EA’s Battlefield and Activision’s Call of Duty franchises are set to go head-to-head once again with the release on Battlefield 4 on October 29th, and Call of Duty: Ghosts on November 5th.

We’ve seen a campaign trailer for Ghosts already, which appears to be attempting to offer a much better story than previous games (supported by their decision to bring in Oscar-winning Traffic screenwriter Steven Gaghan to work on the game). And now comes a story trailer for Battlefield 4, which also looks to be upping the story quality.

You can check out the new trailer below.

A brand new gameplay demo has been released for the much anticipated Battlefield 4, the next chapter in developer DICE’s ultra popular first-person military shooter franchise.

Fans of Battlefield 3 will be excited to see the new gameplay demo, as it runs a hefty 17 minutes in length. Plenty of time to see what the next game will look like.

Today marks a sad day around the universe for Doctor Who fans. Long-time cast member Nicholas Courtney has passed away at the age of 81. Courtney portrayed the famous Brigadier Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart, otherwise referred to as the Brigadier, alongside eight of the eleven Doctors. His first role as Lethbridge-Stewart was in The Web of Fear opposite Patrick Troughton‘s Second Doctor, and his final role in the Doctor Who universe was along with Elisabeth Sladen in a 2008 episode of The Sarah Jane Adventures entitled Enemy of the Bane.

Aside from Doctor Who, Courtney has made his mark in other television series over the years, including Escape, The Avengers, All Creatures Great and Small, and Yes Prime Minister. Despite his acting in other shows, he is forever known as the Brigadier, an aspect of his career Courtney was openly proud of.
