CoD Cold War: New Warzone Map & Info about Season 1 in the big leak

Maik Schneider 2. December 2020 Reading time 5 minutes

Data miners have found images in the data of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War that reveal a lot about the content of Season 1. MeinMMO summarizes the new information and shows what is likely to be coming to the game on December 10th.

What happened? On the night of December 1st to 2nd, data miners released many images from the data of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, which probably provide a good insight into the upcoming content. Particularly, the Twitter account “@BlackOpsLeaks” provided a lot of information about the supposed content of the first season.

MeinMMO has looked at the images and gathered the information for you.

However, keep in mind that this information is unconfirmed and should be received with some skepticism. How and what ultimately comes with Season 1 will only be revealed on December 10th, when the season goes live. Here you will find the most important information about Season 1 of Cold War.

Cold War: Leaks for Season 1, Christmas & Rebirth Island

First look at the new Warzone map “Rebirth”
Christmas version of the classic map Nuketown
All new 6v6 maps for Season 1
Skins for the new weapons
Information on the 2v2 Gunfight mode
Dropkick game mode
Buyable Season 1 starter pack
An exclusive Combat Pack for PlayStation
Lots of information about the Battle Pass skins
Images of cosmetic bundles that will be released soon

What’s new with the Warzone map? The latest leak aligns with player speculations. The roadmap for Season 1 already showed hints for a “Rebirth Island” map for Warzone. A leaderboard for this was even briefly in the game. Now there is the first image of it:

https://twitter.com/BlackOpsLeaks/status/1333931236528517120

“Rebirth Island” is likely an updated version of a DLC map from Warzone’s predecessor “Blackout,” the battle royale from Black Ops 4. It is said to be slightly larger than the original but generally smaller than the current Warzone map “Verdansk.”

What’s new with Nuketown? The classic map was added to the game on November 24th as the first new map after release and will likely look a bit different over the holidays:

https://twitter.com/TheGhostOfMW2/status/1333903655356026881

The small model town will apparently receive a Christmas makeover, with many festive elements, such as fairy lights, Christmas trees, and festive wreaths. You might also see a crazy Easter egg again. Last year, Modern Warfare included a cool Easter egg in the “Back to the Future” style.

What’s new with the 6v6 maps for Season 1? The data miners found two new 6v6 maps in the data that could be coming with Season 1:

Raid
Mall

https://twitter.com/BlackOpsLeaks/status/1333931833126359040

“Raid” is a well-known map set on a large estate and has already been available in Black Ops 2 and Black Ops 4. With “Mall,” a completely new map is coming to the game, which can probably already be seen on the roadmap (image with “New Multiplayer Maps & Modes”).

What’s new with the new weapons? In the data, skins for two weapons that are not yet part of the arsenal in Cold War were found. A skin for a submachine gun that resembles the “MAC 11” from CoD 4 and Black Ops 1, as well as a skin for the assault rifle Groza. The data suggest that these two guns are from the Battle Pass:

https://twitter.com/TheGhostOfMW2/status/1333921880852623361

The assault rifle was already part of the speculations, as players believe they have identified the Groza on the roadmap. The second weapon, however, was previously thought to be the Striker Shotgun, with speculation that the operator Adler holds it on the roadmap. However, the shotgun may come as a third weapon. In Modern Warfare, the “Season Reloaded” updates often introduced a third weapon that you could unlock through a challenge.

What’s new with the Gunfight mode? The exciting 2v2 gunfights are returning with Cold War and have already been announced for the first season. Now the maps are also known:

https://twitter.com/TheGhostOfMW2/status/1333905189510766593

Four completely new maps tailored for the small mode are likely to be introduced.

What’s new with the Dropkick mode? A few days ago, the first information about the Dropkick mode leaked when the loading screen for the squad mode showed information about it (GamePro reported). Now there is supposedly an image of the mode:

https://twitter.com/TheGhostOfMW2/status/1333908446614347776

The loading screen suggested: “If you die while your team holds the objective, you cannot respawn until the bearer is eliminated.” It could be a mode where you have to deliver a package to a mission objective before your team is completely wiped out. If you don’t manage that, the other team might have a chance to secure the objective and bring it to the mission site. However, how the mode ultimately looks is still not entirely clear.

What is the starter pack for Season 1? Just like Warzone, Cold War is also likely to offer a budget starter pack that allows you to secure some cosmetics and CoD points:

CoD Points
Adler Skin
Level skip for the Battle Pass
Emblem
Calling card

The details of the package are not yet known. If it is structured similarly to the Warzone package, it will also cost around 5 euros and provide you with 500 CoD Points in addition to the cosmetics.

What is the Combat Pack for PlayStation? In the months since the release of Warzone, PlayStation players have been able to claim free skin bundles for Warzone from time to time. For all players with PlayStation Plus, this seems to be the case again in the “Cold War” era:

https://twitter.com/TheGhostOfMW2/status/1333910207391543298

However, it is still unclear whether it will work like before. The image shows an operator skin, a weapon blueprint, and a watch for Warzone. But the picture lacks any hints about PlayStation.

What’s new with the Battle Pass? The images for the contents of the Battle Pass are currently not so easy to find on Twitter. One image shows 7 operator skins and 6 weapon blueprints, which are likely to be the highlights of the items from the Battle Pass of Season 1. You can see an image with 3 of the skins here:

https://twitter.com/TheGhostOfMW2/status/1333906853475082241

Particularly, one operator stands out in the image with the 7 skins, who is not yet available. The character is likely named “Stitch” and comes into play with a mask. In the Battle Pass, he wears a face shield that resembles Hannibal Lecter’s muzzle from the Hannibal films.

What about other bundles? Additionally, the leak showed a lot of images of bundles that will likely come to the game soon:

Red, Green and Purple Tracer Packs
Bundle with a new operator: Zeyna
Colorful skins for tanks
Christmas bundles
Crazy clown skin

https://twitter.com/TheGhostOfMW2/status/1333920411126554627

Overall, everything looks significantly more colorful than in the predecessor Modern Warfare. Although the skins at the end of CoD MW also became crazier, Black Ops Cold War brings more color to the game right from the start.

