If you’re one of the many playing Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War multiplayer and you’re a Call of Duty multiplayer veteran, chances are you might have felt something off with how the aiming feels. Well, it’s not just you. There are Black Ops Cold War aim assist issues and there’s proof of it!
Call of Duty YouTuber Xclusive Ace has figured out what changed and it’s an odd one. In every Call of Duty game, the aim assist works in the sense that the characters have a “bubble” that the crosshairs detect, and they slow down whenever they are near that invisible bubble of the character. Well, in Black Ops Cold War, when your gun detects the bubble, it just stops moving even if your fingers are moving! It’s hard to explain, so just check the gif below:
For reference: Xclusive Ace does NOT stop moving the right analog stick and it just automatically stops when it sense/feels the bubble, which in turn, prevents him from properly targeting the enemy! This is a departure from how previous Call of Duty games handled aim assist in the past, and we have no clue why this change was made.
You can check out the video to get the full report, but that’s the condensed version on why aiming feels kinda off in Black Ops Cold War.
Do you feel the aim assist is off in Black Ops Cold War or does it feel like it used to? Let us know down in the comments below.

Those who are lucky enough to own a PS5, Sony has released the new PS5 update 20.02-02.25.00 November 17 system firmware update. If you find the version naming confusing, you’re not alone. It looks like players will need to get used to a longer way of tagging game updates and system updates this gen.
Clocking in at just 866MB, players shouldn’t expect much from this system update.
Per the system itself, it states “What’s New” as:
Yep, that’s basically it. Told you to not expect much.
The overall global launch date (in certain countries) for the PS5 is fast approaching this November 19, while those in Southeast Asia can expect the console to be available to them next month.
If you’re excited for the launch but don’t have a way to get one, maybe try this PS5 Simulator “game” where you can experience the joys of setting up your PS5 in your virtual home (complete with cable management, even!).

Read on below for short list of patch notes.
Hello PlayStation Tenno, and welcome PS5 Tenno who have joined us last week! The first ever hotfix on the PS5 comes with a Texture Remaster! For that reason, this hotfix appears like an update and you will be required to download a ~12 GB update on PS4 and PS5 – but do not fret! The update will appear larger than it actually is! This is part of the remastering process, and Warframe will actually be reduced by ~2 GB after it has completed.
Texture Remaster
- We have made several improvements to texture format for better compression!
Changes:
- Removed Titania Prime Access bundle being in the in-game Market. This was just a UI issue as the pack was unpurchaseable.
Fixes:
- Fixed Mastery Rank 30 not awarding the True Master Chat Emote or the 15 Loadout Slots, as reported here: https://forums.warframe.com/topic/1233116-additional-loadout-slots-for-mr-30-missing-investigating/.

Speaking of, a new trailer has been released today and it features Rambo vs. Terminator! Watch the two gameplay videos right here.
Update: NetherRealm has finally released the patch notes and the post has been updated to reflect this.
For action movie fans, the biggest names back then were undoubtedly Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger. While we weren’t able to see the two duke it out during their prime, we can relive that in Mortal Kombat 11. NetherRealms has today released the Mortal Kombat 11 Rambo vs. Terminator gameplay which has the two iconic characters looking like their big screen counterparts.
Round 1:

This Klassic Konfrontation brings together the two popular culture icons in brutal fashion, pitting Rambo, the former Special Forces soldier, against the Terminator T-800, the ruthless cyborg assassin.

