Segatron Genesis... call me the wizard.
Even without all of the perks, ranks, prestige ranks and zombified Nazis, the original Call of Duty still holds up as one of the most compelling shooters we've ever played. Activision is apparently hoping that the gaming community still holds a special place in their collective hearts for the best-selling 2003 title -- according to a PEGI (a European game ratings board) rating, the original Call of Duty is on its way to PSN and Xbox Live. Oh, and also, it apparently contains blood and violence.

Somewhat confirming that the PEGI rating wasn't just a cruel joke being played by sinister European masterminds, the ESRB has updated its rating for the PC version of Call of Duty to include Xbox 360 and PS3 tags. We've contacted Activision for further details -- we'll let you know whether you'll be busting out those old beach-stormin' shoes sometime soon.


I wonder, will this just be an achievement/trophy edition or just a direct port from Xbox/PS2?
 
Re: Call of Duty 1 coming to PSN and XBLA!

Update:

The game has been retitled, it's not a port of the PS2/XBox game. It's a revamp of the PC edition with online multiplayer as well!

It's common knowledge that those who pick up Modern Warfare 2's Hardened Edition or Prestige Edition will receive Call of Duty: Classic, the game that started it all. Then there's the option of making your own, but what if you're one of the 14 people who just want Call of Duty: Classic? Well, according to Infinity Ward's Robert Bowling (via IGN), you may have to wait a while.

"Prestige and Hardened Edition buyers will be getting access to Call of Duty: Classic first. It'll eventually be coming out for both Xbox Live Arcade and PSN as a stand-alone arcade game," he said. Bowling also confirmed that this is the full edition of the original game, including multiplayer. Activision has made no mention of what the classic will be priced at, though considering the $80 price of admission for the Hardened Edition, we're assuming the game will run you around $20. Will it be more as a standalone?

Call of Duty Classic

So you lucky ducks out there who pre-ordered the Prestige or Hardened Edition of COD MW2 will get super early access to this revamped classic!
 
Hey heads up, this game has achievements and trophies too! :D

XBLA Shown, but I'm assuming the same for PS3 users.

I bet you guys forgot about the Anniversary edition of COD1, right?
