CoD MW2 & Warzone 2: Trailer for the revamped Battle Pass
CoD MW2: Update 1.10 on 16.11. – Patch Notes
When is the update coming? The update is online.

PC (Steam/Battle.net): approx. 32 GB
Xbox One / Series: approx. 50 – 60 GB
Ps4 / PS5: 25 – 30 GB
The size of the download also depends on which parts of MW2 you have installed. All packs have been slightly adjusted – the fewer packs you have on the drive, the smaller the download.
What’s in the update? Looking at the content, you can expect the following:
1 classic map – Shoot House
Hardcore modes / Tier 1
Combat stats
Battle Pass
3 new weapons
Spec-Ops mission
Seasonal prestige system
Roadmap of the entire Season 1.
Furthermore, there are balance adjustments for weapons and gadgets. We will list the most important adjustments here. You can find more changes at infinityward.com.
Season 1 and Warzone 2 launched together. We from MeinMMO are therefore accompanying the release with a live ticker and keeping an eye on the servers and the official channels: CoD Warzone 2: Release ticker and server status.

In Call of Duty: Warzone 2 players can now join opposing teams through a simple feature. MeinMMO tells you how to do it.
It’s here, Season 1 of CoD Modern Warfare 2 is here and also Warzone 2 is online.
Several hours before the originally indicated release, you can already form a squad with your friends and dive into the battlefield of the highly anticipated battle royale shooter – but you can’t only play with your friends.
As the online magazine CharlieIntel reports on Twitter, it should also be possible to join an opposing squad in Warzone 2. CoD fans on reddit describe the new feature with the simple motto: “If you can’t beat your enemies, join them.”
How can I join opponents? You can join an opposing team in Warzone 2 through the emote wheel. There, there is the option to “request to join enemy squad”.
If the opposing squad accepts your request, you will become a member of their squad. Conversely, the feature should work the same way: An enemy player can request to join your squad, and your team has the option to accept or decline the request.
This feature thus offers the first opportunity to join enemies through the emote wheel. Emotes are used in most games, for example, to perform dances or greet other players gesturing.

