Will RAGE 2 Blow Us Away? There are some big first person shooters coming in 2019. One game that is just a few months away, but does not seem to have much hype behind it is RAGE 2. I was not a huge fan of the first RAGE game. I played it on the PlayStation 3 and I do not even think that I actually finished it. It was not a bad game by any means, but it just did not grab me as I had hoped. I do think that RAGE 2 though looks like it is going to be balls to the wall action. Bethesda are great at creating open worlds and an open world that is full of mutants after being decimated by an asteroid is certainly something that I can get on board with! The few trailers that we have seen look like this game is going to be nuts. I am getting some kind of weird Borderlands/Doom and a little sprinkling of Fallout from this game from what I have seen. The weapons look crazy and I cannot wait to blow mutants into a million pieces. One thing that I hope is good in RAGE 2 is the story. I know that...

Microtransactions In Battlefield V Are Delayed I have to be honest right off the bat here and say that this is one delay that I personally am not too sad about! It turns out that Battlefield V has had a real hard time getting its Microtransactions just right. Currently, we are all used to the “Company Coins” system that Battlefield V has. Well, I say we are used to it. I do know a couple of people personally who say that they have flat out been screwed out of their Company Coins as they have played the game. They are not the only ones and while DICE has said they will make good on all Company Coins that players have earned. Until this is fixed they have decided to delay the release of their Microtransactions which as I write this are still scheduled to be called, Battlefield Coins. This is a real nightmare for the guys and gals at DICE. Look at the disaster that was Star Wars Battlefront II and its Microtransactions which was so bad they had to scrap them! I wonder if this is what ...

New Mode Coming To Black Ops 4 Blackout It is crazy how much stuff always seems to get “leaked” when it comes to the Call of Duty franchise. Well, it looks like the latest Black Ops 4 leak is very real as it was the companion app that did it! There is a new mode on its way to Blackout mode and it is called Ambush. The idea of the mode is all about stealth. You can only use sniper rifles (well that is me screwed!) and melee weapons to defeat enemies. It is also giving us enhanced versions of the more stealthy perks, Dead Silence, Outlander and Skulker to make use of. Skulker is a perk that I personally love as it lets you move around much faster when you are crouched. As I will be relying mostly on melee kills in this mode this is one perk I will have to make the most of. I think that Ambush sounds like it is going to be a lot of fun. I also think that it is going to be a game mode that is pretty high on the tension scale. I would imagine that many players are going to try and find ...

 Will Call of Duty 2019 Have A New Story                               I have been going overboard with reading “leaks” about the new Call of Duty game that is coming in 2019. The smart money is on that this is going to be Modern Warfare 4 as there have been some credible leaks. Of course, until Activision or Infinity Ward come out and say something, we are all just speculating. One thing that has been brought up is that Call of Duty 2019 is going to have a single player campaign. I am glad that this is being talked about and it is something that I feel was missing from Black Ops IIII. What this new single player campaign will be though is starting to develop quite the debate. When the first Call of Duty Modern Warfare 4 leak happened. The talk was that there would be a single player campaign, but it was going to be an HD remaster of the campaign from Modern Warfare 2. That is one of the most iconic campa...

Squad Conquest Brings More Strategy To Battlefield 5 I have really enjoyed Battlefield 5 since it was launched last year. Dice have rolled out a huge update recently which is the first part of their Chapter 2: Lightning Strikes event which is going to be taking place over the next few months. One thing that is part of this update is Squad Conquest and this is something that has taken me by surprise and something I am very excited to play. The idea of this mode is that it is a more tactical and intense take on Conquest Mode. There will be two teams of eight and the matches of Squad Conquest will take place on three maps. The maps being used are Arras, Hamada, and Rotterdam. These have been tweaked though and they are smaller versions of what you are used to. The idea is that there will be different things that you have to do on these maps. The smaller quarters means that you will have to be more strategic and come up with plans to try and take a point, take down the enemy and so on. ...

Call of Duty Black Ops 4 Offering Free Blackout Mode Call of Duty Black Ops 4 has been a huge hit for the folks at Treyarch and Activision. Instead of going all out with a campaign this year, COD took a different direction and instead gave us their take on the Battle Royale genre. Blackout is a huge, huge success. It manages to take the Call of Duty formula and smash it together with Battle Royale and it works perfectly. It may not be the number one Battle Royale game in the world, but it certainly has taken a little bit of the spotlight away from Fortnite. Well, the clever people at Activision are stepping things up. From the 17 th of January. They are offering people on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One the chance to play Blackout mode for free. Not just for a day or a long weekend, but a whole week! This is really cool for those who have not yet tried out Call of Duty Black Ops 4. Also for those who are into the mode, it means you are going to have a ton more players to play with ...

Gauntlets Add More Challenge To Zombies One of my favorite parts of Black Ops IIII has been Zombies. Treyarch is doing a great job in keeping Call of Duty Black Ops IIII fresh. They have a pretty hefty update this week and for me the coolest thing about this update is Gauntlets. Which is adding some extra challenge to the mode. Gauntlets is going to be a series of 30 challenges. It all starts with Voyage of Despair where it is called Unsinkable. The idea of Gauntlets is that you need to survive for 30 rounds. Each round is going to make some kind of gameplay change that is either going to make it easier for you or more than likely much harder. Weapon restrictions, time limits, powered up enemies and area defense challenges are just some of the things that you will have to deal with. This is going to add an extra level of danger to Zombies and I feel that working as a team is going to be key getting through this. Rewards will be given out at 10, 20 and 30 as well as some real braggi...

One Mode I Would Love To See In Modern Warfare 4 The rumor mill is getting hotter and hotter with talk that this year’s Call of Duty game is, in fact, going to be Call of Duty Modern Warfare 4. As a matter of fact, I would be more surprised if it turned out that the 2019 COD was NOT Modern Warfare 4! The “leak” that was revealed a short while back said that there would be no new single player campaign, but the campaign from Modern Warfare 2 would be included. The big game mode sounds like it is once again going to be a Battle Royale mode which given how much of a hit Blackout has been in Black Ops IIII is not all that surprising. Well if Blackout is returning from Black Ops IIII. There is one thing that I would love to see return from WWII and that is War Mode. I spoke about this a few weeks back, but man I freaking loved War Mode in Call of Duty WWII. It was like your standard multiplayer mode, but everything felt like it had more urgency and there was an actual point to the things...

Just How Big Is The Call of Duty Franchise Without a doubt Call of Duty is one of the biggest video game franchises of all time. I know that there are some people who are “too cool” or who think that despite the fact they have not played a COD game in ten years say that they are all the same. The fact of the matter is this is a series that just seems to go from strength to strength. Activision recently released a press release that was talking about changes to the company’s corporate structure. In all honesty, it was not that interest, but what was interesting was them talking about how huge the Call of Duty franchise is. Since 2003, Call of Duty has become the main first person shooter series in the world, seeing off games like Medal of Honor and Battlefield in the process. There has been 15 main Call of Duty games released on PC and consoles. As well as this there have been many different handheld spin-off Call of Duty games too. To put into scale just how big the Call of Duty fr...

Next Battlefield 5 Tides of War Chapter Is Coming Soon The Tides of War live service in Battlefield V has kind of been ignored. I think the idea is great and like the idea of mixing in some story with the multiplayer. If you ask me this is kind of like Call of Duty’s community events that happen multiple times each year. The next Tides of War chapter is going live on January 17 th and as far as I can tell it is hitting Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC at the same time. I much prefer this to that 30-day exclusivity garbage that Activision do. The event is going to be running until sometime in March. The name for this second chapter is Lightning Strikes and the first part of it is going to be called A Few Good Soldiers. The Combined Arms co-op mode is part of Lightning Strikes and that sounds like it is going to be fun. Rush is coming back to multiplayer which many people will be happy about. Also, Squad Conquest which is a new game mode will be making an appearance during Lightning St...

