Well I wasn't expecting this. Yes, it's a wartime FPS, in card form! Usually the realm of wizards and goblins, the Call of Duty real-time card game brings guns and Russian terrorists to the world of card-based dueling.
The premise for the game is fast-paced play, in which there are no turns taken and everything happens in real-time. Game creator Upper Deck claims it is perfect for fans of the series, and states that it is closer to a first-person shooter than an actual card game. Upper Deck is keen to promote the speed and strategy that is supposed to set this apart from more traditional games.
The thing is, this actually sounds like a pretty interesting idea, as weird as it may be. Recreating an FPS in card form is strange enough to hook me, so I am going to keep an eye on this one as it approaches its Fall 2008 release, and who knows? Maybe we'll even review it.

Well... I already do that with my friend (and alcohol) so... do I really need to pay money for this?
So it's neither a FPS or 'an actual card game'??? o_O?
...sounds fun... :P as in not any...at all.
though i'll tolerate it so long as it doesnt turn into a kids tv show like 99% of CCG's out there that are popular.
You should all be ashamed.
I got nothin'....
I might check it out though. It'll go well with all my other CCG decks, Dragon Dice bag, miniatures that I have no one to play with.

I was going to make a blog post about this, but the card game is just a really, really stupid idea. Wake me up when The Great Depression gets its own card game.

Go... INFLATE THE MONEY SUPLLY! I reduce your buying power to further and further weaken your resistance to the over-extension of credit!
There is one great depression card game I know of, and at least two board games. Your joke just lost it's impact.
+1 spit with guns sounds good, but I'm just not getting involved with another CCG. Spending a small fortune on the cards is bad enough, but convincing other people to do the same is near impossible for me.
