Star Wars Battlefront II Maps for Galactic Assault Now Listed & Named

Earlier today, the official EA Star Wars Twitter account tweeted a message teasing the Galactic Assault locations that will be present in Star Wars Battlefront II. For those not familiar with the mode, Galactic Assault is the new 40-player game mode in Battlefront II that’s set to replace Walker Assault from the 2015 version. According to the Battlefront wikia page, one match of Galactic Assault match will feature objectives from different Star Wars planets that are unique to that area.

Moving on, while the message was cryptic and only had question marks for clues, Reddit users took that as a challenge and managed to decipher super fast.

Reddit user lalwayswinFlash7 deciphered it and yep, it’s spot-on. Check out the list of Star Wars Battlefront II Galactic Assault maps/locations.

In case you couldn’t read that, the list shows:

  • Naboo
  • Kamino
  • Kashyyyk
  • Endor
  • Death Star II
  • Hoth
  • Mos Eisley
  • Yavin IV
  • Jakku
  • Takodana
  • Starkiller Base

That’s definitely an upgrade compared to 2015’s Walker Assault where it had a total of what seemed liked four levels. Bear in mind that some stuff might be deciphered wrongly, but it sure doesn’t seem like it.

In other Battlefront II news, Criterion has confirmed that there will be no VR mode in the sequel. Don’t forget, there’s going to be a Battlefront II beta set for early next month, and you can read all the (leaked) details here.

Are you OK with the number of Galactic Assault maps set to be available in Battlefront II?

Fortnite PS4 and Xbox One Cross-Play Attributed to “Configuration Issue”

Remember that post we had about Epic Games’ Fortnite seemingly having cross-play so PlayStation 4 and Xbox One gamers could play against one another? At the time, we weren’t sure if it wasn’t just PC gamers  and not the Xbox One player pool that was being mixed up.

Well, apparently, it was. Fortnite had working PS4, Xbox One cross-play but it’s all done now. In a statement sent to PSU, Epic Games mentioned that it has now “corrected” this little cross-play snafu.

“We had a configuration issue and it has now been corrected.”

With Sony being vocal on how it’s not a fan of PS4 and Xbox One cross-play just yet, we  wouldn’t be shocked if this was Sony’s doing. That said, imagine if it was implemented in every game. Almost every multiplayer game would double its player base. And the fanoy wars alone would be legenday.

Do you think PS4 and Xbox One cross-play will be happening soon?

The Division Patch Notes for Update 1.7.1 Released, Leaderboards and Gameplay Tweaks Inbound

Ubisoft has released The Division patch notes for update 1.7.1. They primarily target leaderboards and general gameplay changes.

To implement the update, servers will go down on September 19 for approximately three hours. This scheduled maintenance will begin at 09:30 a.m. CEST / 03:30 a.m. EDT / 12:30 a.m. PDT.

Here’s The Division patch notes in full:

Leaderboards

  • The Face Masks vanity rewards are now tied to Global Event Commendations instead of the Leaderboards. Global Event Leaderboards now reward a number of Classified Caches, the amount depending on an agent’s placement on the Global Event Leaderboards once the event ends.
  • Fixed an issue where agents would be prompted with an incorrect reward notification.
  • The first column in both Dark Zone Leaderboards and Global Event Leaderboards will now display Rank even though the text says Position.

Gameplay

  • Fixed a RPM related exploit.
  • Fixed an issue where agents could experience weapons jamming with low-RPM weapons, such as shotguns and marksman rifles.
  • Fixed an issue where an agent could get desynchronized if the agent cancelled the animation of entering cover with a combat roll.
  • Fixed a desynchronization issue which could occur after an agent jumped off a high structure.
  • Fixed a desynchronization issue which could occur during corner swaps.
  • Fixed a desynchronization issue which would occur when climbing off a prop and then quickly going into cover.
  • Fixed another desynchronization issue which could occur if the agent would perform a combat roll before finishing a cover to cover move.
  • Made several improvements in order to prevent various desynchronization issues.
  • Updated the description of the Striker’s set 4p bonus to now state that the bonus will be lost when exiting combat.

Changes big and small, coming very soon.

What improvement are you most looking forward to?

PSA: Destiny 2 (& Destiny 1) Servers Have Been Taken Offline for Scheduled Maintenance

Both Destiny 1 and Destiny 2 servers are offline for scheduled maintenance. This is planned to last for a total of four hours, ending at 11 a.m PT / 2 p.m ET. 

Happily, Bungie has scheduled this during a period when most gamers will be at work or school, so that’s nice of them. 

Here’s the tweet confirming the downtime is planned:

Following the downtime, players will be prompted to accept update 1.0.1.3. (We’ll be presented with patch notes later.)

What will you be getting up to during the maintenance period? Playing a different title? Or taking a much-needed break from video games?

