Call of Duty: World at War thrusts players into the chaos of WWII combat, challenging them to band together to survive the climactic battles of the South Pacific and European theaters that led to the demise of the Axis powers. Re-defining WWII by offering an uncensored experience with unique enemies and combat tactics, Call of Duty: World at War offers cooperative gameplay, a franchise first which enables players to fight together like never before.

McFarlane Toys' first series of highly detailed, game-accurate Call of Duty: World at War action figures will consist of four soldiers:

• MARINE CORPS WITH FLAMETHROWER, Battle of Peleliu - Includes M2-2 flamethrower with removable flame, and M1911A1 pistol & holster
• MARINE INFANTRY, Battle of Peleliu - Includes M1 Garand rifle and M1 bayonet
• MARINE CORPS WITH MACHINE GUN, Battle of Okinawa - Includes M-1928A1 machine gun w/20 round magazine and M1911A1 pistol & holster
• BRITISH SPECIAL OPS, Battle for the Roer Triangle - Includes Mark II Sten gun

Expect to see series one of these figures released this November. To learn more be sure to visit here.

Infinity Ward community manager 402 has said that Call of Duty 4 will not be patched with dualshock or trophy support for the Playstation 3. Check it out:

Hey Everyone -

With the latest Playstation 3 firmware now available, I see a lot of questions regarding how it effects Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.

At this time, we have no plans to patch in Trophy support for Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare for the PS3. Much like DualShock rumble addition to the PS3, the support for these new features have come much to late for us to add it to Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare due to our current production schedule.

We would have loved to have these in the game at launch if the support was available, or shortly after.

Read the whole statement from 402 here.
