The wait is over as gamers get a glimpse of Activision's 2019 "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare." LOS ANGELES – We already knew that the next "Call of Duty" video game would reclaim the "Modern Warfare" brand. But the Activision-owned studio Infinity Ward revealed new details about the game here at the Electronic Entertainment Expo, showing some footage from the game and talking about its development. Set in the modern day, "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare," out Oct. 25 for PS4, Xbox One and PCs, will pit U.S. and allied troops, including freedom fighters, against an international threat. The game is not a sequel to the trilogy of releases from Infinity Ward that started with 2007's "Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare" and ended with "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3" in 2011.

There was a media frenzy when Amazon Go was announced in December 2016. A grocery store based initially in Seattle, it enables shoppers to literally just walk out with whatever items they choose thanks to sensors recording what they pick up and charging back to their Amazon Prime accounts. Facilitated by first swiping the Amazon app on your smartphone, it nods to the automated future of retail, but more than that the growing potential ahead for the phone to control the entire commerce experience. A wake-up call to retail execs around the world, the question on many people's lips is whether that concept is equally applicable to other verticals? From a value proposition, not to mention strategic business perspective, it's something that makes a great deal of sense for grocery, where both the barrier to entry and level of associated risk, is low.

These are the voyages of the starship Call of Duty. Its 14-year mission: to boldly blow up more stuff than any game has blown up before.

In a live Twitch session, held on Monday evening, the Infinity Ward narrative director, Taylor Kurosaki, and the design director, Jacob Minkoff, revealed some fresh information about the latest game in this billion-dollar series.
