Modern Warfare Free Multiplayer Weekend Announced

by Alex Co

April 2, 2020 1:30 pm in News

Got nothing better to do while stuck at home? Perhaps you want to test out the multiplayer in the latest Call of Duty game, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare? If so, now’s your chance to do it for free! Activision has announced the Modern Warfare free multiplayer weekend!

Starting April 3 at 10 a.m. PT, and running until April 6, those who have already downloaded Call of Duty: Warzone can jump into Modern Warfare multiplayer for free! Would-be players can check out the multiplayer lobby and join the “Stocked Up, Locked Down” 24/7 playlist, which features a moshpit of modes (Team Deathmatch, Domination, Hardpoint, and more) in Atlas Superstore and Shoot House.

Aside from that, Activision has also given a set of tips to newcomers.

Modern Warfare Multiplayer: General Tips

Totally new to Modern Warfare Multiplayer modes? First, learn about the core game modes in a Modern Warfare Moshpit before you hop into a Multiplayer match.

Team Deathmatch: Straightforward, but deadly. Teams of six go toe-to-toe to collect the most kills. The manner of death doesn’t matter, so shoot, launch, and toss grenades to your hearts’ content. The first team to reach 70 kills takes the victory!

Kill Confirmed: Team Deathmatch gets a high-stakes twist, where killed players drop dog tags. Collect teammates’ dog tags to deny your enemies’ kills and pick up your enemies’ dog tags to earn points for your team. The first team to earn 70 points (collect 70 dog tags), also collects the W.

Domination: Three flags are set on the map, each in a static location. Players compete to “capture” each flag for their team by occupying the flag zone for 10 seconds. Flags can be highly contested and captured often, especially on smaller maps. Always check your six.

Hardpoint: Like Domination, players must “capture” a location. However, instead of a flag, the objective is a rotating map zone, or ‘hardpoint,’ that moves to a different area every 45 seconds. Hold down the hardpoint and get a point for every second your team occupies it. If members of both teams are in the hardpoint, the zone becomes contested and no one scores. First team to 250 points wins.

Headquarters: Similar to Hardpoint, teams rush to “capture” a rotating objective – the headquarters. Capture and hold the headquarters to earn points for your team. The team the holds the HQ doesn’t respawn. The first team to 200 points wins.

PLUS: This weekend is the perfect opportunity to experiment with Killstreaks, perks, and Field Upgrades at a deeper level. Get to know these loadout components as you deploy them in Multiplayer, and you’ll soon handle them with ease in Warzone. Use this weekend to become a Cluster Strike master, an ‘Overkill’ perk powerhouse, or a badass boss with a ‘Deployable Barrier.’

In other Modern Warfare news, Infinity Ward launched a new playlist update earlier today.

Xbox Boss Phil Spencer: “The Roadmap Has Never Been Stronger” for Xbox One Games

by Alex Co

11:03 am in News

Are you happy with the Microsoft’s output of exclusive Xbox One games? If not, you might be changing your tune later this year. According to Microsoft’s Executive Vice-President of Gaming Phil Spencer, the roadmap of Xbox One games coming down the line has “never been stronger.”

In a video interview in the latest IGN Unlocked (#437), Phil Spencer was asked by Ryan Mccaffrey whether the Microsoft first-party studios will “empty both barrels,”and if we’re going to see some “further out stuff” to get an idea of what the new portfolio of Xbox Games Studios looks like this year.

The roadmap has never been stronger as I look forward…I mean even over like the next six months it’s a little crazy how many games are coming out. And the diversity of those games; you go from an Ori to a flight sim and to Gears Tactics. I mean, it’s…Minecraft Dungeons, Tell Me Why…it’s a strong line up. – Microsoft Executive Vice-President of Gaming Phil Spencer

You can hear Spencer talk about it at around the 41:00-minute mark.

In the same interview, Spencer talked about Microsoft’s past collaboration with Platinum Games (Bayonetta, Nier Automata), and how Scalebound is not in active development anymore.

Do you agree with Spencer that the upcoming slate of Xbox One games is a “strong” line up? Let us know your thoughts down below.

Modern Warfare Playlist Update Takes Out April Fool’s Playlists, Brings Back Chaos

by Alex Co

9:07 am in News

Following yesterday’s April Fool’s playlist update for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Infinity Ward has rolled out an unannounced Modern Warfare playlist update for April 2, and as one might expect, it takes out the April Fool’s playlists (both of them), and replaces it with something players might be familiar with, Flotation Oxidation.

For those unaware, Flotation Oxidation is a playlist which houses Rust and Shipment maps, along with moshpit modes (different mix of modes that rotate at random). Personally, I call these maps and modes “chaos,” given how chaotic and random everything is given the small maps and spawns.

