Call of Duty’s current user-interface isn’t very user-friendly, with lots of scrolling needed for blocky menus that are often compared to the Hulu streaming app, but Activision is changing this before the launch of Black Ops 6.The publisher announced that a new interface is on the way, and the Call of Duty app will receive updates to the UI that will make navigation easier.

This page is set to feature Call of Duty’s most-recent annual feature as well as Warzone, with past titles still being accessible through the player’s game library.

The big twist, though, is that he will be returning not as Tony Stark, but as Victor von Doom, perhaps Marvel Comics’ single greatest villain. For a company who would rather reboot or memorialize a character than recast them, casting the same actor in two very prominent roles seems like a very strange move. And that’s why we think it’s possible that this is one big misdirect.. Robert Downey Jr. may be playing Victor von Doom, but what if he’s not playing the Victor von Doom.Of course, keep in mind that we don’t have any secret spies at Marvel Studios, a spe…
