'Call of Duty: Ghosts' vs. 'Battlefield 4': A Lot to Expect with Next 'COD'; 'Second Assault' Rumoured Release Date; New Community Mission
The next "Call of Duty" game, which had been reported to be under Sledgehammer's development, is now getting a number of rumours. This comes after the franchise was decided to have a 3-year rotation among the studios handling the game.
For its 2014 production, insider information states that the game is already in development, as those who are involved with the game are already excited.
"Internally people are excited for it. It is supposedly a pretty big jump over ghosts graphically," DualShokers states, quoting insider Pete Dodd, who goes by the name of Famousmortimer.

While the graphics of "Ghosts" isn't top notch or even the best in games for the next-gen consoles, Sledgehammer may be aiming for similar graphics of games like "Beyond: Two Souls" or "Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag."
DICE Community Mission Revealed
The first DICE Community Mission, which was for the "Battlefield 4" community to nab 10,000,000 dog tags in 6 days, had been a success. In fact, DICE announced over at Battlefield.com that overall, there were 11,462,858 dog tags collected with melee attacks.
For those who participated in the DICE Community Mission, the Gold Battlepack will be made available on Feb 20.
*"Watch Dogs" for the Wii U will be coming a little later than the other platforms: Read more "Watch Dogs" news here.
The newest community mission has also been announced, where the community will need to destroy 50 million vehicles until Feb 19, 7 am PST/4 pm CET. The reward for this new mission is another Gold Battlepack, which will be handed out on Feb 27.
'Second Assault' Rumoured for a Feb 18 Release Date in Other Platforms
Those who have been playing "Battlefield 4" on the Xbox platform may have already settled to enjoy the "Second Assault" DLC sometime earlier compared to other platforms, thanks to Microsoft's exclusivity for the game.

However, those who are playing the PC of the game may actually look forward to a possible rumoured release date. According to VG 24/7, the latest rumour about "Battlefield 4: Second Assault" DLC has been leaked by Origin Germany, who has pegged a Feb 18 date for the PC edition of the game.
The screen capture in the link revealed the date, which may also hold true for the PS3 and PS4 versions of the DLC. Given that "Second Assault" has been announced for premium members 2 weeks before regular players get their copy, the release date for non-Premium gamers will likely fall somewhere during the first week of March.
In relation to the game, Metro has also spotted a new bug on "Battlefield 4" PS4 version, wherein the game supposedly keeps on loading until players reach a black screen despite hearing the game playing in the background.
So far, no fix has been revealed yet for this new bug, but hopefully, it will be addressed in time for the release of "Battlefield 4: Second Assault."