Are you having trouble inviting your friends in Call of Duty: Warzone 2 via the social menu shortly after the release? Then you are not alone. However, there is a fix for the problem that we will present to you here.
Thanks to comprehensive crossplay features, you can play together in Call of Duty: Warzone 2 with all available platforms.
However, the social menu is pretty broken shortly after the release. When you want to access your friends list, the game sometimes throws you back to the main menu.
You can bypass the social bug with the following trick:
Open the menu at the top right in the main menu
Go to the “Channels” tab, which has the headphones
Open your own channel
You can invite friends to the channel here and thus access the friends list
The menu is also not quite stable and quickly throws you back to the main menu when you switch tabs.
But this way you can at least access your friends list if the social menu is completely bugged for you.
If you play on the same platforms, then also use the built-in friends list features. Invite friends via the Steam friends list or join on PlayStation through the friends list.
In the strategy game “Kaiju Wars” on Steam, you command your military units and fight against giant creatures like Godzilla and King Kong. The game has received a very positive rating from players, with 90% of reviews being positive.
What kind of game is Kaiju Wars? The game throws you into the typical scenario of a Kaiju film.
The term “Kaiju” refers to a Japanese film and television genre that features giant monsters. The creatures themselves are also referred to as Kaiju.
Often, the story involves the monsters attacking a city and being fought off by the military (or other giant animals). Prominent examples of the genre include King Kong, Godzilla, or Pacific Rim.
The game is a turn-based 2D strategy game. As the mayor in Kaiju Wars, you take command of the military and fight against the giant creatures that threaten the cities.
Here you can see the launch trailer for Kaiju Wars:
Start video
KAIJU WARS – Official Launch Trailer
Force the monsters to retreat and protect the lab
What does the gameplay look like in Kaiju Wars? The game is designed in 2D with a bright retro look. In battle against the monsters, you send your forces, such as tanks or fighter jets, to stop the creatures.
Additionally, players can build structures, such as army bases or airstrips, to distract the monsters for a while. The game also equips you with unusual weapons, such as freeze rays and battle mechs.
Here you can see some screenshots from the game
The catch is: Kaiju cannot be killed. You can only slow them down and force them to retreat. However, they always return to the cities – sometimes stronger than before.
For the monsters evolve and mutate, gaining new and stronger abilities. You will encounter a total of five different monsters in the game, including a giant ape and a dinosaur-like creature.
However, you have scientists as an ace up your sleeve. They can calculate the likelihood of the next move of the monsters, giving you the chance to anticipate their actions.
You need to keep one building in particular in view: The lab with the scientists who are working on developing an anti-Kaiju serum. If the monsters get too close to the lab, you need to evacuate the building quickly.
You can also use the map editor to create your own cities or scenarios and then share your creations online. There is also a weekly leaderboard where you can prove yourself against other players.
More on games on Steam can be found here on MeinMMO:
How do players rate Kaiju Wars? The game scores very well on the gaming platform. However, it should also be noted that there are only a few reviews in total: Of the 121 reviews, 90% are positive (as of November 16, 2022, via Steam).
How much does Kaiju Wars cost on Steam? You can buy the game on Steam for €16.79. If you want to test the game first, you have the option to download the demo.
In Call of Duty: Warzone 2 there is a new assault rifle that you can only unlock in the DMZ mode. MeinMMO shows you what you need to do.
Which rifle is it? In Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2, there is a new assault rifle called M13B, which is characterized by a comparatively high rate of fire. However, to unlock the new weapon, you must play in the DMZ mode released with Season 1.
How do you unlock the M13B? The new assault rifle M13B can only be unlocked by playing the DMZ mode. For this, you need to go to the radiation zone of the DMZ mode on the map Al Mazrah and defeat a Chemist there.
Your target: the yellow area with the radiation symbol.
The Chemist is characterized by a yellow radiation protection suit and resembles Walter White in full work attire from the popular TV series Breaking Bad.
After you have eliminated the Chemist, you need to pick up his weapon. Then you must extract from the map with the rifle in your possession.
Is there a downside to the mission? Yes! Although the procedure does not seem particularly complicated and can presumably be implemented without problems by most players, the mission has a small catch.
For each Chemist kill, only one member of your squad can pick up the weapon blueprint and thus unlock it, as the Chemist only carries one copy of the rifle. For every additional squad member, you need to repeat the process.
However, team members unlock the base weapon – but for the special blueprint, you need to go back in.
Moreover, especially at the start of Warzone 2, it is to be expected to encounter the Chemist with enemy players. After all, you are not the only one wanting the new weapon.
However, you can also get the gun completely without the Chemist. If you have a teammate who is willing to pass the weapon from his DMZ inventory to you, it also counts once you extract it.