Aside from that, there’s no news from Infinity Ward yet whether this playlist update includes gameplay-related changes or bug fixes as some server-side updates did previously. Once we get wind of anything about it, we’ll update the post.

In other Call of Duty news, former Sledgehammer Games (Call of Duty: WWII) boss Michael Condrey spoke out regarding SBMM (skill based matchmaking) and server issues in Call of Duty games, and says it’s all on Activision.

No Bad Blood Between Microsoft and Platinum Over Scalebound Cancellation, Game Not in Development

by James Lara

April 1, 2020 7:38 pm in News

Microsoft’s Executive Vice-President of Gaming, Phil Spencer, talks about the infamous would-be Xbox exclusive Scalebound, and the company’s relationship with studio Platinum Games, and what led to the Scalebound canceled confirmation.

Speaking in an hour-long video interview with IGN’s Ryan McCaffrey, Spencer spoke briefly about their now-canceled project Scalebound, and how he has learned from the experience.

Tons of respect for Platinum, Kamiya-san, and the team. I feel no ill will, and we talk to those guys, there’s no animosity between the teams. We try to go do something and it didn’t work. I regret that we were as public about what we went to go try and do. I did some learning around Fable Legends, I did some learning around Scalebound about being public about things before I kind of know, that we got a real believable plan, something that I felt in my hands that’s gonna be there. We just didn’t get there with Scalebound with the team. And I say that with both teams.

That’s good to hear and certainly matches with previous statements made by Platinum Games. Still, despite Scalebound cancellation, Platinum Games seems more than up to giving the title another go, as they confirmed to Eurogamer earlier this year that they would love to return to it. Sadly, the decision was entirely up to Microsoft, since they owned the IP, and from the very same interview with IGN, it doesn’t appear that Microsoft has any plans at the moment to go back as they have moved on.

I think with what you hear, we love some of the ideas that we were trying to go do, and obviously we wanted to ship a great game to our customers. So, of course, we are going to be a little upset that we weren’t able to deliver on our goals with that title. We’re not working on it, I’m not at Platinum today, but I’m almost positive they’re not working on it. It’s something we’ve all moved past, and it’s not a moment I see as a high point for me in my role of having to cancel a game that we talked about for years. For the people out there that are thinking there’s still something in the works, there’s not.

Of course, this could very well change down the road, but for now, the possibility that Microsoft may have been working on it secretly can be put to rest.

The Division 2 Next Patch Release Set for Next Week, Here’s a Preview of the Changes

by Alex Co

6:54 pm in News

While we got the big TU8.4 (Title Update 8.4) for The Division 2 just last week, Ubisoft has revealed that The Division 2 next patch release date is set for sometime next week! Not only that, but we got a preview of TU8.5! This and more have been revealed in today’s State of the Game devstream.

This is a long list, though we’re not sure if this is the full The Division 2 TU8.5 patch notes.

The Division 2 next patch release notes TU8.5:

Bug Fixes

Fixing an issue causing graphic issues and crashes on PC due to corrupted shader cache files.
Fixing an issue causing the loss of the “Striker’s Gamble” stacks or not being able to acquire them.
Fixing an issue causing agents to be unable to revive team mates.
Fixing an issue causing the League UI to completely reset.
- The League challenges will still reset for week two which will allow players to continue their progress.

Gameplay Changes

Control Points can now be reset by changing Global Difficulty.
- Changing Directives will not reset Control Points.

Balance Changes

NPCs
- BTSU Support Station
  - Reducing tick rate of Support Station healing.
  - Elite Support Stations will only provide overheal once per NPC.
  - Capping the heal amount a NPC can receive from the Support Station.
- Warhounds
  - Increasing intention icon duration to allow players more time to react to the windup
  - Reducing the 360 spin from Warhound Minigun to 2 spins (down from 3)
  - Increasing windup warning of triple shoot of Warhound Grenadier.
  - Increasing after shoot delay of triple shoot of Warhound Grenadier.
  - Slightly increasing the cooldown of moving shoot of Warhound Grenadier.
- Tank archetype reaction to Hive / Turret
  - Adding more distance checks so Tanks don’t rush at a hive next to a player.
  - Reducing threat limit so Tanks don’t switch targets too suddenly.
- Outcast Incendiary / Molotov
  - Reducing duration and tick damage slightly.
  - Developer comment: Grenades were very strong compared to other factions’ grenades and this will bring them closer in line.
- Pentagon Bosses
  - Reducing Drone Helicopter health and damage.
  - Slightly reduce health and armor for Brenner.
  - Reducing Brenner’s mortar damage.
  - Decreasing armor of John ‘Architect” Figgs.
- Mortars

  - Increase delay between UI warning and explosion damage of mortars in the Washington National Zoo.
  - Fixing general damage scaling issues with mortars.