The first season is exciting for CoD players not only because of its content. With the launch on December 10th, Warzone, CoD MW & Cold War will merge and then share a progress system. Additionally, there should be a large influx of new weapons in the battle royale, taken from Cold War. It will be interesting to see how all of this works together.

A draw will determine who can buy an Xbox Series X at this dealer

Irina Moritz 2. December 2020 Reading time 3 minutes

The English retailer Box has introduced a new method for anyone who wants to order the Xbox Series X in December. It will be decided by a drawing.

The availability of the new consoles Xbox Series X and PS5 is currently the big topic in gaming. Many people are waiting for online retailers to finally receive more stock. One such retailer is Box.co.uk, who plan to use a different method for their upcoming sales waves in December.

Here’s how the sale at Box will work: On their online site, Box announced that new allocations of the Xbox Series X will be available on December 7 and 14.

To have a chance at the coveted console, buyers must register in advance. They need to provide the following information:

Email address
full name
gender
date of birth

The registrations will then be collected by the retailer and entered into a drawing. Those buyers who are drawn will receive an invitation to purchase the Xbox Series X. This is intended to ensure more fairness in the sale.

Box did not specify in the statement on their site how many new consoles they will actually receive. Therefore, it should be assumed that certainly not all potential buyers will have a chance at an Xbox Series X.

However, the drawing will take place well before Christmas so that the consoles can end up under the Christmas trees of the lucky winners.

More on the topic

Xbox chief apologizes: Series X and S will remain scarce until 2021

von Andreas Bertits

What is the point? During the previous sales waves of the new consoles Xbox Series X and PS5, there were regular instances where the retailer sites could not handle the rush of buyers. Even the giant Amazon crashed.

A lottery for console purchases, for which one must register in advance, would certainly prevent overloads on Box’s servers. Buyers also won’t have to be at their PCs at a specific time to spam F5 and hope to get through.

However, whether this will be a good measure against bot buyers is hard to predict, as they can still register with multiple accounts for the lottery.

Is this still being used anywhere else? The method Box is applying in the case of new consoles is not uncommon. In Japan, for example, concert tickets are often distributed through a lottery system. Concerts by certain artists or idols are so popular that tickets sell out just as quickly as the new consoles do now.
But also popular fan items or other types of events are sold via lotteries. This included, for example, the tickets to the Fan Festival of Final Fantasy XIV in 2016.

The current situation regarding new consoles

This is the situation in Germany: The Xbox Series X is also a scarce item here. On December 1, the console was available again at OTTO, but was completely sold out within minutes. The console is sold out in Germany.

The situation is similar for the PS5. The third sales wave of the Sony console caused online shops of various wholesalers to crash.

However, there are still quite a few units of both next-gen consoles available on eBay. They are being resold by groups of bot users at extremely high prices, profiting from the scarcity of goods and the extremely high demand:

The prices for such consoles on eBay go up to 2,500 €, which has angered some fans.

Do you find Box.co.uk’s system fair? Would you like to see it with German retailers as well? Or is it nonsense and will not prevent bot buyers from grabbing up huge quantities of consoles again?

Twitch warns 132,000 Fortnite streamers: Better not to risk a ban

Schuhmann 2. December 2020 Reading time 3 minutes

The big live event marking the end of Season 4 on Fortnite was streamed on over 132,000 channels on Twitch. However, Twitch later made a recommendation: People should rather not take risks and delete all clips and videos of the event. Because the clips could contain copyright violations, leading to a DMCA strike and, in the worst case, a Twitch ban.

What happened yesterday? Last night, on December 1st, the world of Fortnite came crashing down again. Season 4 of Fortnite ended in a gigantic final battle against the Marvel supervillain Galactus.

For the event, Fortnite reached a high peak on Twitch. According to the site Twitchtracker , at the peak of the live event, 132,973 channels were live on Twitch, streaming Fortnite. This is the highest value ever recorded. The previous record was set in June 2020 – when the “Doomsday Event” happened.

So much Fortnite was too much for Twitch, the service even crashed.

https://twitter.com/timthetatman/status/1333941971027681283

TimTheTatman streamed the event live on Twitch.

Consider deleting all clips and videos to avoid risks

This is what Twitch recommended to the streamers: After the event, Twitch support reached out via Twitter

“If you streamed the Fortnite event “Nexus War” and want to be cautious about risking a copyright strike for the music during the event, consider exporting/downloading the videos and clips and then deleting everything.”

Link to the Twitter content

Twitch referred to its own FAQ regarding these copyright strikes. There, it is stated that “repeat offenders” will be banned from Twitch, meaning people who have violated copyright multiple times.

This is no joke, in recent weeks, these DMCA strikes have already spread fear and terror on Twitch. Even summit1g was quite scared of being permanently banned from Twitch. And he is one of the biggest streamers on the platform.

Copyright penalties for streamers – Twitch admits: “This is on us”

von Jürgen Horn

This is the reaction: Twitch’s recommendation seems a bit odd to the streamers.

A user asks: “Are you saying it’s okay to stream copyrighted music and then just delete the evidence? You’re sending mixed signals here.” (via twitter)
Another user demands: “You as a company need to come up with a solution. Sometimes you bite off more than you can chew and need to find a solution. Just providing a platform is not enough. I love you guys, but you need to step up your game.” (via twitter)
A third user says: “So you’re telling me that because a game I’m playing uses copyrighted music at its own event, I could still get a copyright strike? Come on… that’s quite something.” (via twitter)

Why Twitch is so important for gaming – Listen to it in the MeinMMO podcast

Find out here the impact streaming and Twitch have on gaming, the industry, and us as players.

To the podcast on Spotify

The music industry apparently wants to see money

This is what’s behind it: Currently, Twitch is in a difficult position. During the pandemic, Twitch has come into the spotlight of the music industry. Suddenly, “copyrighted music on Twitch” is a major topic.

This has been a major, unresolved field simmering for years. Twitch said: They never received more than 50 copyright complaints a year – now they receive thousands every month. Twitch is obligated to follow up on these complaints and take action.

As long as the problem is not definitively resolved, Twitch is passing the music industry’s pressure onto the streamers. The music industry is urging Twitch to find a solution, which apparently involves compensating musicians appropriately and sharing in the revenue.

The music industry wants to participate in the tremendous growth of Twitch. But Twitch seems to have not yet found a solution.

Twitch Emmet Shear — The Twitch CEO: Emmet Shear.

The music industry has urged Twitch in an open letter to finally resolve the issues with copyrighted music. In this letter, the dramatic situation of musicians and artists during the Corona pandemic was emphasized:

The music industry writes a strict letter to Twitch: A matter of life and death

Book of Travels will not be an MMO, but a TMO – This is what it looks like

Andreas Bertits 2. December 2020 Reading time 3 minutes

Book of Travels is a very interesting online role-playing game that takes a new approach. You can see how it works based on almost 35 minutes of gameplay from an early version.

What is Book of Travels? The online RPG is referred to by the developers as TMO, Tiny Multiplayer Online RPG. This means you are in an online world, but only a very few players inhabit it per server. The team is still determining how few. However, it should be something very special to encounter a fellow player.

You explore a beautiful game world with your hero, the graphics of which resemble a painting. You encounter NPCs who have tasks for you, and there are even battles against nasty creatures that dwell in the game world. Trading is also important. You can now see how it works with a new gameplay video that shows nearly 35 minutes from the pre-early-access version:

Recommended editorial content

At this point you will find external content from YouTube that complements the article.

I consent to external content being displayed to me. Personal data can be transmitted to third party platforms. Read more about our privacy policy.

Link to the YouTube content

An online RPG of a different kind

What is special about the game? Book of Travels aims to turn the principle of online role-playing games slightly on its head. Because here it is not about being the mighty hero in a world inhabited by thousands of other powerful heroes. You are an adventurer making your way and helping the inhabitants here and there.

For example, in a city, there was a murder of a mythical creature, and you need to solve the mystery behind this situation, which has repercussions on the political situation in the city. The situation is not so easy to master, as your hero can only communicate through emotes.

Our world is a cheerful world. It is not plagued by an evil monster or an evil king. It does not have this cliché, dark fantasy narrative where everything goes to hell, and the players are at the center trying to fix everything.
Jakob Tuchten, Creative Director of Book of Travels

All of this proceeds quite slowly and calmly, as you can see in the video. Therefore, Book of Travels feels more like a game that you play to unwind a bit, rather than to experience hectic battles in action-packed adventures. The graphics play a significant role. Every scene feels as if you are looking at a painting in a museum, wanting to absorb every detail.

Additionally, there is the already mentioned aspect that there are hardly any fellow players in the world and you spend most of your time traveling alone.

There are indeed battles, but even these are something special. You do not encounter an enemy every few seconds. Instead, during the confrontations, you must make important and tactical decisions.

We have the opportunity to provide battles that are actually meaningful. When a fight breaks out, it is associated with risks and has dramatic effects on the character. We debated for a long time whether combat should be a part of the world, but we want to convey the tranquility or peace of the world, and that had to be emphasized by also having dangers right at the roadside.
Jakob Tuchten, Creative Director of Book of Travels

When is the game coming out? The release of the online role-playing game Book of Travels is currently planned for the second quarter of 2021 via Steam. Currently, the game is still in a pre-early-access status.

In the coming months, the developers want to reveal more details about the TMO and show you more gameplay. This way, you should get a better insight into the game, which differs greatly from classic MMORPGs. But perhaps this will bring fresh air to the genre.

If you want to search for other MMORPGs on Steam, you can check out the MeinMMO list of the “10 MMORPGs on Steam with the best ratings“.

CoD Warzone: These weapons and setups are currently trending in Battle Royale

Sven Galitzki 2. December 2020 Reading time 4 minutes

Call of Duty: Warzone offers a massive variety of weapons with countless possible setups, with certain models and compositions standing out particularly. We will show you here firearms and their configurations that, according to a statistic, are currently especially popular among players.

What is the statistic about? The data for the ranking comes from the popular site among many fans “lootshare.io“. There are over 25,000 players registered on the site who have saved and shared their loadouts.

Although Warzone has significantly more players, the data should provide a good cross-section of the player base and also corresponds to our personal experiences in Call of Duty’s Battle Royale.

The website displays the most popular weapons from the past 30 days, so it also takes into account the preferences and trends from the latest updates.

By the way, if you are looking for more inspiration for your arsenal, then take a look at this article: CoD Warzone: The best weapons with setups for your personal loadouts.

The currently most popular weapons in Warzone

At the beginning of December, we present to you the 5 most popular firearms of the last 30 days and show the trendiest setups.

1. Kilo 141

Rank 1 goes to the popular all-rounder Kilo 141. This assault rifle slowly rose to become one of the best weapons for Battle Royale since the release of Warzone. It is considered a true laser, meaning it has virtually no recoil in the right configuration and is easy to control.

With the following setup, the Kilo is currently the most played:

Muzzle: Suppressor (Monolith)
Barrel: Singuard Arms 19.8″ Hitter
Scope: VLK 3.0x Sight
Under-barrel: Command Grip
Ammo: 60-round magazine

2. MP5

Rank 2 goes to the strong submachine gun, which can still hold its own against most other weapons at short range despite numerous nerfs. Many players still rely on the MP5 in Warzone – currently most liked with the following setup.

Barrel: Suppressor (integrated, Monolith)
Stock: FTAC Folding
Under-barrel: Merc Foregrip
Ammo: 45-round magazine
Grip: Stippled Grip Tape

3. Grau 5.56

This assault rifle was at the top of the food chain in Warzone for a long time. However, even after nerfs, it is still a very reliable and popular killing instrument in Warzone. According to the data, it is currently most played with the following setup:

Muzzle: Suppressor (Monolith)
Barrel: Tempus 26.4″ Archangel
Laser: Tactical Laser
Under-barrel: Commando Grip
Ammo: 60-round magazine

4. Kar98k

This DMR is often played as a sniper substitute and is a real hit at long distances in Warzone. The weapon is very effective at range, but does not play as sluggishly as a full-fledged sniper rifle. Currently, the following setup is in vogue:

Muzzle: Suppressor (Monolith)
Barrel: Singuard Custom 27.6″
Laser: Tactical Laser
Scope: Sniper Scope
Stock: FTAC Sport Com

5. CR-56 AMAX

Even the last place among the top 5 shows: Assault rifles are likely the most popular weapon category for battles in Warzone. And the AMAX is still among the best and most popular of its kind. It is played by many in the following configuration:

Muzzle: Suppressor (Monolith)
Barrel: ZRK Zodiac S440
Scope VLK 3.0x Scope
Under-barrel: Command Grip
Ammo: 45-round magazine

What is currently happening in Warzone? Currently, the last common Season 6 with CoD Modern Warfare is still running in Warzone. But soon there will be some changes waiting for you.

Because with the upcoming integration of CoD Cold War into Warzone, there will soon be plenty of fresh wind blowing. For example, Warzone starts on December 10 with the first joint season with the new Cold War: CoD Cold War really kicks off with Season 1 – All the facts, leaks & rumors

Warzone will also unite the arsenals of CoD: Modern Warfare and Black Ops Cold War, among other things. But these are by no means the only changes. You can learn more about this here: Finally, we know how CoD Warzone will continue with Cold War – This is the plan

Until then, however, you can rely on the tried-and-true weapon repertoire in the Battle Royale – for example, on the weapons presented here with their setups.

Pokémon GO: Event for Gen 6 started – Spawns, Raids and Quests

Noah Struthoff 2. December 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

In Pokémon GO the first event around Generation 6 has started. It brings new spawns, quests, and raids. We provide you with an overview of the event.

How long does the event last? The event around Generation 6 started on December 2 at 10:00 AM local time. It runs until December 8 at 10:00 PM. You have about a week to take advantage of the bonuses.

Due to the event, the first Pokémon of Generation 6 appear in the wild. Additionally, there are other bonuses related to raids and field research.

Quests and Spawns for the Gen-6 Event

These are the new field research: A total of 3 new quests are waiting for you. These include:

Catch 3 Normal-type Pokémon
- Reward: Encounter with a Scoppel
Catch 5 Flying-type Pokémon
- Reward: Encounter with a Dartiri
Catch 7 Fire-type Pokémon
- Reward: Encounter with a Leufeo

All field research includes new Pokémon. So if you haven’t collected enough candies for them in the wild yet, you should complete the field research.

These spawns are available: In the wild, there are numerous new Pokémon from Gen 6. Especially common are Scoppel, Dartiri, and Leufeo. But also the 3 starters Igamaro, Fynx, and Froxy appear now and then. Additionally, eF-eM appears as a wild Pokémon.

You should especially track the starters. So keep an eye on your Nearby list to find the starter Pokémon.

Are there new Shinys? So far, no trainer has reported a new Shiny. So there is no surprise here. You need to focus on the new Pokémon in their normal form before going on a Shiny hunt.

New Raids around the Kalos region

These are the new bosses: Not only in the wild will you find new Pokémon. In the raids, Pokémon from Generation 6 also appear. We show you all the bosses. The Pokémon with a star can be Shiny:

Raid-Level	Pokémon
Level 1 Raid (red egg)	Psiau Leufeo Dartiri Klikk* Praktibalk*
Level 3 Raid (yellow egg)	Flunkifer* Machomei Stalobor Stolloss Alola-Knogga* Hariyama
Mega Raid (red-white egg)	Mega-Glurak X* Mega-Gengar* Mega-Rexblisar*
Level 5 Raid (black egg)	Kyurem

Is the event worth it? Every trainer should take advantage of this event. After all, there are the first Pokémon from Generation 6, which will still be available afterwards but will certainly become rarer.

Unfortunately, there is nothing for Shiny hunters this time, but even these trainers should not miss out on the new Pokémon.

There is also new research for the event. We show you all the steps here:

WoW Shadowlands removes a mechanic that has been bothering you for 13 years

Benedict Grothaus 2. December 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

With the patch for the second week in World of Warcraft: Shadowlands, a mechanic that has been in the game since Burning Crusade has been removed: the daily lockout for heroic dungeons. From now on, you can farm these instances as often as you like.

What is changing: With the hotfix on December 2, the daily locks for heroic dungeons in World of Warcraft will be removed. Since these dungeons were introduced in Burning Crusade 13 years ago, players have been able to visit a heroic dungeon intentionally only once per day and receive loot from it.

While it was later possible to theoretically see the dungeons multiple times a day, it was only after all available dungeons had been completed, and then a “random dungeon” was searched for through the group finder. But that could only happen randomly.

What does this mean for me? With this change, you can now farm specific gear that you are still missing. If you urgently need a weapon but have had no luck in heroic or mythic dungeons so far, you can now farm that one dungeon where the item drops.

As mythic dungeons can only be completed once per week until key stone dungeons appear, you can polish your gear again. This is particularly useful if you want to prepare for the raid.

Heroic dungeons are especially one of the ways to get the best gear at the start of the expansion if mythic dungeons do not work out.

Class changes and more in the new hotfix

What else is changing? Along with the change to heroic dungeons, some classes are receiving minor adjustments, primarily focused on bug fixes. Additionally, there are small changes to the covenants of Shadowlands, the dungeons themselves, some areas, and quests.

More on the topic

von MeinMMO

You can find the complete patch notes for the hotfix on Blizzard’s official website. Currently, they are only available in English.

What’s next? With the second week of Shadowlands, players can craft their first legendary items if they have the necessary materials. Additionally, the covenant campaign continues if you have gained enough reputation with your covenant.

Those looking forward to the release of Castle Nathria, the first raid of Shadowlands, and the first season for mythic key stone dungeons should use this week for preparation. Acquire missing gear and level up professions or alt characters if necessary. If you have options and aren’t sure what to play, you can find on MeinMMO the current DPS ranking with the strongest classes in Shadowlands.

