Call of Duty has been a staple of FPS gaming for years, but the recent release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is bringing the franchise back to its competitive roots. Competitive Call of Duty players have a lot to look forward to, with the first season of the Call of Duty League set to start January 24th, hosting 12 top teams in Minneapolis.

There’s plenty of Call of Duty accessories out there to take your gaming experience to the next level, regardless of whether you’re playing on Xbox, PS4, or PC.
