Impressions: Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 Campaign - Switch 2 Does Its Best With One Hell Of A 'Popcorn Game'
Chutes too narrow? Nearly 13 years since Nintendo gamers last had the chance to answer the Call of Duty (2013's Ghosts on Wii U, RIP), Activision has finally redeployed this storied series on Nintendo platforms. Given the technical gulf between Switch 2 and competition, not to mention PC, the cynical among us might have read Microsoft's agreement to bring the series to a Nintendo console day-and-date with other platforms and expected a compromised, box-ticking Switch port.

In another unprecedented move, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 is changing double XP tokens so they count down in match and not real-time
Just days after announcing a silly skin off toggle for Call of Duty: Warzone, Activision has returned to share some even better news for Modern Warfare 4. At launch and beyond, double XP tokens will count down only when you're actively in a match, not in real-world time.
Double XP Tokens Finally Work How You'd Think They Would in Modern Warfare 4
Tied to in-game time, not real time. If you activated a double XP token, you'd assume it would only be active when you can actually earn XP, right? That has not been the case in the Call of Duty series for all of time, as the franchise allows the token's XP timer to keep on counting down to zero even when you're not in matches, like in a lobby. Essentially, you'll activate a double XP token for 30 minutes, and maybe a third of that time will be spent simply waiting for the game to transition fro