- Assault Turret
  - Improving auto-targeting of Assault Turret to better prioritize NPCs it can shoot, and which are close to it.
- Assault Drone
  - Improving behavior to prevent the Drone from becoming stuck.
  - Improving the consistency of firing and pathing.
Poison Status Effect
- Reducing tick interval, damage and duration.
- Developer comment: Event with the damage reduction to enemy NPCs poison continues to be extremely strong, this nerf will alleviate this further.

Additionally, we are planning another update that is currently scheduled for a later time in April but please keep in mind that we might need to adjust that schedule. We will keep you updated if there are any changes.

Exotics and Talent Changes:

Sawyer’s Kneepads – Reworked
- Cannot be staggered by explosions.
- Increase total weapon damage by 3% each second you are not moving. Stacks up to 10x and stacks are lost when moving.
- This exotic only provides defensive attributes and no brand bonus, so now has potential for high damage and makes it appealing to both red and blue builds.
  Developer comment: The old version didn’t provide enough engaging gameplay; this change should help with that.
Imperial Dynasty – Buff
- Reduced cooldown to 35s (down from 40)
  Developer comment: This buff is to better compensate for the lack of brand bonus.
Dodge City Gunslinger
- Reduced charge up time 30s (from 50s)
  Developer comment: This buff is to better compensate for the lack of brand bonus.
Diamondback – Reworked
- Now Grants all shots guaranteed crits for 5s after hitting a mark.
  Developer comment: The Diamondback is underperforming, and this change should make the bonus a bit more exciting.
Merciless/Ruthless – Buff
- Explosion damage increased to 1200% (up from 900%)
Tag Team – Reworked
- The last enemy you have damaged with a skill is marked.
- Dealing weapon damage to that enemy consumes the mark to reduce active cooldowns by 6s.
- Cooldown: 4s
- Does not consume mark if no skill is on cooldown.
Reassigned – Buff
- Killing an enemy adds 1 round of a random special ammo into your sidearm.
- Reduced cooldown to 15s (down from 20s).
Tamper Proof – Reworked
- Enemies that walk within 3m of your hive, turret, or remote pulse are shocked.
- Arm time: 2s.
- Increased cooldown per skill to 10s (up from 5s).
  Developer comment: Even though we are adjusting NPCs not rushing towards skills as much this talent gives players the ability to be more lenient when placing their skills to gain the effect, without turning themselves into a grenade.
Empathic Resolve – Buff
- Repairing an ally, increases their total weapon and skill damage by 3-15% for 20s (up from 10s). 1-7% if self.
  Developer comment: Currently it is difficult to keep a high uptime in 4-man content as non-tank players try to be as safe as possible and NPCs have higher lethality, so chip damage is less frequent. This also buff is also meant to make Empathic Resolve able to better compete versus the True Patriot debuffs.
Creeping Death
- When you apply a status effect, it is also applied to all enemies within 8m (up from 5m) of your target.
- Reduced cooldown to 15s (down from 20s).

Also talked about during The State of the Game, the studio touched upon build diversity, exotic items, and more.

Finding edge Cases

They are addressing and monitoring the overall balancing of the game and looking into certain outliers.

Warhounds, Status Effects and things like Poison, Fire or gas are among them.

The goal is to avoid mechanics that instantly kill a player with full health and armor.

When instances like that are found, they try to address them.

General NPC Balancing going forward

They are pretty happy where things have landed

Now they are looking at the mentioned edge cases where they can’t just work with armor, health and damage values.

Like True Sons and explosive ammo (they should not tear down 1.6 million armor players in seconds)

M1A, Crusader Shield and Focus are not working as intended, you should only get the Focus buff when you are aiming through a scope.

The fix to that will be dropped after TU8.5. They are currently working on the exact fix because it is difficult to balance around precision, damage and the usage of a shield.

In essence, even though the builds have low armor, they have the safety of a shield and that is not the intended setup of a sniper.

They are also aware of the discussion that there seems to be a low build variety.

Some of that has to do with some overtuned named items.

They are ok with best in slot items, but in some cases the numbers are wrong.

Foxes Prayer / Contractors Gloves and the Hollow Man are examples.

They will still be powerful but they also work very well with the meta guns, so that will be addressed.

Assault Rifles

Damage to Health rolls will be buffed.

Punch Drunk will do about 20% Headshot Damage

Claws Out will get a Skill Tier Core Attribute, Pistol Damage, and about 500% Melee Damage.

Build Diversity

At the moment there is the narrative, that there are only MG5 and M1A builds around.

But based on their big data, there is a lot more diversity within the builds.

Skill builds, for example, are quite popular and useful.