Modern Warfare 4 Leak Appears Online A popular YouTuber  posted a video about the next COD game which is supposedly Modern Warfare 4. Specifically, he talks about the Battle Royale mode which is going to be part of the game. The leak says that the map will be around the same size as the map that Blackout in Black Ops III has. It also says that much of the map is going to be covered in snow and there will be things like snowmobiles for you to get around the map on. I must admit I do like the idea of the map being covered in snow! It also states that popular characters from the past Modern Warfare games will be playable in the Battle Royale mode. This is to be expected as Blackout mode did the same with Black Ops III characters. One of the most interesting things that I came across was that once again there will be no “new” single player campaign. I say new because it does state that there will be a remaster of the Modern Warfare 2 single player campaign to play through and it al...

Get Battlefield V Free Thanks To NVIDIA If you need a new graphics card for your PC you might as well take advantage of this great deal that NVIDIA is running right now. While I put Battlefield V in the title it is also worth noting that you can also score the upcoming Anthem for free as well. If you purchase an RTX 2070 or an upcoming RTX 2060 graphics card. You can choose between getting Battlefield 5 or Anthem for free. If you want the best of the best, you can purchase an RTX 2080 Ti or RTX 2080 you actually get both games for free. This is a pretty sweet deal and well worth looking into if you have been thinking about upgrading your graphics card for a while. Battlefield V runs great on my two year old NVIDIA graphics card that I have on my gaming PC so I am not sure that they are going to sell a ton of these just because people want a free copy of Battlefield 5. Still I have a feeling that Anthem is going to be a pretty demanding game so this could be a way of future proofing...

Would You Play Black Ops IIII Without Specialists I read a very interesting post about how they feel Treyarch should add a mode in Call of Duty Black Ops IIII that allows you to have no specialists. At first, I thought what on earth were they talking about? But then I thought about it some more and I feel that they have a point. Specialists are nothing new to the Call of Duty series if you played a lot of Black Ops III or Infinite Warfare you know this. However, I do feel that in Black Ops IIII they have tried to make their specialists walk a line that makes them kind of between the heroes that Overwatch has and the Operators that Rainbow Six Siege has. I totally get what they were going for. Having a character that has “special” abilities and their own backstory has worked out very well for Overwatch and Siege and it is something that I feel Call of Duty needed to be honest with you. However, I get that how some old school Call of Duty players may see the Specialists as a bit annoy...

It Is Not Too Late To Get Into Titanfall 2 I know that I have spent a lot of time talking about Call of Duty Black Ops IIII and Battlefield V lately and with good reason too. However, I was out and about today and found that you can purchase Titanfall 2 for around five bucks! Titanfall 2 is one of those games that I feel was criminally overlooked when it was released and also now. The first Titanfall that was an Xbox exclusive was a fine game, but Titanfall 2 expanded on it in every way possible…….. and I would go as far to say it is one of the best first person shooters of this console generation! I am not exaggerating here either, Titanfall 2 does what it does so well that I am having a hard time thinking of any negatives. It is a game where you play as a “jockey” who can run and zip around the maps in some serious style. This though is just one aspect of the Titanfall 2 gameplay. You see you can also call in these huge mechs that are called Titans. These, as you would expect, hav...

Star Wars Battlefront II A Year Later I am a huge Star Wars fan and play most of the games. When DICE rebooted the Battlefront series I was excited. Even though that first game was a rather bare-bones experience, I had fun with it. Battlefront II though looked like it was going to be awesome….. then just before release rumblings started. Battlefront II came out a little over a year ago and I thought it would be fun to look back on it. It was one of my most wanted games of 2017. However just before release when sites were giving review copies. Word started getting around about how messed up the progression and unlocking system was. Some guy worked out that to unlock a character like Darth Vader you were looking at 40 hours of gameplay! Add to this the crazy loot box system where items that can give you an edge in battle were and Battlefront II felt like a game that was all about getting more money out of you. I cannot think of another game that was dragged over the coals as much as B...

Battlefield V Microtransactions Are Nearly Here EA may have claimed that the reason they did not have Microtransactions in Battlefield V was that they wanted players to just “experience” the game. However, we all know they held off from them due to the backlash they got with what they tried to pull with Star Wars Battlefront II. Well as I write this the Microtransactions are just a few weeks away. You can on some sites, pre-order your Battlefield V currency already. It looks like it is going to be priced at 4.99 for 500 currency and go all the way up to 49.99 for 6,00 currency. I am not a fan of Microtransactions, but these prices are in line with what other games are charging. EA has stated that the Microtransactions will not be allowed to purchase anything that will give players an advantage in battle. I think this is a good thing as it was one of the things that many players felt was unfair about Star Wars Battlefront II. Company Coin is still going to be in the game. You ca...

Looking Forward To Call of Duty 2019 I think that the Call of Duty series is on a real roll. Since Ghosts (which is one of my least favorite games in the series) Activision and the three development studios have been knocking it out of the park. Black Ops III, Advanced Warfare, Infinite Warfare, WWII and Black Ops IIII have all been games that I have had a lot of fun with. We know that 2019 is once again Infinity Wards turn at the helm. Last time out they gave us Infinite Warfare which while it divided the fanbase, I loved. The multiplayer was awesome, Zombies was great and the campaign was truly amazing. So I am very excited to see what they get up to next. There have been a few rumors floating around and there was that job listing they posted which indicated that this would be a next gen game. There is also the talk that this could be another Modern Warfare game which I am sure people would go wild for. While I loved the futuristic, Infinite Warfare, I am sure there is no way tha...

Demons Are Getting Slain In 2019 There are some great shooters coming in 2019, but for me, the big deal and the one I am really hyped for is Doom Eternal. I love Doom and even I was not expecting the reboot to be as awesome as it was. Doom Eternal is the sequel and it appears to be doing what most good sequels do. That is give us more of the same, but kicking things up sever notches. One of the things that I think looks really cool about Doom Eternal is the grappling hook mechanic. You already feel like an unstoppable badass (well unless you get swarmed or play on the higher difficulty) and being able to zip around the map like you are freaking Batman is going to be great. Not just for the combat, but I think they will also use the grappling hook to create some tricky puzzles and platforming sections. The game is set on Earth which has been overrun by demons, there was also that rumor that heaven would have some part to play in Doom Eternal. I for one think this sounds very interes...

Looking At Fallout 76 and Battlefield V’s Disappointing Sales While I am not trying to sound like a know it all here, I knew that the tail end of 2018 was going to see some games struggle to find an audience. There were far too many huge releases in a short period of time for them all to do amazingly well. We all knew that Battlefield V was not meeting its sales targets as it had its price slashed in half roughly a week after release. Fallout 76 also is suffering a similar fate, although a large portion of that can be attributed to the fact that not many people actually asked for Fallout 76 and it was a bit of a mess when it was released. Battlefield V managed to sell around 1.9 million copies. Let’s face it that is no small number and many smaller studios would kill for those kind of sales. EA though are less than happy as this is around 60 percent less (in terms of physical sales) of what Battlefield 1 sold during the same time frame when it was first released. A 60 percent drop i...

Some Of The Best Light Machine Guns & Assault Rifles In Call Of Duty Black Ops 4 I have been having a blast playing Black Ops 4. While I have been enjoying actually playing the game I have also had a lot of fun getting into the community more and delving deeper into the game. For example, I have found it very interesting looking at the stats for the different weapons in the game. I am more of a run and gun style player so I thought I would start by taking a look at the LMG’s and rifles that Call of Duty Black Ops 4 has to offer. VKM 750: This is the most powerful weapon in this class and it is an LMG. It has the highest base damage and headshot damage. The base damage is 62 and the headshot damage is 68. This means that it takes three shots no matter where you hit to kill your opponent. Titan: This is another LMG and the second most powerful. The base damage is 46 and the headshot damage is 59. So three headshots will take a guy down and four body shots will take them down. Whi...

Call Of Duty Black Ops 4 SMGS You cannot have a Call of Duty game without some kick ass SMGS. Well Call of Duty Black Ops 4 is no different. I love an SMG and feel that they are the kind of gun that is great if you are a run and gun style of player. Looking at the stats for these SMGS was rather interesting as in all honesty it is not until you dive really deep into the stats that you see the small differences between each one. Saug 9mm: I would put this one at the top of the list, but only just. Base damage is 28 and head damage is 30. 5 headshots are required for a kill and 6 body shots are what you need to do if you are not a skilled marksman. The reason I put this one top is that the speed of it means that the time it takes to kill when you are hitting the body is .032 seconds. This is the fastest of all the SMGS. Spitfire: The Spitfire has a head damage of 29 and body damage of 27. It does take 6 body shots to kill an opponent and also 6 headshots. What makes me like this thou...

Do I Miss The COD Single Player Campaign While I put a ton of hours into Call of Duty Black Ops IIII. I must admit that the last couple of weeks have seen me barely touch the game. To be fair this is nothing to do with Black Ops IIII, but the fact I picked up Spider-Man, Shadow of the Tomb Raider and Jurassic World Evolution. Three games that are all deep single player experiences. It got me thinking, do I miss the single player campaign in Black Ops IIII? At first, I thought I did not, Zombies has an awesome story and one that if fleshed out a little more could have been a fully fledged game in its own right. As time has gone on though I must admit that I do wish Black Ops IIII had a single player campaign. The controls in Black Ops IIII are nice and tight and I love the presentation as well. It gets me thinking what about what cool kind of story, Treyarch could have come up with for this game I also think that as I had such a great time with Call of Duty WWII and Call of Duty Infi...

Classic Shooter Memories Transformers Cybertron Series As a kid of the 80’s I grew up with Transformers and I am just as big a fan today as I was back then! I just recently saw the new Bumblebee movie (which was awesome by the way) and thought that I would look back on the two best Transformers games. Transformers War for Cybertron was released in 2010 and then followed up with Fall of Cybertron in 2012. If you want to get technical then there was kind of a third game, Rise of the Dark Spark also released in 2014. The Cybertron games are truly fantastic. They are set on the Transformers homeworld of Cybertron and the idea of the games is that they are set around the time of the big Transformers civil war and the end days of Cybertron before the Transformers came to earth. There are a ton of nods to the G1 Transformers in these games, but in all honesty, even if you had never seen an episode of the original series you would still enjoy these games. Both games are 3 rd person shoote...

Will We See Another Futuristic Call of Duty Game While we have only been playing Black Ops IIII for a couple of months at this point. To be honest with you a big part of me is wondering what the folks at Infinity Ward are working on right now for Call of Duty 2019. Last time that Infinity Ward was at the helm they gave us Call of Duty Infinite Warfare. Which…… is one of the most fun Call of Duty games I have ever played. Looked I know that is not a popular opinion, but I loved the futuristic sci-fi setting. I know that is not what Call of Duty was created on, however, I feel that Infinity Ward did a fantastic job in bringing Call of Duty to the future. Most gamers were cool with Advanced Warfare and its slightly futuristic setting, but many people felt that Infinite Warfare went too far. I often wonder had Infinite Warfare not had the Call of Duty name on it if it would have been better received. I would love to see Infinity Ward take another crack at making a futuristic Call of Du...

What Can EA Do To Make Battlefield V A Success Battlefield V has had quite the trouble since it launched. Not from a gameplay point of view, but in terms of finding an audience and getting gamers to give it a chance. Battlefield V had the hard task of not just following up from Call of Duty WWII, but also following up from Call of Duty Black Ops IIII which was one of the most hotly anticipated COD games in years. EA also messed up by having a very confusing launch for Battlefield V. First the game was delayed (I do not care what they say, it was delayed to give it more space from Black Ops IIII) and then they had three different release dates, depending on which version or what your membership status was! This along with the fact that October/November 2018 was stacked with huge releases all went against Battlefield V, plus there was the fact that the beta was not exactly well received. Still, with all this, Battlefield V is a fantastic game and a game I have had a ton of fun with. ...
