Did you know that you can transport valuable cargo in GTA Online in a way that no one sees? Essentially invisible to griefers? We will show you how to do it.
What is it about? With the help of VIP work, you can assist other players in transporting the cargo in GTA Online.
Transporting valuable cargo is an important part of earning money in GTA Online and is included in 5 Investments in GTA Online that I will never regret. However, there is a risk because griefers can destroy the cargo, significantly reducing the profit.
With the trick of VIP work, the cargo disappears from the map. This provides players with more security during transport and greatly increases the chances of a successful sale.
How to hide cargo in GTA Online?
How the trick works: Reddit user soupa-hot-fire shared the tip with the glitch community of GTA Online (via reddit). Even though according to his statements, it is not a glitch. “You don’t need special circumstances or steps here. It’s simply a part of the game that Rockstar never told you about,” explains the user.
If you sell cargo in GTA Online, all players in the session are notified and encouraged to destroy it – The red symbol on the world map and on the mini-map shows where you can find the cargo
To execute the trick, only one player in the session needs to start VIP work and then not complete it. As long as this is active, no cargo will be displayed in the area of effect of the VIP mission.
The user recommends starting missions like Headhunter from the middle of the map. This way, you could cover a large part of the map where players’ cargo is invisible.
“Not only will you not see the cargo from other players anymore. No one in the lobby sees the cargo from other players while the VIP work is active.”
Although you will still see player icons on the map (and also the helicopters), the cargo will no longer be represented with the big red box on the map.

What advantage does this bring? The biggest benefit of this hiding action is that you do not immediately draw the attention of griefers as soon as you start a sales mission.
Some players have made it their mission to immediately destroy everything that can bring profit to other players. For whatever reason. With the hidden cargo, you are significantly better protected from them.
If you have a friendly teammate in the lobby who starts VIP work but does not finish it, you can sell your cargo much more relaxed. MyMMO shows you here 12 ways to earn a lot of money quickly in GTA Online in 2020. With this trick, it becomes even easier.

The action MMO Anthem was planned in 2019 as a major service game for Electronic Arts. It was supposed to lead the RPG studio BioWare into a new era. 15 months after release, the game seems almost forgotten. A mention of Anthem in the current financial report for Q4 2020 underscores this.
This was the mention of Anthem: EA presented the current financial report: It covers the period from January 1 to March 31, 2020, which is Q4 2020 from EA’s perspective. Calendar-wise, it’s the 1st quarter of 2020.
In the report, Anthem is mentioned only once, as EA explains why they earned so much more money last year in the same quarter compared to 2020:
[…] Sales of PC games and console downloads generated $190 million in revenue, which is 11% less than last year, driven by the launch of Anthem […]
Blake Jorgensen, CFO of EA, during the current earnings call
That’s why it’s so bitter: There is no statement from EA about the future of Anthem, only about how much money EA earned a year ago with the launch.
This accurately describes the situation of Anthem: Money was made with the game, but development has stalled. After all, Anthem was actually intended and advertised as a “evergreen”.
This is an unfortunate situation for players. Surely EA cannot be satisfied with this either.
Anthem launched in 2019 with a lot of hype and had a strong gameplay loop.
Anthem, a game for 10 years, remains without new content
This was the expectation for Anthem: What BioWare and EA hoped for from Anthem can be seen in the original working title of the project. The game was known as “Project Dylan”; like the songs of singer Bob Dylan, Anthem was supposed to be timeless and always remain relevant:
BioWare had planned Anthem as a game for 10 years.
EA wanted with Anthem to have a game in their portfolio that, like Destiny for Activision and The Division for Ubisoft, generates ongoing revenue through microtransactions and a large player base.
Although the launch version had strengths in gameplay loop and the world, the core mechanics of the game like the rewards and progress system suffered from serious issues. Additionally, there were technical difficulties: It was even said that Anthem would “destroy PlayStation 4” consoles.
After the launch, many Anthem players lost their smiles and it became painful.
The further development of the game completely broke down. After the release, there were hardly any updates or statements from the studio. BioWare decided to first address the fundamental issues of the game and canceled the roadmap outright in September 2019, after the content supply had already fallen far short of expectations.
In 2019, the game began to disappear more and more from public focus, appearing in EA’s financial reports only as a footnote, in which EA stated: “We stand by Anthem.”
This seemed to be the turning point: In February 2020, a bigger sign of life came, but also with a catch. BioWare announced that they would revise Anthem, developing an Anthem 2.0 that addresses the major issues of the game.
However, it was also stated that it would take a while and during this time there would be hardly any real updates for Anthem.
This is how it has been since then: The announcement came in February 2020. Since then, EA and BioWare have been silent about Anthem. There are no signs of life from the game of any kind. Except now in the financial report the mention of how much money the game made in 2019.
For months, it’s been about waiting and waiting with Anthem.
With Blue Protocol, a new anime MMORPG is on the horizon that could provide players with exactly what they want right now: a focus on story and PvE experiences.
What is Blue Protocol? It is an MMORPG that focuses on telling an exciting story. In this, you embody a hero who travels back 1,000 years in time to prevent a catastrophe.
The MMORPG also aims to impress you with PvE group content, but forgoes other MMO elements such as housing, life skills (for example, fishing), and initially also PvP. Instead, you will explore many dungeons and face boss monsters in large raids. The combat offers a lot of fast action.

Since Blue Protocol, as a theme park MMORPG, focuses on storytelling and completing quests in groups, players have long been given a game that does not contain sandbox elements or have a PvP focus.
That seems to please many.
Those who were able to test the MMORPG have high hopes that Blue Protocol could be the next big thing in the genre.
How was the beta received? Youtuber and MMORPG expert TheLazyPeon summarized his impressions of Blue Protocol in a video. You can watch it directly here.

Youtuber TheLazyPeon shares his impressions of Blue Protocol in the video.
In summary, some testers found it refreshing to play an MMORPG that focuses on quests and teamwork. Moreover, it is one of the best-looking anime MMORPGs out there.
The crafting system was well-received, and it is possible to level all classes with one character. However, Blue Protocol does not have a true open world, but only very large play zones.
What is being controversially discussed? Interestingly, there is currently a contentious topic in the community: PvP. At least at launch, the MMORPG does not have player-versus-player combat and focuses entirely on PvE.
This has led to the community splitting into two camps: one part wants PvP, while the other vehemently opposes it.
LavishGuy13 would like to see PvP in Blue Protocol: “Without PvP, an MMO quickly becomes stale. And if the PvP is limited to an “arena” or a “dungeon”, it will be even more boring. Then I might as well play a single-player RPG or a cooperative RPG. Make it so that you have to switch to a “PvP” mode to fight other players in that mode.”
Iceysheep on reddit does not want PvP in the game: “Don’t add PvP, let the developers focus on other things in the game to improve it. If they put too much work into PvP, the MMORPG could end up being another bad PvP like Kurtzpel. I see no need for PvP. This is a PvE game.”
Especially the beautiful anime graphics of Blue Protocol receive a lot of praise.
In Pokémon GO today, May 6th, the first Remote Raid Hour with the Altered Forme of Giratina starts this evening. We provide you with an overview of the event.
What is a Raid Hour? Before the Corona crisis, this event took place every Wednesday. For one hour, legendary raids appear in almost all gyms that you can battle.
Now, after many weeks, the event is back. This time, however, you can also participate in such a Raid Hour from home for the first time.
All Information about the Raid Hour with Giratina today
What time does the Raid Hour start? The event starts at 6:00 PM local time and is active for exactly one hour. Giratina will appear at every gym where there is no other raid and will remain for exactly one hour.
The best counters against Giratina: It is vulnerable to many types, including: Dragon, Fairy, Ice, Dark, and Ghost. The best Pokémon for this are monsters like Rayquaza, Palkia, or Salamence.
How many players are needed? The legendary Pokémon can easily be defeated by three players. This can be done starting from level 25, and with strong counters at level 40, you will have no problems defeating it with three players.
You can coordinate before the event starts and then approach each gym one by one and battle in the Remote Raid.
You still need 3 players and the counters remain the same. However, keep in mind that you need better communication because you cannot see each other, making it a bit more complicated to enter the raids together.
You can also play the event as usual directly at the gyms. However, keep in mind that you follow the distancing rules and do not form large groups.
Is the Raid Hour worth it? The Altered Forme of Giratina is not useful for raids. However, it is really strong in the PvP League and dominates the tier lists there.
Additionally, you can encounter Giratina as a Shiny. So if you don’t have a shiny version yet, you should take advantage of the Raid Hour. The chance of a Shiny in legendary raids is 1 in 19.

Becoming a Legend in Hearthstone seems particularly easy at the moment. At least, the number of Legend players is currently exploding.
In the ranked mode of Hearthstone, the rank “Legend” is the highest accolade that players can earn. Whether in the Standard or Wild format, the rank Legend awaits at the very top for the best players. Depending on the region, there are usually only a few thousand players in that tier.
However, this appears to have changed. Because in April, the number of players who reached the rank Legend has literally exploded.
What happened? Various analysis sites show how players in Hearthstone are distributed across the ranks. Europe will serve as an example here. In March, there were 6,515 players who achieved the rank Legend in the “Standard” format. In April, that number jumped to a staggering 60,336 players – the value has thus increased almost tenfold.

Where are all the Legend players coming from? The reason for the surge in the number of players at the rank “Legend” likely has three contributing factors working together. These are:
More players are playing Hearthstone as many must stay at home
A new ranking system was introduced with the current expansion
The new class Demon Hunter is extremely strong
What is the new ranking system? Hearthstone has discarded its old ranking system and instead has implemented a fresh one. There are 10 ranks in each category: “Bronze”, “Silver”, “Gold”, “Platinum”, and “Diamond”. Those who reach beyond Diamond 1 will be promoted to the rank “Legend”.
The new rank system attracts with security levels and rewards. This motivates many players.
Is the new ranking system easier? In a way, yes. On one hand, there is a security level every 5 ranks. When you reach rank 1 or rank 5 of the respective category, you cannot fall below that point except during the monthly reset. This makes losing streaks less frustrating since you can never drop too far down. At the same time, reaching a new security level increases the reward that players receive at the end of the month. This motivates and further encourages players.
Lastly, there is a star multiplier at the start of a new season. Those who reached “Platinum 5” in the previous month start the new season like everyone else at “Bronze 10”, but receive 6 stars per win instead of just one. This bonus decreases with increasing rank but ensures everyone can quickly pick up from their successes from the previous month.
Demon Hunter creates a boost: Another factor could be the introduction of the new class Demon Hunter. It is enjoying great popularity and is currently regarded by many players as overpowered – despite initial major nerfs. The class is relatively simple to play, has a high win rate, and matches are very quick. Typically, the winner of a fight against a Demon Hunter is already determined after 6 to 7 minutes. This is currently being mocked by many players.
The Demon Hunter plays fast and reliably.
All this leads to the current scenario where particularly many players are attaining the rank “Legend”. Anyone looking to achieve this success and secure the exclusive card back should do so now. It likely won’t be as easy in the future. Especially since many hope for another nerf of the Demon Hunter.
Have you already reached the rank Legend or are you currently working towards it?

Due to a bug, a player could play Call of Duty: Modern Warfare in third-person view. And it looks really good – so good that some might wish it was a feature.What do you think?
Modern Warfare in Third Person? CoD: Modern Warfare and also Call of Duty: Warzone, the in-house battle royale mode, are both first-person shooters. Generally, the “Call of Duty” series is known as a first-person shooter.
But even in the third-person perspective, the latest CoD installment makes quite an impressive appearance, as a bug recently demonstrated.
Now a bug has ensured that we have a rough idea of how CoD: Modern Warfare would look as a third-person shooter.
In a coop multiplayer match, the player and reddit user brandino4427 wanted to revive a teammate. But just during the corresponding animation, the injured player left the match, allowing brandino4427 to continue playing in third-person view.
This is what Modern Warfare looks like as a third-person shooter:

Fans demand third-person as a feature: This is very well received by many players and celebrated. The corresponding reddit thread has already reached over 32,000 upvotes in just over a day.
And even though the third-person perspective comes about due to a bug – some want and demand this view as a feature or in the form of a limited-time mode for the game.
Some CoD veterans are getting excited and remembering the “Third Person Team Tactical” mode from Modern Warfare 2, where players could regularly play in third-person perspective. This playlist was very popular among many fans. Even in Modern Warfare 3, players could normally play in third-person view, but only in splitscreen or private matches.
Was or is third-person planned for Modern Warfare 2019? Some users highlight that the third-person gameplay actually looks too good for a mere bug.
The movements and camera handling are very fluid, and the view elegantly zooms to the shoulder when using the sight device – like in a real third-person shooter.
Some therefore believe that the third-person view could actually be a real feature – one that was either discarded or has not yet made it into the game.
How do you find CoD MW in the third-person view? And what do you think? Should this perspective be introduced as a feature? Or could it already be a future feature? By the way, what to expect in the ongoing Season 3 is detailed here: 7 new features that CoD MW & Warzone are still supposed to get in Season 3

In Fortnite: Battle Royale, according to professionals and data miners, the skill-based matchmaking is finally said to have been removed. This only applies to the “Teams” mode, but players might still be pleased about it.
What kind of matchmaking is this? Skill-based matchmaking is about matching players with similar or equal performances in a game.
The better you play, the stronger the opponents become. Conversely, inexperienced players may face weaker opponents or even encounter bots (computer-controlled players):
strong players win less often compared to “connection-based” matchmaking. For them, every match feels tough, like “serious as in the Olympics”
weaker players, however, win more often, reach the endgame, and have successful experiences
This is how it looks now in Fortnite: Several professionals and data miners now share that the skill-based matchmaking has been removed from Fortnite. However, this does not apply to all modes, but only to the 4-player team mode.

However, Epic Games has not yet provided any public confirmation or announcement regarding this significant change.
Pro player claims that the matchmaking has been removed
What does the Fortnite pro say? Twitch streamer Ali “SypherPK” Hassan posted a YouTube video where he states that he received information from an Epic employee. He confirmed that the skill-based matchmaking has been removed from the Teams mode.
“This is a pretty big change. It will make the matches more comfortable and less sweaty.”
SypherPK in his YouTube video
But this statement is not the end, as the pro wants to prove that it has really been removed from the game. He is starting a round of “Teams” and goes solo. He wants to show that the matches without the matchmaking are much easier.
He plays 2 rounds and achieves 15 eliminations in the first round but cannot win. However, in the second round, he wins the match with a total of 24 eliminations.

SypherPK discusses the removal of skill-based matchmaking and shows how easy Solo vs Team can be now
Players were annoyed by skill-based matchmaking
What does the community think about skill-based matchmaking? Some players might be pleased about the removal of the matchmaking, although it only affects one mode for now.
One wish of the players for Season 2 was the removal of skill-based matchmaking. This wish, however, was not fulfilled. Especially console players feel disadvantaged when they have to compete against PC players.
Whether the removal of skill-based matchmaking is limited to the squad mode or if more modes will benefit from it soon remains unclear. We will probably have to wait for Epic Games to comment on this. However, those who do not want to fight at all and prefer to hang out leisurely should definitely check out the new Party Royale mode.

In the new financial report from Activision Blizzard, they discuss Diablo Immortal. The plan for the release of the mobile game seems stable. However, players are still waiting for information on Diablo 4.
What’s new? In the latest financial report, Activision Blizzard talked about the first quarter of 2020. It seems quite solid. The monthly active users remained stable, the numbers of active players of WoW have increased.
Regarding Diablo Immortal, the mobile game of the Diablo franchise, the developers stated that it remains on track.
Diablo Immortal – What does Blizzard say in the financial report?
It was stated: The report soberly states: “Diablo Immortal, developed in partnership with NetEase for mobile, remains on track to start regional tests in the middle of the year.”
But there is currently no exact date for when these regional tests are supposed to start. The team keeps it vague with the “middle of the year”. The tests could start soon, but they could also be in August.
Diablo 4 – No information from the financial report
What was not talked about: Regarding Diablo 4, which many players of the franchise are eagerly waiting for, there were no new details from the financial report.
On the release of Diablo 4, Luis Barriga stated during BlizzCon 2019 that it is still a long way off. “Not coming out soon. Not even Blizzard soon,” he said. Perhaps that is why the game received little attention in this financial report.
This is what Blizzard says about Diablo 4: It’s not that Blizzard is completely silent on Diablo 4. They present quarterly information tidbits that highlight certain aspects of the new hack ‘n’ slash.
This is what is coming up: As a replacement for E3 2020, which will not take place this year due to Corona, the “Summer Game Fest” will run over the summer. There will be news about games and events from publishers, as well as in-game events, demos, and more.
The Summer Game Fest starts in May and runs until August 2020.
This is what is suspected: For the line-up in phase 1, Activision and Blizzard are confirmed alongside other big names like EA, Riot Games, Bungie, Bandai Namco, and many others. Maybe more information about Diablo 4 will come soon.
Perhaps Blizzard will use this event to present more Diablo 4 content. Keep an eye on us at MeinMMO for information about Diablo 4.
With the new Diablo head Rod Fergusson, Blizzard has brought in a “Closer” for Diablo 4. He is basically a “finishing expert” who can successfully lead games that are in their final development phase to release.

In Venezuela, it is not easy to feed one’s family. However, with gold farming in the German MMORPG Tibia, it is manageable, as a player now shares.
What did a player from Venezuela share? On reddit, user Jk_gl shared what his daily work life looks like. And it takes place in the MMORPG Tibia.
The man farms gold to earn money. He does this because it allows him to feed his family better than with one of the few regular jobs in the country. His daily routine looks as follows:
His day starts at 6:00 AM. He brushes his teeth, has breakfast, and finally turns on his computer.
Then he begins to kill some boss monsters with three characters. This takes about an hour.
After that, he logs in with his main character, a level 500 elite knight.
Now he farms gold until he has enough to buy 250 Tibia coins. Depending on the server, he needs several million gold coins.
Gathering these usually takes about 5 to 6 hours.
As he farms gold from Monday to Sunday, he manages to gather about 6,000 Tibia coins per month.
Gold selling is, of course, not legal and can lead to a ban of the account. However, Jk_gl takes this risk for his family.
The MMORPG Tibia is 23 years old and provides a better income for some residents in Venezuela.
A Lucrative Job
How much money does the player make with this method? The gold price and also the price for Tibia coins vary in the MMORPG. Jk_gl explains that he makes about 200 US dollars a month. This is significantly more than the minimum wage in Venezuela, which is currently about 8 US dollars per month.
Through his gold farming, the player can properly feed his family and lead a relatively good life by Venezuelan standards.
Why Gold Farming in Tibia? Farming gold in Tibia is not the most lucrative way to earn money. According to the player, it would actually be better to do this in Runescape, Path of Exile, or WoW. However, he has been playing Tibia since he was 10 years old and has a lot of fun doing it. Therefore, it is essentially a job that brings him joy.
What is the situation in Venezuela like? Venezuela is referred to as the “poorhouse of South America,” as can be read in an article by Frankfurter Allgemeine. The country has been in a severe economic crisis for about seven years. Hunger, diseases, and violence are common, which is why many residents leave the country. There is hardly any work. The few jobs pay very poorly. It is almost impossible to support a family with regular work.
Gold farming represents a good way to quickly acquire a lot of money in some MMORPGs. How quickly one can get rich from it was told by Valve’s Gabe Newell, who was once a gold farmer in WoW. However, this gold is technically not allowed to be sold.

In a new trailer, EA introduced the new Season 5 of Apex Legends. The video shows first insights into a possible story of “Fortune’s Favor” and reveals a bit more about the relationship between the two new legends.
This is in the trailer: The official new trailer was released on May 5 at 19:00 CEST. In the approximately two and a half minutes, there are numerous details about the newly introduced legend Loba.
In the video, Loba enters an underground facility where numerous robot-like machines are hanging on frames that suspiciously resemble the legend from Season 4 : Revenant.
Loba apparently intends to destroy the machines and finds a human face that once belonged to the person who became Revenant. She shoots at the face, but only triggers an alarm and plunges the entire facility into chaos.

The trailer is performing well: As of now (May 6 at 12:00), the trailer has over 4.36 million views and over 250,000 upvotes (with 4,600 downvotes).
In addition, there are another 1.1 million views on Twitter and over 16,000 retweets and 45,000 likes of the official tweet. This makes the video one of the most popular videos at the moment.
The Season 5 trailer is even far ahead at number 1 in the trends on YouTube in the USA. In second place, a teaser from Netflix has just about half the views (2.42 million).
The current trends on YouTube in the USA.
Details on Season 5 “Fortune’s Favor” and Loba
What does the trailer mean? From the previous story, we already know that it was Revenant who murdered Loba’s father. The thief now apparently wants to take revenge and is pursuing Revenant.
However, it looks like Revenant’s body is just a shell. The protected face or head suggests that the person behind Revenant may still be alive and is controlling these robot bodies from afar – which is why he is so well-protected in the facility.
What do the images reveal about the season? In previous seasons, there have often been upheavals due to certain events that were previously hinted at in the trailer. One of the biggest of these changes was the introduction of the new map World’s Edge.
So far, we only know about Season 5 that Loba apparently caused a piece of land to collapse. Where exactly this happened or what consequences it has remains to be seen.
Everything seems to take place in King’s Canyon, the original map that is now playable again. This is shown in the first images where Mirage and Pathfinder are seen in Skull Town. So something may change again on the map from Season 1.
Could King’s Canyon possibly receive a major rework?
What do the images reveal about Loba? Loba showcases her abilities multiple times in the video, reinforcing the speculations about her skills:
she uses a disc to teleport (tactical ability “Burglar’s Best Friend”)
with a grip, she pulls weapons towards her (Ultimate “Black Market Boutique”)
the weapon she pulls glows briefly (passive “Eye for Quality”)
So far, there is still no official information about Loba’s abilities on the Apex Legends website.

In Destiny 2, a Guardian is making headlines for helping dozens of gamers through what is likely the hardest activity in the game. The community celebrates their hero, reminding them of the early days of Destiny.
This is about the hero: Some players of Destiny 2 must have been quite surprised when they wanted to tackle the new “,”ultimate challenge” and suddenly received lifesaving support from an unknown player.
The user soulfullmirror reports (via reddit) how he helped numerous players as a sniper for hours. Interestingly, he was not in a team with his protégés and just wanted to help others in need.
How did the hero help? Recently, the new difficulty level “Top-tier” has been active in Destiny 2’s Fire Trials – a special version of the Nightfall strikes. With an abundance of negative modifiers, the accustomed Nightfall strikes become brutally challenging, pushing even seasoned players to their limits.
Just to name a few of the hurdles:
There are more and stronger enemies
Enemies have extra shields that can almost only be broken by the corresponding element
There are no checkpoints – too many deaths send players back to orbit
A kind of time limit forces rapid advancement
Players regenerate health only to a limited extent
The Exodus Crash strike is only played when absolutely necessary
In addition, at this time, the probably least favorite strike in Destiny history was active: “Exodus Crash.” There, you have to fight your way through an area patrolled by enemy vehicles. These so-called mosquitoes can damage your vehicle in seconds.
In the normal rotation, teammates often leave the hated strike right from the start. However, in the Fire Trials, only one strike is active for the entire week – those who want to prove themselves must push through.
This is what rescue looked like: This nightmarish mission typically takes place in its own instance but occasionally switches to a public zone. Our hero made use of this fact and took out the annoying mosquitoes for hours, allowing Nightfall players to have an easier start:
The hero cleared hostile vehicles by the dozen – Source: reddit
Since he is not part of the squads he helps, he is also not affected by the negative modifiers. According to his own account, he had equipped the in-game title “Savior” – he certainly lives up to that name with his actions.
The heroic deed reminds of the early days of Destiny
This is how the community reacts: On reddit, the “Savior” is rewarded with thousands of upvotes and the Guardians celebrate their new hero:
Not all heroes wear capes. […] We actually almost wiped this week in our Top-tier run due to the damn mosquitoes.
Overall, the post brings good vibes to players and reminds them of the sometimes forgotten social aspects of Destiny. It even brings back memories of the glorious early days of Destiny 1 and the first raid.
One user writes: “It reminds me of how people helped each other with the opening of the Vault of Glass in the patrol area on Venus.” The legendary raid also started in a public area. It was good form to provide fire protection to Guardians who were diving into the adventure.
This is what the hero himself says: The Savior expresses his gratitude and is touched by the positive response. With his actions, he also got something for himself: his exotic sniper rifle Borealis leveled up to a complete masterpiece:
Congratulations on the new exotic masterpiece sniper – Source: reddit
He also announced that he would repeat his action and level up with another exotic sniper for the good cause.
What do you think of the action? Would you have wished for such powerful help in the Fire Trials? By the way, the Savior could have leveled his sniper significantly faster and more easily at one of the Top-5 farm spots – but that was not the focus of his deed.

Players are currently speculating whether Call of Duty: Warzone might receive a new map in the next season. Recently, the most well-known CoD leaker has also commented on this.
This has now led to all sorts of speculation and debates within the community. Some suspect that the current map could be wiped out by a nuclear bomb, and that we will then receive a new map for CoD: Warzone in the upcoming Season 4.
Which leaker has commented on this? Recently, TheGamingRevolution also spoke on this topic. He is considered the most well-known and notorious CoD leaker of recent times.
He has already predicted many details about Modern Warfare and Warzone correctly (more than anyone else) and has even been banned on Twitter for it. He is considered a reliable source for leaks and information regarding Call of Duty.
This is what the leaker says: Although TheGamingRevolution is reluctant to bring “bad” news, he does not consider it likely that a new map for Warzone will be introduced with Season 4.
On one hand, the “leaked” video itself is not a real leak and not even really new – and it might not even be connected to Warzone.
It has been in the game since the release (of Modern Warfare) – hidden in SpecOps, the Coop part of CoD: Modern Warfare. This cutscene deals with how the terrorists spread in Verdansk and apparently also want to take over the neighboring Urzikstan.
On the other hand, according to the leaker, the developers had been working on the current map for Warzone for a year. It would be surprising to already “nuke” this and introduce a new map just a few months later. That would be illogical and unrealistic, according to TheGamingRevolution.
He personally does not expect a new map anytime soon; he thinks a new map is likely only with the release of Call of Duty 2020 – possibly set in the Cold War. Recently, the developers noted that CoD: Warzone will continue beyond Modern Warfare in further CoD installments.
What could happen at best, in his opinion, is that we might get some smaller BR maps styled like Alcatraz for Black Ops 4 until the next big CoD release.

What could come instead of a new map? TheGamingRevolution thinks it is likely that new areas on the current Warzone map will become playable in Season 4 – such as the bunkers. He is already very excited about this.
And indeed, a lot currently suggests that these could open in the next season. So the development surrounding the bunkers in the game is intensifying, and the opening of the bunkers would also fit well with the developers’ recent comments – definitely better than a completely new map.

WoW founder Mike Morhaime recently claimed that World of Warcraft no longer offers as social a gaming experience as it did in the beginning. Now the current Blizzard CEO has stepped in and disagreed.
What did Mike Morhaime mean: The former head of Blizzard explains in an interview that the MMORPG World of Warcraft has changed over time and the social gaming experience is not the same today as it was in the past:
I would say that World of Warcraft has become less social over the years, as we have eliminated some of the reasons why players should play with the same group of people repeatedly through increased accessibility.
Mike Morhaime
J. Allen Brack – the head of Blizzard.
How did J. Allen Brack respond? J. Allen Brack is the current head of Blizzard and does not agree with Mike Morhaime’s statement:
World of Warcraft was fortunate to be developed as a very social experience, and that holds true today just as it did on the day we launched. Over time, we have listened to community feedback, and WoW has evolved into what we now call a “modern game.”
This has significantly expanded the breadth and depth of gameplay and makes it easier to find friends, join together, make progress, or play alone – all within a social environment.
J. Allen Brack
When did Blizzard’s CEO say this? J. Allen Brack spoke during a conference call with investors. He likely made his statement to reassure them, as Mike Morhaime’s interview had caused quite a stir in the World of Warcraft MMORPG community. Brack may have wanted to ensure that investors were not influenced by this.
The upcoming WoW expansion Shadowlands has reportedly received many pre-orders according to Blizzard.
How is WoW doing according to J. Allen Brack? The Blizzard CEO also spoke about how he does not see the communities of WoW Classic and the modern version of the MMORPG as separate. It is one community connected through a subscription.
WoW Classic is reportedly performing particularly well in Eastern markets. He likely refers to China. In the West, however, the modern World of Warcraft is doing very well. This is mainly shown by the number of pre-orders for the upcoming Shadowlands expansion planned for the Christmas season of 2020.
Amazon’s new shooter Crucible launches in 2 weeks, and our MeinMMO author Jürgen Horn is totally in love with the game. Read here why he’s so excited about the upcoming hero shooter.
How did it all start? I, Jürgen, had actually only peripherally kept an eye on Crucible. I had seen a promo image and had in mind that Amazon wanted to release some shooter sometime soon. Since I was currently busy enough with the beta of Valorant and other titles, Crucible wasn’t a big priority for me, at least until concrete information would come.
This trailer was enough to get me really excited for the new shooter.
This is definitely a reason to celebrate, especially because of the following aspects of Crucible that I am already looking forward to.
1 – The game modes
That’s why the modes are promising: The game modes in shooters are usually well-known concepts. (Team-)Deathmatch, Capture the Flag, Domination, etc. That’s all nice and fun and always enjoyable.
But in Crucible, there are a few concepts that you haven’t seen or at least not often. Namely, PvE elements in competitive PvP. The idea of smashing monsters while leveling up, like in a MOBA, last occurred to me in the unfortunately deceased MOBA shooter Battleborn by Gearbox, and I already found that idea enjoyable.
Because when you take down AI monsters and earn loot and experience, even mediocre players have a secret to success and can contribute meaningfully to the team play. Additionally, such game modes foster both tactical and strategic thinking. It adds more depth to the gameplay than just mindlessly shooting at the enemy players.
Here are the difficulties: Of course, the concept hinges on execution, but I assume the developers will do a good job balancing PvE and PvP and will continually refine it as needed. This is even more important with this game concept than it usually is.
2 – The visuals
What I like about the game’s design: Those who know me know that I love colorful shooters. Hence my preference for games like Borderlands, Battleborn, and Overwatch. I like it bright, loud, and vibrant.
Crucible looks great.
And that’s exactly how Crucible presents itself. The game seems to take place on a wild planet full of bizarre fauna and flora. It’s colorful and lush everywhere, and the effects of the weapons and skills promise to be a visual spectacle as well.
This could go wrong: Too much is eventually really too much. If the developers overdo it with the effects and colorful graphics, it can distract from the game, throttle FPS, and deter players who prefer a more subdued experience. Here, too, the developers need to ensure they maintain balance and don’t present the game too extreme.
3 – The heroes
How cool, I can play as a cat: After the colorful visuals, I particularly liked the playable characters. There are quite a number of cool, quirky characters that I want to try out:
A nasty cat that looks cute while being mean.
A fat alien, the space trucker.
A powerful woman with flamethrowers.
A cute robot that loves plants.
And that’s just 5 of the 10 planned hunters. I’m really curious about what they can all do, how they play, and what their abilities are.
This cat particularly captures my interest.
Here are my concerns: However, it is also important that the heroes must be well-balanced. Their skills and weapons should be fairly distributed, and the developers need to stay alert and quickly adjust with nerfs and buffs when necessary. Because nothing ruins the fun of hero shooters faster than if certain heroes are too strong or weak for extended periods.
4 – The gameplay
This is how I envision the game pace: Looking at the scenes shown so far from Crucible, they promise fast-paced shooter action. That suits me well. The leisurely gameplay of tactical shooters like Valorant is nice too, but I prefer when I can dive into the action and have freedom of movement.
This image promises tons of action and speed. Hopefully, it stays that way in the final game.
In that area, Crucible could really score points with me, as the heroes jump around wildly, and everything is exploding and rumbling everywhere. I think the pace will probably be similar to Overwatch or even a bit faster.
This could still go wrong: On the other hand, it’s important not to make the game too fast. Because if you only win through total movement and the time-to-kill is very low, inexperienced players will quickly feel overwhelmed by hyped-up super kids with their quick reflexes. Again, balance is the key word, and the developers need to strive hard to fine-tune everything.
5 – Accessibility
This is how the release works: Crucible will simply be released on May 20 as a free-to-play release for Steam. There is no generally accessible beta, and especially no annoying closed beta for which you need to go through cumbersome means to obtain keys.
That was recently the case with Valorant. The shooter from Riot can only be played if you watch Twitch streamers for hours. While that may be good for Twitch and Valorant’s PR, it’s less favorable for many players who want to join in but simply have no luck.
So I had fun with the game, but my pals without a key did not. However, if Crucible launches soon and it’s free, then everyone can join in and ideally have a large player pool for quick matches.

Surprisingly, the helicopters disappeared from the Battle Royale Call of Duty: Warzone with the playlist update yesterday evening (May 5).
Why are there no helicopters right now? With a really bad exploit, players could easily get a helicopter under the map. Infinity Ward hasn’t officially confirmed it yet, but it’s pretty certain that this is the reason for the sudden disappearance.
The glitch had been circulating online for several days and apparently reached the developers as well. They reacted decisively and temporarily removed the helicopters from the Battle Royale. Because with this method, players had certain advantages:
They were not visible to enemies
They could shoot opponents
Easy victories under the map were possible
What does it look like? On May 1, YouTuber “oRemyy” published a video with a few minutes of glitch gameplay:
https://youtu.be/6Djxlj1BT3k
At the sluice near the harbor of Verdansk, there is the entrance to the curious tunnel system. With a bit of squeezing, the helicopter can somehow fit in here and explore a whole new area under the map. Season 4 will probably bring an underground system to the Warzone, but it’s rather doubtful that the developers meant helicopter flights beneath the map.
When will the helicopters return? There’s currently no information on this. The only traceable statement from the developers about the issue is the tweet announcing their removal:

As of the playlist update on May 5, there are no flying vehicles in the Battle Royale of Call of Duty. If there is new information regarding this, we will update the article here on MeinMMO accordingly.
Were there any other surprises with the update? Yes, and even positive ones. Due to some major server problems and bugs over the weekend, Infinity Ward is giving you the next round of Double XP until Friday, May 8 at 7:00 PM.

You will receive double experience points for your account level, for weapons, and even for Battle Pass tiers. MeinMMO author Phillip Hansen, who would have loved to play over the weekend, is not helped by this anymore, but the rest of you can benefit from this for a few days now.

In Pokémon GO two new events will start in the next weeks. There will be a new smoke day and the limited research will return for home.
These events are about: In the coming weekends in Pokémon GO there will be a lot happening. The following events are set to start:
The limited research with Snubbull on May 9th between 8:00 AM and 10:00 PM local time
The smoke day with Kanivanha on May 17th between 11:00 AM and 5:00 PM local time
Both events are to be played from home again and have been accordingly adjusted.
Limited Research with Snubbull – All Information
What is limited research? In this event, the focus is on solving field research. There are quests with Snubbull and you have the chance for a shiny specimen.
How it has been adjusted for home: While you previously could only effectively play the quest day from outside, it will change this time. There will be 50 tasks to solve for which you do not need to go outside.
In over 50 research projects, there will be Snubbull as a reward and you will always have the chance for a shiny.
This is what you need to pay attention to: The limited research disappears at 10:00 PM local time. So you must complete it beforehand if you want to solve all field research.
Smoke Day with Kanivanha – All Information
What is the smoke day? This event took place for the first time with Wiesor in April. Now there is the reissue where the water and dark-type Pokémon Kanivanha is in focus.
In the event, the item smoke attracts rare Pokémon of special types that change hourly. This time, the dark and water types will alternate.
This is the schedule: Every hour the type changes and you can benefit from the smoke for a total of 6 hours:
11:00 AM to 12:00 PM: Water-type Pokémon
12:00 PM to 1:00 PM: Dark-type Pokémon
1:00 PM to 2:00 PM: Water-type Pokémon
2:00 PM to 3:00 PM: Dark-type Pokémon
3:00 PM to 4:00 PM: Water-type Pokémon
4:00 PM to 5:00 PM: Dark-type Pokémon
Which Pokémon will appear? So far, Seeper, Schallquap, and Mamolida have been announced as water-type Pokémon and Kramurx, Zobiris, and Zurrokex as dark-type Pokémon.
Particularly interesting should be Zurrokex, as this Pokémon is currently only available as a reward in the PvP League. Those who are not particularly active there will probably be delighted with these spawns.
These events are also available: May is marked by the nostalgia challenges. There will be a new event and a new special research each week.
These tasks you will need to solve in addition and might be able to connect them with the smoke or quest day.

However, Blizzard has seemingly been spared from major negative impacts in the last quarter. At least, that is suggested by the latest “conference call” discussing Activision Blizzard’s state in the first quarter of 2020.
What was said? The data shows that the MAUs (monthly active users) remained stable in the last quarter. In Q4 of 2019, they were at 32 million, and this number was also reached in Q1 2020. The number of active players in World of Warcraft is said to have increased. This is attributed to new content (Patch 8.3 and Classic phases), but also to the situation that many people need to stay at home at the moment.
Why is WoW stable? Basically, there is currently no fresh content in modern WoW. Battle for Azeroth is in its “winding down” phase, and a large part of the players is already mentally preparing for Shadowlands. However, that is exactly what is keeping the numbers quite stable at the moment, also because Blizzard has activated two big bonuses:
A XP boost that allows characters to level up faster
The XP boost is currently keeping many WoW players engaged.
Together with the current global need to spend as much time at home as possible, many people are likely using the time to spend their leisure time in Blizzard’s games.
However, the “conference call” was not only positive. Compared to the previous year, Activision Blizzard’s revenues have decreased by 2.2%. Nevertheless, the company is in a much better position than expected, which is likely mainly due to the popularity of Call of Duty: Warzone.

Interesting types: As the first Pokémon in the game with the Ghost/Dragon type combination, Giratina brings many weaknesses. It is weak against Dragon, Fairy, Ice, Ghost, and Dark types.
Can be defeated with few players: Three players are enough to defeat Giratina, but you should bring correspondingly strong Pokémon.
Because of Giratina’s many weaknesses, there are also many Pokémon that are effective against it. We will now show you the best counters and then a selection of good counters against Giratina.
Rayquaza
Rayquaza is the best counter against Giratina. Its high attack value and strong Dragon-type moves make Rayquaza the top counter. The only drawback is that it can be defeated relatively quickly. Rayquaza reacts, just like Giratina itself, very effectively to Dragon moves. So if Giratina has Dragon moves, your Rayquaza will be defeated fairly quickly.
Fast Move: Dragon Tail
Charge Move: Outrage
Palkia
Palkia can withstand a bit more than Rayquaza as a Dragon-type, but also deals a bit less damage. Nevertheless, it is also a Dragon, so it can be defeated quite quickly. However, its high attack value compensates for its fragility.
Fast Move: Dragon Tail
Charge Move: Draco Meteor
Salamence
Salamence follows with the exclusive move Outrage from Community Day. It deals substantial damage and is worthwhile for your team. Like Rayquaza, this Dragon Pokémon also reacts very efficiently to the Dragon moves of Giratina.
Fast Move: Dragon Tail
Charge Move: Outrage
Darkrai
Darkrai is one of the few Dark attackers that is really useful here. You can also teach Darkrai the Ghost move Shadow Ball, which is also effective against Giratina. Darkrai can stand firm in battle against some of Giratina’s moves and can last a long time.
Fast Move: Bite
Charge Move: Shadow Ball
Dialga
Dialga is a Dragon Pokémon but is not very vulnerable to Dragon moves due to its secondary Steel type. So you can save some potions with Dialga and still deal effective damage.
Fast Move: Fire Spin
Charge Move: Draco Meteor
Other good attackers
Mamoswine
Garchomp with Dragon Tail and Outrage
Rayquaza with Dragon Tail and Dragon Claw
Gengar with Lick and Shadow Ball
Dragonite with Dragon Tail and Outrage
Sneezler with Bite and Avalanche
Chandelure with Hex and Shadow Ball
Mamoswine with Powder Snow and Avalanche
Machamp with Counter and Shadow Ball
Latios with Fire Spin and Dragon Claw
Tyranitar with Bite and Crunch
Hydreigon with Fire Spin and Dark Pulse
Also effective: If you don’t have any of the counters mentioned above, don’t despair. Before you battle with Lugia or Stolloss, it’s better to use Houndoom, Gyarados, Sharpedo, or Ludicolo. Watch out for the moves that need to be effective against Giratina. Also, generally good attackers like Metagross with its special Community Day move are good alternatives.
Fast Moves: Shadow Claw (Ghost), Fire Spin (Dragon)
Charge Moves: Dragon Claw (Dragon), Ancient Power (Rock), Shadow Force (Ghost)
100% Giratina: To catch a 100% IV Giratina, you need 1931 CP. With weather boost, it is 2414 CP. Giratina is boosted in foggy and windy weather.
Stats of Giratina:
Max CP: 3379
Attack value: 187
Defense value: 225
HP value: 284
How good is Giratina? The Pokémon in its Altered Form has a relatively low attack value. When comparing the Altered Form with the Origin Form, the Altered Form performs worse. Its attack is significantly lower and it lacks strong Ghost moves.
A new playlist update for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and CoD: Warzone was released today, on the evening of May 5, 2020, for PC, PS4, and Xbox One. This brings the promised changes but also a few that nobody expected. We look at the patch notes.
What’s in the update? In today’s playlist update for the multiplayer of Modern Warfare and the battle royale Warzone, there are several changes. This is revealed in an official tweet from the developers, which lists the patch notes:
Shipment 24/7 as a new playlist replaces Shoot or Ship, no matter
Gun Game becomes Gun Game Reloaded
Demolition added
Ground War on foot added
Additionally, new shop bundles are coming, including the “Anime Express” bundle with pink trucks in the shop. This was already hinted in the preview for the patch on May 5.
Cool trucks are now available in the shop.
In addition to the new features, there is currently an XP bonus for double experience points on weapons, levels, and tiers in the current battle pass. The bonus will last until May 8. Last weekend, there were issues with XP.
This is how players react: Players are actively discussing the new update. The biggest topics are gratitude for Shipment 24/7, as the mode is always well received and extremely popular, as well as the renewed demand for a duo mode for Warzone. However, BR Duos will appear as a mode in the future.
On Twitter, however, there is great confusion about why the developers suddenly removed helicopters from the battle royale. This flying vehicle was already among the possible vehicles in Warzone since release .
Quads are still available – but where have the helis gone?
Why is this ban happening? Players still do not quite understand why helicopters had to be removed from battle royale. Twitter user O’Summer-Bear clarifies that there seems to be a bug with the helicopters that allowed players to glitch under the map.
To prevent the glitch, they are likely temporarily disabled now. Other players also point out that helicopters are particularly strong in solo BR and are especially annoying.
The survival MMO Population Zero is celebrating its early access release on Steam today, May 5, 2020. How does the title from Enplex Games stand out from the genre competition and who should take a look? MeinMMO takes a look at Population Zero.
This is Population Zero: The survival MMO Population Zero from developer Enplex Games LLC started early access on Steam on May 5.
As a surviving colonist, you have crashed on the alien planet Kepler. Your task is to repair your reactor and restart the sleep capsule within 168 real hours, or 7 days. If you fail, you will turn into a monster.

The announcement trailer already shows the colorful alien world
These are the features: At first glance, Population Zero may seem like a normal survival MMO where you have to gather resources, craft equipment, and try to survive, but it offers some cool features that go beyond the genre standard:
Action-based combat in PvP and PvE modes
A story that guides you through the game
A perk system to build your character individually
2 factions that you can switch between through quests. These factions also influence the player’s biology
Global level system to level up your account
This is your player account: Once you create a character, you can only play the PvE mode. This mode allows you to experience the basics of the game for 24 hours and gather initial impressions.
When the 24 hours are up, you will receive experience points for your player account based on the tasks you have completed. As your account level progresses, you unlock the other modes and additional features.
With each level, you unlock new things
If you don’t want to wait for the 24 hours, you can also give up the current “world” and immediately receive experience points.
This is how your account develops up to level 10 – unlock modes
This can be unlocked: Up to level 10, you can unlock the following:
Level 1: Standard PvE mode
Level 2: Standard PvP mode
Level 3: Unlock crafting of cocoons
Level 4: Base building level 1
Level 5: True story mode
Level 6: Base building level 2
Level 7: PvP mode with only one life
Level 8: New perks for your character
Level 9: Base building level 3
Level 10: Elite status
Anyone who wants to see everything must repeatedly play the PvE or PvP mode.
The so-called Voids are very powerful. As a monster, you can easily take out other players and thus cause chaos and destruction. Only groups can stand a chance against you.
The Technocrats are more human-like
These are the factions: Later in the game, you can join one of the two factions, the Technocrats or Xenobiotes. The Technocrats are more human in nature, while the Xenobiotes fully embrace mutation.
Both factions offer you their own advantages:
Technocrats have better building and crafting skills and can create advanced tools
Xenobiotes use plants for crafting and ally with creatures instead of killing them. In certain biomes, they can build and create objects faster
Who is Population Zero suitable for?
Then you should take a look: All survival fans who want to experience a “science fiction” story can take a look at the title. Those who are less interested in pure sandbox and prefer to pursue quests and PvE elements will be satisfied with the PvE mode or the true story mode.
If you want to play the bad guy and crush other players as a mutated monster, Population Zero is also worth a look.
The developers also state that their title is suitable for beginners and hardcore players alike.
Both in PvE and PvP, you constantly encounter dangers
Then you should stay away: It’s better to stay away from the survival MMO if you don’t like the genre or early access isn’t your thing.
The game is in an early version and there may be several bugs at launch. Also, some grinding is required to gradually unlock all features.
This is how long early access lasts: Whether the special features and the story will keep players engaged in the long term will show during the early access phase. This is supposed to last at least 9 months and introduce more regions, resources, clothing items, game modes, and even new mechanics.
Currently, you can purchase Population Zero on Steam for €23.23 instead of €27.99. If you are looking for other survival MMOs, we recommend taking a look at the 20 best survival titles.
