Anyway, serious face, let's get started with the news, shall we?

Call of Duty News

 * Infinity Ward teased a Field Order based on the movie "Predator" for Call of Duty: Ghosts This is in no way, at all, an indication that the series has finally run out of ideas.
 * The Call of Duty eSports championships are currently taking place in LA!

Community News

 * Raise your hand if, shock of all shocks, you were expecting multiple War Room Forums to be awaiting discussion.
 * A discussion about changing the Wiki's Skin. This means changing the appearance of the Wiki, such as it's primary colors and background. All users are encouraged to participate in the discussion and make suggestions.
 * There's a forum about possibly having a Satire category for News Blogs. This would be an additional section to the already existing Game, Community, and Opinion sections.

 * A forum about the new Must Watch Video Wikia feature. I honestly haven't even seen the feature since this forum was created so I don't know why it's still open.
 * Forum about how to use Galleries and Images. I got no snarky comments for this one. It's pretty self-explanatory.

Opinion Time
As brought up in a recent News Blog, Crazy Sam10 suggested Call of Duty has jumped the Shark since Call of Duty: Ghosts began it's the DLC season. My opinion was as follows:

I think this kinda of wackiness is exactly what Call of Duty needs. Zombies was a big hit cause it was different, out there, and addictive. Extinction is going over well because it's a new way to play an old game and is wacky and fun. I've been extremely happy with the DLC because it shows Infinity Ward going outside they're comfort zone. Ghosts was much too much of a play ti safe sequel with a boring campaign, boring multiplayer maps, and a mode that honestly did feel like a knockoff of zombies. With the DLC, Infinity Ward has been adding actual personality and fun to their games.

Who cares if they jumped the shark? It just adds to the fun and has been downright awesome. Playing as Michael Myers, fighting Aliens in multiplayer, using a Wonder Weapon in multiplayer, all pretty awesome if you ask me. CoD moved away from being a "realistic" military shooter a long time ago. It's about time the devs start embracing that rather than pretending they still are one.

Feel free to discuss if you'd like.

Conclusion
Did you spot the hidden link? Trick question there is none, and per the usual, I will castrate anyone who adds one.

That's all for this week! Hope everyone has a great one! I know I will come friday!
