It’s Halloween on Monday! One of my favourite things about the community we have here on PlayStation.Blog is that you’re such an international bunch. I can see from the little flags next to your comments that we have folks from all over Europe, a few gamers from the USA and Canada, and even the the occasional Indian and Brazilian popping on to see what’s up. I can tell you from our web data that there’s barely a patch of Earth on the globe that isn’t reading this – cool, huh? Back to the point at hand, I’d be interested to hear how you celebrate Halloween in your neck of the planet, if at all?
Back to business, I’d like to send my congratulations to the guys over Official PlayStation Magazine UK for launching their website http://www.officialplaystationmagazine.co.uk/. From now on, I’ll be included their best stories of the week in this recap, and I’ll be adding links to their reviews in the PlayStation Conversation (soon to be renamed) box on the right-hand side of the blog.

So does that mean cod 4 will be fixed after all these years???? I think not. Activision left the game to rott. they will only care about mw3 till mw4 comes out then that will be left to the dogs to rip apart too. Why would they care about a old game they no longer make money from

James, will Uncharted 3 be released on PSN next week?
I’d love to have in digitally on my PS3, but I don’t want to wait if it’s not coming to the store soon.

PS4 needs to come out ps3 has been made a fool and games developers don`t know how to make a game with out porting it over and then something never goes write and every game i play on has problems with it that has been ported over to PS3.

What is Sony doing to stop all the hacker and the custom firmware because in MW2 you end up playing with them and then they advertise where you can download the patch there using while in game it comes up to do all this modding there doing cod sever should not allow this if you look at steam sever they have security called VAC that will banded your IP if you cheat.
why is steam sever free and better im thinking of taking the internet away from my ps3 and just play offline like on the good old ps2.
PSN is be coming a joke even on black ops they have mod menu and jump 100 feet in the air and normal ps3 user are defenseless its not like pc where you stand a chance to fight back and stop them all you can do is watch.

got B3 on fri and, unlike most i began by playing the campaign, anyway in mission2, just after you snipe the 2 rpg guys i decided to follow some enemy down a alley, so the clock comes up return to squad/action etc starts counting down from 10 is it,? but no sooner had i turned to go back to squad it ‘mission failed’ me, Now tbh i Hate games that tell you to ‘return’ to area etc but, so begun from checkpoint again cleared the area and i’m in middle of squad, moving up etc, then from nowhere a supposedly dead enemy springs back to life, passes a squad mate and insta-kills me. with a slap.. swear there was no knife in his hand, but besides that i meleed him before he should of got me, well i just thought, great as this campaign/sp looks i’m not putting up with this.. glitch,? or worse some crap kind of ‘lesson’ in war off dice, ie stay aware etc, yeah maybe if the death part wasn’t part of it.. ie he ignored my melee. anyone know the part i mean,?.

Posted on 30 October, 2011 at 2:56 pm by chrisandsheva
Also concerning B3, anyone who’s on the fence over it and is looking to get skyrim on 11th nov, you’s may as well grab it (B3) as game has a trade B3 and pay only £4.99 for skyrim.. on until 17th nov, so i heard you can get b3 from as little as £33,? but anyway you get to play b3, keep the online pass/back to karkand dlc,? and just pick skyrim up when it’s out, but i will have to find out if games other offer stays in place, the guidebook for half price if you pre-order (skyrim) from them, as though i never buy them i reckon a official guide will help out a great deal in this one, Just another bit of useless info i thought i’d share with everyone,.

Activision will fix MW1 MW2 and COD W@W as thats all they will have to work on Call of Duty Elite are taking over Call of Duty Black Ops & Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 servers
Call of Duty titles no other shooting game can compete against them.

At the moment Call of Duty Elite have given me EL73 Elite account for Call of Duty Black Ops & Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 when i play Call of Duty Black Ops or Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 if i think your stats are hacked or i finded any person hacking or boosting there game play one button report then straight away there banished from Call of Duty severs Call of Duty Elite gave me this power to promote fair play to all Call of Duty players including myself. Thanks Call of Duty Elite making me an administrator to your service.

Thats rubbish and you know it Mr. Wolf.
Hackers are banned permanently anyway, having The Elite pack makes no more a difference than not having it.
Gamers shouldn’t have to buy a game for £40 and then dish out another £35 for a clean online service that should already come complete with the original package. I can’t believe how people like you never feel “Mugged Off” coz that’s how i’d feel if i was you.
and yes i know you get all map packs DLC blah blah blah.
And further more, most games require an online pass purchase now. I thought FREE online gaming was one of the PS3′s Primary selling points. Not now.

@ those talking about cheats/hacks on cod or other games, i dont understand why sony havent yet given a security download for our consoles! any attempt made to customize with personal software would render the whole console useless, its not rocket science. i for one will not buy new cod games as these are highly attractable to stupid kids who like hacking so its a waste of my money to get a game that will be ruined in few weeks. i really do think this security software should be developed as i will not be getting ps4 that is supposedly going to do everything this time but will still be vulnerable to threats.

Everything you wrote is completely WRONG Call of Duty Elite is Free Service
the Call of Duty Elite subscription package gives you all DLC maps now plus more on MW3 and cheaper than buying it separate.

Posted on 31 October, 2011 at 5:32 am by Immortal-Wolf-
In future Call of Duty games it will advance to playstation 4 where Call of Duty will become a MMO game then Call of Duty multiplayer MMO will be a monthly subscription payment on playstation 4 reason for this is Call of Duty is so high in demand that there will be to many people on its servers SONY playstation already know how high demand some games are but some games that was suppose to be on PS3 MMO couldn’t make the subscription possible like FF 14 online PS3 couldn’t be possible with PS3 functions reason DC universe becoming free in november as there are low players on its servers PS3 functions can’t handle MMO games SONY playstation already know this.

Hope you all had a great weekend!
@ judgehusler Post 43
Totally agree fella, that’s why I gave up on MW2 as it was truly awful imo!
Black Ops was great & W@W still remains the greatest COD game for me
I’m torn with a decision. Do I purchase Uncharted 3 tomorrow then trade it for MW3 next week, as I wasn’t much for the multiplayer anyway? Do I not bother with any, & purchase a PSN voucher ready for the Christmas SALE & also download Crysis?
Loving BF3 by the way. I’m glad they included the Texture pack otherwise the game would have looked awful! I won’t go into the Pros & Cons just make up your own mind but for me it’s the greatest Battlefield release to date
Take Care!
