In action-packed games like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2, high frame rates are especially important for smooth gameplay. If you want to check your frame rate, there are various methods to display your FPS.
Basically, you can display the FPS in several ways. However, not every method is suitable for every player. For example, there are differences between console and PC or between Battle.net and Steam.
The easiest way is to display the FPS directly through the game.
Open the menu in the game
Go to “Settings” then “Interface”
There you will find the tab “Telemetry”
Activate the “FPS counter”
Steam
If you want to display the FPS not just in Call of Duty, but in all your Steam games, the Steam overlay is recommended.
Start Steam
At the top left, you will find “Steam” and “Settings”
Then select “In-Game”
Now you can choose where you want the FPS counter to be displayed and what color it will be
Windows
You can also display the FPS, as well as a few other useful information about your CPU, GPU, or RAM usage through Windows. This feature is available from Windows 10 and is called the Windows Game Bar.
Press the “Windows key” and “G” on your keyboard at the same time
Then a handful of tiles will pop up, for example for sound settings
Navigate to the “Performance” tile and click on the pin to fix the tile
If you want to make further adjustments, you need to click the button left of the pin.
A lot has changed in the gameplay of Modern Warfare 2. You can find all the info in the video:

Are there other ways to display the FPS?
In addition to the methods listed above, there are many other ways you can display the frame rate. For example, through your graphics card or software. Just try out several options until you find a solution you like.
Console players should also check their hardware. Many modern TVs and monitors offer the ability to display the FPS through the device. However, this varies from model to model. So it’s best to check the user manual.
The release of Battlefield 2042 was marred by crises and it has now been almost a year. The developers have now presented plans for the future and announced testing opportunities.
Battlefield 2042 was released on November 19, 2021, but it had a rough start: It was met with criticism – for errors, bugs, and new features that didn’t work. This launch is now nearly a year old.
The developers have now reached out with a development update: Season 2, which received cautiously positive feedback, is coming to an end and Season 3 is set to bring further changes.
The exact start date is still unknown, but Season 3 is expected to be fully presented in November. It is already clear that Battlefield 2042 wants to try once again to attract players for the occasion.
So Battlefield 2042 will come to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate with the start of Season 3 and will also be available for EA Play members. Players with the appropriate memberships will be able to jump into the game.
Additionally, there will be free periods for Battlefield 2042 for all players who want to check it out:
On Xbox consoles from December 1 to December 4, 2022
On Steam from December 1 to December 5
And on PlayStation from December 16 to December 23
Furthermore, the developers have already hinted at the upcoming content.
What will Battlefield 2042 bring in the upcoming season?
What’s coming: As early as summer 2022, the developers announced that the game would return to the old, more popular class system. This will be implemented in Season 3.
The specialists will be categorized into the classes “Assault”, “Support”, “Engineer”, and “Recon”. Each class will receive class-specific equipment and gadgets, as well as certain weapon proficiencies. This way, each class will have its gameplay advantages. Recons, for example, will be able to steady their aim better with sniper rifles than other classes.

Furthermore, Season 3 will bring more vault weapons back, such as the XM8 from Bad Company 2 and the A91 from Battlefield 3. More will come during Season 3 and Season 4 – as it has also been announced that more content for Battlefield 2042 is in the works, with pre-production for 2023 already started.
Work is also being done on the maps. Enhanced versions of the launch maps Kaleidoscope, Renewal, and Orbital are expected, as well as reworks of “Manifest” and “Breakaway”.
For example, in Manifest, flags are expected to be brought closer together to allow quicker access to battle. Moreover, there will be better cover, and lighting and visibility will also be improved. Breakaway has been extensively adjusted and some POIs on the map have changed.
In Season 3, Battlefield 2042 will also introduce a new specialist, a new battle pass, and a smaller, tight map for infantry, featuring a new location.
More detailed information about Season 3 is expected to arrive in November.
What do you think of the new changes? Are the testing phases something for you? Will you jump back into Battlefield 2042? Let us know in the comments! And you can find strong shooter alternatives here.

29-year-old Abe Chung and 31-year-old Wendy Luo got married on November 8. This wouldn’t be unusual if the two weren’t active on “BaboAbe” and “Natsumiii” on Twitch and had live-streamed the wedding to thousands of viewers.
Who are the two? Natsumiii and Abe both belong to the environment of the influencer group OfflineTV, which also includes well-known content creators like Pokimane, LilyPichu, and DisguisedToast.
Natsumiii originally gained fame with her content on LoL, but now she mostly streams Valorant, Lost Ark, and Minecraft for her nearly 525,000 followers. Her husband Abe has nearly 284,000 followers, and he is also primarily active in Valorant and Minecraft.
This clip also shows that Twitch doesn’t always have to be about scandals and drama:

Twitch: One of the most popular clips shows a super sweet scare moment
Natsumiii and Abe get married, all fans are invited
What kind of wedding was it? After Natsumiii and Abe kept the exact date of their wedding a secret at first, the bride-to-be surprised her followers on November 7 with an announcement on Twitter: The wedding would take place the next day, and everyone was invited to watch live on Twitch (via Twitter).
How did the stream go? The wedding itself took place in a festive hall with the couple’s close family and friends. However, thousands of viewers followed the ceremony virtually through Natsumiii’s Twitch account.
Twitch itself – in the form of the official Twitter account of the platform – also couldn’t help but congratulate Natsumiii and Abe: “Thank you for sharing this special moment with us,” it says.
What a lovely couple 💜@Natsumiii, thank you for sharing such a special moment with us and thousands of our closest friends. pic.twitter.com/nASm3hPuav
For the subsequent wedding celebration, however, the cameras were turned off.
This is how the wedding was received: More than 60,000 people watched as Natsumiii and Abe exchanged their vows. While the two exchanged their wedding vows at the altar, the chat on Twitch was flooded with heartwarming emotes and good wishes for the newlyweds.
For Natsumiii and Abe, who usually have an average of 2,250 and 650 viewers, respectively, this was likely not just a very special day, but also a huge success (via sullygnome).
A clip of the wedding on the LivestreamFail subreddit received more than 5,300 upvotes, and the clip itself has over 241,600 views (as of 11/10/2022). In the comments, in addition to numerous congratulations, there are discussions about whether weddings on Twitch could become a new trend.
“Wedding meta on Twitch is a meta that I could support,” writes a Reddit user (via reddit).
In another thread it says, “60,000 viewers for streamers who usually reach around 1,500 viewers. Yup, all streamers will now live stream their weddings.” (via reddit)
Other users point out, however, that not all streamers have such a illustrious circle of friends with millions of followers. Therefore, a wedding alone is not a guaranteed success without the right guest list.
Two streamers invite to the wedding and the prominence of Twitch and YouTube shows up
Who was present? When two popular streamers get married, the inner circle of friends includes well-known personalities with millions of followers. Thus, the guest list of the couple reads like a who’s who of the big names of YouTube and Twitch.
The role of the cameraman was taken by none other than Jeremy “DisguisedToast” Wang, another popular member of OfflineTV.
Among the guests were also other prominent personalities from Twitch and YouTube. The YouTubers Rachell “Valkyrae” Hofstetter and Leslie “Fuslie” Fu were present as bridesmaids. Guests included Imane “Pokimane” Anys and Ludwig Ahgren.

Natsumiii’s maid of honor was the influencer and voice actress Lily Ki, better known as LilyPichu, who announced in July 2022 that she would be leaving Twitch and streaming exclusively on YouTube. If we believe the tradition of bouquet tossing, a wedding on YouTube might be coming soon.
When normal people watch a series on Netflix, like the League of Legends series Arcane , it usually sounds pretty lame: chips, couch, crumbs. But with actor Henry Cavill (The Witcher, Superman), it somehow sounds like a fantastic experience, says MeinMMO author Schuhmann.
This is how Henry Cavill was 10 years ago: Henry Cavill is on a roll. Back then, it was hard for people like me to even remember his face. Moreover, he proved to have a pretty bad choice of roles.
Cavill is a 1.85 m tall British actor. For years, he seemed colorless, with his rugged chin and perfect posture. As if someone had ordered a “male lead for action movies” from a catalog. He resembled other actors like Matt Bomer (White Collar) or the, in my opinion, much cooler Timothy Olyphant (Justified), making it hard for Cavill at the beginning of his acting career to stand out from the crowd.
He had a first breakthrough in 2007 with a role in the series: “The Tudors”. However, Cavill then repeatedly faced bad luck, losing roles in major productions to Robert “Sparkles in the Dark” Pattinson in his twenties: both in Twilight and in Harry Potter, Pattinson outshone him.
Ultimately, Cavill was cast as an “action hero” when he was about 30, but he remained somewhat colorless and unlucky:
In 2012, he got the leading role in the thriller “The Cold Light of Day” – the film has a 4% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and even though Bruce Willis is in it and I have seen it multiple times, I can’t remember Cavill.
Cavill played the mythical hero Theseus in “Immortals” (2012), which was like an assembly line – the real heroes in the film were the monsters and their special effects.
Not even in Superman: Man of Steel (2013) did Cavill stand out much, with his flawless chin. Even though it was certainly an important career step for him.
Since the nerds love Cavill, his career is also on the rise
This is how it’s been for him since then: But that changed gradually over the past few years, especially in the last 5 years he has been on a roll.
For Cavill has proven in interviews to be someone who is unashamedly into science fiction and fantasy, who loves painting miniatures in his free time, tinkering on his PC, and can discuss the great fantasy epics for hours. Fantasy and science fiction fans worldwide immediately embraced him.
Somehow it has become cool to like Cavill.
His career has been on the rise. He played Superman more frequently (and better), landed the lead role in the Netflix series „The Witcher“ (2019 – 81 % Rotten Tomatoes), and got to beat up Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible (2018 – 97 % Rotten Tomatoes).
As a seemingly flawless figure with something dark, Cavill works significantly better than as a shining hero. Just like that role, Anthony Starr is rising to the top tier as Homelander (The Boys).

Arcane: Season 2 in the teaser
BBC Reporter recommends Arcane on Netflix – Cavill falls in love immediately
This is what he says about Arcane now: In an interview with the BBC regarding his new film “Enola Holmes 2”, Cavill was asked by interviewer Ali Plumb if he had seen Arcane yet. Because Plumb had recommended the series to him, thinking he would surely like it.
Plumb asks: “Did you enjoy Arcane as much as I told you you would.”
Yes, I really enjoyed it. I’m so glad you recommended it to me. When you told me about Arcane, I got home and told Natalie: A guy from work told me that I have to watch Arcane. And she said: Oh, I’ve heard a lot of good things about it. So we started with Arcane and couldn’t stop. It got really late, and Natalia said: We should go to bed now. And I said: No, no, no, we should definitely keep watching. And she said: Alright, you’re right. It was fantastic.”
Normally, one would assume that a Hollywood star like Cavill spends time in the gym or at events, networking, or preparing for new roles.
But apparently, he has the luck to just sit in front of the television for 6 hours, and he has a woman by his side who shares his hobby and watches with him.

Netflix has released a 2-minute trailer for the new series Dragon Age: Absolution. In the series, you will hear many well-known actors and voices that you already know from other video games, movies, and series. MeinMMO editor Benedict Grothaus is over the moon.
What game is it about? The Dragon Age series is a popular RPG series by BioWare (Anthem) and is considered their flagship in terms of game franchises alongside Mass Effect. The first installment, Origins, was released in November 2009.
In the meantime, however, Netflix is planning a series based on the game that will even premiere on December 9, 2022.
Watch the full first trailer here:

The first trailer for Dragon Age: Absolution
What kind of series is this? Dragon Age: Absolution follows the story of the young elf Miriam, who grew up as a slave in the mage state of Tevinter. Together with a group of mismatched adventurers, she is tasked with stealing a valuable artifact.
I love Dragon Age. Origins is still among my top 3 of the best games of all time, and I have also happily devoted many dozens of hours to Inquisition. The fantasy world is well-crafted, a perfect mix of dark, “gritty” world and bright fantasy.
Accordingly, I was already looking forward to Absolution when the first teaser was released in June. I am now even more excited after seeing the first real trailer.
With Dragon Age, BioWare has managed to create a world where magic and dragons are something almost everyday yet still special. Particularly, Tevinter has always been that fantastic place that I would love to explore in more detail. A land full of mages with quite archaic structures sounds… wild.
Unlike Arcane, Dragon Age: Absolution will only have 6 episodes.
In the comments on YouTube, some users have already criticized that the style of Absolution resembles those that already exist on Netflix a bit too closely. Arcane particularly excelled with its strong animations. Nevertheless, I am already very much looking forward to the new series.
Although I have probably played more hours of LoL than Dragon Age, I would argue that no other game has shaped me as much as Dragon Age: Origins – except perhaps Gothic. Therefore, Absolution is even more important to me than Arcane. It’s like I’m about to see a piece of my childhood and youth that I haven’t known yet.
However, whether Dragon Age: Absolution will start as strongly as Arcane seems unlikely to me, given the accomplishments of the LoL series:
She only learned afterward that other participants had also been injured, Chechik stated.
How was I supposed to know that I would be the one to break my back after watching a group of people do the same thing? Not knowing that two people had been injured the day before? So don’t blame me, because I’m the victim here. Right? I was at an event, and the last thing I would think is: “Hey, this pit is not set up properly.” No! I said: “Hey, I’m ready to look for my friend and throw her off this platform.” That’s all I thought. I didn’t think beyond that.
Twitch colleague Asmongold advises to sue
What does Asmongold say? Chechik receives support not only from her fans but also from some other influencers. The well-known MMORPG streamer Asmongold had already reacted to the revelation of her pregnancy a few days ago.
His first reaction was a shocked exclamation: “That’s just damn awful.” The streamer believes it is unfair to hold Chechik responsible for the situation:
I don’t think it’s fair to criticize someone for something they did or didn’t do… she wouldn’t have been injured if it hadn’t been grossly negligent… of course, people can be particularly careful, but is it really her fault that she wasn’t particularly careful? It’s their fault [the organizers] because they didn’t follow the safety protocol.
Asmongold also has a suspicion as to why people are trying to blame Chechik for her accident: These people probably dislike her because of her past as an adult film actress, according to the streamer.
For Asmongold, the case is evidently clear: “As I said, I think she should sue Twitch.” This advice can also be found in numerous comments on the topic.
It remains unclear whether the responsibility lies more with Twitch, the organizer of the convention, or with Lenovo, the organizer of the event. Both parties have not yet commented on the situation.
What legal steps Adriana Chechik will take or has already taken is not yet known.

The streamer Adriana Chechik (30) broke her back in two places at TwitchCon in San Diego on 10/09 when she jumped from a PR attraction of Lenovo Legion into a foam pit. Since the end of October, she has been back on Twitch, and now she gave her viewers an update on her health condition.
What kind of accident happened at TwitchCon?
Lenovo Legion hosted an event at TwitchCon where Twitch streamers were supposed to push each other into a foam pit.
It went horribly wrong when Adriana Chechik won her match and joyfully jumped into the foam-filled pit: She broke her back in two places.
In the hospital, Adriana Chechik additionally learned that she had been pregnant at the time of the accident. In a comeback stream on October 29 she explained that she could not keep the child due to the surgeries following the accident.
Since her return to Twitch, Chechik has been hosting more frequent, typically shorter streams. Now she brought her viewers up to date, defended herself against accusations – and showed her physical therapy in the stream.
“I’m already tired from this”
What is the current status? In a stream on November 7, Chechik updated her viewers on her current condition. She showed the harsh reality after a serious injury: Chechik appeared in her orthopedic corset and jogging pants, took a short break to do some physical therapy.
While Chechik was leaning against the wall with one hand, she turned to her viewers and explained: “I’m tired from this. It’s just that, I’m already tired from this.”
How is Chechik doing? After about 15 minutes in the stream, Chechik revealed that she had a numbness in her right leg. Apparently, she will still have to undergo further surgeries, an appointment with her neurosurgeon in LA is supposed to take place later this week.
How is Chechik’s streaming comeback being received? Many viewers are impressed by Chechik’s bravery and wish her a speedy recovery. Journalist Jake Lucky also shared clips from her stream and wrote that one must admire the “grind.”

But not all reactions are so positive: On Twitter, there are also derogatory comments that do not want to recognize it as an achievement to “sit in your chair,” accusing Chechik of exploiting her accident for attention.
Some viewers of the streamer also seem to think that she bears at least some responsibility for her accident. When asked why she did not notice that the pit was not sufficiently secured, Chechik responded with an analogy:
Let me be honest with you: when you get into a car, you don’t think that something in the car could be broken. When you get on a plane, you don’t think that something could be broken.
People do something every day. They go to trampoline parks, they go to climbing parks. And you’re at an event where you’re watching other people. I stood in line for 40 minutes and watched other people. I filmed them, and everyone came out fine.

I said: “Hey, I’m ready to look for my friend and throw her off this platform.” That’s all I thought. I didn’t think beyond that.
Twitch colleague Asmongold advises to sue
What does Asmongold say? Chechik receives support not only from her fans but also from some other influencers. The well-known MMORPG streamer Asmongold had already reacted to the revelation of her pregnancy a few days ago.
His first reaction was a shocked exclamation: “That’s just damn awful.” The streamer believes it is unfair to hold Chechik responsible for the situation:
I don’t think it’s fair to criticize someone for something they did or didn’t do… she wouldn’t have been injured if it hadn’t been grossly negligent… of course, people can be particularly careful, but is it really her fault that she wasn’t particularly careful? It’s their fault [the organizers] because they didn’t follow the safety protocol.
Asmongold also has a suspicion as to why people are trying to blame Chechik for her accident: These people probably dislike her because of her past as an adult film actress, according to the streamer.
For Asmongold, the case is evidently clear: “As I said, I think she should sue Twitch.” This advice can also be found in numerous comments on the topic.
It remains unclear whether the responsibility lies more with Twitch, the organizer of the convention, or with Lenovo, the organizer of the event. Both parties have not yet commented on the situation.
What legal steps Adriana Chechik will take or has already taken is not yet known.
In our class guide to Warhammer: Vermintide 2, we provide tips and tricks on how to play Bardin Goreksson, Kerillian, Victor Saltzbrand, Markus Kruber, and Sienna Fuegonasus.
Update from November 10, 2022: We have added all available premium classes of the characters with brief tips. After 2 strong promotions, where Vermintide 2 was available at a lower price or even for free, the game has become a top trend on Steam.
Vermintide is a brutally difficult game, in which you can invest hundreds of hours at increasing difficulty. Whether you are clearing beginner levels at the lowest difficulty or playing as a champion: you must be able to play your class correctly and learn.
Over 100,000 players are now playing the action game, more than ever before. Here you will find information about all playable characters and their specializations with brief tips on how to play them correctly.
Bardin is the dwarf of the group. He drinks and stinks and is always at odds with the elf Kerillian about who kills more rats and northerners (quote: “Whatever the elf kills, I kill it more!”).
Level 1 – Ranger Veteran
Specializing in ranged combat and deception, Bardin uses his skills as a ranger to support his group.
When you use your ability “Retreat”, you disappear into a smoke bomb. You will generally not be attacked by enemies again, and can safely revive or heal allies.
Elite enemies drop ammunition upon death. The amount depends on the selected weapon. Use the ammunition to be even more effective with your increased ammunition capacity and faster reload rate.
The Ranger Veteran is a group supporter and plays best as fire protection from a distance. A focus on improved healing and revival is recommended.
Level 7 – Ironbreaker
With heavy armor and shield, Bardin as an Ironbreaker is trained to withstand massive hordes of enemies in deep cave systems.
You can completely ignore attacks with your passive ability. With the right timing, you can block even strong attacks from bosses for the group.
Use your ability “Impenetrable” when you are surrounded and your team needs help. For the next seconds, all human-sized units will focus on you, and your group can deal with them in peace.
Only the Ironbreaker can use flamethrowers. With them, you can hold off or kill many enemies. But beware, you will die immediately if you overheat!
Make sure nothing happens to your group and always stand at the front. But don’t run too far ahead and think about attacks from behind.
Level 12 – Slayer
With two axes, the dwarf becomes a berserker and carves a path through the enemies. He has sworn to fall only in battle with an overwhelmingly powerful foe.
The only class that does not carry a ranged weapon. Plan your two melee weapons accordingly.
Your ability “Jump” is available very often. Use it frequently to reposition yourself in fights, to escape, to avoid attacks, and to increase your attack speed.
The Slayer is a melee fighter, but not very robust. Remember to have a tank in the group with whom you can coordinate.
Premium Class: Outcast Engineer
To play the Outcast Engineer, you need to purchase the “Outcast Engineer” DLC. Unlike Bardin’s other classes, the Engineer relies on the use of his self-built weapons, especially his deadly Gatling gun.
You should maximize the use of your steam-powered crank weapon. Use it whenever possible to quickly reset the one-minute cooldown. Elixirs do not help you here, as they do with other classes.
As an engineer, you have access to stronger bombs and the ability to carry more of them. Coordinate with the team so that you are more likely to be supplied with grenades to maximize your effectiveness.
Always choose the talent “Improved Power” at level 15. It increases the efficiency of all your firearms that you rely on as an engineer.
You enhance the ranged combat of all nearby allies. The engineer combines excellently with the Waystalker (Kerillian) and the Bounty Hunter (Saltzbrand).
Razer has introduced a new mouse for MMOs with the Razer Naga V2 Pro. MeinMMO has tested the gaming mouse for you and reveals for whom the mouse might be worthwhile.
With the Naga series, Razer has now launched several mice in its portfolio aimed at MMO players and those who want to remain flexible in their games. With the Naga V2 Pro, a new version of the Naga Pro has been introduced. Razer itself writes: “The MMO King is back.”
I already tested the Razer Naga Pro for MeinMMO in 2020 and explain in the test whether the improved relaunch is worth it. Because while the mouse still looks identical from the outside, a lot has changed inside.
Who tested it?
I have a penchant for gaming mice and privately own over 20 gaming mice. I have been testing hardware for our readers at MeinMMO since 2019. Mice are among my absolute favorites when it comes to peripherals for PC and console, alongside gaming headsets and keyboards, and I know my stuff accordingly.
The Naga V2 Pro was provided to me by Razer for testing.

Contents, Design, and Build
What does the package include? The Razer Naga V2 Pro comes with three interchangeable side plates, a USB receiver for wireless connection, a USB extension cable for the adapter, and a USB charging cable for the mouse.
This allows you to use the mouse both wirelessly and wired on your computer. Additionally, there is a comprehensive English manual and the mandatory Razer stickers.
How is the mouse built? The model features a black design:
On the top of the mouse are the main buttons, with the four-way mouse wheel in between. There are also two small switches on the top to adjust the DPI or mouse wheel.
On the left side, you can choose between three side parts: one attachment with 12 buttons, a module with 6 buttons, and a third with 2 buttons. These can be magnetically attached to the mouse.
The model features a rough surface with no rubberized sides. Additional grip tape is also not available.
When the mouse is connected to the computer, the Razer snake symbol lights up along with certain buttons on the mouse. For example, the 12-button module is fully illuminated.
Overall, the Razer Naga V2 Pro feels hefty and almost a bit bulky. This is especially noticeable compared to other mice.
Processing
The Razer Naga V2 Pro feels stable and high-quality. This is also due to the high weight of 134 grams. With this weight, the mouse is significantly heavier than competitor mice: Logitech, Roccat, and SteelSeries are now opting for mice that weigh less than 100 grams.
In the shake test, only the mouse wheel can be heard, and the mouse does not creak when pressed. What slightly disturbs me, however, is the fact that you can see fingerprints or slightly wet fingers directly on the surface of the mouse.
The mouse without the left side. Here you can attach modules.
For the interchangeable side modules, Razer uses magnets encased in plastic. Additionally, a small plastic peg ensures that the piece sits securely on the mouse. In the long run, this combination of plastic and magnets could become a weak point in the processing if the modules are changed regularly.
Software
As usual for Razer products, the Razer Naga V2 Pro relies on “Razer Synapse.” The software is very comprehensive, and many components can be installed additionally. For my personal taste, the software is cluttered and offers too many functions when I just want to configure my mouse.
Razer Synapse is quite cluttered but does what it should.
The software can also be used as a guest; you do not have to register for the Naga V2 Pro.
On the next page, you will find my assessment of the weight, ergonomics, and features of the mouse. In the final conclusion, I will also explain for whom the mouse is worthwhile and what (still) might speak against a purchase.

League of Legends was released in 2009 and has evolved tremendously since then. Currently, there are over 160 champions. But which champions were actually introduced first? We at MeinMMO will tell you.
Who were the first champions? Even during the testing phases of League of Legends, players had a choice between different champions. This initial roster includes these 17:
Alistar
Annie
Ashe
Fiddlesticks
Jax
Kayle
Master Yi
Morgana
Nunu
Ryze
Sion
Sivir
Soraka
Teemo
Tristana
Twisted Fate
Warwick
So, they started with a rough selection of about four champions per position, although the meta was quite different back then. The position of the jungler did not exist. The game was played in a 2/1/2 split and it was not uncommon to choose Smite with all five champions to kill both minions on the lane and the creatures in the jungle.
A spectacular video about League of Legends has now 138 million views – Shows how huge LoL is
LoL launched with 40 champions at release
Which champions were added before release? The first to be added in April 2009 were the two champions Zilean and Singed. In May, Evelynn, Tryndamere, and Twitch followed.
LoL launched with a total of 40 champions. The aforementioned 23 and the following 17:
First champion ever was not part of the first line-up
Who was the first champion ever designed? Surprisingly, the oldest champion in the universe is Singed. Although he appeared later than the first 17, the concept for him was already established earlier, as the developers revealed.
Right after Singed, work began on Twisted Fate and Annie.
Were you surprised by the champions from the first line-up? Which champion was missing at release but is now a real icon in the game? Feel free to write it in the comments.
By the way, there are not only special champions but also special skins in the game:
In Red Dead Redemption 2, you can ride a horse through the game. However, one user found that not “real” enough and created a setting for himself. But he can’t really play or ride with it anymore. MeinMMO explains what he has done.
In Red Dead Redemption 2, a horse is an important means of transportation that allows you to move quickly across the vast world map. However, that was apparently too boring for one user.
The Indian YouTuber Teenenggr has already carried out dozens of crazy creative projects and tests a lot with games. Now he has tried Red Dead Redemption 2.

YouTuber converts gaming PC, the result is quite crazy
What exactly does the YouTuber do? At the beginning of the short video, the YouTuber rides leisurely through the snowy landscape. But apparently, that is too dull for him. Because in the following minutes, he begins to modify his gaming setup.
He mounts a motor and corresponding metal rods to his desk. He links this with a self-written code: Whenever he makes a movement with the horse in Red Dead Redemption 2, the movement is also transmitted to his desk.
The whole action then runs a little out of control. Because in the end, the YouTuber has to glue the keyboard and monitor to the desk so that nothing flies towards him. This is probably more impressive for many than a YouTuber playing CS:GO with absurd 4,000 FPS.
You can watch the entire roughly 4-minute video directly on YouTube:

How does the community react? The viewers are excited and amused by the absurd setup. Some say they wouldn’t want to be his neighbors when he is riding through the snow-covered landscape again.
Another user humorously comments on YouTube: “The fact that his monitor is still alive is a true miracle.” Another adds: “For content like this, I pay my internet bill.” A third mocks that the YouTuber must be testing the durability of monitors for sure.
More creative projects: By the way, Teenenggr has developed other interesting projects. Once, he made a motorcycle feel more realistic. For that, he also used a motor and other technology. The result is also a bit strange. You should read it yourself what the YouTuber has done:
From former developers of the sci-fi MMORPG EVE Online and veterans from EA Games, the new studio Arctic Theory was founded. They are working on an MMO that forces players to work together towards a large goal.
What kind of game is this? The MMO that the new Icelandic studio is working on is currently titled Annex. Although the game is set to enter Early Access by the end of 2023, this is not the final name, as confirmed by the developers.
Annex takes place in a post-apocalyptic scenario, where the last civilization has long fallen, and nature has reclaimed large parts of the formerly modern world. The overarching goal for all players is to build a new civilization.
And everyone is involved, whether they want to be or not. All players cooperate in a large shared world that is gradually influenced and improved by the actions of large player groups as well as by each individual.
The MMO features the following:
Shared world that changes through all players
A common goal for all players
Resources and crafting play a major role
Logistics and transport of these resources are also important
From small huts to democratically run industrial cities, you should be able to build everything
Combat is not the focus
What is unclear? Regarding the actual gameplay of Annex, Arctic Theory is currently withholding information. It is not known whether the game will be played in first or third person, or whether you will need to pay a one-time, ongoing, or no fee at all.
Also, what role combat plays is still unclear. While it is stated that it will not be in the foreground, we do not yet know whether you can fight at all or if there is no PvP.
Details about the shared world and how many players actually contribute to it are also missing. A mega-server model like in Guild Wars 2 could be conceivable here, but nothing has been confirmed yet.
Some of the developers previously worked on the space MMORPG EVE Online:

EVE Online: Uprising Expansion – Trailer
Annex impresses with developer veterans
What makes the project exciting? Even though we know little about Annex so far, the team at Arctic Theory working on the game is quite experienced. Mainly former developers from EVE Online are on board. The founder of the studio, Matthías Guðmundsson, for example, previously worked for over 15 years as a lead programmer and technical director for the MMORPG.
But there are also some veterans from EA Games, like Snorri Sturluson, who worked there for over 4 years as a senior software engineer. And this has already convinced not just fans. In a first funding round in March 2022, the MMO managed to secure 2 million dollars from Brunnur Ventures. But that should not be the end.
The team is currently looking for a publishing partner who will bring the game to market. Who that will be is still uncertain.
When will the game be released? This will still take a few years. While Arctic Theory aims to enter Early Access with Annex by the end of 2023, it should be a true Early Access experience. The developers want fans to be able to influence how Annex develops as early as possible.
A final release will therefore happen no earlier than 2024, and probably later. It is also still completely unknown on which platforms, besides PC, Annex will be released.
What do you think of Annex? How do you feel about the concept? Or do you think it is still too early to make a meaningful statement about the title? Do you like the idea of working on a large project with all other players? Please share your thoughts in the comments here at MeinMMO.
Still in May of this year, The Division 2 launched with Season 9 and a good story. This fueled hope and the small flame in the hearts of many fans. But now developer Ubisoft is once again falling into the familiar behavior pattern. Season 11 and the new content for Year 5 are now all coming in Spring 2023.
Things just won’t go smoothly with Tom Clancy’s – The Division 2. It seemed so promising for new and especially regular content in the cover shooter mid-year. After a long period without anything happening, Season 9 finally brought an engaging story into the game.
Back then, the developer announced that The Division 2 would be regularly supplied with fresh content as a live-service game. A roadmap for 2022 supported the ambitious plans.
The targets from Season 10 in The Division 2.
Season 10 was planned for August and Season 11 for December 2022. However, these dates could not be met.
The launch of Season 10 “The Price of Power” was pushed back by a month – thus it only came into the game on September 13.
Due to a problem with the voice system after one of the recent updates, both the hunt for “General Anderson” and the clothing event of the current Season 10 are now pushed to December. It was supposed to start next week.
Thus, Season 11 will not start on time either. It will, if everything goes according to plan this time, go live in Spring 2023.
This also includes the new PvE game mode “Descent” with rogue-lite elements. It was also supposed to start in December.
The updated roadmap from The Division 2 for Season 10, 11, and Year 5.
New roadmap generates frustration among players: The continuous flow of new content and updates continues to be sluggish in The Division 2. Player Bertram Hein on Twitter makes a direct comparison with the live service game Destiny 2.
Imagine you have a live-service game that is worse than the live service of Destiny 2. At least Bungie still does [weapon] reskins and recycles old content [from Destiny 1] to make “new” content… [Division 2] doesn’t even make “new” content. And yes, I know they added 2 new game modes. But I mean 2 game modes in 3 years, and Seasons 1 to 4 literally ran twice.
frustrated Division 2 player Bertram Hein via Twitter
Meanwhile, the developer also has to deal with many old and new problems of the cover shooter.
The Dark Zone, the PvP area in Division 2, is plagued by an “invisible glitch”.
The set “Activated Directive” does not always drop hollow point ammunition correctly for team members.
Delta errors in activities or the open world still plague the game today.
Additionally, a “language switch bug” grants infinite SHD levels and materials.
How long the response times at support for the game can be has been shown by a recent game bug. A weapon was available for free in the game for several days after the weekly reset. Players acquired it thousands of times and resold it for credits. Or, they dismantled it to push their expertise and know-how levels with the materials.
At least Ubisoft continues to commit to developing content for Year 5 and for The Division 2. Agents can therefore expect updates into next year, even though they, following this announcement, now have a nasty aftertaste.
The current story still promises some excitement. Soon the main goal of the hunt for “General Anderson” will begin. Players will have to find the leader of the True Sons. He is trying to negotiate peace with the Black Tusk in order to then unite forces against The Division.
What can players expect in 2023? Year 5 will then include a complete season reset, where players will start again from Season 1. However, this is not meant to be a restart of the already known old seasons. With Year 5, the new PvE game mode “Descent” with rogue-lite elements will also go live.
Once these contents are launched, players can expect a livestream event with the developer team of The Division 2 and presumably a more detailed outlook on upcoming content.
What do you think of the sudden delay of the current Season 10 contents? Are you surprised or did you already expect Ubisoft would not be able to keep the dates? Feel free to let us know in the comments how you feel about this.

The 20 best counters against Ursaring in Pokémon GO in the guide. We show you the best attackers and movesets. With this, you can defeat Ursaring during the Community Day in November in the 4-star raids.
What kind of Pokémon is Ursaring? You can find Ursaring on November 12, 2022, in Pokémon GO in the special 4-star raids. It is the evolution of Teddiursa and can evolve into Ursaluna.
You will find the 4-star raids coinciding with the Community Day with Teddiursa. Here in the overview, we show you the 20 best counters with movesets.

Weaknesses of Ursaring: This Pokémon is of the Normal type and has weaknesses against Fighting. Therefore, focus on attacks and Pokémon of these types in raids to defeat Ursaring.
Are there shiny Ursaring? Yes. You can catch shiny Teddiursa in Pokémon GO and then evolve them.
Teddiursa, Ursaring and Ursaluna compared to their shiny forms
How many trainers are needed? If you possess the top counter Pokémon and have already reached a fairly high level (40+) in Pokémon GO, you can defeat Ursaring alone. With lower levels but strong counters, you should rely on more trainers.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 offers a huge collection of weapons that soldiers can equip on the battlefield. Therefore, we summarize all the guns in a weapon list and mention their names from older shooter titles.
How many weapons are there in Modern Warfare 2? In MW2, there are a total of 51 weapons in the gunsmith that can be customized. Some must be earned, while others are already unlocked from the start.
Each weapon additionally belongs to a specific category. The following are available:
So you know which weapons are available in CoD MW2, we will list them for you in our weapon list and even mention their designations from older shooter titles.
Are more weapons coming? Call of Duty no longer offers a fixed arsenal of weapons like its older titles, but continuously expands this every season with new weapons.
In Season 1, 4 new weapons are also coming to Modern Warfare 2. Therefore, we will expand our list with more guns as soon as they see the light of day.
If you want more information about Season 1 for Warzone and Modern Warfare, we have summarized the roadmap that is already known for you:
In the game “Dead Cells”, there was an update with a crossover event, where different characters and weapons from other games were added. Additionally, a bundle is offered on Steam, where you can get 5 popular games.
What is this crossover event? In Dead Cells, on November 7, 2022, an update was released that introduced new content to the game, originally from other games. To celebrate the event, a special bundle is offered on Steam – it includes 5 top titles from the platform.
This is already the second crossover event in the action roguelike game Dead Cells. The first round took place on November 22, 2021, titled “Everyone is Here”, which featured collaborations with games like Blasphemous and Hollow Knight.
Here you can see a gameplay trailer for Dead Cells: Everyone is Here Vol. 2:

From Shovel Knight to Terraria
What is this bundle? The so-called “Everyone is Here… Again” bundle is available on sale for €47.68 instead of €97.45 on Steam. The individual prices of the games total €56.09. With the bundle, you save €8.41, or 15%.
Currently, almost all titles in the bundle are on individual sale. Below, we have also noted the current individual prices and discounts for the game names (as of November 10, 2022, via Steam).
It includes a total of 5 different games:
Dead Cells with a 40% discount, costs €14.99
Katana ZERO with a 40% discount, costs €7.49
Shovel Knight: Shovel of Hope no discount, costs €13.99
All games in the bundle have an extremely positive rating on the platform. The reviews range from 95% (Shovel Knight: Shovel of Hope) to 98% positive reviews (Katana ZERO) (as of November 10, 2022, via Steam).
How does the crossover affect the game? The crossover event brings new content from partner games to the players of Dead Cells. Weapons, abilities, and skins of other characters have been integrated. These include:
From Terraria: “The Guide”
From Shovel Knight: The titular Knight
From Hotline Miami: Jacket
From Katana ZERO: Subject ZERO
From Slay the Spire: Ironclad
From Risk of Rain: The Commando
With the character outfits, there are also weapons and abilities that have been integrated into the gameplay of Dead Cells.
In the game, there are new puzzles in the book of hints, which is located in the prisoner’s quarters. These must be solved by players to unlock the outfits.
How long is the bundle on offer? On the Steam page for the bundle, there is no specific date mentioned for how long the special offer will be available.
However, it is said that the bundle will only be available for one week. So, it can be assumed that the bundle will be available only during the week in which the update was communicated: from November 7 to November 13, 2022.
The new Call of Duty: Warzone 2 (PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox) will introduce a new mode with open world on release on November 16: DMZ. For months, this mode has been compared to the survival shooter Escape from Tarkov. Now there is initial information about the mode and an assessment from Twitch shooter expert shroud.
What have we known so far about the mode? DMZ will be a new mode in Warzone 2 that players can play instead of the familiar “Battle Royale” mode. DMZ has repeatedly been compared to the hardcore shooter “Escape from Tarkov” or the PvEvP mode “Hazard Zone” from Battlefield 2042.
It was said that you start on a large map and must fight your way to the exit, with other players and NPCs trying to prevent this.
There was talk of an “extraction shooter” with RPG elements and progression. For long-time readers of MeinMMO, it sounded like the Dark Zone from The Division 1:
Find loot
Defend loot against other players and NPCs
Get loot to safety

CoD: Warzone 2.0 will be bigger and better – But there’s one thing you have to give up
Activision Blizzard invites streamers – Except for the one whose name cannot be mentioned
These are the new details: On November 9, Activision Blizzard provided more information about DMZ. For an event in Los Angeles, Call of Duty invited some big streamers.
By the way: Once again, DrDisrespect had to stay outside and spewed venom and bile. The new “PR team” from Activision Blizzard just doesn’t get it. But many other big shooter streamers from YouTube and Twitch were there: shroud, DrLupo, Symfuhny and others.
Before the match, the players set up a loadout of weapons and decided what they were willing to risk. That seems to be the crucial trick of DMZ: you always have to weigh risk against reward.
Because if they die, they lose everything they’re carrying.
At the start of the event, there were technical difficulties:

In a match, DrLupo was able to use a special item to open a building, a “Stronghold,” where powerful NPCs guard strong equipment and loot. DrLupo was immediately killed by soldiers carrying a shield, as Dotesports reports.
Even when trying to get the looted gear to safety, he failed: the arrival of a helicopter alerted the entire area and Lupo’s team was eliminated again.
shroud thinks the new DMZ mode is not hardcore and ruthless enough
What does the ultimate shooter guy say? The streamer shroud was at the event and spoke about the supposed similarity to Escape from Tarkov. shroud is something like the ultimate authority on Twitch when it comes to shooters:
It’s not even close to Tarkov. You can’t even say it’s like Tarkov, but casual, because it’s not. It’s its own thing, and it wants to be its own thing.

Shroud, in any case, didn’t find great favor with DMZ. He says he is a little disappointed. He misses the toughness of Tarkov, and would have preferred DMZ to be more hardcore. It reminds him too much of the “Cash Grab” mode from Warzone 1. He misses the “ruthlessness” that Escape from Tarkov provides.
DMZ will be released together with Warzone 2 on November 16. We have all the info for you:
With Dragonflight, World of Warcraft gets a new feature: dragon riding. Many players drew parallels to the mounts in Guild Wars 2 right at the announcement. In a new commercial, Guild Wars 2 pokes fun at this very similarity.
What is this commercial about? The 30-second spot features the mount Sky-Scale found in Guild Wars 2. At the very beginning, the text “the best mounts in MMOs” is displayed – taken from a review by PC Gamer.
As the video progresses, it states: “Why should you wait to ride a dragon?” A clear reference to dragon riding in WoW, which will be introduced on November 28th with Dragonflight.
How are the reactions to the commercial? Basically, many appreciate the humor of the GW2 developers. Additionally, the mounts receive a lot of praise from players because they have truly set new standards beyond just a speed boost.
However, there is also criticism and mockery for Guild Wars 2. Unlocking the Sky-Scale involves some tasks, the purchase of a DLC, and a timegate of at least 4 to up to 15 days.
The user Supafly1337 writes:
Oh man! I just spent a few weeks learning the game! Time to find out what makes this mount so special. Oh! Only two weeks left until I can see if it is better than the dragon riding in Dragonflight…
It is quite likely that active WoW players will prefer to experience the dragon riding in Dragonflight rather than starting completely fresh with Guild Wars 2.
What else does Dragonflight offer? With Dragonflight, WoW receives some innovations beyond dragon riding. You can explore new zones and reach level 70, experience a new story, play a new class and a new race, as well as visit new dungeons and raids.

There is now a lot of gameplay and information about Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0. We list here what distinguishes the free battle royale from its successful predecessor on MeinMMO.
Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 will be a completely new battle royale. Many things from the first Warzone have been revised, even core features like the loadout drops work entirely differently.
What remains the same: Warzone 2.0 is, like its predecessor, a free battle royale, launched via the Modern Warfare 2 launcher, and the progression systems of MW2 and WZ2 are interconnected.
However, you will start completely anew: All weapons, items, levels, and cosmetics from Warzone 1 are gone. We will show you here on MeinMMO what major gameplay changes Warzone 2.0 has in store.

CoD: Warzone 2.0 will be bigger and better – But there’s one thing you have to give up
1. Change: New engine, new game feel
Similar to Warzone 1, Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2.0 are fundamentally one game. Movement, weapons, gameplay feel, progression – if you play CoD MW2, Warzone 2.0 will feel the same.
Only the rules are different, the map is significantly larger, and the player count is at 150. You start Warzone 2.0 via the MW2 launcher.
Thanks to the revised engine, the graphics are better, and new movement mechanics are being introduced. Overall, everything might feel a bit slower compared to before; many actions take longer.
Unless you come from console and play Warzone 2.0 for the first time with an expanded “field of view.” The field of view settings are finally coming to PlayStation and Xbox. The stretched image creates the impression that everything is happening a bit faster.
Additionally, the vehicle mechanics have been expanded, and water is now a core feature of the Warzone. You can swim, engage in underwater combat, and no longer have to worry about the water being too deep and you suddenly going down.
The new equipment from Modern Warfare 2 also brings fresh air into the battle royale. Deployable cameras, drill grenades, or the inflatable decoy soldier are just a few examples of the new tactical possibilities. The third-person perspective is also coming to Warzone 2.0.
The biggest unique selling point of the first Warzone is history – loadout drops like before no longer exist. While the drops are still in the game, they are now only available as an in-match event. Loadouts will drop from the sky and be accessible to all players.
However, this is only one of three ways to get your own weapons:
Purchase your own weapons at buy stations
Clear a “stronghold” guarded by NPCs
In-match event with the loadout drops
So it will be a bit more complicated to get a self-built weapon into the game. However, the possibilities with the ground loot you find everywhere will expand.
Because, similar to PUBG, you can customize looted weapons during the match with found attachments. This way, strong weapons can be assembled even without loadout drops or cash.
The passive abilities “perks” are not available at the release of Warzone 2. They will be introduced later in the game.
If you defeat an opponent or open a loot container, your loot will not fly around anymore. Much more often, you will have to handle and manage an inventory – including your own backpack.
This allows you to carry more than 5 armor plates, but you must keep an eye on your limited backpack spaces. Because the plates share their spaces with your ammunition.
You have a backpack in Warzone 2.0.
At the start of a match, you will also no longer have the usual 3 slots for armor plates. You must first find equipment that allows you to carry more plates to increase your health.
This can happen at buy stations. But you won’t always find the desired items at all stations. Each station has its own inventory, and while you can buy shock sticks at the first station, perhaps cameras are available at the next.
The Gulag is quite different. Instead of the usual 1vs1 fights, where only the winner returns to the match, you now play 2vs2 – and all 4 players can return to the match:
Defeat the prison guard NPC to have everyone return to the match
Defeat the opponents to rescue your team
If the “overtime” runs out, no one returns to the match
A helpful feature is the new “proximity chat.” You can now hear the ingame chat of nearby enemies – everywhere, not just in the Gulag. This allows coordination during the fight against the strong prison guard. However, you will also need to use the chat for this.
But if you’re not careful, I can also spill the beans about the new feature.
5. Change: Interrogate opponents
You can interrogate opponents who are on the ground and thereby receive a reconnaissance ping of the enemy team on the map and their positions.
The idea is interesting that you can briefly talk to the downed player through the proximity chat – effectively interrogating them.

We have covered the major chunks of gameplay changes, but the devil is in the details. There are many little things that change compared to the first Warzone – as mentioned: Warzone 2.0 is a completely new battle royale, a totally new game.
You can expect new in-match events, for example. A prominent example here is an event that splits the playable circle into 3 separate circles that ultimately reunite. Another highlight is the DMZ mode, which is oriented towards the extraction shooter genre.

Elias Nerlich is one of the biggest streamers in Germany on Twitch. Now he has become the target of a hacker attack: In one fell swoop, the streamer’s Ultimate Team account in FIFA 23 was emptied.
Who is it about? Elias “eliasn97” Nerlich made his breakthrough in eSports, is co-owner and founder of the team “Fokus Clan” and today he is one of the biggest Twitch streamers in Germany.
According to the portal twitchmetrics, he is even number 1 in Germany when it comes to average viewers: He ranks with currently 33,452 viewers on average ahead of colleagues like MontanaBlack or Trymacs, and he is also at the top with a peak of 93,016 concurrent viewers.
But now there has been a heavy blow concerning FIFA 23: As Elias Nerlich recounts, he was hacked and a large part of his FUT account was destroyed.
Elias Nerlich was hacked – Team and coins in FIFA 23 gone
On Twitter, the streamer reported that his PSN account was hacked and now his FIFA account is gone. Someone apparently took over Elias Nerlich’s account and immediately started selling the players from his club.
In no time at all, players worth around 33 million coins were simply gone, reports the streamer on Twitter. In FIFA 23, that is an extremely high amount, with which one could build almost any fantasy team.

In a video on YouTube, Nerlich summarized the situation again and showed how he noticed live during the stream that he was hacked. There, it can be seen how he first realized that he was logged out of the PSN – only to then find an email from EA saying that his FUT account was banned because he was allegedly transferring coins on the market. Those were the first signs that something was not going as it should.
Shortly after, it became clear that the account was hacked and practically “gone”.

In the video, the streamer summarizes again that he had actually taken all security precautions for his PSN account, but the hacker apparently still managed to gain access. After that, the FIFA account was next:
“They wiped all my coins. I had 9 million coins, I had 130,000 FIFA Points, that’s over 1,000 euros in converted value. I had a team that cost around 20 million or so – even more. This account is worth about €10,000,” Nerlich calculates.
He describes the incident as bitter, but hopes to get the account back. However, the streamer criticizes that it was even possible for his account to be hacked despite having taken security precautions.
Nerlich also refers to the top list of transfer sums in FIFA 23, in which he was also found. One of the top traders in FIFA 23 contacted him via Twitter and explained that players from this list, with valuable FUT accounts, are often targeted by hackers.
In the video, Elias Nerlich also reports how he talked about the situation with Twitch streamer Trymacs – he too has been hit in the past. Trymacs reported last year that he was hacked in FIFA 22 – and that twice.
