Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is a monumental success. The decision to reboot the series seems like a wise one, as Modern Warfare has outsold most games in 2020, despite being launched last year where it also broke records. The trifecta of a fun multiplayer experience, a great campaign, and the eventually released Warzone battle royale is a solid formula. Part of what makes Modern Warfare great is the campaign, but the multiplayer is where the replayability lies....

Call of Duty: Warzone, and its Modern Warfare counterpart, both have their issues with bugs. Part of this is due to the complex systems at work in the game, and part of it is due to the rapid updates for Call of Duty: Warzone that can’t be tested to perfection. Regardless of their causes, what’s important is that these bugs get fixed. To help sate Warzone player worries that big bugs aren’t getting fixed, the developers have provided an update listing three Warzone-specific bugs that are currently being worked on....

The Origin-12 shotgun is slowly becoming more and more popular for competitive use in Call of Duty: Warzone, thanks to the Call of Duty YouTuber Jack “jackfrags” Mason who revealed a new loadout for the weapon. Since the launch of Warzone back in March, shotguns have been some of the least used weapons in the entire game. This is mostly due to the fact that they are just simply outclassed by other more popular weapons, specifically SMGs....

Following a number of leaks, Activision finally revealed Call of Duty: WW2 in detail yesterday, bringing the franchise back to its roots with World War II and giving fans a taste of the campaign with a first look trailer. While previous Call of Duty games have always made the player tend to feel somewhat like a super soldier thanks to regenerating health, the team at Sledgehammer Games are doing away with that mechanic for something a little more authentic....

Fans enter day three and the feeling is a mixture between excitement, hope, and annoyance. Call of Duty 2020’s reveal is edging ever closer but fans are still unsure exactly where all of this information is headed. With the ciphers time-locked and information moving slowly, the Call of Duty puzzle hunt is hitting its “hump day.” For many fans, this is the border between no-information and the reveal that everyone has been waiting for....

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare operator Bale has had quite a history on the task force. No matter the situation, he was always prepared and geared for the occasion. On fan has studied this Modern Warfare operator’s history and created a loadout profile that matches most of the lore around him. It should be noted that this “canon” loadout is based on research by a fan and is not an official breakdown from Activision....

Call of Duty has been one of the main go-to shooter franchises for years, and it’s no secret that Activision’s hit property has gathered some hardcore fans over the years. It’s only logical that followers of the game want to take steps to immerse themselves in the experience, but one Murfreesboro-based Call of Duty fan took this idea a step too far yesterday: the man was playing with a fully-loaded AR15 in his lap, and accidentally discharged the semi-automatic rifle....

A couple of years ago, developer Mundfish revealed an FPS horror game called Atomic Heart that seemed to be blending elements of BioShock and Fallout. The game generated quite a bit of buzz with its initial reveal trailer, but has been seen sparingly since then. Now developer Mundfish has finally released a new trailer for Atomic Heart, this time showing off how the game utilizes ray tracing technology. The trailer shows the Atomic Heart protagonist xploring a building filled with strange creatures....

Time and again, hopeful fans of the forthcoming Square Enix and Marvel team-up game, dubbed The Avengers Project, have been disappointed. Rumors for news at E3 2018 circulated heavily, but alas, there was nothing new revealed. Hopeful fans clung to the fact that the Russo brothers were attending the Game Awards 2018 as a sign that an official reveal was coming, yet once again, there was no news about The Avengers Project....

Although not much has been revealed about Battlefield 1’s second piece of paid DLC, In the Name of the Tsar, other than the fact that it will center around the addition of the Russian army, the first-person shooter’s developers at DICE have posted a fresh blog post detailing that it is set to include the expected slew of new maps, weapons, and vehicles, and has stated that its full unveiling will take occur during EA’s event at E3, EA Play, beginning on June 10....

What do Assassin’s Creed Valhalla and the PS2 version of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone have in common? Well, the obvious answer would be absolutely nothing at all, but you’d have to guess again on that one. Now, the original Harry Potter video game adaptations were, as licensed games go, not too bad at all. They were nothing particularly stellar for the most part either, but franchise fans have a lot of fond, nostalgia-laden memories of collecting those Every Flavor Beans and exploring Hogwarts Castle....

Although the vast majority of enthusiasm for Mass Effect 3 lies with getting to reconnect with Shepard’s compatriots from the past two titles, there are still some new ones to be introduced in this trilogy-ending entry. In celebration of reaching 10,000 followers, BioWare’s Casey Hudson took to Twitter to reveal one such new character: James Vega. Providing some extra muscle, or even a potential love interest for the Commander Shepards of Mass Effect 3, Vega looks to be a worthy addition to the Normandy crew....

Pearl Abyss continues to close the gap between Black Desert’s console and PC versions, with today’s update bringing Succession to four new classes (Musa, Wizard, Witch, and Dark Knight). Pre-creation is also available for the upcoming Guardian class, and a Halloween event is now running until November 3. If you’re maining a Musa, Wizard, Witch, or Dark Knight, the biggest news for you is the addition of Succession for these four classes....

It’s hard to believe, but Black Desert Online turned five this month. Since launching in 2014, Black Desert has been remastered on PC, ported to consoles, and seen an ultra-popular mobile version released on iOS and Android. Its popularity shows no signs of slowing down, and the team has big plans for the future. I recently had a chance to connect with Jeonghee “JJ” Jin, CEO of Pearl Abyss America, to discuss all things Black Desert....

Every platform is getting Zombies when Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War releases on November 13, but one platform is getting just a bit more Zombies than all the rest. That platform is PlayStation, and that’s because they’re getting an exclusive Zombies two-player co-op mode until November 2021. It’s called Zombies Onslaught, a brand new game mode that uses Black Ops Cold War’s multiplayer maps and gives them a Zombies makeover....

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War has stealthily added a tactical nuke killstreak, although it’s currently only available in one mode. Black Ops Cold War players have found that the new John McClane themed mode, Die Hardpoint, allows players to summon a tactical nuke after getting a 25 killstreak, a staple of the Call of Duty series. As can be seen in DEXB0T’s clip, to get the tactical nuke players have to hit 25 kills without being killed themselves, wherein the option to call in a nuke will be given to the player....

Wakanda Forever! After the tragic passing of star Chadwick Boseman forced Marvel Studios and director Ryan Coogler to rethink their approach for a sequel to 2018’s smash hit, Black Panther, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever hits theaters this weekend. The long-awaited sequel will double as both the latest entry in Phase Four of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and as a tribute to the late Boseman. Part of the original Black Panther’s triumphant success was its massive, culturally relevant soundtrack....

If you’re an experienced fighting game player who’s been following the genre for some years now, you’ll know how attached you can get to a certain character. Maybe you’ve become known for your use of a particular fighter, and you’ve stuck with them through thick and thin. Through nerfs, buffs and balance patches. If that’s the case, you’ll completely empathise with the Blanka faithful. When the electrically-charged wild man was missing from the launch of Street Fighter V, it was a darn sad day....