Hard Wired, for example, is in the top 5 of Gear Sets and what players use.

Unbreakable is still at the top and not everybody runs Vigilance and Glass Cannon.

The LMG / M1A combo is very powerful, and they are looking into that, but they also have no issues with best in slot items

But they also want to support different playstyles with bringing up the underperformers and address the high fliers.

Exotics

They acknowledge that some exotics are underperforming and with TU8.5 they drop the first balance pass over the Exotics.

They could not address all exotics in TU8.5 but more changes will follow.

Raid Gear Sets will join the general loot pool

In an update down the road (not TU8.5), the Raid Sets will join the general loot pool completely and you can get the Chest and the Backpack from the Dark Hours Raid sets in the general loot pool.

Ubisoft Massive says that this patch will drop in early April, and mentions in the latest State of the Game it’s due next week, though without a specific date just yet.

Predator: Hunting Grounds Demo Impressions – Grenade to the Head

by James Lara

5:27 pm in Features

I’ve always had my suspicions with every trailer released for this game, but given there’s a demo for Predator: Hunting Grounds, I was ready to give it the benefit of the doubt. If you’re curious about my time spent with the demo and what it felt like, read on for our Predator Hunting Grounds demo impressions! Being upfront here, the demo has proven to me that Predator: Hunting Grounds is far from ready for next month’s release.

Lets cut to the chase: This trial demo of Predator: Hunting Grounds is an absolute mess. Outside of the long queue times that Illfonic has already confirmed to be working on, the game is plagued with a plethora of issues. Matches are laggy, the framerate dropping, graphical bugs in a not so demanding title, T-pose enemies, balancing, awkward traversal, and more. There is just too much going wrong to comfortably say it’s ready for launch.

Online Connectivity and Balancing Issues

The lack of dedicated servers in favor of peer-to-peer connection really hurts it for being an online-focused game. Being in the US, it’s easy to tell when you are connecting to someone from the other side of the world. Ping levels are significantly higher for everyone but the host, and if they have a bad connection or happen to just be a world away, well, expect lag — plenty of it. We found ourselves constantly being placed in these bad connected rooms, with pings averaging between 50 – 100 for the host, and ours soaring as high as 300 in matches at times. And to make the experience even more frustrating, on top of laggy players, the NPCs that spawned during objectives would also experience the very same lag that the host was having. PvP mixed with PvE elements is just a disaster if you build it around a peer-to-peer connection.

Even when we did manage to get into a room where our ping was considerably low, the game itself suffered from massive frame-rate drops. On the Predator side of things, this was seen mostly around the crucial parts such as climbing trees or encountering enemy soldiers. However, the soldiers had it worse as simply just sprinting would cause jitters and it was easier to run into more bugs due to the NPC’s spawning in objective zones. The frames would constantly dip from the soldier’s perspective, making it just unbearable at times.

Let’s talk about balance. Innocently enough, there wasn’t a whole lot wrong when I first started. Some games I’d win as the Predator, others as a soldier. For the time, it seemed pretty even as long as I played smart. However, because the matchmaking system doesn’t have any kind of filtering, such as by levels, you could easily find yourself in some pretty unfair situations. While the first day of the beta was met with frustrating long queue times, the second day showcased some major level disadvantage. I found myself getting into matches with my lowly level below 10, against players that were maxed beta rank, which I believed this was at 22.

As a soldier, going against the Predator felt as much as it should feel — underpowered despite having numbers on my side. Some may see that as a bad thing, but I enjoyed that part since it was in line with how it has always been in the films. Playing smart gets you through it all. It’s when I got control of the Predator as a low level going against the higher ranks that proved problematic. The grenade launcher is extremely overpowered and playing as the Predator shouldn’t make the player feel scared of its target. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything so unbalanced in my life as the grenade launcher in Hunting Grounds, as not only does it stagger the Predator and other enemies, but it also has an obnoxious explosion effect. Dealing with one is pretty bad, but confronting a whole team with them? Well, just watch this video (not ours) down below and tell me what you think.

Does that honestly look fun to anyone? I know it certainly wasn’t for me. It also makes the objectives that players are tasked with completing a bit more pointless if they can quickly win the match by ridding it of the main threat.

So What Did I Like?

You know, if these issues weren’t so consistent and the game played buttery smooth, I think this would be a great title overall. I found the Predator gameplay to capture what one could expect from playing as the Predator. In fact, I’d be more than happy with what they did with the gameplay for the Predator if it were featured in a full-length single-player game. He’s loaded with weapons, has the iconic thermal vision, is extremely fast and terrifying. Basically, everything the original Predator was. It’s damn near perfect. And this here is where developers Illfonic truly shine, as while their previous title, Friday the 13th: The Game, was also pretty buggy, they offered a fine amount of details that stayed true to the source material. The same is here, and I even found myself chuckling at some of the callbacks, such as the memorable handshake scene or the Predator self-destructing. That last bit could use some changing though as I would have preferred it if players couldn’t disarm (don’t ask how they can) it but were instead pitted against time to escape the radius zone.

