The release of Call of Duty: Warzone 2 in November was, for the most part, a clean break from the original game. It had largely the same features, a great new map, DMZ mode, and lots of neat quality-of-life updates. The one thing that Warzone 2 did not have, to the dismay of a huge chunk of its community, was a small map. Activision plans to remedy this in Season 2 with the return of Resurgence mode and a new small map to accompany it, but it’s taking some extra time to deliver.
Warzone 2 Season 2 has been delayed two weeks, and is now planned to start on February 15. Activision explained the delay on the official Call of Duty Twitter account, saying that it’s “making several changes based on what we have heard from our player community.”
One of those changes is, possibly, the fast-tracking of a small map and Resurgence mode, a battle royale variant that allows squads to respawn if at least one teammate is alive. The Warzone community’s love affair with …
It brings me great pleasure to report that Uber-Lilith has fallen: The first recorded Hardcore mode kill of the Diablo 4 pinnacle boss, the game’s toughest single fight, has been accomplished by Ben, a Twitch streamer and self-described “gamer just trying to game.”
The end of the Diablo 4 campaign is not the end of the game. Once Lilith has been properly dealt with, you can continue on the live-service grind to take your character all the way to the maximum level of 100, if that’s what you’re into. But there’s more than just a three-digit character level waiting at the end: There is also the Echo of Lilith.
Echo of Lilith—aka Uber-Lilith—is a very, very powerful version of the base boss, designed to give the game’s most accomplished and overpowered players something to worry about. To even meet Echo of Lilith, you need to have defeated the campaign and reached World Tier 4, Diablo 4’s highest difficulty level. In a pre-release interview with GamesRadar, assoc…
It’s been 25 years since the release of the original Half-Life, one of the most important videogames of all time, and to celebrate the big birthday Valve has released a major new update to the game that adds new features and support for modern displays, restores cut and lost content, implements full Steam Deck support, and a whole bunch more—and it’s giving the full game away to one and all until November 20.
Okay, fair enough: The odds are that you already own Half-Life, or maybe the Black Mesa remake, or at the very least you’ve played it at some point over the past half-century. But this is not the Half-Life of days long ago—I mean, it is, but there’s a whole lot more going on courtesy of the 25th Anniversary Update.
“We launched Half-Life on November 19th, 1998,” Valve wrote. “We are very proud of what we built back then and we remain extremely grateful for the community of players who have been enjoying it ever since. The game hasn’t received as much att…
If you need another reason to be more careful online, try this: The FBI is warning people of a new shady tactic cyber criminals are using to trick people into accidentally downloading malware and how to protect themselves.
According to a PSA released last month by the FBI (spotted by the Linus Tech Tips forums), some industrious bad actors are buying ad space on search engines and posting misleading advertisements with links to sites that look “identical to the impersonated business’s official webpage.”
These ads usually appear at the top of the page right above your search results, which gives the links an air of legitimacy. Often they appear for anyone looking for a download link for a program or app.
To make matters worse, the FBI has noticed that this tactic is being used to impersonate websites involving finance and cryptocurrency, more specifically, crypto exchange platforms. What ends up happening is these fake websites dupe victims i…
Randy Orton is a busy man with things to be doing. The once-upon-a-time youngest heavyweight champion in WWE history has, you know, half-nelsons to be practising, suplexes to be suplexing, and, um, ah, Montreal Screwjobs to attend to?
Okay, I don’t know much about wrestling, but I do know a fair bit about Elden Ring, which makes me slightly disappointed that I wasn’t the person that Mr Orton paid $1000 to powerlevel his character in the game. Because according to a recent stream from Insiderz TV (spotted by Kotaku), the wrestler got so impatient with Elden Ring’s hard-going early hours that he decided he’d be better off just buying his way to a higher level. Can I do that the next time I’m banging my head against something difficult for a review? (I cannot).
According to Insiderz hosts Mansoor Al-Shehail and Brennan Williams—former members of WWE’s Maximum Male Models wrestling stable—Orton revealed his love of Elden Ring to them before an episode of…
I imagine plenty of us had an idea for a videogame when we were kids and maybe got as far as drawing some characters or maps in a notebook. Mike Brixius went a bit further. Beginning in 1984, he started coding an RPG on a Commodore 64 with the working title Digital Dungeon Master, inspired by a couple of his favorites. He wanted to combine the limited-line-of-sight dungeoneering of 1982’s Telengard with the party of adventurers and overworld map of Ultima 4, and to set it in the fantasy world created for his homebrew Dungeons & Dragons campaign.
Now, decades later, he’s dug up the floppy disks as well as pages of both handwritten notes and printed listings with handwritten comments he abandoned some time around 1989. Some of the disks were corrupted, but others proved retrievable, and you can see footage from what he’s got working on YouTube. “I have bits and pieces of the project from various points in its creation,” Brixius says, “but they don’t all work together as you …
As the Diwali celebrations wind down and market holidays conclude, Indian investors are bracing for a dynamic week ahead with the launch of four significant initial public offerings (IPOs). The featured IPOs include Gandhar Oil Refinery India, Fedbank Financial Services, Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency (IREDA), and the much-anticipated Tata Technologies IPO.
