Overwatch’s New Winter Wonderland Event Check It Out
Why Call Of Duty WWII Is The Most Festive Game Of 2017!
Ok so this may be a weird statement, but playing games that give you that holiday feels is something that we like to do. Donkey Kong Country’s snow themed levels, Diddy Kong Racing and its Frosty Village to name just two. But we feel that this year’s Call Of Duty Winter Siege event has made Call Of Duty WWII the most festive triple A title of this holiday season!
The headquarters looks like Santa’s sleigh crash landed there as it is so festive. You can throw around Christmas snow globes with your buddies. Right in front of the Quartermaster there is a lovely Christmas tree, but unfortunately, the Quartermaster does not exactly have a look of Christmas joy on his face, but hey at least the tree is cool. Plus there are Christmas lights all over the place.
Of course, the main event of the Call Of Duty Winter Siege event is those wonderful loot boxes. We know that loot boxes are taking a real beating in the press these days. But we do feel that Sledgehammer has tried to keep their Call Of Duty WWII loot boxes light and fun. We have talked about the Winter Siege supply drops before where you can get some pretty neat festive items that will make it extra fun when you are waging war this holiday season. Of course, playing the game on the Carentan Map which is covered in snow also helps get you into the holiday spirit….. well as much as the horrors of World War II can of course.
We have had a blast with Call Of Duty WWII Winter Siege and we are sure that you guys who will be opening it up on Christmas morning will too. Just be warned that you only have around a week after Christmas to enjoy the event so make the most of it.
Get ready to dish out some more orders to your squad as we have a look at another one of the classic games in the Rainbow Six series.
Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Lockdown (2005) Xbox, PlayStation 2, Nintendo GameCube, PCBy now, Rainbow Six was one of the premier shooter franchises and for this installment, things to a bit more of an action heavy kind of feel. Once again you play as Rainbow team. In the year 2009, you have been tasked with putting a stop to a terrorist organization called Global Liberation Front who have a virus called Legion that they want to unleash.
The console versions of the game were certainly more action based. Added into the console versions were these sniper sections which had a real shooter gallery kind of feel as you had to pick off various targets. Interestingly these sniper sections were not in the PC game. While Rainbow Six Lockdown still featured many of the tactical elements from past games. Action certainly seemed to be the direction that Ubisoft wanted to take the series in.
This more action heavy game resulted in mixed reviews, especially for the PC version as many fans felt this was a dumbed down version of what they had come to love.
Both the PlayStation 2 and Xbox would get their own exclusive online mode with the PlayStation 2 having Rivalry and the Xbox having a mode called Persistent Elite Creation which was actually a huge deal and something many people got into. The GameCube version did not support online play, but it did have an exclusive 2 player co-op mode.
This is not one of the more popular games in the series and you could argue that the response it got made Ubisoft take a long hard look at the series.