Shortly after the release of Call of Duty: Warzone 2, graphics drivers and download errors are causing trouble. MeinMMO shows you how to fix the problems.
Warzone 2 is finally online, but if you wanted to casually jump into the first rounds, a few problems may have tested your patience.
PC players were plagued by a message stating their graphics drivers were outdated. Console players, on the other hand, were frustrated with error messages like “Cannot be installed” or “Multiplayer not installed.” MeinMMO shows you how you can fix these issues.
PC: How to fix the error message “Graphics driver is outdated”
What is the error on PC? Warzone 2 players who do not have the latest graphics card driver installed will receive an error message “Graphics driver is outdated” when starting the game. This message indicates that you should update your graphics card driver.
How to update the graphics driver? You can update your graphics card driver through GeForce Experience if you have an Nvidia graphics card. The manufacturer provides you with the latest driver here.
Alternatively, you can get the driver from the website of your graphics card provider. Here are the links that will take you to your provider’s website:
Nvidia – Drivers for graphics cards via nvidia.com
If you generally have problems with Modern Warfare 2 on PC and not just with Warzone 2, MeinMMO editor Benedikt Schlotmann shows you 11 tips on how to fix crashes in CoD MW2.
What is the error on console? As console players, you don’t have to deal with updating graphics drivers, but particularly on PS5, the download of content is problematic, as a player shows on reddit.
Additionally, it can happen that Warzone 2 incorrectly indicates that the multiplayer is not installed.
How to solve the download error? If Warzone informs you that the multiplayer is not installed, you can help yourself with a few simple steps:
Navigate to your downloads and select “Cancel and Delete” for the content pack
Then click on “Manage Game Content” under “Modern Warfare 2”
Select the icon that looks like a trash can and the packs for multiplayer, co-op, and Warzone
Now you can reinstall the content, and the installation of the update should no longer cause any problems
Another problem that some players have noticed pertains to the social menu, which is currently buggy. MeinMMO editor Maik Schneider shows you how to invite friends despite the error.
After the success in 2021, the German content creators group PietSmiet will once again host the popular kart event in 2022 with well-known guests from the gaming scene.
What kind of tournament is this? PietSmiet held an E-Kart tournament in November 2021, which was streamed live on the Piets’ channel on Twitch. The “E-Kart Invitational” featured a selection of streamers racing against each other in a tournament format on an E-Kart track.
The kart event was a great success and captivated an average of 27,300 viewers. Featured were well-known content creators such as Simon Krätschmer from Rocket Beans, Leslie Foertsch/ Farbenfuchs, and Dner. Also participating were Sebastian, Jonathan, and Dennis from PietSmiet. In total, the tournament had 12 participants in 2021.
After the event excited audiences last year, PietSmiet has now announced that the format will return in 2022: the E-Kart Invitational 2.
When will the event take place? The second edition of the E-Kart tournament will start on November 19, 2022, at 5:00 PM.
Where will the event be streamed? You can follow the E-Kart Invitational 2 live on PietSmiet’s Twitch account.
PietSmiet gathers well-known faces from the gaming community
Who is participating in the tournament? As in the previous year, alongside the PietSmiet team, several well-known faces from the gaming scene will be present in the second edition of the tournament.
Alongside the E-Kart Invitational, the major charity event Friendly Fire 2022 will also take place again. The PietSmiet team will also be by the side of Gronkh and other content creators for Friendly Fire 8.
A 37-year-old man wanted to play Pokémon GO in a public park with his girlfriend, but a group of teenagers had a problem with which bench he sat on, according to British media reports.
Where does the story come from? The story comes from the site “Kent Online”. The local newspaper reports on an incident in a park in Sturry, a village in the north of Canterbury in Kent County. Kent is located in the southeast of England.
Trainer is shoved and beaten by 6 to 8 teenagers
This is what the victim says: The 37-year-old Mark Fernyhouse wanted to visit the park in Sturry with his girlfriend to play Pokémon GO. They sat down on a bench. That was apparently a mistake.
His girlfriend, Tasha Feuchuk (25), says:
We were sitting on the bench in the middle of the park and out of the corner of my eye, I saw a few silhouettes and then I heard: Oi! There we are.
The woman says she immediately stood up and left, but then realized that her boyfriend was no longer beside her. When she turned around, she saw that a group of teenagers was pushing him.
They had pushed him against stuff in the park and kept hitting him in the head with something. It was dark, but there must have been six or eight of them.
After the woman managed to pull her partner out of trouble, they called emergency services. The 25-year-old says her boyfriend had trouble walking, but they could sit on a neighbor’s step while waiting for the police.

This is how it ended: The police took the man to a hospital, where he received a CT scan and had his wound stitched. He is now recovering but doubts that the police can deal with the perpetrators.
The police say: Investigations are ongoing.
Pokémon GO is played outdoors, which often leads to physical conflicts:
With TRAHA Global, a new MMORPG was released on Steam in November. The focus is on the battle between two major factions. The title surprisingly reached more than 8,000 concurrent players on Steam, even though it is essentially a mobile game that has only been rudimentarily adapted for PC. Nevertheless, thousands still log in daily on Steam.
What kind of game is it? TRAHA Global is a free-to-play MMORPG that was brought from Korea to the West. In the game world, there is war between the two factions Vulcan and Naiad. You can join one of the kingdoms:
You create a character and choose one of seven weapon classes. Available options are: Scythe, Bow, Greatsword, Shield, Dual Blades, Staff, and Brass Knuckles. You can change your class at any time.
You traverse an open game world and complete quests.
There are dungeons and raids.
In PvP, there are various options, including a 1v1 arena and the large RvR, where 100 players from one faction fight against 100 players from the other.
Graphically, it roughly resembles Lost Ark, as you play from a third-person perspective.
What makes the high player numbers on Steam so surprising?Originally, Traha was supposed to be a pure mobile game, which is clearly evident in the user interface. Skills are located on the left side, and the controls with mouse and keyboard don’t feel ideal.
Nevertheless, TRAHA Global peaked at 8,038 players, reaching records set by MMORPGs like Lord of the Rings Online, Old School RuneScape, and even nearly Guild Wars 2 (8,324). Two weeks after the release, 2,000 players are still actively playing, which even surpasses several other MMORPGs like Elyon, Swords of Legends Online, and RuneScape.
Many are also playable outside of Steam; however, these 8,000 users consciously chose to play TRAHA instead. Therefore, we looked at what these players find appealing about the MMORPG.
You can watch the first gameplay of TRAHA here:

Traha Global Preview-Trailer
Praise for graphics, PvP, and lack of auto-play
What does TRAHA Global do well? On Steam, the MMORPG currently has 729 reviews, of which only 46% are positive. This is not surprising, as many negative reviews directly criticize the mobile appearance and stop playing.
However, there are still a few hundred positive reviews praising various points:
The user Sounds Like A You Problem has already invested 200 hours into the game. He finds the game fun and compares arena PvP to Lost Ark. The only difference is that you don’t have standardized gear, but you need to upgrade your equipment. This may fail just like in Lost Ark.
Kharneth praises the gigantic 100v100 battles after 90 hours of gameplay.
Neoyoshi highlights that TRAHA is one of the best mobile games overall because it avoids auto-combat. However, auto-run to quests is still present. Since it can be played cross-platform, he plays it both on Steam and on his smartphone. He also praises a mini-game for collecting materials, where you need to correctly match images to succeed.
Overall, TRAHA seems to be a decent MMORPG for smartphones, as several reviews on Steam emphasize. We will test it in the coming days and might add it to our list of the best mobile MMORPGs.
What does TRAHA Global do poorly? In the negative reviews, much revolves around the fact that it is a mobile port and that one can spend a lot of money in the game. Upgrade materials are available for real money, and the premium battle pass for 60 dollars is said to be almost a must-buy.
Moreover, there is PvP in the open world, and it can happen that a low-level player is beaten up by stronger players. It is also said that there is a lot of time gating.
Given the negative reviews, we were surprised that TRAHA Global is getting so much attention. There are numerous videos on YouTube, and it is not doing too badly on Steam.
I myself watched the first 30 minutes of TRAHA and made a video about it:

What do you think of TRAHA Global? Have you tried it yourself or will you give it a shot? And how do you explain the great interest in the game?
If you want to try it yourself, you can simply download the MMORPG, as it is free to play. However, if you are waiting for a new, large MMORPG, you will find it in this list:
Streamer Natalia “Alinity” Mogollon has been on Twitch since 2013. She plays games like World of Warcraft and Apex Legends, has been involved in some scandals with her pets, and is known as a streamer who earns a lot of money with sexualized content on OnlyFans. Now she reveals in a stream that she has received an offer for a Netflix documentary about OnlyFans, but that also brings problems.
Around 2019, Alinity was involved in some controversies surrounding her pets: she threw her cat, kicked her dog, gave her cat vodka, and it became uncomfortable how close she was to her dog. The animal rights organization PETA called on Twitch to ban Alinity at the time.
Later, a “malfunction of her clothing” got her in trouble, and briefly showed her exposed breast, which resulted in a ban from Twitch.
In recent years, things have calmed down for Alinity: with 1.5 million followers and an average of over 4,700 viewers, she is still a solid presence on Twitch: Alinity is also well-connected with many streamers in the community. However, it seems to have quieted down around her a bit partly because she is doing well on the OnlyFans platform.

This pleases Alinity now: As Alinity excitedly announced in a Twitch stream on November 15, Netflix has apparently contacted her to see if she wants to participate in a documentary. It seems to be about the topic “OnlyFans”: Alinity publishes non-child friendly content on this website.
Just the idea that she could appear in a globally broadcast Netflix documentary seems to completely thrill the streamer. She can’t contain her excitement:
They contacted me to make a Netflix documentary. And I’m pretty freaking out. It’s huge, right? It’s huge!

So what is the problem? The problem with the endeavor is that everyone will then know how Alinity makes her money on OnlyFans, namely with sexualized content. The 34-year-old doesn’t seem to fully agree with that.
She says: She is already afraid of the whole thing. She knows that it would be a huge boost in notoriety, but she is also struggling with herself.
Am I afraid? Yes… but screw it. They want to show some of my content. Hmm, okay… I’m scared, I’m nervous and excited. So if this happens, it will be really huge.
Then Alinity thinks out loud about who actually finds out exactly how she earns her money on OnlyFans:
Well, my immediate family knows… my parents know, my brothers, my sisters. But my extended family doesn’t really know. So I’m a bit nervous. I probably need to talk to my mom to hear what she thinks about it. I don’t know. […] No, my grandparents are all dead. Thank God! No, I don’t mean it that way. I mean: Thank God they will never find out.
She explains then in detail that she doesn’t thank God for the fact that her grandparents are already dead, but thanks God that they will never have to find out what their granddaughter is doing online.
As she thinks about it more closely, she also realizes that the “parents of her classmates from high school” will find out how she makes her money. It seems that the whole option of becoming world-famous through Netflix doesn’t seem that appealing anymore.
The streamer Amouranth also makes a lot of money with sexualized content on OnlyFans. She once explained how her parents feel about it:
Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 is the sequel to one of the most successful battle royale games and is available for free on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, and PC (Steam & Battle.net launcher). MeinMMO gathers the key information about the release and content in this quick overview.
Update, 5:00 PM: Call of Duty: Warzone 2 is online, launching 2 hours earlier.
Additionally, Update 1.10 of Season 1 of CoD MW2 is now online. Check again before starting this evening if you have the current version on your drive. Otherwise, you will be surprised by a large update.
Call of Duty: Warzone was released in 2020 as an extension to CoD MW 2019 and created a real CoD hype. Never before had the franchise had so many players on consoles and PC.
However, the new Warzone will do things quite differently. What you need to know about the innovations and how the release and download look like, we will show you here in a quick overview.

How does it work with CoD MW2? Warzone 2.0 is an extension to Modern Warfare 2 and you start the game via the MW2 launcher – just like in Warzone 1. You can then choose which parts of the game you want to download to your drive and which ones you don’t.
Moreover, the progression systems of the two CoDs are linked again. You level up your account, weapons, and the battle pass in both games. Later, Warzone: Mobile will also join.

CoD Warzone 2.0: Gameplay & Map Al Mazrah
What kind of game is Warzone? Warzone uses the familiar battle royale principle and drops you with over 100 players on a large map. The play area shrinks over time until there is a big finale – only the last surviving team wins.
What else does it offer? Besides the battle royale, there is a DMZ mode. With this, CoD enters the extraction shooter market and attempts a gameplay principle similar to Escape from Tarkov.
What does the map look like? The new map is called Al Mazrah and offers a desert setting:

In July 2022, the adventure game Stray was released for PS4, PS5, and PC. Critics were delighted by the unusual indie game in which you control a cat through a cyberpunk world: Stray received ratings that summed up to 82% on Metacritic. The game has now even been nominated in 6 categories for ‘The Game Awards’ in December. But not everyone is pleased with that.
For which categories is Stray nominated? Stray is indeed nominated for the most important award at the Game Awards, for ‘Game of the Year.’ This puts it in line with titles like A Plague Tale: Requiem, God of War Ragnarök, Horizon Forbidden West, Xenoblade Chronicles 3, or Elden Ring, which everyone expects to win.
Stray is also nominated for Best Action Adventure and would have to get past God of War Ragnarök or Horizon Forbidden West.
In Art Design and ‘Best Game Direction,’ Stray again faces off against the giants in gaming, such as Elden Ring, Horizon Forbidden West, and God of War.
The greatest chances for an award for Stray are probably in ‘Best Indie Debut,’ where it competes with games like Vampire Survivors or Neon White. It is also nominated for ‘Best Indie Game,’ where it would have to get past Sifu and ‘Cult of the Lamb.’
Overall, Stray is nominated for 6 awards, which will be presented on December 9th at 1:30 AM German time.

“If Stray wins, I’ll lose all hope”
Who has something against it? Although Stray is liked by many, there were also individual voices on the web criticizing Stray being nominated for the Game Awards. One Twitter user wrote: ‘If Stray wins, I’ll completely lose all my hopes for the industry.’
The developers of Stray, Annapurna Interactive, reacted with an unbeatable GIF.
A cat licking its own behind is apparently meant to imply how little they care about this criticism.

Under the tweet, there are some voices saying: Of course, they would have voted for Stray; they loved the game and its uniqueness.
But even among Stray fans, many agree that while Stray was good, it wasn’t ‘Game of the Year’ good, as even cat lovers tend to prefer Elden Ring.
For a Game of the Year, Stray lacks replayability, but that’s probably the least of the cat’s concerns. Because it has enough to deal with itself and its self-care:
The German modder Nekatus has shown images on Twitter that he created using UE5. The ARK fans are excited, and he himself believes that ARK 2 could look even better.
Who is the modder? Nils Menne alias Nekatus is a well-known creator of mods for ARK: Survival Evolved. Just in June, the map he created, Fjördur, was officially added to the game.
Fjördur is not the first map by the talented modder that has been officially integrated into the game. Already in 2019, Studio Wildcard incorporated a map created by Nekatus called Valguero into the survival hit.
Currently, Nekatus is working on a new map named Svartalfheim, which is completely without flying creatures. Good news for MeinMMO author Dariusz Müller, as he believes that ARK is becoming too easy with flying creatures.
What kind of photos did Nekatus share? Nekatus shared some images on Twitter that he created with the Unreal Engine 5 – the same engine that ARK 2 is based on. He used an asset pack in the engine to recreate the famous Redwood forests from ARK: Survival Evolved.
We are embedding the post on Twitter where Nekatus shared the UE5 images:

Could ARK 2 really look like this? In the comments to his Twitter post, Nekatus was asked whether he believes that ARK 2 will actually look this good. He replied that the most recent trailer for ARK 2 was recorded in-game and that the finished game could look even better than his images ( via Twitter).
We are embedding the trailer that Nekatus refers to in his statement:

What do ARK fans say about the trailer? Fans of the survival hit express their admiration for the images.
What else does ARK 2 offer besides new graphics? While Nekatus creates stunningly beautiful images in Unreal Engine 5 and piques the curiosity of ARK fans for ARK 2, the highly anticipated survival title is expected to offer much more than just beautiful graphics.
In June, we learned through the Steam page of ARK 2 that the game is set to receive a ton of new gameplay elements. These include new building options, natural behavior of the game world, and cross-platform modding.
Phase 2 of Pre-Patch 10.0 for WoW: Dragonflight is active, allowing you to play the Evokers of the Dracthyr. However, some players are encountering bugs with the new class: they are simply unable to use abilities. The issue lies not with Blizzard, but with the installation and can be easily fixed.
What is the problem? Since November 16, the Dracthyr have been playable, along with numerous other features from Dragonflight – including new zones and dungeons. However, if you play an Evoker, your spells may not work.
The respective icons may be grayed out and cannot be clicked, as if WoW is simply not responding to your inputs. Complaints are coming in from various players, but they can be easily resolved.
This is the solution: The problem is related to addons. Addons affect many things in World of Warcraft, mostly interface functions. As a result, certain addons may block your skills.
If you don’t want to completely give them up, update all your addons, disable each one individually, and check if the error reoccurs. For updating, we recommend the WoWUp addon manager. If you want to be sure, simply disable all addons. The Discord has also found a solution for ElvUI users (via reddit):
execute the following command: “/console ActionButtonUseKeyDown 1” (without quotes)
then execute the command “/console empowerTapControls 1” (also without quotes)
activate the “Key Down” function in ElvUI
The “press and release” function is currently not working
You can find the best addons for World of Warcraft with us, but an update to Dragonflight is still pending – partly due to the related issues.
If you are wondering what we are actually doing on the Dragon Isles, there is a new cinematic to explain (Spoiler Alert!):

ElvUI and old addons block skills in WoW
The problem has actually been known for years, as a new patch usually means changes to World of Warcraft itself. Therefore, addons often need to be updated.
This usually happens well in advance, as addon authors test their projects on the PTR and adjust them. However, with Dragonflight, there is a complete overhaul of the interface, which is why certain addons simply do not work at all or only work to a limited extent. At least not yet.
Additionally, there are again talents for all classes, which in turn have an impact on certain macros and can also limit the functionality of addons. If you want to use corresponding addons, you may have to wait a while longer for them to be updated – if that is even possible this time.
For the moment, it is definitely safer to refrain from using addons if you do not want to face issues like missing spells. Maybe you will even get used to it and completely clean out your addon folder:

Modern Warfare 2 had the most successful release of a CoD premium title and wants to maintain its strong run. Can this be achieved with the announced seasonal contents? Leave a comment on the topic.
The partners of Pokémon GO are currently posting mysterious entries that promise a special surprise in the game for the end of November. Trainers are diligently speculating about what to expect. We at MeinMMO show you their assumptions.
What kind of partners are they? Niantic has a so-called partner program for Pokémon GO, in which they collaborate with well-known content creators like The Trainer Club, Trainer Tips, or Couple of Gaming.
Some of these partners of Pokémon GO are now posting mysterious teasers on Twitter that are causing quite a stir in the community. We show you what is suspected behind it.
What are these mysterious teasers?
What was posted exactly? In the evening of November 15, 2022, some prominent content creators, such as Couple of Gaming and Pokémon GO Hub, made a mysterious teaser. In all these posts, only two dates are visible: November 26 and 27. Additionally, these dates are marked as important with various symbols, and you should remember them.

Besides the dates, each of these posts is also accompanied by a small text. While in the post from Couple of Gaming you can read “To be continued”, Pokémon GO Hub already gives a more specific hint. It states: “Get ready.” This could indicate an event.

But what should the trainers prepare for? What does the community expect at the end of November? So far, there are no concrete answers to this. However, this does not prevent the Pokémon GO fan community from making their own considerations. We have summarized what events could be conceivable on this day.
These events are suspected by trainers behind the teaser
Even though the teasers from the content creators are very mysterious and provide little insight into the upcoming event, many trainers on social media have already shared their own speculations about what could be coming their way.
Mini-event for the Astral Eclipse
Release of Solgaleo & Lunala: Taking a look at the calendar, it quickly becomes clear that the specified weekend coincides with the Astral Eclipse event. For this reason, for many, the release of Solgaleo and Lunala is an option.
Trainers had already speculated about the announcement of the Astral Eclipse event and the continuation of the special research “A Cosmic Companion” would lead to a release of the two missing legendary Pokémon. Furthermore, it is also conceivable that players could finally receive more Cosmog that Niantic had promised them in the past.
Raid or research day: November 27 is also marked with question marks in the event overview and is supposed to last for 6 hours. This could thus indicate a possible raid or research day.
Release of Necrozma: Reddit user NightfighterZ is also convinced of the theory that it could be related to Solgaleo and Lunala. However, he suspects another Pokémon release as well. NightfighterZ can imagine that the legendary psychic Pokémon Necrozma could find its way into the game.
He writes (via reddit.com): “Astral Eclipse, what? Sounds like Necrozma to me. Its motive is to create an eclipse for Solgaleo and Lunala by extinguishing their light. Thematically it makes sense to end the season of light with its release by blocking the light.”
Pokémon Scarlet & Violet: Other trainers may instead imagine that the weekend is related to the release of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. Although these two games will already debut on November 18 on the Nintendo Switch, during the release weekend, there is the Safari Zone in Singapore in Pokémon GO.
It is therefore conceivable that Niantic simply postpones this by a few days and sets up a special mini-event. A hint in this direction is provided by the current findings of the Pokéminers, a group of dataminers who found avatar items in the game code related to Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.

Release of the Paldea region: In connection with the release of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, it would also be conceivable if Niantic thematizes the Paldea region. Thus, jontslayer on reddit speculates: “Scarlet/Violet as a link? Paldea research day?”
This isn’t far-fetched, as there was already a first glimpse of this region on November 5, where golden PokéStops and mysterious coins could be found throughout the game.
Furthermore, players were chased by Gierspenst, a monster from Generation 9. What kind of monster it is, we will show you in the following post:
Hint at the next season: Since the current Season of Light ends in November and thus a new season starts in December, this could also be an early hint at the theme of the new season.
In the past, Niantic has launched special surprise events shortly before the end of a season to prepare trainers for the new season. After the conclusion event at the GO Fest in August, players were able to encounter Sonnfel and Lunastein everywhere in the wild.
Further ideas for the last weekend of November
Special offers in the shop: Anyone who takes a closer look at the calendar will also notice that this date is the Black Friday weekend. During this time, many markets and online stores have special offers and discounts.
It is therefore also possible that Niantic has come up with a few specialties to align with Black Friday. Given that trainers have been complaining about the many secret changes and bad boxes over the past weeks, many players would surely appreciate strong boxes.
However, based on experiences from recent weeks, Reddit users suspect the opposite. Zaohod writes (via reddit.com): “It’s Black Friday weekend!! Niantic will surprise us with new boxes that are outrageously more expensive than now and filled with even more junk.”
Fulfilling long-awaited wishes: Other players think positively and hope for the implementation of community wishes. However, the release of a long-awaited Pokémon is also conceivable for many. For example, you can find the following comments (via reddit.com):
Dengarsw: “I will try to be super positive and say that remote trading will be enabled or Niantic will allow multiple special trades”
unicornsfearglitter: “Maybe it’s Kecleon!”
n00bzilla99: “Kecleon. It must be”
Keruthol: “This time it’s Kecleon, I’m sure!”
What awaits you in Pokémon GO at the end of November remains to be seen. If there are new updates regarding the event, you will find out from us at MeinMMO.
What are your speculations about what will happen on the last weekend of November in Pokémon GO? Are you hoping for a new Pokémon? Let us know here at MeinMMO in the comments and discuss this topic with other trainers.

Warhammer: Vermintide 2 Gameplay Trailer
Vermintide 2 achieved a massive player increase
How is Warhammer: Vermintide 2 currently performing on Steam? The reviews from players on Steam are very good. Out of a total of 68,549 ratings, 83% are positive (as of November 16, 2022, via Steam).
Recently, Warhammer: Vermintide 2 was in the top trends on Steam. In the last 30 days, the average number of players was 20,431. The game saw an increase of about 468.60%. The peak number of players during this period was 104,134.
In the meantime, the curve has flattened out a bit and is generally trending downwards. However, player numbers are still solid. On November 14, 2022, the peak was 49,552 people in the game and the 24-hour peak was 46,634 people (as of November 16, 2022, via Steamcharts).
More about games on Steam can be found here at MeinMMO:

In FIFA 23 you can carry out the World Cup online, but it’s not exactly realistic. Because 2 nations are just so good that everyone picks them.
Besides the contents for FUT, the new World Cup mode in FIFA 23 offers the opportunity to conduct the World Championship online. For this, you choose a nation and start directly in the round of 16 against a random online opponent in your region. If you win, you advance to the quarter-finals and so on.
But if you win a few games, it quickly becomes apparent that something must be wrong. You do not encounter the different 32 World Cup participants. No, if you progress in the World Cup mode, you almost exclusively see two teams: Brazil and France.
Here you can find out more about FIFA 23 on MeinMMO:
France and Brazil cause curious world championships
Why is everyone picking these nations? Probably many choose these teams because they have the supposedly best individual players. Both nations have absolute superstars like Mbappé (91), Kanté (87), Benzema (91), Neymar (91), Vinicius Jr. (86), Casemiro (90), and Alisson (90).
Of course, many simply want to play with the best players. Another reason could be that the World Cup mode finally introduced a fully licensed squad for the Brazilian national team. Previously, there was only a Brazil team with generic players among the normal national teams.
Here, a lethal_breach on reddit shows that he encountered Brazil three times on his way to the finals, which would be absolutely unrealistic in a real World Cup.

To get the MMO back on track, servers were merged in Diablo Immortal – globally, except in Europe. The reason is still unclear, but this means players here currently lack access to an event directly related to the merge, which offers significant rewards.
Diablo Immortal regularly provides players with events, battle passes, and extensive content updates to keep players engaged. However, it seems that many players disappeared after the initial hype, leaving servers empty.
To revive the game and to save “dead servers,” the developers conducted server mergers on November 9.
What kind of event is this? Immediately following the server merges, the Festival of Dawn started in all affected regions. The event lasts for 12 days from the time of the merge, so until November 21 here.
In various tasks, the entire server works together to unlock milestones and special rewards:
increased magic find for all at corresponding levels (up to +15 %)
gold, materials, legendary emblems, and random legendaries and set pieces, depending on your participation
an exclusive cosmetic portrait frame for the top of the event leaderboard
However, the event only occurs if servers have been merged, or there has been a server merge in the region. However, Europe is completely missing from the list of server merges by Blizzard. Here, there have been no mergers, nor do players have access to the event.
Legendary emblems are often a reward or compensation in Diablo Immortal. They are important for the coveted legendary gems:

No server transfers in Europe – problems in other regions
Why are there no transfers here? Although a time for European servers is indicated, no servers have been merged here. The YouTuber and Diablo Immortal expert DM: Diablo Immortal has provided two explanations (via YouTube):
European servers will be merged at a later point and currently face technical difficulties
the European servers do not need a merge at all, as each server has enough players to ensure a healthy interaction
Update: We now know that a merger of the EU servers is also planned. On November 23, after maintenance, merges are set to occur. The servers El’Druin, Tabri, Zolthrax, and Qual-Kehk will be merged. The event is set to start immediately afterward.
What is the problem with the transfers? After the transfers, clans were completely dissolved due to a bug. As some players report, it is partly even impossible to reform the clans (via reddit).
The developers provided players with compensation, however, fans felt “offended” by this. Through in-game mail, they received two legendary emblems, one legendary item, crafting materials, and 6 normal gems, along with the note: “I advise you and your team to gather again to save Sanctuary.”
According to some players, no compensation would have been better than this, although the free item apparently represented a considerable improvement for some. Recently, however, there has been ongoing conflict between active players and the studio behind Diablo Immortal:
