For FIFA 22 the TOTW 10 (Team of the Week) is scheduled for next Wednesday. At MeinMMO you will find out which players might be included in the new Team of the Week.Good chances have Sadio Mané, Toni Kroos, and N’Golo Kanté.
This is the Team of the Week: Every Wednesday it is time for the new TOTW in FIFA Ultimate Team. This team includes players who have impressed with strong performances in real football during the past football week. These players then receive improved Inform special cards, which are available in packs for one week.
These are TOTW Predictions: In the TOTW Predictions, we present forecasts for the new TOTW from the FUT community. The performances of the players are closely examined and predictions are made.
However, it is important to note that the predictions are not a guarantee for the final Team of the Week 10.
Sadio Mané was the Man of the Match in the game Liverpool against Arsenal and was able to register one goal and one assist in the 4-0 victory. It is quite possible that he could receive his second TOTW card for this.
This could be how Mané’s second Inform card looks.
N’Golo Kanté has not yet received an Inform card in FUT 22, but that could change on Wednesday. The Frenchman played strongly in the 3-0 victory against Leicester and even managed to score a goal.
From the Bundesliga, this time only candidate close to selection: Lars Stindl. He had a strong game against Greuther Fürth and provided 3 assists in the 4-0 victory.
What do you think about the predictions for TOTW 10? Which player should definitely be included in the new Team of the Week? Let us know in the comments!
If you are still looking for a strong card for your team, check out the new special card of Julian Draxler:
In Pokémon GO, as of today, November 22, 2021, you have the opportunity to secure an avatar item once again through a promo code. We at MeinMMO will show you how to get the gift.
When is the promo code valid? You can redeem the promo code today, November 22, 2021, at 8:00 PM local time in the in-game shop of the game. It is valid until the end of the event on November 30, 2021, at 10:00 PM local time.
What does the code give you? With this promo code, you secure a new avatar item. It is a sweatshirt with the inscription “=”, which also features the namesake, new album of global star Ed Sheeran.
Avatar item
How to redeem the promo code
In Pokémon GO, there is a difference between Android and iOS devices when redeeming promo codes. We have looked into how you can get the avatar item on each and will show you:
On Android devices: If you are using an Android device, you can redeem the promo code directly in the game. Click into your in-game shop and scroll down. At the bottom of the page, you will find the input field “Promos”, where you need to enter and confirm your code.
Input field on Android
On iOS devices: Unlike Android devices, you cannot redeem the promo code directly in the game with an iOS device. To use it, Niantic has a special website for you, which we have linked here: Redeem Promo Code (via Niantic).
With your login credentials, you can now log in to the website. After that, an input mask will also appear here, where you can paste your code. Once you reopen your game, the unlocked avatar item will be displayed, and you can use it. In your journal, you can also check whether the redemption worked.
What do you think of the avatar item? Will you secure the fan sweatshirt from Ed Sheeran, or is that not your thing? Feel free to leave your opinion here on MeinMMO in the comments and exchange thoughts with other trainers.
The head of Activision Blizzard, Bobby Kotick, is considering resigning – at least if he fails in his mission.
When reporting on the video game industry, there has been one main topic for weeks: Activision and the big scandal. CEO Bobby Kotick has come into the spotlight following recent revelations from the Wall Street Journal. Demands for his resignation have been voiced from all directions. Now he is contemplating it – should he fail in his goal.
What’s happening with Bobby Kotick? The current CEO of Activision Blizzard, Bobby Kotick, has been facing serious allegations in recent days:
He allegedly knew about a rape within the company but kept it quiet.
Another allegation is that he threatened an assistant with death in 2006.
He is said to have written the “scandal email” from Fran Townsend, which many found outrageous.
Kotick received criticism from all sides: The revelations sparked a major wave of protests. First, there was a strike at Blizzard, quickly followed by an internal petition aimed at forcing Bobby Kotick to resign – more than 1,700 employees supported this demand. Players and long-time fans also launched a petition that gained significant traction.
Moreover, many other individuals have expressed their lack of confidence in Kotick. This included some shareholders, but also people like Phil Spencer (essentially the “Xbox head”) and Jim Ryan from Sony, who expressed concern and deemed Kotick’s resignation necessary.
Kotick allegedly admits the possibility of withdrawal in internal conversation
What did Kotick say now? According to recent reports from the Wall Street Journal, Kotick did not directly offer his resignation during a conversation with other Blizzard executives last Friday, but sees it as an option should he fail to “rapidly resolve the issues with misconduct.” (via wsj.com)
For Kotick, this might be the most strategically savvy solution. Thus, the call for his resignation remains in the air, and he responds to these requests. At the same time, it gives him additional time and the opportunity to prove how serious his repeatedly expressed demands are to make Activision Blizzard one of the best workplaces ever.
However, Kotick is probably not referring to the allegations against him personally – as they are the real reason for numerous calls for his resignation.
More current news about the Blizzard scandal can be found here:
At the same time, it seems that the leadership at Activision wants to establish a “Workplace Excellence Committee” to monitor and evaluate the implementation of necessary steps and their speed. This should ensure that the corporate culture rapidly transforms for the better.
What do you think about this? Should Kotick step down and resign? Or should he try to improve the company further?