After kills with drums: Now a player rocks CoD Cold War with a guitar

Jürgen Horn 2. December 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

In Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War a player started with an unusual controller. The streamer literally “rocked” the game with a guitar and even succeeded in multiplayer mode despite extreme disadvantages!

Unusual controllers are still very popular among some streamers. Players have already played games with potatoes. In the case of CoD Modern Warfare, a gamer played with a drum set. He even managed some crazy sniper kills with that.

Especially with the drummer, the streamer “The StevieP” probably thought: “I can do that too!”. But instead of connecting a drum set, he connected a guitar as a controller.

The guitar comes from the game “Rockband” and TheStevieP tried to play the zombie mode of CoD Cold War with it. Here’s how it worked.

Guitar Controller Prohibits Grenades and Reloading

This is how the guitar controller works: To play with the guitar, TheStevieP used the following setup:

[Forward] running is down on the “Strum Bar” [These are the “strings” of the Rockband controller], backward movement is up on the Strum Bar. To look around: Red is left, Yellow is right, Blue is up, Orange is down. And with Green, you shoot.

With this, TheStevieP can run, look around, and shoot. What he cannot do, among other things:

Jump
Crouch
Throw grenades
Reload(!)

This is how the guitar gameplay against zombies went: The control options are quite limited, so TheStevieP played it safe and first took on a round of zombies. Mindless undead can also be taken down with a guitar.

Link to the Twitch content

The StevieP just ran around the horde of zombies and whacked them with the guitar as soon as he had a good position. When his weapon ran out of ammo, he automatically reloaded, which replaced the missing reload button.

Streamer kills enemies with guitar: At some point, however, TheStevieP wanted to test how his guitar skills would fare in a fight against real players in the multiplayer of CoD Cold War. He was aware that he had little chance in the wild battles of Cold War with his guitar setup, so he said beforehand:

If I get even one kill in multiplayer, I will laugh! The person I kill like this deserves to be laughed at!

As expected, TheStevieP took a beating in a multiplayer match on the Miami map. But then an enemy ran wild at him down a staircase and didn’t hit him. The streamer turned around, took a non-lethal hit, aimed, and with a press of the green button, he dealt a fatal blow to the opponent at close range.

“Yes, that’s how it’s done!”, the streamer exclaimed joyfully, laughing heartily at his success and the shame of his opponent, and was completely over the moon.

The action also delighted various fans on reddit, who rewarded the post with nearly 8,000 upvotes and over 300 comments.

If you’re not playing with a guitar or some other strange controller, we have a guide here that should noticeably improve your aim. The tips are based on the training program of CoD expert TheXclusiveAce, and you can find it here on MeinMMO.

ESO: Despite the new patch, the MMORPG still crashes – This is what the developers say

Andreas Bertits 2. December 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

Since the release of Update 8, players of the MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online (PC, PS4, Xbox One) have reported crashes. Bethesda has now released a patch but has admitted that it cannot fix all crashes.

What is the problem? Since the release of Update 28, which came with the DLC Markarth, some players of the MMORPG ESO have reported sudden crashes during Trials and Dungeons. The game simply closes and returns players to the desktop. This happens in both the PC version and on PS4 and Xbox One.

The new ESO patch did not provide the hoped-for help

How did Zenimax Online respond? A patch has been released that was supposed to address this issue among others. The patch notes state:

One possible cause of crashes has been fixed, which occurred primarily in Trials and other situations with many effects.
A rare cause of crashes has been fixed, which could occur when many complex particle effects were created and destroyed simultaneously.

What is the current situation? Despite the patch, there are still reports that crashes continue to occur in Dungeons and Trials. The problem does not seem to be fully resolved yet.

What have the developers said now? A statement regarding the situation with the crashes was released on Twitter.

The team is aware that crashes may still occur. They are working hard to find the causes and resolve the issue.

What are the implications of this? A new patch for PC is planned for December 7 to fix these crashes. The console version of ESO will receive this fix on December 9.

The event “Celebrations of the Fearless” is not affected by this. It is still scheduled to start on December 3 at 4 PM.

Live event in Fortnite attracts millions of viewers – Twitch crashes

Noah Struthoff 2. December 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

The live event in Fortnite around the Marvel villain Galactus was a huge success on the streaming platform Twitch. For a short time, there were even crashes – presumably due to the large turnout.

This happened yesterday: At around 10:00 PM German time, Fortnite held a massive live event. Galactus, the World-Eater, attacked the Fortnite world and there was a war between the players and the villain. The Marvel superheroes also showed up, leading to a great battle.

However, the Marvel event likely attracted not only active Fortnite players. Hundreds of thousands of viewers watched the spectacle on Twitch with their favorite streamers.

Millions of viewers and issues on Twitch

The event was this successful on Twitch: A ton of streamers showcased the live event and numerous viewers joined. We provide you with the numbers at a glance (via sullygnome):

During the event, Fortnite had over 1.6 million live viewers on Twitch at times
Streamer TheGrefg had the most people on his channel with nearly 250,000 simultaneous viewers – next came NICKMERCS, who had nearly 90,000 viewers
In Germany, MontanaBlack also streamed the live event and had around 30,000 viewers at the same time

These were the problems on Twitch: By the end of the live event, there were some issues on Twitch. Viewers could not load certain streams or the descriptions of the streams were missing.

Twitch itself then spoke up on Twitter and confirmed issues. They said that the problems were known and that they were working on solutions. About an hour later, the disruptions were resolved.

Twitch itself did not confirm that the live event in Fortnite caused the issues. However, one can assume this, as within a few minutes, hundreds of thousands of fans flooded Twitch’s servers.

After the live event, it directly gets exciting in Fortnite. Season 5 is live, and there are the first trailers for it:

One of the most important MMORPG companies in the West has been sold – What happens to the games?

Alexander Leitsch 2. December 2020 Reading time 3 minutes

The Daybreak Game Company has faced many problems in recent years and has repeatedly had to lay off employees. Now the company has been sold to EG7. But what changes does this bring and what does it mean for the company’s MMORPGs?

What happened? The company Enad Global 7 from Sweden purchased Daybreak for 300 million dollars. With this acquisition, they now own one of the most important MMORPG developers in the West.

According to the associated press release, EG7 wants to strengthen itself with the acquisition of strong IPs and benefit from the existing communities. In addition, Daybreak is said to have stabilized significantly in revenue in recent months.

However, it is not known whether there will be changes to the games or layoffs as a result of the acquisition. The owner of Daybreak, Jason Epstein, stated that the acquisition is intended to strengthen Daybreak’s titles and improve the experience of their players.

Why is Daybreak so important? Daybreak includes games like EverQuest, EverQuest 2, DC Universe Online, Planetside 2, and H1Z1. Additionally, Daybreak acquired the developer Cold Iron Studios in 2020, which was founded by former developers of Neverwinter and Star Trek Online.

As a “third-party company,” they also assisted with the MMORPGs The Lord of the Rings Online and Dungeons & Dragons Online.

Thus, Daybreak is involved in many Western MMOs and MMORPGs. According to the press release, the company is said to have around 178 million registered players.

However, the success that the studio once had has now faded. In recent years, there have been ongoing problems and layoffs. This ultimately led to the acquisition.

As Sony Online Entertainment successful, under Daybreak in crisis

What is behind the company? Daybreak was originally founded under the name Sony Online Entertainment and aimed to develop strong competitors following the success of Ultima Online.

This led to the creation of MMORPGs such as EverQuest, Star Wars Galaxies, Vanguard: Saga of Heroes, and Free Realms.

However, Daybreak has faced several problems in recent years:

In 2015, Sony sold the studio, reportedly to an investment firm
Also in 2015, John Smedley left the company. The MMO veteran had been part of SOE/Daybreak since EverQuest 1. He is now working on a new SciFi MMO for Amazon
In 2016, the promising MMORPG EverQuest Next was canceled
In 2018, there were chaos and layoffs at Daybreak. In 2019, there was then a second wave
Moreover, developments on a AAA MMORPG for Marvel are said to have been halted

Recommended editorial content

At this point you will find external content from YouTube that complements the article.

I consent to external content being displayed to me. Personal data can be transmitted to third party platforms. Read more about our privacy policy.

Link to the YouTube content

EverQuest Next was considered a promising MMORPG. However, a release never took place.

Who is the new buyer? EG7 is a company that focuses on the development, publishing, and marketing of video games. They have already acted as a publisher for games like Overcooked 2 and Sniper Elite 3 and were involved in marketing campaigns for Destiny 2, Call of Duty, and Assassin’s Creed Valhalla.

Recently, the company also acquired the Canadian developer Piranha Games, who developed Need for Speed: Shift, Duke Nukem Forever, and MechWarrior.

With Daybreak, several MMORPGs have come to the company. However, most of them are already older. Whether new games are being worked on is not currently known.

None of the currently most promising MMORPGs in development are from Daybreak:

Fortnite: Here are the patch notes for Season 5 in English – Update 15.00

Eilyn Rapp 2. December 2020 Reading time 3 minutes

In Fortnite: Battle Royale Update 15.00 has been released, marking the start of Season 5 Chapter 2. We show you the patch notes. It includes new features, many bounty hunters, and new locations!

What’s included in the new update 15.00: This update kicked off the new Season 5 and allows players to dive into a world of bounty hunters. As can already be seen in the trailer, there is a lot of chaos on the Fortnite map after Galactus attempted to absorb the “Zero Point”.

But what does this mean for gameplay and Fortnite players? We will show you what has changed in the game.

Now you are to hunt

What’s new now? Since the Zero Point has now been released again, various characters can escape from the Fortnite island. However, if you join Agent Jonesy, you can prevent the escape.

You can now team up with other bounty hunters from other universes, who were also featured in the Battle Pass trailer for Season 5. So choose the best ones. This way, you can participate in a battle that will create chaos and determine the future of the island.

New locations on the map – Map changes

What’s new now? The map has also changed after the battle with Galactus and adapts to the bounty hunting theme. Among other things, you can now find several places that have different functions, such as:

The Colosseum, where you can engage in fights
A jungle
The Crystal Desert, where the Zero Point is also located

Players will immediately have a lot to explore on the map. Perhaps a new favorite landing spot will also quickly emerge.

Helping hand – Bounty hunting

What’s new now? You will now become hunters and have the obligation to help other characters. You will need to complete various missions and tasks in the unstable reality that revolve around bounty hunting. You can also recruit them for your team to better your chances.

If you do not wish to help, you can also challenge the characters to a fight. If you prove yourself, you will unlock various rewards.

New currency: Bars

What’s new now? Bounty hunting not only serves to help but can also earn you a reward. The characters accept a new currency: Bars. You can earn this by successfully completing bounty hunts, eliminating opponents, or finding hidden supplies on the island.

The bars can be used for these items:

Exotic weapons
Upgrades
Services
Information

This is the new currency. Dataminers had found it in the data some time ago

New weapons in Season 5

What’s new now? Not only new features and currencies have come with update 15.00. There are now also new weapons in the game. These give you a completely different gameplay experience. These weapons are new:

Dragon’s Breath Shotgun
Amban Sniper Rifle
Night Hawk

Throughout the season, characters from the unstable world will bring even more weapons into the game that have not been seen before.

Season 5 seems to bring some changes to Fortnite, with which players can actively collaborate with characters. The map also seems to have changed a lot, which is not surprising after the big battle against the even bigger Galactus.

FIFA 21: Title Update 6.1 intentionally brings back an old error

Max Handwerk 2. December 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

In FIFA 21, the new Title Update 6.1 is coming. The update addresses only a single issue, but it brings back an old problem.

When is the update coming? As announced via the FIFA Direct Communication channel on Twitter, Title Update 6.1 is now available on PC. When it will be released for PS4 and Xbox Series X remains unclear again. The last Title Update, number 6, has only been available for consoles since today (4:00 PM).

