According to one of PEGI's ratings, Call of Duty is heading to Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network in the near future. The game is rated 16+, but outside of that, we have little to go on.
Whether or not this is the original Call of Duty or a brand new one designed for digital download is unclear, but our money is on the former. A reissued Call of Duty is bound to be easy money, and Activision loves itself some of that stuff.
Would you buy the original Call of Duty for your 360 or PS3? I never really cared about the series until Infinity Ward came up with Modern Warfare, but I might be interested in digging up the series' roots. While you mull this over, do make sure to check out the news about Modern Warfare 2, which we ran last night.

I still have a copy of the first CoD for PC lying around somewhere so it's a no thanks methinks.
It has vehicles.
I fear that the intensity that made this game so great would be somewhat lost on today's generation who have been exposed to WWII shooters and intense firefights that, while built on the back of this game, far surpass it.
You are completely right, I loved the first CoD, but compared to shooters today, I guess it would be slightly less intense.
By the way, the last level was awesome.
If you haven't played this game yet but consider yourself a COD fan, then you're kidding yourself and I don't know why you haven't already have gotten this. It runs on any PC nowadays and online's still going strong. The console version may be good but I would say get it for PC since the higher difficulties REQUIRE you to have twitch reflexes and extreme accuracy. Also the few hits and you're dead mantra still holds, except there's no recharging health, and while you get health off of corpses in multi, on veteran, there are no healthpacks.
I love the game's SP, had some of my favorite SP moments from all the CoD games.