Yesterday, we posted a massive info dump on Capcom’s plans for Resident Evil Village, the Ace Attorney franchise and more. This was from an earlier data breach at the company, and now Capcom has issued a formal statement about it.
First the good news: Capcom notes that there is no at-risk data pertaining to credit card info, online transactions and the like, so users should be safe and not worry about the breach, as that data is being handled by a third-party service provider. The bad news? There are customer names, emails which have been confirmed to be part of the data compromise.
As there is an ongoing investigation in place, it is possible that new facts may come to light going forward. Below is a general summary of what has been confirmed at this point in time (as of November 16, 2020).
1. Information verified to have been compromised
i. Personal information: 9 items
- Personal information of former employees: 5 items
(Name & signature: 2 items; name & address: 1 item; passport information: 2 items)- Personal information of employees: 4 items
(Name and HR information: 3 items; name & signature: 1 item)ii. Other information
- Sales reports
- Financial information
2. Potentially compromised data
i. Personal information (customers, business partners, etc.): maximum of approx. 350,000 items
- Japan: Customer service video game support help desk information (approx.134,000 items)
Names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses- North America: Capcom Store member information (approx. 14,000 items)
Names, birthdates, email addresses- North America: Esports operations website members (approx. 4,000 items)
Names, email addresses, gender information- List of shareholders (approx. 40,000 items)
Names, addresses, shareholder numbers, amount of shareholdings- Former employees’ (including family) information (approx. 28,000 people);
applicants’ information (approx. 125,000 people)
Names, birthdates, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, photos, etc.ii. Personal information (employees and related parties)
- Human resources information (approx. 14,000 people)
iii. Confidential corporate information
- Sales data, business partner information, sales documents, development documents, etc.
None of the at-risk data contains credit card information. All online transactions etc. are handled by a third-party service provider, and as such Capcom does not maintain any such information internally.
Because the overall number of potentially compromised data cannot specifically be ascertained due to issues including some logs having been lost as a result of the attack, Capcom has listed the maximum number of items it has determined to potentially have been affected at the present time.
The company has oultined the detection and steps taken for this hack.
Detection and action taken
i.
- In the early morning hours of November 2, 2020 after detecting connectivity issues with its internal network, Capcom shut down its systems and began investigating the situation.
- Capcom confirmed that this was a targeted attack against the company using ransomware, which destroyed and encrypted data on its servers.
- The company discovered a message from a criminal organization that calls itself Ragnar Locker, and after ascertaining that ransom money was being demanded, contacted the Osaka Prefectural Police.
- On November 4, 2020 the company issued the following press release: “Notice Regarding Network Issues due to Unauthorized Access.”
- On November 12, 2020, Capcom verified that nine items of personal information and some corporate information had been compromised.
- In addition to these confirmed nine items, the company continued its investigation into the scope of potentially compromised information, making a public disclosure of this on November 16, 2020 (this release).
Investigation and analysis, etc., of this incident took additional time due to issues such as the information saved on servers being encrypted and access logs being deleted in the attack.
ii. At this point, Capcom has reported the occurrence of network issues to the supervisory authority under GDPR (ICO in the United Kingdom), and the Personal Information Protection Commission (Japan).
iii. The company implemented protective software, shut down all suspicious transmissions, and carried out reconstruction of the servers. It is carrying out an ongoing investigation into the information that had been saved in each of its departments based on the servers it has recovered.
iv. The company has already commissioned a third-party security company to inspect system issues stemming from this incident. Capcom plans to announce the results of this inspection separately, when available.
v. Further, the company has arranged a structure of reporting and consultation with a major software company, a major security specialist vendor and law offices with extensive knowledge of system security.
Capcom is working with a major IT security specialist company to better get a grasp of the overall damage caused by the attacks, and to prevent it from happening again. The publisher also adds that it is safe for customers to connect online to play and access its websites.
Lastly, Capcom offers its deepest apologies for any issues or complications this has caused, and will ensure it will strengthen its management structure so it doesn’t happen again.

While Capcom has given us trailers and scant details regarding Resident Evil Village, it looks like the game is planned to feature a multiplayer component of sorts. This info comes from a massive data leak that happened last week, that a Capcom dev confirmed did happen.
Apparently, a bunch of hackers managed to breach Capcom’s security and obtain a large volume of data and held it for ransom if the publisher didn’t pay, and well, Capcom refused to pay, so here we are.
The leak consists of images, internal design documents and more. It’s a massive data dump that outlines planned pricing for Resident Evil Village’s different editions (along with images), an Ace Attorney collection for the PS4 and Nintendo Switch, a new shooter IP from Capcom, and loads more! The original leak was allegedly posted on 4Chan (thread has since been locked), and has also been posted on popular video game forum, ResetEra.
We”ve also taken screenshots of a pdf file we’ve obtained that talks about additional costumes, weapons and more for Resident Evil Village Online. It seems this mode is still in the planning stages, as a “billing element” or how the component will be introduced to gamers and how to monetize it are talked about in internal slides:
Parts of the leak mention a Monster Hunter Rise release on PC, Resident Evil 4 VR, a new multiplayer shooter game geared for content streamers titled “Shield” and more! Apparently, the source code for Devil May Cry 2 and Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles have also been leaked!
The data leak also mentions how Google paid Capcom $10 million so the company will put Resident Evil 7 and Resident Evil Village on the Google Stadia, and how Sony paid $5 million for the timed exclusivity for the VR mode, DLC and demo.
Needless to say, take all these with a grain of salt, as none of this has been verified by Capcom to be legit. We’ve reached out to Capcom to seek a statement and will update if we hear anything back.
You can check out the first PS5 gameplay footage of Resident Evil Village here.