Recommended editorial content

Link to the Twitter content

The new update is a sort of addendum to Title Update 6, which was released for PC last week and fixed many bugs. However, while Update 6 was very comprehensive, 6.1 addresses solely an issue in Pro Clubs.

Pro Clubs bug returns to fix new bug

What the update changes: The patch notes are straightforward this time. This update primarily aims to address a stability issue that arose during drop-in matches in Pro Clubs. This problem was unintentionally introduced with the last Title Update in the game.

To address the issue, Title Update curiously brings back an old problem:

To address this stability issue, we have reintroduced a problem that was resolved in the last Title Update. Changing the match plan as captain of a drop-in game can lead to the positions of other players being incorrectly changed.
Patch notes via FIFA Forums (translated)

The correction of this issue seems to have led to stability problems in Pro Clubs and is now being looked at more closely: “We will try to address this issue in a future Title Update.” Until then, you should be careful when playing more intensively in Pro Clubs mode.

Otherwise, the Weekend League is coming up again soon! Here you can find players that can help you achieve more victories in the Weekend League.

MMORPG Bless Unleashed responds to beta criticism, aims to improve

Andreas Bertits 2. December 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

In early 2021, the MMORPG Bless Unleashed will be released for PC via Steam. Feedback from the beta has led the developers to make some adjustments and changes.

What changes are the developers making? The first closed beta has primarily led to a rethink in the controls. According to the developers, this was criticized. Particularly the fact that no functions could be assigned to the mouse buttons was apparently quite frustrating for some testers. The way skills are triggered will also change. You no longer have to hold down the button to execute the skill. It is enough to tap it briefly.

In addition, the following changes will be implemented:

Sprinting will be improved. There were issues with the control and the duration for which a hero can run. Instead of switching between running and walking, you now have to hold the button down to sprint.
There will also be an auto-run button.
The way you use items will be adjusted. To make this more convenient for PC players, items and potions will now be held in 5 slots for quick access.
There will be a navigation option to quickly get to NPCs or quest objectives. A glowing path will indicate where you need to go.
The UI for skills will be revised to present them more clearly.

The video provides you with an insight into the gameplay of the MMORPG Bless Unleashed.

More changes to Bless Unleashed are coming

Is that all? The changes that have now been announced are all based on the feedback from beta testers, but there are still more issues in Bless Unleashed. For example, the still somewhat sluggish combat. The development studio stated that further optimizations and adjustments are coming. The mentioned ones are just the first that will be implemented now.

When will the changes be in the game? The second beta phase of Bless Unleashed is expected to begin in December. Then you will at least experience the mentioned adjustments.

When does Bless Unleashed start? There is currently no exact date. However, it is expected to be released in spring 2021 via Steam. The MMORPG is already available for PS4 and Xbox One, though.

What is Bless Unleashed? The MMORPG combines action-packed combat with quests and the exploration of a large fantasy world. Crafting is important to obtain powerful items, and PvP also plays a role. There are plenty of group content such as dungeons and boss fights, but solo players should also have their share of enjoyment.

You should not confuse it with the failed Bless Online. Even though both games are called Bless, Bless Unleashed is something new and comes from a different development team.

MeinMMO author Alexander Leitsch has taken a look at the beta of Bless Unleashed and shares his experiences with you.

Pokémon GO increases space for Pokémon at the perfect time

Noah Struthoff 2. December 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

In Pokémon GO there is now an update for the Pokémon Box. You can now expand the storage if you invest enough PokéCoins.

How big is the Pokémon Box? You can now expand it to up to 4000 slots. The maximum was previously 3500, which was not enough for many trainers. Thus, the expansion now comes.

The expansion comes at a perfect time, as the release of Generation 6 is approaching. New Pokémon will appear, taking up more space in your box.

All info about the expansion of the Pokémon Box

How can I expand my box? You need to go to the shop and can buy an upgrade under “Pokémon Storage”. 50 additional slots in the box cost 200 coins. So if you calculate it, you need to spend 2000 coins for 500 new slots – that is nearly 20 euros.

That’s why it’s a good time: On December 2nd at 10:00 AM local time, Generation 6 will be rolled out and an event will start. You will be able to catch about 20 new monsters. This means your Pokémon box will be fuller again, and that is exactly what such an expansion is ideal for.

You should consider this: An investment in the expansion is only worthwhile if you really have no more space in the box. So first sort out properly and see how much space is left. If you already have 500 slots free, you don’t need to buy another 500 slots.

The evaluation system helps you enormously when sorting out:

This is how you can evaluate hundreds of Pokémon within seconds

What else is coming? At the moment, events are rapidly unfolding in Pokémon GO. In addition to Generation 6, a new maximum level has also come into play. You can now rise to level 50. You can find the stages and the required tasks here:

You see the main character of Fortnite, “Jonesy,” who is talking on the phone after waking up in the office. Chaos seems to be breaking out everywhere. After Galactus attempted to devour the Zero Point, it remained in the Fortnite world, although it should have been safely stored away.

The first time the Zero Point was seen was in Season 10, after the battle between the giants caused the energy orb to hover in the middle of the map.

The woman on the phone gives Jonesy a mission to stop the Zero Point again and save the island before it descends into complete chaos. Although Jonesy manages to “store” the Zero Point again, he is pulled in himself and ends up in another dimension – or is it the island we know?

It remains exciting what else is in store for us. Players will have to wait a bit longer until the servers are reachable again. If you want to take a look at the Battle Pass for Season 5, you should check out the first hints, as 3 skins have already been revealed.

Additionally, Fortnite has now released the Battle Pass trailer for Season 5. In it, you can see cool skins like Mando with Baby Yoda and also a pancake cowboy. Which of the new skins do you like the best and why?

If you want to have fun with new MMORPGs, you need to rethink things

Schuhmann 2. December 2020 Reading time 6 minutes

Many MMORPG veterans complain that no new online role-playing games are coming out and that those that are coming are not the right ones. “You need to rethink if you want to have fun with new MMORPGs in 2021,” says our author Schuhmann.