Gears of War 90% First-Time Players Didn’t Play a Second Match If They Don’t Get a Kill

It’s no secret that multiplayer games are a heavily competitive affair. Heck, that’s part of the reason why it’s so fun in the first place, right? However, for first-time players of any kind of multiplayer game, there’s always the dread of being a “noob” and not doing well.

So how do developers mitigate this? Some put out tutorials, and some developers just give you a little unrevealed boost to help you feel at ease. This is the case with Gears of War multiplayer. Over on Twitter, former Epic Games Lead Designer of Gears of War 1-3 Lee Perry divulged that data showed that 90 percent of Gears of War first-time players didn’t play a second match if they don’t get a kill in the first game. 

How did they fix this? Simple. They gave first-time players major advantages like additional damage bonuses that tapered off with your first few kills.

That’s definitely a way to make players feel badass, no? Now I’m curious to know whether other multiplayer games do this as well and if so, how. 

Have you noticed any first-time handicap given in any multiplayer game you’ve started out with? If so, what and how?

Report: Fortnite Has Working PS4 and Xbox One Cross-Play?

While it’s been reported before that PlayStation 4 and Xbox One cross-play has been made to work by some developers, it’s not something that’s going to happen anytime soon..or has it? 

On a Reddit post by user PRE_-CISION-_, he reported that he played Fortnite Battle Royale on PS4 and noticed he got killed by a person with an odd gamertag “zCypher Nine.” Why is this gamertag unique? Well, it’s impossible to create on PS4 since you can’t have a PSN ID with a space, only an underscore. This same user also had an Xbox One, and he hopped online to check, and yep, they’re on Xbox One. Check out a screenshot of it below, as well as a Twitch video where he got killed by zCypher Nine player.

Watch live video from psnprecision on www.twitch.tv

Is this confirmation of PS4 and Xbox One cross-play being enabled without any sort of announcement from Microsoft, Sony or even Epic Games? Or are these players on PC and the PS4 and PC version of Fortnite are sharing a player pool? 

Once we know more details, we’ll update the story. If you’re playing Fortnite on PS4, have you encountered anyone from the Xbox One crowd?

The recent sale has given Titanfall 2 a boost up to fifth place. Dragon Quest XI has gone in the opposite direction, falling to fifteenth place, which marks the first time it’s dropped out of the top ten. 

Let’s see how long Destiny 2 can remain at the top!

PSA: Battlefield 3 & Oxenfree Are Now Available to Download With Xbox Games With Gold

Xbox players are getting a mid-month treat, with both Oxenfree and Battlefield 3 being added to the Games With Gold scheme. Subscribers can pick up the two games at no extra charge, and start playing immediately. 

Do note that Oxenfree will be available for free up until October 15, while Battlefield 3 will only be free until the end of the month (September 30). 

If you’re unfamiliar with these titles, here’s the official lowdown:

Oxenfree (Xbox One)

Oxenfree is a supernatural thriller about a group of friends who unwittingly open a ghostly rift. Play as Alex, a bright, rebellious teenager who brings her new stepbrother Jonas to an overnight party on an old military island. The night takes a terrifying turn when you unwittingly open a ghostly gate spawned from the island’s cryptic past. How you deal with these events, your peers, and the ominous creatures you’ve unleashed is up to you.

YOU determine every aspect of Alex’s story while exploring Edwards Island, uncovering the base’s dark past, and changing the course of your friends’ lives.

Battlefield 3 (Xbox 360)

Battlefield 3 leaps ahead of the competition with the power of Frostbite™ 2, the next installment of DICE’s cutting-edge game engine. This state-of-the-art technology is the foundation on which Battlefield 3 is built, delivering superior visual quality, a grand sense of scale, massive destruction, dynamic audio and incredibly lifelike character animations. As bullets whiz by, walls crumble, and explosions throw you to the ground, the battlefield feels more alive and interactive than ever before. In Battlefield 3, players step into the role of the elite U.S. Marines where they will experience heart-pounding single player missions and competitive multiplayer actions ranging across diverse locations from around the globe including Paris, Tehran and New York.

It’s going to be fun seeing Battlefield 3‘s online multiplayer once again populated with players!

Will you be picking these games up?

Destiny 2 Secret Map Hidden in Limited Edition Version of the Game

A Destiny 2 secret map has been discovered by Reddit user “Snow-Spyder.” It’s found within the limited edition version of the game, which comes with an expansion pass, a steelbook case, and a Cabal-themed collector’s box. 

Combine the included map with an ultraviolet light and you’ll be able to see a whole new map layout. 

You can see the hidden map below, which appears to point toward the Destiny 2 Leviathan Raid, and the order in which you complete it. 

Obviously, we now know what the Raid involves, but this secret map was available from launch, when the Raid contents hadn’t even been confirmed. The big mystery was hiding in plain sight!

Pretty cool Destiny 2 secret map, right?