Battlefield 2042 has finally been officially released. For the release, the new shooter entices with 7 maps where you can play different game modes. MeinMMO wants to know from you which one you find the best.
What maps are available? In All-out Warfare, the standard mode of Battlefield 2042, there are 7 maps available that can be played in a random rotation. Each of them is unique and features special attributes:
Hourglass is a desert town in Qatar with a stadium, where a sandstorm can occur
Discarded is a port in India with old ships and deadly storms
Manifest in Singapore can be devastated by tropical tornadoes
Kaleidoscope, a metropolis in South Korea, features skyscrapers and heavy rain
Orbital in French Guiana can launch a rocket (or have it destroyed)
Breakaway is a massive ice desert in Antarctica with destructible fuel tanks and silos
Renewal, a map in Egypt, is divided with a green area and a desert separated by a wall
Particularly Breakaway was criticized as the largest map of the game right at release: the map is simply too large and empty. Even with vehicles, it can take a long time before you encounter enemies.
The size of the maps has worried many players since Early Access. On one hand, it annoys them that it takes forever to reach the points. On the other hand, many of the weapons are inaccurate at long distances.
Therefore, many players turn to sniper rifles and DMRs. They are still very effective at range and, due to their single shots, are affected very little by the spread that troubles many players. The first DMR that is available for you to choose was even the strongest weapon at the very beginning:
Now it’s your turn. We want to know from you which map you like to play the most. We have provided all the maps of All-out Warfare from Battlefield 2042 for you to choose from.
However, you only have one single vote because we want to know your absolute favorite. If you are torn between two maps, let your gut feeling decide.
Together with the maps, the specialists also entered the game. They have unique abilities and replace the classes you usually know from a Battlefield. This means you can freely combine them with all weapons in the game. 10 of these specialists are available to you at launch. We want to know from you:
In Pokémon GO, the event with Ed Sheeran starts on November 22nd. We will show you the start time, contents like Squirtle with sunglasses, bonuses, and everything you need to know about the concert.
What kind of event is this? The global star Ed Sheeran is coming for a visit to Pokémon GO. In the game, he will perform a concert that you can watch in the game. But an event in Pokémon GO wouldn’t be complete without special bonuses and Pokémon.
Since Ed Sheeran is a big fan of water Pokémon, the event is centered around them. We will show you the details here.
Ed Sheeran – Concert, Time, Event, and Bonuses
When does it start? The event begins on Monday, November 22nd, at 8:00 PM. It will be active in Pokémon GO until Tuesday, November 30th.
When does the concert start? The recorded performance can be found starting at 8:00 PM on Monday in the news overview in Pokémon GO. To access it, click once on the Pokéball menu and then on “News” in the top right. Ed will play the songs:
“Perfect”
“Bad Habits”
“Overpass Graffiti”
“Thinking Out Loud”
“First Times”
“Shivers”
What bonuses are there? If you take snapshots during the event, you can expect special encounters. Additionally, during the event, “Overpass Graffiti” will play every night as a song in Pokémon GO. Turn on your music in the game to hear the song.
Spawns in the wild: In the wild, you will encounter Karpador, Hydropi, Plinfa, and Ottaro more frequently during the event. If you’re lucky, you might encounter Squirtle with sunglasses and Froxy. All of these Pokémon, except Froxy, can be found as Shiny.
Where can you find sunglasses Squirtle? If you’re lucky, you can encounter the special event form of Squirtle with sunglasses in the wild. There will also be special field research tasks during the event that reward you with sunglasses Squirtle.
Gifts: You will receive a free box in the shop at the start of the event. It contains 1 Lure Module, 20 Pokéballs, 10 Razz Berries, and 10 Nanab Berries.
Additionally, there will be new stickers that you can receive from gifts from friends. Alternatively, you can find them for purchase in the shop.
Which of the contents of the Ed Sheeran event in Pokémon GO are you most looking forward to? Do you think it’s good that the developers are bringing back sunglasses Squirtle, or would you have preferred if the Pokémon had remained rare? Let us know your opinion here in the comments.
That mechanics in games are sometimes misused is as normal as server queues for a big release. There weren’t any queues at the launch of Call of Duty: Vanguard, but the first crazy misuses happened already.
How long do you need to play a map to spot the best positions and know the corners at a pocket level? 2 hours? 4 hours? All of that isn’t enough, because to find the strongest power positions in Call of Duty: Vanguard, you first need the right idea.
A clip on reddit now shows that map knowledge doesn’t always help you when facing innovative opponents. Some people are just “over the top” and demonstrate with their tricks that there’s always a little more you can do. Remember such tricks, use them yourself, and take a look at why the mini-tank “Goliath” is a gift for snipers.
Goliath provides the strongest power positions
What does that look like? A clip on the platform “reddit” shows the user “BigHero6Fan” that the Goliath offers even more applications than its equipment description suggests:

Instead of maneuvering the mini-tank towards enemy lines, BigHero6Fan and one of his team colleagues utilize the excellent physics of the rumbling Goliath. With some explosives under the tracks, the thing becomes a floating platform like those seen in jump & runs.
In the clip, the “tank flyer” has a sniper rifle ready and takes out an enemy while diving into the clouds. This method is excellent for scouting the map and could provide a significant advantage, especially in the “Search & Destroy” mode.
What are power positions? If you have a strong positional advantage over your opponents, it is called a “power position”. One of the most well-known power positions is the “high ground” because you can often gain an advantage by having the upper hand over your enemies. In Call of Duty, the “head glitch” is also very popular – a cover where you have full visibility, but enemies can only see your small head.
Will this stay the same? Currently, it can’t be said for sure whether this is a bug or intentional. The thread creator BigHero6Fan assumes it’s a glitch, so a fix might be on the way soon.
However, such small mechanics can also be intentional and thus provide an extra element of surprise. So keep an eye out for flying tanks.
With such small tricks, you can even surprise the most hardened opponents. Often, it’s the innovative solutions that set you apart from your enemies, and a strong plan B is usually worth more than perfect aiming with the weapon.
Do you have some cool tricks up your sleeve? Then share them with us and other readers in the comments on MeinMMO.

To be good at Battlefield 2042, you need to have a steady aim. With large maps and difficult to use weapons, there are many things to consider – and many aspects to improve. MeinMMO shows you the most important tips for aiming and how to get better.
In Battlefield 2042, many gameplay situations occur in one of two extremes:
Fights for a control point are chaotic close combat battles.
To reach a control point, fights against enemies at distances of 100m (or even more) are not uncommon.
Both extremes require good aim if you want to survive.
However, bloom is not responsible for every missed shot. Therefore, it is important to critically examine and improve your own habits. We will give you 5 important tips to improve your aim and win more fights.
[toc]
1. Don’t just aim for the head
What mistakes should I avoid? In most shooters, your bullets do different amounts of damage depending on where they hit the enemy:
Hits to the upper body deal normal damage,
Hits to the legs deal the least damage,
Hits to the head deal the most damage
Many players aim exclusively for the head because they want to deal the most damage. While this is generally a good idea, it’s not always the right approach.
Mechanics like recoil or bloom prevent your weapons from being perfectly accurate during sustained fire. Often, the recoil of a weapon pulls your aim upward.
If you only shoot for the head, you will encounter the following problems:
The head is the smallest area of the opponent that you can hit.
Even the best aimers in the world do not hit heads 100% of the time.
If you are solely focused on the head, you make your life harder than necessary.
Even if you hit the head with the first bullets, your aim will drift upward due to recoil.
For the crucial last hit, you will then shoot over the opponent’s head – into thin air.
This gives even less precise opponents the chance to kill you.
How do I play better? Instead of always aiming for the head, shoot for the upper body at short and medium distances. This has two major advantages:
The upper body is a large area that you can hit much more easily – especially when the opponent is moving.
If the recoil pulls your bullets upward, they will not miss – but rather hit the head.
By aiming for the chest, you not only hit more easily, but the recoil also helps direct your aim toward the head. This way, you use the actual disadvantage of recoil to your advantage.
This tip does not apply or only applies in limited ways at long distances and with sniper rifles: Here, you should always try to hit the head because it deals more damage and recoil plays less of a role. We will explain the reason for this in the next tip.
2. Shoot in short bursts
What mistakes should I avoid? Sure, firing away with a fully automatic weapon is fun. However, in Battlefield 2042, this is rarely a good idea.
While this playstyle might make you feel like Rambo, you hit less than a Storm Trooper from Star Wars.
This lack of precision is naturally amplified by the bloom mechanic. But even without bloom, you should try to use sustained fire primarily in close combat. This is a generally applicable rule – but depending on the weapon, it holds true to varying degrees.
How do I play better? In Battlefield 2042, it is important to focus on short bursts. This minimizes weapon recoil.
You don’t even have to change the fire mode of your weapon – although you can. Just try to shoot in short bursts, especially at distances. Press the fire button briefly and then let go quickly before shooting again with a new burst.
The correct rhythm for the duration of each burst and the waiting time between bursts depends on the weapon. Try to interrupt the burst just when you feel the recoil of the weapon. Shoot again when the weapon has returned to its normal position.
DMRs also benefit from this tip, albeit for different reasons:
Instead of countering sustained fire recoil, you must wait for the DMR to recenter on your screen after each shot.
Too high a fire rate causes DMRs to become imprecise.
3. Move less
What mistakes should I avoid? In Battlefield 2042, your weapon becomes very imprecise when you move while shooting. This clip from reddit illustrates this error vividly:
Recommended editorial content

The player in the clip blames bloom for this. However, that is incorrect: The SVK used in the clip has little to no bloom.
The weapon becomes incredibly imprecise when fired while moving. However, the SVK is just the most extreme example – every weapon in the game becomes less precise when you move while shooting.
This mechanic also exists beyond Battlefield 2042. It serves for balance and is intended to prevent you from being too hard to hit due to high mobility while still allowing you to hit everything.
How do I play better? Try to stand still while shooting when a fight occurs at medium or long range. While this makes you easier to hit, the opponent must follow the same principles if they want to hit you.
However, if the opponent stands still and you are moving, you will miss and get hit. This should be avoided.
An advanced tactic is to move and then briefly stop to shoot exactly when you are standing still. YouTuber Kugelmagnet Eddie shows this in this video:

YouTuber Kugelmagnet Eddie briefly shows the “Stutter Step” technique
When shooting crouched or prone, your precision is also higher than when standing.
This tip only applies to a limited extent in close combat: When an opponent is directly in front of you, the lack of precision is not as important as your mobility.
4. Learn your weapon’s recoil
What mistakes should I avoid? Your weapons have recoil, but you do not have to succumb to it. Players who use sustained fire with their weapon without compensating for the recoil waste ammunition and miss their opponents. You can prevent this.
If the recoil of your weapon pulls your aim in a certain direction, you can use a technique to compensate for that recoil.
How do I play better? Each weapon has a specific direction in which the recoil pulls you. Observe this direction while firing your weapon, and then aim in the exact opposite direction with your aim.
If your weapon is pulled up-right by the recoil, you need to aim down-left with your right stick or mouse. Do this at the same speed at which the weapon moves due to recoil.
With some practice, you can balance the recoil with your favorite weapon. Pros can also shoot accurately with sustained fire at medium distances.
5. Test other settings
What mistakes should I avoid? It is a myth that changing your aim settings (too often) harms your aim skills.
Especially those who are still searching for the right settings benefit more from experimenting than from stubbornly sticking with their old settings.
A common saying among gamers is: The more you play, the better you get at hitting “with closed eyes.” This concept of muscle memory is widespread but completely wrong on all levels. Aim professionals also say so (via Voltaic).
Even Shroud uses significantly different settings for almost every game. Nonetheless, he is one of the best aimers in the world and is affectionately called a “human aimbot” by his fans.
How do I play better? It’s not a disadvantage to change your aim settings. On the contrary: Change can reveal bad habits and train better ones.
Even if you have used a setting for years, especially a new game may require new settings. This is not only not a problem, but also a great opportunity to improve your aim skills in Battlefield 2042 and any other game.
We hope these 5 tips help you hit more opponents in Battlefield 2042. But these tips also apply to other games.
Did you know these already? Do you perhaps have additional tips and tricks that you would like to share? And how do you like the gunplay in Battlefield 2042? We would love to hear your opinion in the comments.
The celebrations in Destiny 2 for the 30th anniversary on December 7th are not far away. Bungie is already working in the background on the largest future update yet, which will fundamentally change the game in December 2021 and February 2022. We summarize the adjustments in this compact overview for you.
The current Season 15 of Destiny 2 is the longest the game has ever had. The seasonal story quest around Savathun and Mara Sov is currently at a standstill. For this reason, in less than three weeks, the “30 Years of Bungie” package will be released. It aims to sweeten the time for players until the next expansion in February 2022. Bungie has also been working for weeks in the background on the largest balance patch of all time.
Currently, it almost sounds like Bungie’s birthday party in December will also herald a completely new era for Destiny 2 and its players.
Prepare for major changes: Many changes will be introduced to the game in December 2021, bringing the first significant changes for players. Further innovations will then affect future gameplay with the release of “The Witch Queen” on February 22, 2022. All these adjustments are enormously extensive.
Adjustments to Exotics and various weapons and perks
In-depth balance adjustments for abilities with differentiated cooldowns
Expansion of the Light classes through aspects and fragments
A completely new way of weapon crafting and its optimization
New enemies and selectable difficulty levels, making the game more challenging
Legendary weapons will be stronger in PvE: Slug shotguns will lose 10% damage in PvE, but pellet shotguns will receive a 10% PvE damage increase. Various swords will now consume less ammunition for a heavy attack, and bows will deal 10% more damage against normal enemies. All linear fusion rifles will deal 10% more damage.
Exotic buffs and nerfs will provide fine-tuning: The most notable changes will affect popular exotics such as Whisper of the Worm and the Sleeper Simulant. The Sleeper will receive the smaller of the two buffs, with a damage increase of 6% (along with an additional 10% damage increase for linear fusion rifles) and an extra round in the magazine.
The Exo-Sniper Whisper of the Worm, which was previously the preferred DPS weapon for players in nearly all battles, may make a grand comeback. In addition to the 10% damage increase, the Catalyst perk “Breath Control” now triggers faster. Additionally, with three rapid precision hits, a bullet is returned to the magazine from thin air.
You can read all the changes to the exotic weapons in this article:
Also coming are adjustments to perks and mods: Many mods and perks will also change. Among them is “Vorpal Weapon”. While the damage against supers in PvP remains unchanged, Bungie is adjusting the damage buff in PvE. Instead of 15% on all weapons, it’s now 10% on power weapons, 15% on special weapons, and 20% on primary weapons.
Additionally, there will be a new accessibility mod “Full-Auto Retrofit” available for legendary hand cannons, sidearms, scout rifles, and pulse rifles. It activates full-auto while the trigger is held.
Bungie wants to give players a reason in February 2022 to use two weapons of the same element and stat type. However, we don’t have any further details on this yet.
2. Your abilities will soon feel different
Starting in December, every ability and every super will gain more identity, making them unique. Player builds will become more flexible. It also means the end of the “super clock” in the Crucible. It is quite possible that these changes will feel different for many players.
The distinction between the two areas will become more important in the future, as a PvP build will need to be more tailored than a pure PvE build. A Hunter should reconsider his 100 mobility, as the cooldown for dodging will be increased from 11 to 14 and from 11 to 18 seconds.
However, these changes only affect the Crucible. There will be no change in ability refunds for PvE fighters.
You can read all about the changes for cooldowns and the super tier list, which will come into the game with the “largest balance patch of all time,” here:
3. “Void 3.0” will be the first to expand the Light class system with aspects and fragments
As we know, the dream of further Darkness classes in The Witch Queen has not been confirmed. “Venom” and “Vapor” are no longer topics for speculation. Instead of bringing more Darkness classes into the game, Bungie is boosting the existing Light classes so that they can continue to compete.
The combination possibilities that players can expect with Void 3.0 (from February 2022) are diverse. Combining spectral blades and fade step is possible, as well as dawn shield with controlled destruction. Also, the combo of hand supernova and devouring.
Cool new abilities are coming with Void 3.0 into the game.
Some things will be removed and a few really crazy abilities will be added.
The Sentinel Titan will become the protector with Void 3.0. With its Void 3.0 update, it will take on the role of a “frontline protector” and will be able to cover its team. If things get tense, it can aggressively decimate enemies with its new shield throw, thanks to overshield.
The Hunter will dive devilishly into Void 3.0. In the Destiny 2 showcase from August 2021, you can see a clip in the YouTube video, where a Hunter performs a kind of “dive jump” with Void, similar to the Stasis Shatterdive. Even though Bungie has not revealed anything accurate about this yet, it still looks promising what all will be possible for the Hunter with aspects and fragments.
Voidwalkers will become more threatening and turn into Void 3.0 vampires. If you liked the Stasis turret of the Warlocks, then you will want to try out the new Void 3.0 Warlock right after this information. With the update, it will gain the ability to create a black hole. It will target your enemies by itself, drain their energy like a vampire, and weaken them.
Arc and Solar are also expected to be updated and expanded over the course of 2022, through subsequent seasons.
What you can expect specifically from Void 3.0 is detailed here:
4. Targeted weapon crafting for more space in the vault
This may solve the vault issue for many players. Instead of keeping hundreds of variations of the same weapon in the vault, players will soon be able to remold their weapons for every situation and customize them. This will affect all mods, shaders, and stats of your weapon and will be the next step after the Umbral Engrams.
The weapon crafting in the expansion “The Witch Queen”.
We believe: If you invest so much time into a weapon, then it is okay for us if you can create any version of it that you want.
—Joe Blackburn
This is how the new weapon crafting will work: The more often you use a weapon and the more related tasks you complete, the more customization options you unlock for that weapon. However, crafting will initially only be limited to the weapons of the Throne World, from the new raid, and the seasonal weapons at the release of Witch Queen. The first self-crafted weapon will be the “Glaive”.
However, throughout the year of the Witch Queen era, legacy weapons will also be added to the feature.
In this article, we summarize everything about weapon crafting:
5. Destiny 2 plays good against evil “Space-Jedis”with selectable difficulty
With the new expansion “The Witch Queen”, players will face a completely new enemy experience. The “Radiant Brood” is like fighting a mirror image of yourself. It sounds a bit like Star Wars, where we are the good Jedi and they are the evil Sith.
We are no longer the only immortals: This new, light-bearing, and equally immortal Hive hybrid race will pose a new challenge for players. Nothing compared to the current champions, especially as these new enemies are equipped with our abilities. The “Radiant Brood” has its own Void Titans with Sentinel shields, Bladefeather Hunters, and Chaos Warlocks. They use the same class abilities as the Guardians of the Traveler. In addition, Savathun’s brood has its own ghosts that must be destroyed in order to ultimately defeat them.
What the new enemies look like and what they can exactly do, we reveal here:
“The Witch Queen” campaign will add a selectable legendary difficulty that sounds as if it would present a more serious challenge even for long-time players.
How hard will the legendary campaign be in 2022? Joe Blackburn, Game Director at Bungie, noted that players should not have to solo a dungeon. But the campaign should feel engaging. So if you’re breezing through a legendary Lost Sector or harder Nightfalls, you will likely feel comfortable with it. New players will not feel overwhelmed by the freely selectable difficulty levels.
That’s a lot that will significantly change the player experience in Destiny 2 in the coming months. Practically, many adjustments to weapons and abilities will already be introduced before the new expansion. This gives players time to get used to everything, before they face Savathun.
How do you find the multitude of innovations that are coming to players in December? What do you like best? And where do you see the biggest challenges?

The lowest rating comes from TheGamer, which awarded 40 points.
Most ratings are between 70 and 80 points.
On the consoles Xbox Series (66) and PS5 (68), the shooter performs even worse, but has significantly fewer reviews there, which strongly affects the average. Therefore, we focus on the PC version.
Overall, the shooter performs below average compared to previous installments. Compared to earlier games in the series, Battlefield 2042 has even lower ratings than Battlefield Hardline, which previously had the lowest ratings.
All reviews for Battlefield 2042 at a glance
This is the situation with Battlefield 2042: Even since the open beta in October, there have been initial concerns about the technical condition of the shooter. With the launch of the early access version, things improved slightly, but even after the launch, there are still numerous issues.
For the following overview, we have compiled several reviews, taking into account that the highest and lowest ratings are included, and otherwise focusing on the most well-known gaming websites.
Here there are only 10 reviews in total, with an overall score of 68.
PlayStation Universe – 80
Metro GameCentral – 80
Atomix – 78
Gamepressure – 70

TheXboxHub – 70
GamingBolt – 70
The Loadout – 70
Pure Xbox – 70
God is a Geek – 60
Screen Rant – 40
How do the ratings come about and what do the critics say?
This is what the reviews on Metacritic say: We are trying to give you an overview and summarize some of the reviews.
Especially praised is the huge sandbox experience that Battlefield has always been known for. The new maps are positively rated by many, and the scope of the game is also well received. The variety between different modes like Hazard Zone and Battlefield Portal is appreciated.
“Battlefield 2042 is a great shooter that offers an even bigger war and stays true to the principles that have made the series so popular.” – Eurogamer Italy.
Praise is especially given to the modes and the new specialists, as well as the dynamic weather system with its sandstorms and tornadoes. Eurogamer Italy therefore awards 80 out of 100 points.
Despite the overwhelming amount of content, the oversized environments, the excellent overall quality, and some good decisions regarding gameplay, Battlefield 2042 is a great shooter, mainly because it preserves the soul of its predecessors and provides an experience that simply cannot be found outside the DICE studios.

“Battlefield 2042 has problems. Many, many problems. It suffers from major performance issues, various bugs, and balancing errors.” – GameStar.
Our colleagues from GameStar rated Battlefield 2042 with 71 out of 100 points. The sandbox chaos, teamwork, and the massive multiplayer battles are positively noted here as well.
Battlefield 2042 has problems. Many, many problems. It suffers from major performance issues, various bugs, and balancing errors.
Battlefield 2042 needed two or three more months of development. This game suffers from such rough edges that you could get tattoos off your arm.
But Battlefield 2042 is still a lot of fun for me. I have experienced exactly the unforgettable stories on the battlefield that fans love Battlefield for. Some of my concerns from the review event, like Hazard Zone, actually work much better in live operation than I originally anticipated.
“Battlefield 2042 tries a lot, but only some of its experiments are worth celebrating.” – IGN.com.
At IGN, the new mode Hazard Zone is particularly well-received. However, the 128-player matches are said to be too chaotic. Especially the Portal mode is described as the highlight of Battlefield 2042.
Since this mode brings back the old parts of the series, it is particularly disappointing because Battlefield 2042 was supposed to herald the future of the series.
Battlefield 2042 tries a lot, but only some of its experiments are worth celebrating. The 128-player matches of the All-Out Warfare modes feel like too much of a good thing most of the time, but the new, strategic Hazard Zone mode is incredibly fun. But the fact that most of the fun I had with 2042 came from playing recreations of the previous games in Portal is a pretty good indication that ideas like the new specialist system have missed their mark. For a game that claims to be the future of Battlefield, the impressive portal options of 2042 clearly show that it cannot keep up with the past. Instead, it’s exactly these customization options that could define the game over time.

“Battlefield 2042 is flawed, not well optimized, and features some bizarre creative decisions that I just can’t understand.” – PC Invasions.
PC Invasions also awards 70/100 points and criticizes the technical condition of the game. Several patches will definitely be needed to bring the game into an acceptable state. However, that doesn’t mean the game is bad.
Battlefield 2042 has many problems. From optimization to questionable design to various bugs, it is clear that this game was not quite ready to be released. But despite all of this, I found myself soaking in the chaotic fun of Battlefield. It certainly needs some patches, but Battlefield 2042 is by no means a hopeless case.

But what do you think of the game? Have you already bought Battlefield 2042, or did you want to wait and see how the launch goes?
The developer Riot has announced another game set in the universe of the MOBA League of Legends. The Beat’em’Up is not yet named and is currently only known as “Project L.” Now there is a new gameplay trailer.
This is Project L: The game is a 2D Beat’em’Up set in the world of Runeterra from LoL. You will build a team of two different champions that you control in battle and who can assist each other.
The philosophy behind Project L is, according to the developers, that it is “easy to learn and hard to master.” This means that it will be easy for new and inexperienced players to get into the game. However, if they want to become really good with the respective champions, they will have to work for it.
The various champions from League of Legends will showcase their iconic moves and attacks in Project L, which will be adapted to fit the style and combat system of a Beat’em’Up.
As an example, the time manipulator Ekko was presented with his time jump. This allows him to rewind to an earlier point in the fighting game. This way, he can attack when it is most advantageous for him or extend a combo.
In the trailer, you can get an impression of the gameplay yourself:

Additionally, the developers stated in the video that they take the netcode of Project L very seriously and are working to ensure it provides the best possible player experience for everyone. In online games, good netcode is essential for a smooth gaming experience and low delay.
Community Celebrates the Trailer – “I am so ready.”
These reactions exist: So far, the trailer for Project L has been received overwhelmingly positively. In the comments under the official trailer on the Riot Games channel, many celebrate the next game in the LoL universe. The trailer has gathered over 800,000 views, 49,000 likes, and almost 3,600 comments since its release on November 21.
In the comments, the cool moves of Ekko are particularly praised, as well as the sleek design of the Beat’em’Up. Many players are also pleased with the fact that the developers place a lot of emphasis on the netcode of Project L.
I can already imagine the tournament hype. It looks amazing!

I can’t wait to wreck people with Ekko.
Adrian Riven (1,300 Upvotes)
While the complete character roster for the game is not yet known, many hope in the comments for a good diverse roster.
There are also already wishes regarding the various champions that should be playable in the Beat’em’Up. With over 140 champions, League of Legends has a very long list from which they can choose as they please. In the comments on various platforms, there have been requests for:
Warwick
Veigar
Kayn
Azir
I’ll only be able to win in the game if they [Riot] add Yuumi and let me sit on the back of the pro-gamers.

The official tweet about the announcement has over 56,000 likes and the number keeps rising.
Also, on the official LoL subreddit, many are excited about the new game. The thread about the trailer has gathered almost 9,500 upvotes and is currently (11/21/2021, 12:40 PM) in first place on the subreddit.
The fans there are pleased that Riot is finally expanding the LoL IP after 10 years and producing spin-offs like the RPG Ruined King, Project L, and also the popular TV series Arcane. Some jokes are also made in the thread. For example, users ironchicken45 and Cerinthus write:
I can’t wait for the League community to meet the fighting game community.
I’m sorry guys, but FGC will devour us whole.
The users assess their chances against the hardcore Beat’em’Up gamers with decades of experience as rather low, but still look forward to Project L.
After the release of the RPG Ruined King and the new trailer for Project L, fans are also repeatedly expressing their thoughts on the upcoming MMORPG in the LoL universe. Although not much is known about it yet, the positive impressions from the two spin-offs give fans hope that the MMORPG will also be good.
Your graphics card is incredibly loud when you play demanding games? MeinMMO author Benedikt Schlotmann had this annoying issue and has now cleaned his graphics card. And it has definitely paid off.
If you don’t feel like investing thousands of euros in a new graphics card at this time, then you are forced to play on an older graphics card.
But one thing has really driven me crazy over the past few weeks: Whenever I play a more demanding game, my installed graphics card starts making a terrible noise. The fans ramp up significantly and easily reach 3000 RPM.
Some of you may know this from your PlayStation 4, which can also become very loud. And it’s really annoying when you want to play, but next to you, the PC or console sounds like an airplane. You can also do a lot against a loud PS4, such as cleaning the console properly.
This was my plan: Since the noise was annoying me, I invested in new thermal paste for about 5 euros and also grabbed my screwdriver set. My goal was to thoroughly clean the graphics card and see if the effort was worth it.
Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.
In the following section, I will explain how I went about it and whether the effort and the investment of 5 euros really paid off.
Replacing the thermal paste on the graphics card takes about 30 minutes
This is how I proceeded:
First, I removed my graphics card from my desktop PC.
Then I removed the four screws on the top of the graphics card. Now I could detach the circuit board from the cooler.
Here I had to be extremely careful because the cooler is attached to the circuit board with a small cable.
Now I could remove the thermal paste from the graphics chip and the fins. I used cotton swabs for this.
The four screws had to be removed
After that, I could apply the new thermal paste. There’s really no significant difference to a processor. The thermal paste is applied similarly to the graphics card, and you should use less rather than more.
Then I reassembled the graphics card, placed the cooling system back on the graphics card, and then tightened the screws. I had to be careful with the cable again.
The opened graphics card. Top left is the cable that I had to be extremely careful with.
Was it worth the effort? Yes, fundamentally, the effort to replace the thermal paste on the graphics card was indeed worth it.
Under heavy load, the graphics card now reaches 73 to 74 degrees instead of 78 degrees.
The fans of the graphics card now turn at a maximum of 2500 RPM and no longer around 3000 RPM. The noise level has dropped significantly.

If you compare the pictures I took with the small tool HWMonitor, you can clearly see that the numbers under load have improved significantly.
While the graphics card previously reached close to 3000 RPM under load (2912 in the picture), it now maxes out at 2543 RPM. This difference is noticeably apparent when gaming.
If you want to see how to disassemble, clean, and then reassemble a graphics card, check out the following video from Gamers Nexus. The well-known YouTube channel has demonstrated how to proceed best:

The YouTube channel “Gamers Nexus” cleans a graphics card.
It can definitely be worthwhile to clean a graphics card
Should you do it? You should definitely not do this if your graphics card is still quite new and you still have a warranty on it.
With some manufacturers, the warranty expires as soon as you open the graphics card. It’s best to check the enclosed manual or the manufacturer’s website. Often, one screw is sealed, and you have to break the seal if you want to open the graphics card.
However, very old graphics cards often have already reached their “end of life.” The graphics cards are no longer manufactured.
But if you have been using your graphics card for years and the warranty has long expired, it can definitely be worth it to open the graphics card and replace the thermal paste. The effort for me was around 30 minutes and the costs are absolutely minimal.
You should consider: Every graphics card looks different, and my graphics card was just an example. In my case, I had to remove 4 screws to get to the graphics card circuit board. In some cases, however, you may need to remove significantly more screws – especially if you have a specific model with a backplate.
In addition, you can also replace the thermal pads on the graphics card, which are often found on the cooling system as well. I actually spared myself that effort. Here you’d incur an additional cost of around 10 euros if you want to buy new thermal pads.
On YouTube, you can find a video for almost every graphics card showing how to properly disassemble and clean the card.
If you feel like cleaning your graphics card now: Be aware that you do this at your own risk. MeinMMO takes no responsibility for any damage you cause.
And if you have already bought a new graphics card, maybe your old graphics card is worth more than you think:

To level up the 22 weapons available at the launch of Battlefield 2042, it takes some patience. However, there is a simple trick to do this quickly and easily. MeinMMO explains how.
In Battlefield 2042, you can level up all your weapons. With new levels, you unlock new attachments and skins for your weapon. The attachments can completely change the feel of the weapon – and perhaps also your effectiveness with it.
To unlock all attachments for a weapon in Battlefield 2042, you need approximately 400 kills with that weapon. With 22 weapons, this can take a long time in regular matches.
Fortunately, there is a trick to quickly and easily collect these kills. The best part: Your farming method doesn’t even annoy other players. You can see which weapons are available to level up in our list: All 22 weapons in Battlefield 2042 at a glance: Their pros and cons
Important Information: Currently, this method is limited to the first attachments for each weapon. According to the developers, this limitation is expected to be lifted with a later patch (via Twitter).
For many weapons, the first attachments that you can unlock are the most important and useful. Therefore, this method is still worthwhile despite this limitation.
Once this limitation is lifted, we will update this article.
Leveling up weapons and unlocking attachments against bots
In Battlefield 2042, it is possible to level up your weapons by getting kills in bot matches. Killed bots count towards the kills you need to unlock weapon attachments. Since you can set the bots to a low difficulty, this method is quick and easy.
How to start a bot match: To start a match against bots, you need to follow these steps:
Select ‘All-Out Warfare’ in the start menu.
Go to “Change Game Mode.”
With Mouse & Keyboard: Click on the text “Change Game Mode” in the box at the bottom left.
With Controller: Press X (Xbox) or Square (Playstation)
Select “Solo & Coop” at the top right
With Mouse & Keyboard: Click on the text “Solo & Coop.”
With Controller: Press RB (Xbox) or R1 (Playstation)
Select between Conquest or Breakthrough
Optional: Change the difficulty of the bots and the map
With Mouse & Keyboard: Press ‘F.’
With Controller: Press Y (Xbox) or Triangle (Playstation)
Exit the screen and start the game
In the box at the bottom left, you will find the option “Change Game Mode”
This is how this method works: After a few moments, you should be in the bot match. Now try to kill as many bots as possible. However, make sure to use the weapon you want to level up for the kills.
As mentioned in our XP-Farming Guide, we recommend the ‘Breakthrough’ mode here. Although you cannot endlessly use this farming method against bots, you will be faster in the action this way. This helps you quickly gather many kills.
You should quickly see that thanks to this method, you unlock several attachments with new weapons.
Currently, the number of unlockable attachments per weapon is limited. We recommend using many different weapons. You currently cannot level up infinitely. However, the possibilities now are still enough to give you an advantage.
These attachments for the SFAR-M GL were unlocked in a bot match.
With this method, you can quickly and easily level up the new weapons you have unlocked to a level that helps you in real matches. This is especially recommended for the currently best weapons.
Will you use this method to gain an early advantage? Do you think leveling up weapons in Battlefield 2042 is fun? Or do you find the required number of kills unreasonable? Let us know in the comments.
The next addon of World of Warcraft could lead the heroes back home. The clues for this are slowly intensifying.
Even though World of Warcraft is currently heading towards Patch 9.2, many players are already wondering where the story will go with the next addon. Update 10.0 will likely be a test for many fans of the game to see if “WoW can make a comeback”. Because not everyone liked the strange setting of the Shadowlands, which has very little to do with the original Azeroth.
There is great hope that the 9th expansion of World of Warcraft will take place back on Azeroth. There are already initial clues about this – some hidden in the game data, others can be derived from promotional material.
A first hint that Azeroth is coming back into focus is already provided by a small teaser from Blizzard itself. Blizzard has informed some former players via email that Patch 9.2 is coming soon. The last sentence is particularly exciting:
“Prepare to face your fate in ‘End of Eternity’ – the soul of Azeroth depends on it!”
The “soul of Azeroth” has hardly been mentioned in Shadowlands. It was only mentioned once during the intro experience when the Jailer declared: “Death comes for the soul of your world.”
Thus, it is clear that Azeroth will play at least a role in Patch 9.2.
But there are more clues about it. In one of the already released screenshots for Patch 9.2, we see the Jailer – presumably as a boss in the upcoming raid. However, if you look closely, you can see in the background the blue-golden-white colors of an energy beam – the color of Azerite or in other words: the life essence of the planet Azeroth.
This has even been confirmed. Data mining for Patch 9.2 reveals that Azeroth is being attacked directly by the Jailer and thus wants to injure or even kill Azeroth. However, how this will end is still unknown.
You can clearly see the color of Azerite in the background.
What exactly the Jailer is planning is still unclear. Some suspect that he simply wants to “drain” the soul of the planet and intends to use the connection between Icecrown and Torghast, as illustrated by a Reddit user here:

Others suspect that he wants to use his ruling magic to subjugate Azeroth and possibly force its awakening – whatever that would entail. After all, Azeroth is the most powerful Titan of the known Warcraft universe. In the past, however, it has been significantly weakened, as the Old Gods have taken root and recently Sargeras drove his sword into it, which brought Azerite to the surface.
The suspicion is strong: In Patch 9.2, something will happen with Azeroth’s soul that at least injures it and ensures that we are traveling again on the surface of the planet in the next expansion to fix the resulting problems.
One of these problems could be the Void Lords or a resurgence of the Old Gods. Because if the Jailer Zovaal really completes his plan and manages to kill or severely injure Azeroth, a saying from Il’gynoth would again be relevant:
“At the hour of her third death, she heralds our coming.”
Once again, it would be possible that Il’gynoth is pointing to this very circumstance.
Major overhaul of the world with Patch 10.0?
But even apart from Patch 9.2, there are hints that it will soon be back to Azeroth and even that some things will be overhauled. In recent years, Blizzard has begun to spruce up the PvP battlegrounds. Especially Warsong Gulch looks really nice again after the graphical overhaul. It contains so many different assets that it would be a waste not to transfer them to places like the Barrens, Azshara, or Darkshore.
More news about World of Warcraft can be found here:
The most puzzling are the new houses that were smuggled into the game data with Patch 9.1. These are 4 buildings from the human areas – the tavern, the small house, the large house, and the stable. All four buildings received a very detailed HD overhaul with completely new textures and slight design changes, but have not yet been integrated into the game.
Old “large house”.
New “large house”.
Old “small house”.
New “small house”.
Old interior design of the tavern.
New interior design of the tavern.
That Blizzard would “just casually” overhaul a few buildings seems rather unlikely. While it is possible that they are only preparing to update some individual areas (like Elwynn Forest), a major overhaul in the sense of “Cataclysm 2.0” with a possible time jump seems conceivable. After all, the original release of Cataclysm was almost 11 years ago.
Whether Blizzard will truly dare a second, larger rework or if the story with Patch 10.0 is heading towards “new areas in Azeroth” – like the Dragon Isles – remains to be seen. However, there are so many hints that a renewed focus on Azeroth is quite likely.
What would you like to see for 10.0? Where do you think the next expansion should take place and what should it contain?

Battlefield Portal gives the community numerous tools to create their own modes in Battlefield 2042. Now, a player has designed a crazy training mode for the wingsuit, which is well-received by players. This strongly resembles the classic Superman 64.
What is Battlefield Portal? The mode is one of four game modes in Battlefield 2042. In addition to content from three of the biggest Battlefield classics like Battlefield 1942, Battlefield Bad Company 2, and Battlefield 3, the mode also provides the ability to create custom modes and share them with other players.
Whether “Zombie” mode, knife duel, or defibrillator battle, the editor of Battlefield Portal offers numerous options for creation. You can find more about this in our overview of Battlefield Portal.
The player andygmb has now creatively shown what one can do with Portal through a crazy game mode. He has designed a training course for the wingsuit that strongly reminds of games like Superman 64 or Lylat Wars.
Here you can see it in the video:

Crazy Portal Mode with AI Bot Rings for Flight Training
This is what the player has built: He has designed a training mode for the wingsuit on the map Kaleidoscope. You start on one of the tall skyscrapers and must fly through rings from there.
The twist: The rings consist of AI opponents flying in circles with parachutes. This looks quite crazy but serves its purpose. You can simply glide through the rings with the wingsuit and test your flying skills.
Why AI bots as rings? While Portal provides numerous tools, there are also limits. Players cannot create their own designs or change the map.
Therefore, andygmb simply used the bots as the only option to represent the flight rings. Many players are certainly excited about it.
This is how the community reacts: The player published his creation in the subreddit for Battlefield 2042 and receives a lot of positive feedback there.
“This is exactly the kind of creativity I hoped for from Portal!” (via reddit) and “This is the funniest thing I’ve ever seen” (via reddit) are just a few of the positive reactions.
Gojirob also writes: “This is so clever and I can imagine this becoming a potential game mode, like a portal mode where you race with a wingsuit. Absolutely creative and genius. Bravo!” (via reddit)
Monknicious feels reminded of a classic from the Nintendo 64, released in 1999: Superman 64 (via reddit). Here, you also had to fly through rings:

Battlefield Portal is the Best Thing About Battlefield 2042 for Many
This is why the mode is so well received: For many fans, the mode is a silver lining and possibly the most popular. Because Battlefield 2042 had a rocky start, was torn apart on Steam, and also made some changes to the core mechanics of the Battlefield series.
For many, these are unnecessary things; they just want the pure, classic Battlefield experience, with the typical classes and modes like Conquest, without frills.
Battlefield Portal delivers just that and also includes three different classics with map remakes that are popular with fans for various reasons. So you can choose what kind of Battlefield experience you feel like having.
Later, additional maps and Battlefield spin-offs are also to be added to the mode. That’s why players like bmg50barrett believe: “Portal is truly something amazing. They should have just released that [the mode] and more remasters of old maps.” (via reddit)
It remains to be seen which classics and maps will come to Battlefield Portal next. There are enough candidates. For example, Battlefield 2142 is considered a popular spin-off of the series and would certainly bring even more variety to Battlefield 2042 with its sci-fi elements.
Newer spin-offs like Battlefield 1 or Battlefield V are also possible. It remains to be seen what the developers at Ripple Effect Studios, who are responsible for the mode, have planned for the future.
What do you think of the flight mode? Have you seen other creative ideas, or perhaps even built some yourself? Let us know in the comments.
December is just around the corner and so is the next round of bonus games for PS Plus subscribers. In this article, you will find rumors and speculations about which games could be available in December.
What is being speculated: Every month, PlayStation fans speculate about which games could be available to PS Plus subscribers in the coming month. For December, there is a fan theory suggesting that the game Heavenly Bodies will be among the free bonus games.
It is a new game set to be released on PC, PS4, and PS5, with the release date coinciding with the possible release of the next batch of PS Plus games: December 7. If we do not take into account the MMORPG expansion FFXIV: Endwalker, which does not require PS Plus, it is the only game launching on that day.
In the past, Sony has occasionally made PS5 games available for free on PS Plus immediately at launch. This includes Hell Let Loose, which celebrated its release on consoles in October and became a Plus title right away.
Heavenly Bodies is an indie game where you must navigate in zero gravity and solve puzzles. It’s not as easy as it sounds. You can watch the trailer here:
Among the wishes for PS Plus games, titles like Nier Automata and Crash Bandicoot: It’s About Time were mentioned on YouTube and social media.
By now, Sony has apparently accidentally confirmed the leaks in an official tweet. Here you can find all the information about the new games:
This is the release issue in December: The new PS Plus games are usually announced on the last Wednesday of the month. This month, that would be November 24.
The release of the new Plus games takes place on the first Tuesday of the following month. In December, that will be the 7th. Therefore, there are two possibilities regarding when the Plus games will be announced and released:
Option 1: Announcement of the games on November 24 and release on December 1
Option 2: Announcement of the games on December 1 and release on December 7.
Speculation tends to lean more towards the second option, especially since Heavenly Bodies is celebrating its release on December 7.
Keep in mind that there may be irregularities in both the announcement and the release, and both can be delayed.
More about Sony and PlayStation on MeinMMO can be found here:
These are the games available for PS Plus in November: Currently, you can still grab the following PS Plus games in November. In addition to the usual 3 games, there are 3 additional bonus games for PlayStation VR:
If you have a PS Plus subscription and want to download the games, it’s best to do so by December 1. They will remain in your library even after the subscription expires and can be played if you renew your subscription.

The second season of the Netflix series Arcane based on League of Legends is confirmed. It is currently in production. The first hints about a release and a trailer come directly from Riot.
What’s new? Riot Games and Netflix confirmed the second season of the series Arcane. Co-creators of Arcane, Christian Linke and Alex Yee, say: “We are thrilled with the positive feedback on the first season of Arcane and are working hard with the creative wizards at Riot and Fortiche to deliver the second portion.”
Via Twitter, the CEO of Riot Games, Nicolo Laurent, gives a first hint at a release date for Arcane Season 2. Here, we show you all the information that is already known about the second season of Arcane.
Season 2 of Arcane – Release, Trailer, First Info
Trailer: The new trailer for Season 2 of Arcane “shows” not much, but “tells” a few details. Listen and watch it here:

LoL players might hear a familiar sound in the trailer, which you know from the character Warwick and his ability Blood Hunt. This could be a teaser for one of the characters from Season 2.
Release date for Season 2: On Twitter , Nicolo Laurent, the CEO of Riot Games, writes that they are already working on Season 2. He adds: “The good news is: You do not have to wait 6 years for it (That’s how long Season 1 took us). The bad news: It will not come in 2022 :'(“
This tweet causes many discussions in the LoL community and among fans of Arcane. A few have the hope that Riot secretly worked on Season 2 during the six years and that we might see the first episodes as early as 2021.
However, at this point, it is more likely that Season 2 of Arcane will have a release date in 2023 or 2024.
How did the first season go? Immediately upon the release of Arcane on Netflix, the series celebrated great success. On IMDB, the series ranks with a rating of 9.4 / 10 based on 37,000 ratings (as of November 21 via IMDB). With this rating, Arcane is similarly strong as heavyweight shows:
One Earth – Many Worlds from 2016 with a rating of 9.5
Planet Earth from 2006 with a rating of 9.4
Breaking Bad from 2008 with a rating of 9.4
Band of Brothers from 2001 with a rating of 9.4
Chernobyl from 2019 with a rating of 9.3
Keep in mind that the other series in this top 6 have all already received over 100,000 ratings, and with more ratings, Arcane’s rating can still change.
Call of Duty: Vanguard offers a multiplayer map Gavutu with a camper spot that is very hard to crack. Much to the delight of the camper who always sits there at some point and farms countless kills. But with our tips on MeinMMO, you will bring the camper down from his hunter stand!
What is Gavutu? Gavutu is a small Pacific island and one of the larger maps in multiplayer of Call of Duty: Vanguard. The map consists of a coastal battery, a building complex, a watchtower, and a stranded US landing ship.
What is the problem with the camper? The shipwreck, which has deep-set and seriously damaged itself into the beach, houses one of the worst camper spots in the game.
For the fortified tower at the bow of the ship overlooks large parts of the map and thus provides an ideal location for camping snipers. Who takes cover there is hard to hit and has an open shooting field on large parts of the map – or not?
[toc]
10 ways to ruin the camper’s fun.
This is how you get the camper: Anyone who has played Gavutu has suffered under the camper. But there are several methods to shoot him out of his camper fortress of solitude. The tips come from a video by CoD expert TheXclusiveAce on YouTube.
You can take the camper out from any side.
Anti-camper point 1 – South of the house
Where is it? Directly south of the long house that runs parallel to the ship, you can climb a rise. From there you can see the camper’s head peeking over the roof. If the camper crouches down, you can still see him when you jump. So make a little hop and blast him with a precise rifle!
Anti-camper point 2 – From below through the house!
Where is it? If you go down the ramp south of the long house, you can spot the camper through the opposite holes in the walls with some skill. The chances of him noticing you are quite low. From this position, you can give him a headshot with a fairly precise assault rifle without needing a DMR or sniper rifle.
Also cool: You can also catch campers who are having a party on the deck of the ship.
Anti-camper point 3 – Through the grid in the basement
Where is it? When you enter the basement of the long house, you can see a wire mesh on the right. If you look through here, you can spot the camper in his hiding spot and shoot him with some skill. But be careful not to get caught by campers on the deck of the ship.
Anti-camper point 4 – Over the shelf by the ammunition crates
Where is it? When you enter the upper floor of the long house, you must resist the temptation to shoot the camper through the windows. He has a clear advantage there.
So it’s better to go all the way to the west in the house. There is a wooden shelf with some ammunition crates in front of it. Jump on the crates and peek over the shelf. This way, you can spot the camper who shouldn’t be able to see you.
Anti-camper point 5 – The Death Palm
Where is it? When coming from the east, there is a rise at the foot of which a slanted palm tree grows. Through the bushes there you are perfectly camouflaged, but you can ideally spot the camper and shoot him from a distance.
Anti-camper point 6 – Right next to the artillery position
Where is it? A surprising spot from which you can take out the camper is the artillery position. Stand next to the wall in the south and you have an amazingly clear shooting angle on the camper.
Alternatively, you can also jump on the wall and get an even better angle, but that also exposes you more.
Anti-camper point 7 – Over the red barrels
Where is it? At the artillery position, there are a few red barrels. They are explosive and probably won’t be around for long in the match. But while they are there, you can climb the wall crown and have a good fire angle on the camper.
Anti-camper point 8 – Over the rocks in the north
Where is it? In the north of the map, there is a curved rock. There you can look over the stones by half climbing up a sort of invisible spot. This gives you a good shooting angle on the camper.
Anti-camper point 9 – Over the truck
Where is it? In the northwest of the map, there is a lonely little truck. Jump on its hood and you can peek over the roof of the vehicle and see and shoot the camper.
Anti-camper point 10 – Next to the rocks south of the truck
Where is it? South of the truck is a rock. On its western flank, you can peek along and see the camper well in his hiding place.
So much for the top 10 spots to ruin the fun for the most annoying camper in the game. Do you know any more good counter spots? Then let us know in the comments.

Is the ticket for the Community Day in November 2021 worth it?
What you need to consider: The value of the items you receive as rewards for the quests is higher than the ticket price of €1. Because in the ticket, you receive among other things:
A Rocket Radar that actually costs 200 coins, or about €2
A Star Piece that individually costs 100 coins, or about €1
In addition, you receive 2 silver Razz Berries, 15 Poké Balls, 15 Ultra Balls, and 15 Hyper Balls as well as 5,000 Stardust (minus the dust you need for the power-ups).
So if you are generally interested in these items, you can purchase them at a lower price through the ticket. In this case, the purchase is worth it for you.
If you are not interested in the items and can do without the strong Pokémon in the Pokémon encounters, then the purchase is not really worth it for you.

Community Day in November 2021 – Start time and bonuses
What? The Community Day with Sheinux When? Sunday, November 21, 2021, from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM local time Pokémon of the Day: Sheinux spawns more frequently in the wild during the event Exclusive Attack: Psychobeißer, when you evolve Sheinux into Luxtra within two hours after the event Bonuses: – Incense lasts 3 hours – Lures last 3 hours – Eggs hatch four times faster – 3 times candies for sending – 4 times chance to receive an XL candy when sending – 3 free raid passes at gyms (up to two hours after the event) – 25% less Stardust cost when trading (up to two hours after the event)

How to make the most of the Community Day in November
What preparations should you make? As always, you need space in your Pokémon storage to catch the monsters. But be careful: it’s best not to send off the sorted-out Pokémon just yet; hold on to them until the Community Day starts.
This way, you can secure extra candies for the monsters and may also get some XL candies. For better sorting, it’s best to use the tag feature in the game. This will allow you to clean out your monsters before the event, and on C-Day, you only have to send all the Pokémon from that tag.
To do this, just go into your Pokémon storage and click on the “Tag” category. You can create a tag using the plus symbol. By marking the corresponding monsters, you can then assign the respective tag. This will save you a lot of time for the Community Day.
Tags in the Pokémon Storage
In addition to the free spaces in your Pokémon storage, you should definitely stock up on a good supply of balls. You will need these for catching. If you want to play all day, you should have saved at least 350 balls to avoid having to spin a PokéStop or a gym too quickly.
Which items are important for the C-Day?
Sheinux brings you a special event charge attack for its evolution on this day. If you want to have it, Sheinux must be evolved within two hours after the Community Day. For this, you will need corresponding candies.
It’s advisable to use an Incense or a Lure to attract as many specimens as possible. Additionally, using Nanab Berries while catching will double your candies. With the added candy bonus and the increased chance of obtaining XL candies when sending Pokémon, it’s definitely worth catching as many Sheinux as possible.
Additionally, you should take advantage of the egg bonus. Through the current Sinnoh event, you will receive great monsters from 7 km eggs. However, there’s also some rare specimens hidden in the 10 and 12 km eggs that you can hatch much faster this way. It’s worth using multiple incubators at the same time.

Is the Community Day in November worth it? Shiny and Psychobeißer
How strong will it be: Sheinux belongs to the Electric Pokémon of the 4th generation. It evolves to Luxtra via Luxio. Sheinux and Luxio are not among the strongest monsters in the game. Especially in defense, they are weak.
The final evolution Luxtra, however, can score especially in attack and belongs to the strongest Electric attackers in Pokémon GO. In the PvP league, however, it is not the best candidate according to PvPoke.
With its event attack Psychobeißer, it is also able to weaken the defense of its opponents and is more effective against fighting and poison attackers. In trainer battles, Luxtra deals 40 damage, but only 30 in raids and gym battles.
Is there a shiny Sheinux? Yes, Sheinux can also be obtained in its shiny form in the game. You can recognize it by its golden-yellow body.
Sheinux, Luxio, and Luxtra normal (left) and as shiny (right)
Is the event worth it? The Community Day with Sheinux is worth it for many reasons. If you are looking for a strong Electric attacker for use in raids, you should secure a good specimen on this day. And shiny hunters will also get their fill at this event.
But don’t overlook the bonuses either. With the reduced hatching distance, it’s especially worth hatching larger eggs, like 10 or 12 km eggs. Even with just one incubator, you can hatch several during the event.
And the two candy bonuses for sending Pokémon are also really worth it. If you were planning to sort out monsters anyway, you should better wait until the Community Day to make the most of it.
All trainers who are speculating on a lucky Pokémon or want to trade for a special monster should also do this on Community Day. With the reduced Stardust costs, you can trade very cheaply on this day and save a lot of this valuable resource.
How do you find the bonuses for the Community Day with Sheinux? How do you prepare for this day? And what do you absolutely not want to miss? Share your opinion with us in the comments and exchange ideas with other trainers on this topic.