I feel there is a lot to still like in terms of details that any Predator fan will appreciate, it’s just that in its current state the game is clearly not ready. The bugs presented in the trial build most likely won’t be ironed out in the 20 odd days till launch. And unless this build was one from months back, we anticipate a very rough launch that will most likely see a very small community to accompany it.

DICE Shuts Down Battlefield 5 Middle East & South Africa Servers, Will Now Route to EU

by Alex Co

2:42 pm in News

Following yesterday’s bad news that double XP isn’t possible in Battlefield 5 due to technical reasons, those playing in the Middle East and South Africa are in for another disappointing bit of news. DICE has confirmed today that Battlefield 5 Middle East servers and South Africa servers have been “retired.”

This was confirmed by DICE Global Community Manager PartWelsh today, where he also confirmed that Battlefield 5 South African servers have also been retired, with both player base now connecting to EU instead. This was made after “careful review” of “player behaviour.” We’ve screengrabbed PartWelsh’s conversation with a player, and have quoted it below as well.

Our Dubai site for hosting Servers was retired today and players in the region will instead be matchmade to our servers in EU.

This is a decision that was not made lightly, and followed careful review of player behavior from the region. We see that the absolute majority of players connecting from the Middle East play on EU servers and so will find that all of their connections are now routed here.

On the Battlefield 5 subreddit, PartWelsh also confirmed that the Battlefield 5 Middle East servers (and South Africa) reroute are for all platforms (PS4, Xbox One, PC).

It does yes.

For full clarity – players who would usually connect to servers in Dubai or South Africa, on all platforms, will no longer find that these are hosted for Battlefield V.

When looking in the server browser, or using quickmatch players will instead be routed to servers in EU.

There is a little bit of good news, though. Community Games will still be available for both Middle East and South Africa players, though they will still connect to EU.

It does yes. These will continue to be available, and will be hosted via EU servers.

While this doesn’t mean that gamers from the Middle East or South Africa won’t be able to play Battlefield 5, they will have to contend with the lag, though, which is never ideal for a first-person multiplayer shooter.

Those in the Middle East and/or South Africa, let us know how Battlefield 5 (and it seems Battlefield 1 as well) plays now; is it manageable or a lag-fest?

PlayStation Plus April Free Games Officially Announced

by Alex Co

11:58 am in News

If you’re a regular reader of MP1st (if not, it’s OK, you’ll want to bookmark us for the breaking news), you’re probably aware wha the PlayStation Plus April free games are, since it was accidentally leaked last week.

For those that don’t, it’s a good month as gamers are geting Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End, and Dirt Rally 2.0!

Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End

Naughty Dog’s critically acclaimed adventure epic arrives on PS Plus! Several years after his last adventure, retired fortune hunter, Nathan Drake, is forced back into the world of thieves. With the stakes much more personal, Drake embarks on a visually stunning globe-trotting journey in pursuit of a historical conspiracy behind a fabled pirate treasure. Nathan Drake’s greatest adventure will require quick wits, fast fists and inventive use of weaponry while testing his physical limits, his resolve, and ultimately what he’s willing to sacrifice to save the ones he loves.

Dirt Rally 2.0

Perfect precision driving and develop nerves of steel as you roar through a selection of iconic rally tracks from across the globe in search of championship glory (and ever-faster lap times) in this realistic race sim. Dirt Rally 2.0 embodies the best venerated British development studio Codemasters has to offer: challenging courses, race-altering weather systems, in-depth car customizations and much more. In all, this is a masterclass in off-road racing.

As for March’s free games, you can still download those now until April 6.

Once the PS Plus free games for April are out, we’ll be sure to let our readers know.

by Alex Co

11:31 am in News

Just yesterday, Activision (kinda) surprised the gaming population by releasing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Campaign Remastered on the PS4 first.

If you want help or just want to watch what unfolds, we have the full Modern Warfare 2 Campaign Remastered walkthrough in video form below!

Possibly the best part of this Modern Warfare 2 Campaign Remastered walkthrough? There’s no commentary! You don’t need to mute the volume at all since there’s no screaming person or dubstep music playing. As one might expect, there are spoilers within! So if you haven’t played Modern Warfare 2’s campaign yet, prepare for the plot to be ruined!

There you go! That’s hours of entertainment right there, in case you just want to see what changes were made to the original.

Media Molecule has released a new patch for its game creating, er, game, Dreams! Dreams update 2.08 is out, and once again, there’s a bunch of new stuff and gameplay improvements included! Check the Dreams update 2.08 patch notes below.

Dreams update 2.08 patch notes:

What’s new?

Welcome Garden Character Pack – Our Welcome Garden Character Pack introduces two new playable characters, a non-playable character, and a handful of enemies. Enjoy using them in your creations – they mix perfectly with our Welcome Garden Art Pack!
New Blank Puppet – Our first new Blank Puppet is designed for platforming gameplay, and is the basis for our Welcome Garden characters.

Updated: Changes to audio recording. Recording time has been reduced to 15 seconds per clip.
Other minor tweaks and improvements.

In addition to that, there’s also one thing missing from the notes that’s in the final version’s patch notes and that’s:

That’s basically it. If we spot anything else, we’ll update the post.

Infinity Ward Pulls April Fool’s Joke for Latest Modern Warfare Playlist Update

by Alex Co

7:38 am in News

During the mid-moring, Infinity Ward has released a new Call of Duty: Modern Warfare playlist update, and it’s a doozy! Rolled out just in time for April Fool’s is Gunfight 3v3 Snipers, and a few “secret” playlists! Note that this is a server-side refresh, and players will automatically download the playlist update when connecting to the game.

Tonight's playlist update for #ModernWarfare is rolling out now across all platforms! Check out Gunfight 3v3 Snipers, Cyber Attack Pro, and more….😏

— Infinity Ward (@InfinityWard) April 1, 2020

As you can see, Infinity Ward has announced it though they didn’t exactly tell people what they’re getting.

Firing Modern Warfare up, players will see the following as today’s (April 1) Modern Warfare playlist update:

Gunfight 3v3 – Snipers Only
Cyber Attack Pro
I Have Trust Issues
COD Players Only Want One Thing…

For the “I Have Trust Issues” playlist, it mentions it’s “Totally Shipment,” but in reality, it’s Picaddilly — hence, the title. Think of it as Infinity Ward’s April Fool’s prank for the community. As for the “COD Players Only Want One Thing” one, it’s Shipment 24/7, which includes 10v10 modes! Yes, that’s 10v10 matches in Shipment!

In other Modern Warfare news, in case you didn’t know, the Modern Warfare 2 Campaign Remastered was released yesterday on the PS4 first. Activision has confirmed that there are no plans to remaster Modern Warfare 2’s multiplayer, and here’s why.

More Than 50,000 Call of Duty Warzone Cheaters Banned, Infinity Ward Monitors 24/7

by Alex Co

March 31, 2020 7:06 pm in News

With Call of Duty: Warzone being a free-to-play game that offers crossplay on platforms that include PC, the inevitable cheating issue is bound to happen, Infinity Ward anticipated it. According to the studio they have permabanned more than 50,000 Call of Duty Warzone cheaters.

Related Reading: Call of Duty: Warzone Review – Arcade Royale

Infinity Ward says they have “zero tolerance” for cheating, and since day one of Warzone, they’ve been actively going through data with their security teams to ensure Warzone is free of hackers and whatnot. Here are some of the counter-measures the studio is doing round the clock to combat Call of Duty Warzone cheaters.

      Our security teams monitor 24/7 to investigate data and identify potential infractions.

·      The teams review all possible cheats and hacks, this includes identifying use of aimbots, wallhacks and more.

·      We’re working to improve our in-game system for reporting potential cheating. Plans are underway to streamline the UI for a more seamless reporting experience.

·      For all reports that are received in-game, they are both analyzed and filtered based on key data.

·      Once investigations are complete, we will continue to work as quickly as possible to ban.

In addition to that, Infinity Ward states that they will aim to provide a regular count on the latest numbers of bans issued as needed.

While there’s no single solution and sure-fire way to combat cheaters and cheating, what Infinity Ward is doing is definitely a step in the right direction.

Risk of Rain 2 Artifacts Patch Notes Listed, Update Now Available on PC

by Alex Co

6:24 pm in News

Hopoo Games has released the big Risk of Rain 2 Artifacts update on PC! As expected, there’s new content, a new stage, new music tracks, and loads more! Check out the Risk of Rain 2 Artifacts patch notes below.

Risk of Rain 2 Artifacts patch notes:

Added System: Artifacts
- The hunt is on! Be the first to explore the planet and find the secret to unlock 16 powerful and mysterious Artifacts that will dramatically change the way you play. We expect Artifacts to be the biggest feature to date in terms of replayability to all players.
Added 16 Artifacts
- New Artifact: Artifact of Honor
- New Artifact: Artifact of Enigma
- New Artifact: Artifact of Spite
- New Artifact: Artifact of Soul
- New Artifact: Artifact of Death
- New Artifact: Artifact of Vengeance
- New Artifact: Artifact of Metamorphosis
- New Artifact: Artifact of Dissonance
- New Artifact: Artifact of Chaos
- New Artifact: Artifact of Frailty
- New Artifact: Artifact of Kin
- New Artifact: Artifact of Sacrifice
- New Artifact: Artifact of Evolution
- New Artifact: Artifact of Glass
- New Artifact: Artifact of Command
- New Artifact: Artifact of Swarms

Added System: UI Overhaul
- This is something we have been looking forward to doing since the launch of Early Access. We primarily wanted to improve the visuals of the UI and finally get rid of the on-screen cursor for gamepad users. There are about a million changes with this change. Did anyone ask for this? No. Did it take a bunch of time? Yes. Was it worth it? No. Am I writing the patch notes? Yes. Is it at the top so you have to read it? Yes.

Updated System: Unity 2018.4.16f1
- Update project to Unity 2018.4.16f1. This will help with a bunch of things, but the major reason for upgrading was to fix late game crashes. It may also be our imagination, but we’ve also noticed general performance improvements.

Added New Stage
- New Stage: Sky Meadow

Added 2 New Music Tracks
- New Stage Track: The Rain Previously Known as Purple
- New Boss Track: Antarctic Oscillation

Added New Hidden Realm
- New Hidden Realm: ???

Added 5 Skill Variants
- New Skill Variant: Commando Utility
- New Skill Variant: Huntress Primary
- New Skill Variant: Acrid Utility
- New Skill Variant: Acrid Passive
- New Skill Variant: Engineer Utility

Added New Skin
- New Skin: Engineer Skin

Added 2 New Monsters
- New Monster: Mini Mushrum
- New Monster: Parent

Added New Boss
- New Boss: ???

Added 6 Items and 2 Equipment to the game
- New Item: Repulsion Armor Plate
- New Item: Squid Polyp
- New Item: Death Mark
- New Item: Interstellar Desk Plant
- New Equipment: Sawmerang
- New Equipment: Recycler
- New Lunar Item: Focused Convergence
- New Boss Item: ???

Gameplay Changes:

General
- Initial Monster Spawns
  - ? Allow initial monster spawns on the first stage
  - Update spawn logic so initial monsters spawns aren’t nearby players
  - Update spawn logic to allow elite monsters
- ? Update how AOE falloff is calculated to be more accurate
  - Developer Notes: This affects AOE attacks that did less damage at the edges, like Commando’s Grenade and MUL-T’s Scrap Launcher. They should now do full damage with a direct impact – however, this also affects enemies as well!
- Characters with damage interrupt thresholds like Lesser Wisp and Lemurian now use total damage received instead of incoming damage with a crit modifier when determining whether or not they should be interrupted when hit. This makes these interrupts more likely when using items that modify damage like Crowbar and Focus Crystal.

Survivors

    - Developer Notes: We aim for monsters to have, depending on their role, an approximate “health per director point” ratio. Some outliers had significantly higher health for what they cost to spawn, so we’re aiming to normalize these outliers
- Beetle Guard
  - Max Health: 600 (+180 per level) ⇒ 480 (+144 per level
    - Developer Notes: We aim for monsters to have, depending on their role, an approximate “health per director point” ratio. Some outliers had significantly higher health for what they cost to spawn, so we’re aiming to normalize these outliers.

    - Developer Notes: We’re comfortable with Scavengers being a bit BS at times – as long as it’s fun.

Fix Engineer Bouncing Grenades firing SFX and effects not playing for anyone but the client playing as the Engineer
Fix Mercenary Whirlwind not playing SFX for anyone but the client playing as Mercenary and not applying forward self-force when playing as a non-host client
Clean up explosion sound setups for several projectiles allowing them to play their explosion SFX correctly over the network
Update SFX setup for several effects that could fail to play if the VFX budget is exceeded

Quality of Life:

? Update AI so they don’t strafe off cliffs as much
Update AI pathfinding so they are less likely to backtrack to positions along their path that they overshot
? Move ‘Unlimited’ option to far right of FPS limit in settings
Add optional MSAA (Default to 2x) in Options menu for UI ‘jaggies’

? Fix ‘Alloy Worship Unit’ boss event not beginning if multiple eggs are destroyed in 1 frame
? Fix 1-frame flash when changing loadout panels from different survivors
? Fix inverted checkmark/no checkmark on Fullscreen setting in SettingsPanel
? Fix issue which caused blast attacks to calculate hit distance based on the center of the hit hurtbox instead of the closest point. The overall effect of this is that blast attacks with falloff will do more damage since objects will now be considered closer than they were, especially against monsters with large hurtboxes like the Stone Titan.
? Fix ‘Cosmic Explorer’ not counting the portal to the Void Fields
? Fix ‘Old Guillotine’ item not checking if the victim body is immune to executes (no more instantly killing yourself with Old Guillotine, Wake of Vultures, and Glowing Meteorite/Helfire Tincture)
? Remove stray backslash from Lunar Dagger description English string
Fix issue where running up against walls would cause the camerato get extremely close
Fix some sprites being on the wrong z-plane in the Game End Report causing weird distortions
Fix ‘Disable HUD’ setting not saving when closing the game
? Fix Scavenger gaining a permanent armor buff if interrupted while searching its bag for an item, like when activating Volcanic Egg
Unhook window flashing on dedicated servers, which causes a weird window to be created
? Fix spectators earning achievements

? Fix Chunked! challenge granting on non-teleporter boss kills
Fix Teleporters not using the correct decal layer
? Fix Magma Worms and similar monsters from spawning as an elite version in Prismatic Trials. Goodbye Overloading Overloading Worm.
? Fix a variety of typos in logbook descriptions
Fix Genesis Loop area indicator being half the actual size of the blast
Ghosts with curse no longer have shortened lifespans
Fix monsters always spawning facing the same direction
Interactables that spawn outside the Teleporter radius after it begins charging (like destroyed drones) now become locked until the end of the Teleporter event
Fix Stun Grenade being able to stun certain characters with stun immunity (mainly survivors)
Fix non-Teleporter boss encounters counting toward the Keyed Up achievement
Fix characters hidden by Spectral Circlet still being visible to AI
Fix being able to ping the sky
Fix description of Spinel Tonic incorrectly providing the effect duration as 15 seconds instead of the 20 seconds it is in-game
Fix a variety of other bugs we probably forgot…

Known Issues:

Votes on difficulty and artifacts are reset for non-host players when returning from a run to the character select screen
‘MUL-T: Pest Control’ doesn’t grant the achievement despite completing the requirements
The first monster chosen for Void Fields will not be shown on the HUD until starting the second cell

DICE: “Tech Isn’t There” to Support Battlefield 5 Double XP

by Alex Co

5:39 pm in News

Those wondering why DICE hasn’t flipped the switch on some sweet Battlefield 5 double XP goodness now that a lot of people are stuck at home, it seems it’s a tech issue and not just the studio not wanting to do it.

This was revealed by DICE Community Manager Jeff Braddock over on the Battlefield 5 subreddit when a fan asked exactly that, and why there are no community events happening as of the moment.

Well, the good news here is, something Battlefield 5-related is planned, which means added incentive to play Battlefield 5, just don’t expect any XP boosts. In case you want to read Braddock’s answers, we’ve quoted them down in text form below.

The team is working on it – we had something planned for last week but after testing the user flow, it didn’t work correctly (meaning you couldn’t tell if you got the thing or not). There’s talks going on about more playlists, login rewards – but we want it to work.

As soon as it’s locked, tested, and tested again and ready to roll, we’ll let you know. I definitely understand what you mean and totally agree.

Re: 2XP, it just doesn’t work for BFV (even though we had it for the last 4 BF

There Are No Plans for Modern Warfare 2 Remastered Multiplayer, Confirms Activision

by James Lara

3:17 pm in News

For those holding out on the possibility of a standalone remastered Modern Warfare 2 Remastered multiplayer, you may be saddened to know that the company has no intention of doing so (at this time) and will instead release classic maps in the newest Modern Warfare entry.

This was confirmed today on the official Activision Blog, with the company stating the main reason being to not split the community anymore.

Beginning with Modern Warfare last year, the focus has been to bring players together seamlessly in one unified online multiplayer playground. With cross-play, releasing new post-launch maps, modes, weapons and more content drops for free, and launching Warzone, the Free-to-Play, Free-for-Everyone new Call of Duty experience, the Modern Warfare universe will expand, bringing new experiences to players.

We’ve played iconic Modern Warfare series maps of past returning in the new Modern Warfare, including classic maps like Rust, Shipment, Crash and Vacant. Plus, in Warzone we’ve also experienced classic Modern Warfare series locations like Gulag and Boneyard in new ways.

Rather than release a separate, multiplayer experience as a standalone pack, Activision and Infinity Ward are looking to bring more classic map experiences to new life within the Modern Warfare universe as it continues to grow and build over time.

It does make sense, as Call of Duty: Warzone is already doing just that and releasing the third option this soon could prove to be more harmful. I personally would have loved to see a Modern Warfare 2 remastered multiplayer as Modern Warfare 2019 is an entirely different experience. Still though, remastering some of the classic maps is something to be excited for.

Guess we will have to just settle for the campaign for now and see how well these re-releases of maps do. Modern Warfare 2 Remastered campaign is currently available on the PlayStation 4, with Xbox One and PC release happening next month.
