After several rumors and leaks, the release date for Battlefield 6has been confirmed, along with two open beta periods scheduled to take place before the game's launch. Earlier this week, it was thought that publisher Electronic Arts itself leaked the release date, and now, it appears the leak was correct.

During today's Mutltiplayer Gameplay Reveal, the official Battlefieldchannel on YouTube confirmed Battlefield 6 will be released on October 10, 2025. Additionally, the two open beta periods are taking place much sooner than many may have expected.

Battlefield 6 Is Releasing On October 10, 2025 A New Era Begins For Battlefield

Battlefield 6's official title and story setting were unveiled in a recent reveal trailer, and early impressions were mostly positive. The trailer showed some impressive set pieces and a modern setting, but, like the Battlefield games before it, a lot of fans were waiting for multiplayer information, gameplay, and the release date before passing their personal judgments on the upcoming title.

I’ve been playing Call of Duty for years, and since 2023, one thing has consistently made my eyes twitch: Cod HQ. That bloated, storage-devouring monster that Activision forced upon us has been the bane of my existence.

If you’ve been grinding multiplayer or sweating it out in Warzone, you know exactly what I’m talking about. HQ shoved a part of every Call of Duty game onto your drive, whether you played them or not. Massive file sizes, endless updates, and those infuriating restart loops became routine torture.

But yesterday changed everything. On July 29, Activision finally announced that Modern Warfare II and Modern Warfare III are breaking free from the HQ prison, becoming standalone downloads. And so, for the first time since this nightmare began, I felt genuine relief:...

While Call of Duty's recent focus has been on Black Ops 6 and Warzone, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (2022) and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (2023) are receiving a massive update today. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 served as the debut of the Call of Duty HQ launcher, and both games have been available through the same installation since.

On July 28, the official Call of Duty Updates X account announced that Modern Warfare 2 and 3 would become standalone downloads. Starting today at 9 Am Pt or 12 Pm Et, the new Modern Warfare 2 and Modern Warfare 3 will no longer be playable within the main Call of Duty HQ app and must be downloaded separately.

📢 Call of Duty #ModernWarfareII | Call of Duty #ModernWarfareIIIOn July 29 at 9am Pt, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III will be moved from the main Call of Duty install and become standalone downloads.

The Helldivers 2 community’s always been driven by an unwavering mission: to spread democracy to the furthest parts of the galaxy. While they remain focused on that mission, their requests for quality-of-life improvements have been numerous.

Some are wild, others are essential for a richer experience. One feature that has been long-requested is armor customization. Fans have been asking for it, for years, and with the game leaving exclusivity and launching on Xbox this August 26, there’s no better time for Arrowhead to finally deliver on this highly anticipated feature.

Why Xbox Launch is the Time for Armor Customization in Helldivers 2

Players’ call for armor customization in Helldivers 2 has only grown louder and louder as the weeks and updates have gone by. From discussing how they want the feature to change the appearance of their gear to recommending ways to implement the feature, Helldivers have done everything.

They want a...

The age-old rivalry between Battlefield and Call of Duty has somewhat receded in recent times, as both franchises have not had the best reputation lately. However, while Call of Duty’s popularity largely exceeds EA Dice’s military Fps, there are some elements the latter did better.

In the 2010s, both series faced each other head-on, and competition breeds similarities, not to mention the fact that some of the games in both franchises had the same settings. So unsurprisingly, weapons that appeared in CoD titles also had their Battlefield counterparts.

But, in some cases, EA Dice outshone Call of Duty’s weapon designs fair and square, and like it or not, Activision couldn’t catch up in these instances. So, let’s look at the 10 times Battlefield had better weapon designs than its competition, CoD.

1. F2000 – Battlefield 3 & 4

With all the leaks surrounding Battlefield 6, the title feels like it’s gonna be a return to form by EA. Every new day brings a fresh set of leaks, and this time it’s about the movement mechanic that was discovered in a leaked build for the upcoming military shooter.

It seems like EA Dice and Battlefield Studios have learned from where they went wrong with the abomination that was Battlefield 2042 to make a title that serves as a keen reminder of how good the series used to be in the early days.

The new movement mechanic for Battlefield 6 feels unique yet familiar, similar to Battlefield 1 and Battlefield 4, which is a step in the right direction, and we hope the developers can keep this up to deliver a definitive Battlefield experience to the awaiting players.

Battlefield 6’s movement rivals Call of Duty’s omnimovement

The age-old rivalry between Battlefield and...

The continuous cycle of Call of Duty releases results in a continuous drip of new content coming to the monolithic first-person shooter, but its newly announced crossover skins are the strangest yet. With Black Ops 7 on the horizon, the current content cycle for last year's Black Ops 6 and the ongoing Warzone is winding down, which typically leads to more outlandish cosmetics.

Call of Duty has announced that Beavis and Butt-Head, of Beavis and Butt-Head fame, will be coming to Season 04 Reloaded as equippable character skins. Mike Judge's iconic characters hail from their eponymous 90s animated show, appearing in Call of Duty decked out in tactical gear and rendered in a 2D art style that makes them oddly stand out. Operator skins becoming silly has been a contentious topic for years with CoD, but Beavis and Butt-Head is a truly unexpected crossover.

Mike Judge’s Beavis & Butt-Head are coming to...

Ah, Helldivers 2, a game full of bullets, alien creatures, and an unrelenting sense of camaraderie… until you get sabotaged by a cheater. You think you’ve got this, right? A rogue player’s wrecking your missions? Oh boy, it’s time to write an essay about their deeds and report them! But wait, nope.

The report system is as broken as your last team’s strategy. Sure, you can block the cheater, but good luck getting them out of the game entirely. That’s the reason some fans are wondering why we’re all stuck in this weird limbo where cheaters roam free without a care in the world.

A feature that’s more buggy than the bugs you’re supposed to kill

Let’s break this down. You’re in Helldivers 2, feeling good about your team’s progress, when suddenly… Bam! Someone’s griefing, cheating, or just causing utter chaos.

Recently, an image began to surface on the internet, sparking rumors that Battlefield 6 will start off with an impressive roster of weapons. This is pretty unusual for a Battlefield game, as they don’t generally add too many weapons at launch. However, the sixth installment in EA’s world-renowned shooter franchise is all set to break that stereotype.

When it comes to Fps games, we automatically presume that Call of Duty has the most guns. From what it seems, though, the upcoming Battlefield 6 may beat CoD this time with its enormous list of weapons.

Battlefield 6 may have over 50 weapons at launch

Fans don’t usually believe in the weapon quality of Battlefield games, all thanks to the lack of attention paid by EA and Dice. This is mainly because the list of weapons added in Battlefield 4 was absolutely redundant.

Not all weapons added to this game were properly finished, giving them a poor look.

Ever since its launch, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has had a bumpy ride. This is thanks to the various controversies it has brought along with the usual lobby full of cheaters. From AI-generated artwork drama to awkward ad placements and even fan-fueled freakouts over Zombies mode, it hasn’t been smooth sailing.

The latest “scandal”? Season 6 might be… quiet. With Janus Towers set to wrap up the Zombies storyline in Season 5, many fans feel let down by what they assumed would be more post-launch maps. But here’s the twist: this “boring” final season might be exactly what the game’s future needs.

A silent season isn’t a broken promise

Let’s get this straight: Treyarch never promised a new Zombies map every season. The expectation came from a mix of early rapid-fire releases, internet rumors, and good ol’ fashioned community speculation, with no official roadmap.

The belief...

2025's Call of Duty has yet to be officially revealed, but Black Ops 6 dataminers think they've uncovered plans to bring wallrunning back to the series. Last year's well-received Black Ops 6 already made some significant changes to traversal by implementing Omnimovement, but the return of wallrunning would drastically change locomotion once more.

Videos have begun surfacing online showing players wallrunning in both Black Ops 6 and Warzone via files added to the games in the Season 3 Reloaded update, per Dexerto. It's presumed that said files were added in order to test a wallrunning feature for Black Ops 7, though this is unconfirmed, and the mechanics only appear to be accessible via an exploit. Wallrunning had previously featured in multiple CoD titles, including Black Ops 3 and Infinite Warfare, but proved divisive.

Wallrunning Is Controversial In CoD Its Removal Was A Selling...

Cosmetics unlocks and purchases are an integral part of any modern-day multiplayer title. One of the franchises that has fully embraced this trend is Call of Duty. Activision has given us some incredible Operator skins to purchase and continues to deliver.

Over the years, we’ve seen fans demanding tons of Operator skins in Call of Duty games, such as John Wick, Master Chief, and Doom Slayer. Activision wouldn’t agree to such requests, but that hasn’t stopped their demands from reaching the next level. Now, they want to see Sean Combs, aka Diddy, in the Fps franchise.

Obviously, there’s absolutely no shot that a Diddy skin becomes a reality. However, fans have taken it upon themselves to bring the rapper into Call of Duty in an ironic way.

Call of Duty says no to a Diddy skin, but fans say yes

In the last couple of months,...

Imagine you’re in the middle of a battle with your fellow soldiers, and when you look towards your enemies, you see Santa Claus spraying bullets while wearing his red jacket. Hard to imagine? Well, that is exactly what happened in Battlefield 2042 when they had to quickly pull back the Father Winter skin in 2022.

Battlefield has always been about war-like, gritty, and bleak scenarios, and although the players want that immersion of an actual war zone (hah!), it is often broken with the skins that are provided to them. This is especially noticeable in Activision’s Call of Duty: Warzone. Let’s delve deeper into this and find out more about this.

Absurd skins are detrimental to any modern-day warfare game

Battlefield 6 has been announced to be released before April 2026, and while players are a bit skeptical about that, some fans of the series are overjoyed because of the fact...

The Call of Duty series is the most accurate portrayal of a warlike scenario in any video game. The franchise presents an authentic representation of modern-day warfare events that are filled with violence and aggression, and many people deem it as the reason why many teenagers and young adults are getting out of hand.

But these behaviors are largely unrelated to not just Call of Duty but many other video games that showcase violence, brutality, or destruction. One CoD developer has called out the people who blame CoD for violent behavior in young men and defended the franchise as well as other violent video games.

Let’s delve deeper into why people are linking young men’s violence with video games and how the Call of Duty developer negates this notion.

Playing Call of Duty on Switch 2 would be quite neat, especially after the massive hardware upgrade it will be releasing. Switch 2 is capable enough to run a lot of heavy games, which its predecessor failed to do.

Switch 2’s release date has officially been revealed by Nintendo, and its launch got a lot of praise from fans all across the world until the studio revealed the pricing for the game.

The prices for Switch 2 games are quite high at the moment; however, that might not stop everyone from buying them, especially people who have been waiting for the next-gen Switch for a long time now and also when the 10-year deal to bring Call of Duty to Nintendo platforms might be getting close to being fulfilled.

The Call of Duty franchise is an absolute masterpiece in terms of first-person shooter games. The series made by Activision literally drops you amidst various war-like scenarios and makes you feel the true experience of being a war hero in those situations.

But being thrown into a war randomly does not feel fair for someone who has not been in an actual war, and that is why Activision introduced us to one of the best mentors in their series. Of course, we are talking about Captain John Price.

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare...

Activision has forever blessed us with its best first-person shooter franchise, Call of Duty. The whole series is an absolute treat to play, and although most of the installments might feel a bit repetitive or boring, the story and characters in them are what pull the gamers in.

Activision has forever been proud of its battle royale from 2020, Call of Duty: Warzone, but one of their hidden gems has always been the foundation for the Warzone we enjoy now. Of course, we are talking about Call of Duty: Blackout. Let’s delve further.

Call of Duty: Blackout was the best battle royale in the franchise

Blackout was the first battle royale mode that Activision released back in 2018 as a part of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4. It is the fifteenth installment in the franchise, which was...

Fans of the Call of Duty franchise have been stuck between a rock and a hard place when it comes to the long-anticipated movie adaptation. For years, rumors have swirled, with even hinting at Henry Cavill as Captain Price. Despite the excitement, these rumors have only led to further delays.

It now seems that the film may never come to fruition. While fans think they might never get to see the franchise turned into a movie, they might be surprised to learn that the franchise has already made a subtle appearance on the big screen, albeit in a secret, unexpected way.

Call of Duty has forever ruled the first-person shooter genre in the gaming industry. With its intense gameplay and more passionate storyline, the series published by Activision has always ruled the hearts of gamers and action fans alike.

Although the whole franchise features different memorable campaigns, one game sticks out as the best CoD game in years. Of course, we are talking about Call of Duty: Ghosts. Let’s delve deeper into why the game is as underrated as it is and why it did not get a sequel.

It’s not surprising that Call of Duty: Warzone is in a state of ruin right now, and with leaks of the new Warzone to be released in 2026, things are looking not that great for Activision. Although there have been speculations of the new Warzone title releasing with a brand new engine, another report suggests that Warzone 3 might be cancelled.

These speculations concur that Warzone 3’s cancellation is dependent on one crucial aspect, and that is if Verdansk fails to retain the original player base of Call of Duty. Let’s delve deeper into the topic and find out more about these rumors.

However, after looking at the leaks from the upcoming Battlefield game, it seems like Call of Duty might be pushed out of the picture since the latter is already faltering in a lot of places and players do not have any other military shooters to go to.

Swiss documentary festival Visions du Réel (VdR) has unveiled the 28 projects to be presented across four categories at its 2025 VdR-Industry section, taking place April 6-9.

Among 14 projects in development selected for VdR–Pitching are Sarvnik Kaur’s Disruption, which uses a board game to explore climate change, corporate greed, and identity. Kaur’s previous film Against The Tide won the special jury prize at Sundance in 2023

Also being showcased is France’s Mariana Otero, whose History Of A Secret played at VdR in 2023. Her new project From One Body to Another sees her collaborate with 10 visually impaired adults with mental health issues.

The Call of Duty franchise by Activision has been one of the most popular and successful series in the entire gaming industry. It is literally Activision’s chicken that lays golden eggs every year, and they are very careful in keeping that money making machine healthy.

While all Call of Duty games follow a definite premise and usually have a noticeably similar gameplay as any other CoD title, this one game from 2014 scratched an itch that even the fans of the franchise didn’t know existed. Of course, we are talking about Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare. But how did it even become so popular, and why? Let’s delve deeper into it.

This Call of Duty game was different gravy

Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare has been one of those games that just lets the players...

The Call of Duty franchise and its release over different platforms over the past couple of decades have been a staple of the gaming industry, slowly becoming one of the most anticipated releases annually. This is especially true for users on Xbox, who have been enjoying more attention than ever since Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision-Blizzard.

The Cod games over time have also helped push the technical limitations of all the different consoles it has been on. Unfortunately, it might be time to abandon the long-running Xbox One and put it to rest, as the latest leaks suggest the developers have now started focusing on the next best thing.

In the gaming world, collaborations have become an expected and celebrated part of the experience. From crossover events to the inclusion of iconic characters, collaboration is a way to keep players engaged and excited. The titles that come to mind when thinking about them are Fortnite and Call of Duty (Cod).

However, Fortnite is looking to make a bold move with another reported upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Tmnt) collaboration. From the looks of it, this unexpected collab is sending a clear message to Activision: not only is it ahead of the competition, but it’s also showing Cod how a proper collab should be handled.

There’s no denying the fact that Battlefield 2042 was one of the biggest disappointments in the franchise. However, it brings gamers those classic “Battlefield moments” in one way or the other. Dice featured the legendary iconic Rendezook play in the game’s cinematic trailer.

However, it’s time for EA and Dice to up their game. The community has created another legendary play in Battlefield: Hardline, and it’s going to be a real shame if it doesn’t get an official feature in the upcoming Battlefield 6 trailer.

Electronic Arts’ Battlefield series and Activision’s Call of Duty franchise have always been rivals to the point that the games almost mirror each other now. Although Bf and CoD have completely different mechanics and gameplay styles, Bf has always been compared to Call of Duty as long as we can remember, with many dismissing it as a lesser alternative to Activision’s series.

The upcoming Battlefield game release dates have been announced | Image Credits: Electronic Arts

With the new Battlefield game being announced, the head of their development company reveals that they are not keen on defeating Call of Duty and want to have an identity of their own. Let’s delve deeper into what it means.

Although Battlefield has always been compared to Call of Duty,...

Call of Duty and Battlefield games bring some of the best gun gameplay to the gaming industry. While Call of Duty is heavily inclined towards its campaign and story, Bf is literally a large-scale battle arena with players going for each other’s throats. The Bf franchise features a lot of heavy-hitting titles but one game from the series takes the lead in providing the best experience and that is Battlefield 4.

The title was crafted by a former Call of Duty writer and although there is lively competition between both the production houses of the games, this legendary narrative designer does not see the rivalry at all. Let’s delve deeper and find out who he is.

Do you remember playing Call of Duty as a kid? All the reloading after killing one enemy, picking up enemy guns because they look more interesting. Well, none of that is going to fly in the Delta Force – Black Hawk Down campaign. It’s been three days since the campaign came out and people don’t like it because it’s too hard.

Unlike what we’ve become familiar with in Cod’s campaigns, you can’t pick up ammo from enemies or switch guns. You also don’t have any mid-mission save points and the enemy AI is extremely difficult. And a lot of that has caught many players off guard. But is it really a bad thing? It’s a free campaign so what’s all the fuss about? It was clearly designed...

Remember last year when we were accusing Activision of using AI in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6? Well, the publisher has finally come out and officially admitted it. If you look at the game’s Steam page, there’s a neat little disclaimer now.

Only took them this long.| Image Credit: Treyarch

But it really should’ve been there from the start because Steam doesn’t even allow it. The company didn’t even admit it in a public statement or announcement, and now we’re just left to wonder what comes next. It’s good that we finally got confirmation but what is the extent of AI’s role in game development and why did the devs wait this long?

With player counts constantly diminishing day by day, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is kind of in a bad condition right now, and the game’s battle royale parallel is in an even worse state.

It is currently riddled with hackers and harbors one of the most toxic fanbases in the entire gaming industry. Although the multiplayer battle royale published by Activision was made to bring Cod back to relevancy, recently the game has even failed to do that.

But a tweet from Call of Duty‘s official X (formerly Twitter) page, has confirmed the comeback of an old map from Modern Warfare 3 which might give players a whiff of nostalgia. Of course, we are talking about Verdansk.

Ubisoft has been in rocky waters as of late, with multiple titles such as Assassin’s Creed Shadows facing a massive number of setbacks. One of the more tragic things to happen was the closure of the popular free-to-play first-person competitive shooter, XDefiant.

This is in spite of XDefiant amassing a rather impressive number of players at launch – overshadowing even the likes of Apex Legends. However, player counts do not mean everything, and there is a lot more to attribute to the failure of this particular live service title.

As revealed by Insider Gaming in an exclusive feature back in May, 2024, Ubisoft’s then recently launched XDefiant managed to hit a major milestone during launch day – nearly 1 million unique players logging into the game.

Whenever we talk about first-person shooters, we can never go past Call of Duty, because arguably this franchise is one of the greatest in this genre. From simplified mechanics and a breathtaking storyline to outstanding realism and an expansive campaign experience along with multiplayer fun, this series has everything.

There’s no doubt that the Og Modern Warfare series (2007-2011) is regarded as the best gaming series not only in the CoD history but also in the entire gaming fraternity as well. There were efforts from Activision to reach those heights with another Modern Warfare trilogy starting from 2019 to 2023, but it was impossible to touch that legacy. However, there’s always an evergreen question, “Is the latest Mw series a remake or a reboot of the Og series?” The Infinity Ward devs have the answer.

Call of Duty Black Ops 6 has a major problem with its user interface stylization, and appears quite a bit cluttered at times. This is quite a common complaint, and players have been clamoring for an updated Ui for quite some time now.

Until Treyarch and Activision officially release any sort of updates to the Hud though, this problem is likely to persist, and fans will be forced to take up creative liberty and design their own interfaces – something which the community has already been up to.

A recent Reddit post on the r/CODZombies subreddit has gained traction, addressing Treyarch and Activision Blizzard’s inadequacy in tackling one of the most important aspects of a game – its Hud.

Some Quality of Life...

The Call of Duty franchise has been a massive success since its debut back in 2003. This first-person shooter series has taken the world by storm and its latest installment, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has sold more than 500 million copies worldwide. Amid BO6’s dominance, speculations are growing in the gaming industry about the franchise’s future on Nintendo consoles.

According to a ten-year agreement between Microsoft and Nintendo, Activision will be porting the whole of Call of Duty series to the upcoming Nintendo handheld console. However, while the next-generation handheld is getting the franchise, one older Nintendo system was notably left behind.

In the live service genre of the video game industry, cosmetics and skins have become the bread and butter of monetization for games and studios. And one way where studios have really innovated in this aspect are collaboration skins with popular content creators. Fortnite made leaps in this area with its Icon Series skins.

In 2023, Activision attempted to replicate this success with Call of Duty by making a skin for popular content creator Nickmercs. This backfired after the streamer was caught in a controversy which led to the removal of the skin. After this TimTheTatman requested the removal of his own skin, and since then Activision has stopped adding content creator skins to CoD games.

A new leak suggests that Microsoft might be the console’s biggest third-party supporter. With titles like Call of Duty guaranteed through a decade-long agreement and the potential of exclusive games like Senua’s Saga and Indiana Jones on the way, the Switch 2 will be a bold new chapter for Nintendo.

Call of Duty is an iconic franchise, one of the biggest in the industry. Gamers know it for its gritty military themes and gameplay. But recently, the franchise has faced increasing criticism for veering into flashy, cartoonish aesthetics that many fans believe clash with its core identity.

Black Ops 6 is Adding A Rave Cat Baseball Bat Skin

The Club Thumper baseball bat is the perfect example of Call of Duty‘s pivot toward extravagant cosmetics. The weapon’s flashing lights, electronic music, and animated cat DJ starkly contrast with the game’s traditionally gritty tone.

Call of Duty is regarded as one of the greatest gaming franchises of all time. For those who started playing video games in the early 2000s, most of their first titles were Cod for sure. The games not only featured stunning visuals in their contemporary periods but also offered probably the best controls and mechanisms.

Apart from these, the game brings out raw emotions from the fans. Be it Soap’s death or killing Makarov, this long-hailed franchise is about pure sentiments. However, things didn’t go the way they were supposed to, because the franchise faced unreal deterioration over the years. Black Ops 6 is here, but it can never surpass the legacy of the six consecutive Cod titles, which made the franchise what it is today.

It is no small secret that Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is proving to be one of the most popular games of the year. It's doing tremendously well in terms of sales and critical reception, which is a refreshing return to form for the franchise. After 2023's MW3 controversy, it's great to see passion poured back into Call of Duty again and see it back on track.

However, it's not all perfect, as while Black Ops 6 is doing better than MW3 in terms of player count, its sales are actually down. It's also selling far better on PlayStation than it is on Xbox. Of course, Cod as a franchise is still as strong as ever, even despite Black Ops 6's issues, but the decrease in sales is worrying for other Xbox titles, especially the single-player exclusives.

I have played my fair share of shooters in the many years I've been gaming, but I have never played a single Call of Duty game. This changed with Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, and it's all thanks to split screen. The Zombies mode of Black Ops 6 is the very first time I've ever played a CoD game, and it made me realize that a functional split-screen mode may be the way for Activision to draw in brand-new players like myself.

My husband and his friends have been playing Warzone and Modern Warfare 2 since they launched, but the release of Black Ops 6 is the first time I've been able to join in on the action. The title isn't the first CoD game to have split-screen multiplayer, but it's the first in recent years to implement a (somewhat) working version of it. The inclusion of local co-op finally helped me to break into the series,...

The latest update for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has left players questioning the reliability of the game’s patch notes. Recently, developers Treyarch released an update for the game that removed a challenge that required players to get 50 eliminations with no weapon attachments.

Despite this, players are still seeing the challenge appear in both Zombies and multiplayer modes. Understandably, players are confused as to why this was a straight-up lie. With Season 1 of Black Ops 6 and Warzone set to launch soon, players are questioning the developer’s transparency and reliability.

This inconsistency has led players to accuse Treyarch of neglecting quality control. Reddit user Skywave_KR voiced this frustration, sharing that although the patch notes claimed the challenge was gone, they still encountered it in multiplayer sessions

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has just been released. After completing the Modern Warfare trilogy, Activision is now looking to revive its Black Ops series. The last game in the series, Black Ops Cold War, didn’t get a favorable reception from the fans, which is why all the honors lay on the shoulders of the recently launched title.

Right now, things are not going very well for BO6, as the game is heavily criticized for its launch maps, especially Babylon because of its boring setting. However, there are other maps in the Cod franchise that are worse than Babylon.

The half of the map with buildings somehow managed to feel claustrophobic and unpleasant, even though it was a huge map that took an absurdly long time to traverse.

There’s another aspect of the game that is also disrupting the console players’ gameplay, and that is cross-play. But is it really the case?

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has been one of Activision and Microsoft’s biggest wins in a long time. It has rejuvenated the series’ interest, and the developers have simply done great justice to every aspect of the game.

That said, however, one issue with the game, which surfaced during its beta, is now becoming a major cause for concern within the community. As reports of abuse in the shadow ban system continue to mount, many players are now worried that this feature may become a breeding ground for toxicity if left unaddressed.

As it stands, the shadow ban system, introduced by Ricochet’s anti-cheat software to curb cheating, has become the biggest bane of every guiltless Cod player’s existence.

It’s been four years since the last Black Ops game, and fans have certainly felt the absence. Throughout those four years, Modern Warfare kept the franchise alive, reintroducing a new era for Warzone and a new “identity” for the Call of Duty brand. The days of CoD being a bombastic MilSim are long gone – […]

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Does Its Duty to Fans, But Gamers Wonder If They’re Just Playing the Same Old War Written by Tito Pernalete for Fortress of Solitude...

With the introduction of StarCraft 2 and StarCraft: Remastered to Xbox Game Pass, a whole new generation of gamers can now enjoy the pinnacle of real-time strategy games. For years, I've sat back and watched my favorite gaming genre slowly wither away into a husk of its former glory, with SC2 and its expansions standing as the defining game in the genre perfecting the mechanics since the release of the original StarCraft, all the way back in 1998.

I'm an Og player who started as a Reaver-dropping fanatic on the ranked ladder in my pre-teens, so when I booted up the Xbox App on PC to check out the new games on Game Pass, I was pretty happy to see the StarCraft games were included. After all, even though it is hands-down my favorite game of all time, it's been years since I've actually sat down to look over the meta builds...