When I started as a freelance author at MeinMMO in 2013, I thought: We are making an MMORPG site. Guild Wars 2 and Star Wars: The Old Republic had just been released. Final Fantasy XIV was just struggling to crawl out of its early grave.

There were gems like The Secret World to discover. World of Warcraft had just passed its golden age with Lich King a few years prior. In 2014, just a few months later, absolute blockbuster games like WildStar and The Elder Scrolls Online would be released. That’s what I thought back then.

Today we know: Everything turned out differently. Gems like The Secret World remained undiscovered for years. WildStar quickly faded away. And after even Star Wars and The Elder Scrolls flopped upon release, huge brands, no one dared to touch MMORPGs in the West for years. The few titles that were still planned were canceled.

For years, MMORPGs were the trending genre: Everyone wanted to create the next WoW to find the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow and become rich. But just when we started with MeinMMO, that time was over. Other genres and games replaced MMORPGs and WoW. Suddenly we were writing about guardians in space, about Pokémon on the streets of Germany, about the soldiers of Call of Duty and the strangely costumed crazies in Fortnite.

The Western MMORPG is dead and you are to blame

von Schuhmann

Everything had changed. What has not changed over the years, however, are MMORPG players.

MMORPG players still behave in 2020 as if 3 new top MMORPGs from Western studios are released every year, consuming budgets in the triple-digit millions and taking 7 years of development time.

“Too much PvP, too little PvP, too much old, too much new”

When MMORPG veterans see a new game, they already wrinkle their noses:

The graphics don’t suit them, they look too colorful, too Asian, outdated, or somehow overloaded with effects.
The direction of the game puts them off from the start – some simply don’t get along with PvP. Why are PvP games even released, when everyone knows they flop all the time, one wonders.

Others curse every game that offers no “full loot PvP,” it seems the lucky bear faction has prevailed with their constant whining: a new PvE game that is doomed from the start, they judge.
Either a game does not offer enough new (seen it all before) or a game scares away with a new idea, like the ISO perspective (“That’s not an MMORPG for me”).
That mobile MMORPGs have been booming in Asia for years and that the wave is also spilling over to Europe and North America doesn’t sit well with them.

And above all, the MMORPG industry apparently develops completely away from the interests of local players.
On advice to look at old MMORPGs, they happily shrug it off: These old clunkers are worn out, no one wants to see them anymore, they’ve achieved everything.

Most MMORPG players lose interest in a new MMORPG the moment they see it for the first time.

Only indie MMORPGs make exceptions: They have the advantage of not showing concrete content initially, but rather presenting concepts over the years which players can fall in love with until the developer hooks them.

But now and then, it actually still happens that a high-quality MMORPG is released or at least becomes playable in the West. Some MMORPG fans have been waiting for “Lost Ark” for 6 years after they saw the first demo on YouTube in 2014. Lost Ark is an action MMORPG from an ISO perspective that finally released in South Korea in 2018 and was one of the most successful new MMORPGs in years.

Some particularly bold players were able to play Lost Ark through backdoors in Russia. But what was the reaction?

A player writes on MeinMMO:

I checked it out 4 or 5 months ago and was very enthusiastic at first. That lasted for 2 weeks and then that was it: PvP had some problems in my opinion and the PvE content was very unremarkable.
A disappointed player of Lost Ark

A new MMORPG is enthusiastically played for two weeks and then dismissed as a flop.

MMORPG fans searching for the great love like the first time

That hasn’t changed since 2013 either: MMORPG fans who really play a new MMORPG expect it to engage them for months, just like the first MMORPG they ever played in which everything was new to them. No matter if it was Dark Age of Camelot, Runes of Magic, World of Warcraft, or Guild Wars 2. If a game doesn’t offer that, a bland taste sets in quickly, motivation fades, and euphoria evaporates. Suddenly, everything is the same again: The player fell in love with an MMORPG in 2 weeks and then unloving.

MMORPG players always search for the feeling of endlessly falling into a game just like the first time. But they will not be able to experience it because they already bring too much prior knowledge and cannot rediscover the game concepts as they once did.

After years of exploration in the first MMORPG, the mechanics have been internalized. Those who have explored a foreign city can quickly unveil another. Those who have freed a princess and slain the dragon know how it goes: The challenges have lost their magic.

Are MMORPG players now doomed to never experience that kick they seek again? Yes, probably. The exhilaration of discovering the first MMORPG and falling in love with the game will probably be experienced by most players only once in their lives.

5 tips to enjoy MMORPGs again

It helps to change your expectations. Look at new MMORPGs and give them a chance before you judge them after 20 seconds and 3 keywords that you encounter while scanning an article about them.
Lower your enthusiasm and expectations with new MMORPGs: Don’t hope that they will blow you away like the first game when you were a teenager. Instead, realize that even two weeks of excitement in an MMORPG is already something good and valuable. Maybe those two weeks will become two months if you don’t compare it right away to your first great love.
Go back to MMORPGs that you once dismissed quickly. Games like ESO or Final Fantasy XIV are examples of games that have managed to recover and improve enormously after rough beginnings.
The perhaps best advice: Try to find old friends and ask them if they want to discover a new MMORPG with you. MMORPGs are meant to be played together. This social bond is the glue that kept you in your first game for a long time. If you move as a nomad into a new game and right from the start feel like you are just visiting and looking around, no MMORPG in the world will be able to hold you.
If you don’t find gaming buddies from the past, be open to making connections in new MMORPGs, find a guild or gaming friends. Talk to people, write in chat, try to find connections.

You will not be able to change the new MMORPGs that will be released, but you need to find ways to deal with the offerings that are there. I know that nobody wants to hear that. I see the frustration in the comment sections about new MMORPGs and the offering that is there. I understand the longing for the one MMORPG experience from the past and for the new exciting thing.

But ultimately it is each MMORPG player’s decision to let themselves be frustrated by new MMORPGs or to make the best of the genre.

Anyone who has no interest in finding fun in MMORPGs and would rather become an experienced and bitter veteran in online gaming, we recommend the clear counter-program to this article:
