In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, players have found a nasty trick in the game mode “Infected” to rack up many kills. Some are now calling for a quick fix from the developer Infinity Ward.
What happened? In the multiplayer mode “Infected” in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, player CacheB78 used a nasty trick to rack up as many kills as possible at once.
This is Infected:The popular party mode puts you in the role of a survivor or infected. At the start of a match, however, there is only one infected player armed with a knife set loose on the other players.
The survivors have their loadout and can especially dig in well in higher places.
If a survivor dies, they respawn as infected. Over the course of the game, there will be more and more infected players.
Players use nasty trick for kills
As a survivor, it is not uncommon to team up with other players and dig in at a higher location. Staircases, doors, or ladders are guarded, and the infected have a hard time catching the survivors.
Player CacheB78 has now shown in a video on reddit how he achieves a high kill streak as a survivor.

This is the trick: He calls in an airstrike and targets his teammates. Normally, this is not a problem, as friendly fire is not possible.
But CacheB78 jumps off the roof just before impact, respawning as infected, thus becoming part of the enemy team. When the airstrike hits, he racks up 13 simultaneous kills.
Community calls for a solution from Infinity Ward
This is what the community says: CacheB78 is probably not the only player using this sneaky trick. Thus, it is not surprising that the community on reddit demands a quick fix from developer Infinity Ward regarding the issue. They even provide their own suggestions:
reddit user mah_nuhts has a suggestion: “The developers need to ensure that when a survivor calls in an airstrike, it remains allied to the survivor rather than switching sides. I see no reason to remove killstreaks.”
Many players initially found the trick creative and funny. However, now that so many players are doing it, it is regarded as shameful to exploit it. The trick is ruining the game mode, and a solution should be implemented quickly.
The MMORPG hope Ashes of Creation has shown first images from the dungeons in a live stream. The gameplay looks promising and the fans are excited – one in particular.
What is currently happening with Ashes of Creation? At the end of March, the developers contacted us via livestream with gameplay from the first alpha, surprising many. This was because the shown content exceeded expectations.
A few days ago, there was news again from the MMORPG. In another livestream, the developers showed first footage from the dungeons. And the gameplay stirs the excitement of the fans.

Here is the complete video of the developer livestream. You can get a glimpse of the dungeons from minute 7:30 to 23:10.
The hype in the community is growing
Here are the reactions to the stream: Players have been waiting for a good MMORPG in fresh attire for years. And Ashes of Creation seems to cater to this hope.
The comments under the YouTube video are very positive. User Rob Lambertsummarizes his hype like this and received the most likes under the video (84, as of 04.05.2020):
You guys are driving me crazy. I’m 50 years old and I am NOT getting younger. Please release the game before I die, or get arthritis and can no longer play.
According to the developers, they focus on versatility and atmosphere in the dungeons. Lighting plays a significant role. In the livestream, they showed two dungeons that indeed have very different settings.
This is the first dungeon: The first dungeon includes a vault that looks somewhat like a temple. It is supposed to be accessible at level 5-10. The developers also play it with level-10 characters.
An in-game screenshot from the first dungeon with its vaults.
With a well-timed jump, the level is switched. Beneath the vault, players will find a mine, a shaft with wooden beams. To get back up, you have to climb them.
As opponents, adventurers can expect several trash mobs with humanoid enemies.
This is the second dungeon: The second dungeon has a completely different setting. Players find themselves in a type of jungle with ruins. Here too, the level is switched by a jump, this time into a hole with a light cone.
An in-game screenshot from the second dungeon with the hole into which players must jump.
Here, players can expect trolls and lizards. Among the trash mobs, there will be groups of varying difficulty. This will make the run less monotonous.
This will be shown further: Additionally, several questions about gameplay will be answered during this time:
Groups will consist of a maximum of 8 players. A good mix of classes will be beneficial.
The maximum level will be 50.
Leveling will lean more towards hardcore. While it won’t be as severe as in a grinding game, the maximum level, according to the developers, won’t be achievable in just a few days.
Some information, like tracking enemies on the minimap, will depend on class skills.
You will need to manage your mana well. However, it won’t be necessary to sit down between fights.
However, the effects are probably the most impressive. Especially the players’ attacks look fantastic. Some area attacks hit portals and elemental discharges.
A firework of effects awaits the players.
Design, Design, Design
This is what the stream showed: Besides the footage of the dungeons, more designs were shown. The developers provided insight into:
The various races
Plants and animals in the game
The playable environment
Buildings and caravans
The tools like fishing
Character design
These snippets showed a lot of love for detail. Especially the gameplay feeling is prioritized in Ashes of Creation and that shows. Now it remains to be seen how the game performs in the alpha and what other news will come.

In the new shooter Valorant the first player in North America has reached the maximum rank in the ranked mode. Professional Twitch streamer Tyson “TenZ” Ngo has achieved Valorant, which is the highest rank in the shooter. He reached the rank just 30 hours after the ranked mode became active in North America.
This is the player: Tyson “TenZ” Ngo (18) is a former pro in CS:GO and plays for the US organization Cloud9. However, in 2019 the Canadian lost his main spot on the team. The young pro later mentioned that he had complained too much about the team’s style and was therefore benched. (via dexerto)
Instead of switching and continuing his eSports career elsewhere, TenZ became a “full-time streamer” for Cloud 9 on Twitch. He currently has 96,287 followers there.
In Valorant, TenZ has thus far been only moderately successful as a streamer. In the last 30 days, he had an average of 488 viewers. The top streamer for Valorant, Anomaly, has 66,337 – he had 148 times as many viewers on average.
But since it became clear how strong TenZ is, the interest in his channel has grown significantly. In his last Twitch stream on May 2 and 3, an average of 3,297 people wanted to watch, peaking at 5,037.
One can assume that the Cloud 9 streamer will soon have significantly more viewers than in recent weeks when he is active in Valorant.
TenZ has opted for Sage.
This is how his rise in ranked began: On May 1 around midnight our time, Riot Games activated the “ranked mode” of Valorant in North America – in Europe the mode arrived around 9 AM.
After less than 4 hours, TenZ had already reached the “Immortal” tier and was ranked Immortal 1.
The next day, on May 2, TenZ started directly at Immortal 3.
About 5 hours after the stream started, at 6 AM on May 2, TenZ was able to reach the rank “Valorant”, which is the highest rank in the game.
You can see the moment of triumph here in the Twitch clip:
Streamer seals max rank with strong match
He reached the rank after a 13-9 victory against some of the strongest players in Valorant. TenZ himself played 30-15 with the character Sage. He has certainly earned the title.

From the start of the ranked mode to TenZ’s ascent to Valorant, about 30 hours elapsed.
TenZ is the first “Valorant” in North America, as confirmed by Riot Games. Allegedly, several Europeans reached the title before him. However, none of them received the distinction separately.
As Gamerant reports, TenZ apparently had the advantage of being ranked so high in Valorant’s internal hidden match ranking that he quickly ranked Immortal 1, while others started at a lower level, even if they won all their placement matches.
His rise probably also went so quickly for this reason.
With the release of Valorant in the summer of 2020 on PC, Riot Games intends to reset the ranked system again. Then players will have another chance to claim the title as “first Valorant”.

Black Desert Online – MMORPG
Genre: MMORPG | Developer: Pearl Abyss | Platform: PC, PS4, Xbox One | Release date: March 3, 2016 | Model: Buy2Play
What is Black Desert? The sandbox MMORPG Black Desert gives you a lot of freedom. You can level endlessly, explore the world as an adventurer, or become rich as a merchant or craftsman.
In return, the story and traditional quests play a rather subordinate role. Instead, the combat system and the very detailed character editor of the game stand out particularly.
Black Desert was first released in Korea and then came to the West in 2016. There are now also versions for Xbox and PS4, which, however, have a different status than the PC version and lag significantly behind in terms of updates and available classes.

How much does Black Desert cost? Through the official shop, you can get Black Desert for 9.99 euros. However, there are always promotions that make BDO cheaper or even free.
Who is it worth it for? If you are looking for an MMORPG with an action-packed combat system and also value freedom, then Black Desert is the right place for you.
However, the game is very grind-intensive and has open PvP. If you can’t handle that, you should look for an alternative.
Are there alternatives? Yes, because there are now many different Buy2Play MMORPGs. Good alternatives include Guild Wars 2 with a stronger focus on the story and ESO with a strong focus on single-player content. Alternatively, ArcheAge Unchained can be played if PvP and sandbox are in the foreground. Some Buy2Play MMORPGs have already been introduced in a list:
How much does ARK cost? The base game of ARK is available for 11 euros on Steam. However, the game offers several expansions that you need to buy to fully experience the world.
On PS4 and in the Microsoft Store, ARK is currently significantly more expensive.
Who is it worth it for? ARK is a game for fans of Jurassic Park or unusual survival MMOs. With its own server system, it is perfect for playing with friends.
Are there alternatives? For survival fans, there are definitely some alternatives that do not offer the same setting as ARK. For example, Rust and DayZ focus on a modern and not so fantasy-based world.
We will also introduce you to another alternative in the course of the article with Raft.
Genre: Action-Adventure | Developer: Rockstar Games | Platform: PC, Xbox One, PS4 | Release date: September 2013 | Model: Buy2Play
What is GTA Online?GTA Online is the multiplayer mode for Grand Theft Auto V. You create a character and enter the vast and open game world.
There, you can earn money through missions to buy new weapons and vehicles, with which you can then earn more money. This allows you to afford properties and all sorts of new content that the developer Rockstar regularly integrates into GTA 5 Online.
In addition to races that you can conduct with completely crazy vehicles like rocket-launcher-equipped flying motorcycles, GTA also offers you the opportunity to embark on a career as a robber or even a drug boss.

GTA V is fast-paced and offers plenty of activities.
How much does GTA V cost? To access the world of GTA Online, you need GTA V. Depending on the platform and retailer, you pay between 10 and 20 euros.
Who is it worth it for? GTA Online is an absolute highlight for fans of the series who also want to play online with friends or even strangers.
Are there alternatives? If you don’t necessarily want to play online, other parts of the GTA series offer an alternative. If this series is not taken too seriously, you might also enjoy Saints Row 2.
Otherwise, there is also Red Dead Online from Rockstar, an open world that matches RDR2.
Risk of Rain 2 – Multiplayer Roguelike
Genre: Action-Adventure | Developer: Hopoo Games | Platform: PC, PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch | Release date: March 28, 2019 (EA on PC) | Model: Buy2Play
What is Risk of Rain 2? In this action platformer, it gets quite intense, especially on higher levels. At the beginning of a game, you choose a class and then play a round with up to 3 friends.
The goal is to activate a teleporter that takes you to the next level. There, you will constantly encounter new enemies, but also loot. However, the difficulty level automatically increases over time.
Currently, it is not possible to play Risk of Rain 2 in early access as the difficulty level becomes too high to finish the level eventually.

However, the patch has brought a lot of trouble, and the “fix” from May 2 has not really helped.
Especially the long wait times and the EXP problem, while there are bonus EXPs, seem to be getting on many players’ nerves.
The famous meme of the toothless, Spanish-speaking man is circulating, where the wildest stories are attributed to him in subtitles.

In Pokémon GO there are three new promo codes available in May 2020 that you can redeem. These contain important gifts for you that are apparently intended to make the “lockdown” due to the Corona virus a little more pleasant.
Update from May 3 at 1:08 PM: Since around 12:30 PM, reports have been increasing that the codes are being displayed as “expired” and cannot be redeemed. It is unclear whether this is a technical problem or if the codes have truly expired.
What’s included? The gifts include 30 Ultra Balls, 30 Great Balls, 30 Poké Balls, 30 Max Revives, and 60 Pinap Berries. So there’s something for every trainer that can be useful.
These are the codes: Quickly redeem these new codes now. It is still uncertain how long they will remain active and redeemable.
DYEZ7HBXCRUZ6EP
The code gives you 30 Great Balls and 30 Pinap Berries
H7APT5ZTLM45GZV
The code gives you 30 Poké Balls

The code gives you 30 Ultra Balls, 30 Pinap Berries, and 30 Max Revives
Currently, the Kanto research is active in Pokémon GO and you will find new shinys like Bluzuk in the wild. Those who go hunting from home and had too few balls in their inventory should significantly replenish their stock with these codes.
How to redeem the gifts? Users with Android smartphones first navigate to the in-game shop of Pokémon GO. Scroll all the way down. There you will find the text field under the heading “Promos”.
Enter each code individually and confirm it to collect the rewards.
Note: You may be shown that the code has already been redeemed. You may have already collected the items or simply need to try again. Also, check your in-game diary. All code redemptions are listed there.
iOS users with iPhones do not have the promo field in the shop. You simply navigate to the Niantic rewards website and log in there. Afterwards, the code entry field will appear. You will then see the credit in the game.
With the many balls for catching Pokémon, you are well equipped for the spotlight hours in May 2020. Niantic has already announced the dates and rewards so that you can keep these days free.
Are you happy with the gifts from Niantic or would you have preferred something else?

In WoW Classic there was a curious incident. A whole realm joined forces to get rid of a new guild. On the realm Kromcrush, a new Horde guild was bullied out.
In World of Warcraft Classic, many players have developed a close connection to their server and its structure. On the US PvP realm Kromcrush, there was an incident that forced a Horde guild to its knees, leading to its disbandment.
Nearly 400 Alliance players focused on one Horde guild to drive them off the server.
What happened? The realm Kromcrush has a significant imbalance. 38% Alliance are up against a staggering 62% Horde players.
The guild “Swamp” wanted to transfer from the realm Incendius to Kromcrush. Since that would be another large Horde guild, it would only exacerbate the imbalance.
When the players from Kromcrush noted that this wouldn’t help the realm, the guild responded that they didn’t care. The rest of the players “just have to deal with it.” That’s exactly what the players did.
No chance – the entire guild was attacked and taken over by mind control.
Horde boycotts guild – Alliance strikes
This is how the realm reacted: After the guild transferred, a united front against Swamp immediately formed. The other Horde players refused to cooperate with the members of Swamp. They neither sold them materials nor joined their groups. But the Horde was not the only faction that turned against Swamp.
The Alliance also made life difficult for Swamp. When the guild wanted to spend their first raid night in Molten Core, around 400 Alliance players gathered to prevent the guild from doing so. They repeatedly killed Swamp players on their way to the raid entrance. Especially the guild and raid leader was continually stopped by mind control from even reaching the raid.
Horde players from other guilds have been generously looking the other way. Although the Horde dominates the realm, Swamp received no help from other Horde members and faced the overwhelming power alone.
Guild disbanded: The “finale” was reached when Swamp finally arrived in Molten Core after many hours of delay. The pressure became evidently too great and there was the realization that they wouldn’t get a foothold on this realm. After the raid leader was held up for hours, he said they would “see each other in 3 months.” He disbanded the guild and logged out of the game immediately. The scene was captured in a stream:
With the 3 months, he referred to the period that members of Swamp have to wait to transfer again. This is only possible every 3 months.
What do you think of this approach? Is it cool that the server held together to counter further imbalance? Or should the guild Swamp not have been treated this way?

In Season 10 of Destiny 2, players can once again hunt for a new title. Recently, your Guardian can show off with the add-on “Allmächtig”.We will reveal here which triumphs are required and how you can complete the final stage of the Seraph Tower event.
This is how seasonal titles work: In Destiny 2, you can earn cool titles for a while now. These are associated with hard work or a lot of grinding and reward you with a prominent name suffix. This way, every player can see what tier you are.
Since Year 3, seasonal variants have been added to the titles from various activities. These can only be earned in the current season and then disappear from Destiny. Only those who were there can show off later.
Which title is the rarest and thus most prestigious can be seen here:
When does the title disappear? If you’re worried about having to hurry, you can be reassured. The season ends on June 9, as a look at the season pass reveals.
As is customary for the seasonal name suffix, the title of the Season of Worthy requires your commitment to the currently popular activities of Season 10. However, only since April 21 can diligent Guardians take the final step towards “Allmächtig”.
In Season, you ally with Warmind Rasputin to destroy the Cabal ship “The Allmacht”.
This is what the new title entails: To call yourself “Allmächtig”, you must complete several triumphs and the associated tasks beforehand. In the current season, 7 of these special challenges await you.
You can check your progress at any time from the menu at the corresponding seal – in the “Triumphs” tab. For the first time, no seasonal emblem needs to be collected for this. However, you must prove yourself in these two activities:
Rasputin’s Seraph Bunker
Legendary Lost Sectors
Seraph Tower Event
By completing the triumphs, you will also receive Warmind Bits (seasonal currency).
These 2 triumphs await in the Seraph Bunker:
Warmind Security – Fully upgrade all Seraph Bunkers.
Algorithm Efficiency – Clear all 3 Seraph Bunkers in one day.
The seal of Season 10 shows the symbol of the Warmind
We have introduced how the Warmind facilities work and in what order you should ideally take the upgrades in our guide to the Seraph Bunkers.
Clearing the bunkers takes significantly less time and should not cost you more than an hour. Enter the facilities in the EDZ, on Io, and on the Moon. Behind Rasputin, you will find a locked door every day that leads you to some adds, champions, and a mini-boss. If you defeat all enemies, the bunker is considered cleared. Don’t forget to pack the artifact mods against the nasty champions.
These 4 triumphs await in the Legendary Lost Sectors:
Resolved Issues: Legendary Lost Sectors in the EDZ – Complete each Legendary Lost Sector in the EDZ.
Resolved Issues: Legendary Lost Sectors on Io – Complete each Legendary Lost Sector on Io.
Resolved Issues: Legendary Lost Sectors on the Moon – Complete each Legendary Lost Sector on the Moon.
Object-Oriented – Complete a Legendary Lost Sector without dying.
You start the new difficulty of the Lost Sectors from the main room of the Seraph Bunker. To take on these missions, the bunker must be cleared, by the way. Each day, one Legendary Lost Sector is active per planet. So you will need at least 3 days to master this task.
For your run without dying, we recommend fighting with a team. It doesn’t matter to you if the colleagues bite the dust. Just stay in the background and reap the triumph – but make sure to get your revenge afterward.
Additionally, you can call in Valkyries and powerful Warmind robots for support through the bunker upgrades. Their firepower can swiftly melt bosses.
The new combat bots make quick work of enemies.
Completing the final stage of the Seraph Tower Event
This triumph awaits at the Seraph Tower event:
Hardwired Victory: Complete a public Seraph Tower event without a single helper tower charging cycle failing.
During the entire activity, not a single enemy may be in the security area when the charges spawn. In other words, if only 2 charges appear in a cycle, you can restart the event.
This triumph has been active since April 21 with the update 2.8.1 in Destiny 2 and is probably the hardest task for the seasonal title.
At this point, we assume that you are familiar with the routines and mechanics of the activity. If you feel the need to catch up, you will find helpful information here:
What’s new in the event: Basically, the process of the event at the start is the same, except for a few additional enemies with yellow health bars. After the first waves, however, you will need to defend not just one security area, but 2.
This means you must also charge both connections to the main tower. Additionally, with each wave, stronger versions of the enemies will appear until you have to deal with mini-bosses.
Tips to master the triumph “Hardwired Victory”:
Approach the activity on the Moon, where the towers are well positioned relative to each other.
You can wait to throw the last charge until you have successfully managed another defense cycle. This way, you will receive additional charges, which serve as a time saver, especially in the last waves.
Play in a team or team up with random players in the area. Up to 9 Guardians can participate in the event simultaneously – theoretically, you can also search for your friends in the location via fast travel until you

In Pokémon GO, the GO Rocket special research is taking a break in the form you know it. But that doesn’t mean the end of the villains. Niantic hints at something new.
What’s going on? In Pokémon GO, special research appears regularly related to popular events in the game. This also includes Team GO Rocket. But for now, that has come to an end. At least for the type of research you know.
The team from Niantic explains on their homepage that there will be no new Team GO Rocket special research “between May and September”.
But that doesn’t mean you’re completely rid of the villains. It seems that the developers are already working on a new method to incorporate quests involving these villains into the game.
What will happen in the summer with Team Rocket?
What Niantic says: The announcement of no Team GO Rocket special research between May and September may confuse many players. After all, summer is the ideal time to play Pokémon GO.
However, considering the current COVID situation, it makes sense that Niantic doesn’t want to incentivize players to leave their homes through quests. For this reason, you can now also participate in raids remotely.
Furthermore, the announcement states that Professor Willow and his team are very surprised about the calm situation with Team GO Rocket.
What could Professor Willow be working on now?
“Of course, we hope that Team GO Rocket will be history – but knowing these villains, that will hardly be the case. We will keep you updated, as we doubt that Team GO Rocket will remain so calm all summer long…”, it states in the Niantic blog.
What could they mean? It seems that they do not want to remove Team GO Rocket from Pokémon GO.
The developers may now be working to make the Rocket experience playable from home. So you might not have to run to stops anymore. A new way to interact with the villains is being hinted at, at least according to the blog post. The team doubts that Team GO Rocket will stay quiet all summer long.
Another Twitter user suggests being able to conduct Rocket battles like remote raids. As long as you see a Rocket stop “nearby”, you should be able to click on it and fight there.
What ideas do you have to bring Team GO Rocket to Pokémon GO in new ways? Prepare for the May 2020 spotlight hours in Pokémon GO. The dates are already set.

This is how far they have come: In the first run, the group actually managed to down 7 out of 12 bosses – so more than half. Whether the other bosses will follow in the coming days remains to be seen.
Anyone who wants to watch the entire stream can do so in this video. The actual raiding starts at around 1:00:00.

How is this even possible? The fact that a pure tank group can plow through the mythic version of Ny’alotha is mainly due to two different systems that together have a great effect.
The essence Strength of the Guardian for the Heart of Azeroth is the first factor. A passive effect is that the health points of all tanks in the raid increase by 3% – and this is stackable. In a group of 20 tanks, all using this essence, each character has over 60% additional health points!
The second factor is the corruption effect Twilight Devastation. This deals damage in an area in front of the respective player that corresponds to (depending on the level) 18% of their own health points. As many players also stack this corruption, the value rises to up to 36% of their own health points.
When tank players, who already have many health points, now increase this value by 60% and then deal 36% of their HP as damage, extremely high values can be achieved, where even the toughest bosses melt away in no time. For a tank that has (even if only for a short time) 4 million health points, this equates to a damage of 1.4 million – with a critical hit even a whopping 2.8 million.
Some players are now calling for a nerf for the corresponding essences or the corruption effects. Others, however, believe that such actions are normal at the end of an expansion and are just part of it.
What do you think about all this?

In 2020, we have seen two major moves from gaming giants so far: the launch of Call of Duty: Warzone and the beta start of Valorant. What strategies are Riot Games and Activision Blizzard pursuing, and what makes these titles so interesting? Our author Schuhmann looks at both games.
This is the situation: 2020 has not seen major releases in gaming following traditional patterns yet. Due to the Corona crisis, the release of several games has been postponed: New World and The Last of Us 2 are coming later.
Additionally, several major multiplayer titles flopped in 2019, making Ubisoft more cautious and pushing its games back in 2020. Cyberpunk 2077, which many are waiting for, is simply not finished yet. We won’t even start on Diablo 4.
Call of Duty Warzone has been a hot shooter since March.
The gaming year 2020 is so far defined by two online titles:
The closed beta of the free-to-play tactical shooter Valorant started on April 7, exclusively on PC. The streamlined and minimalist shooter dominates especially Twitch and has set new records there.
No game has been watched more on Twitch in the last 90 days than Valorant. Call of Duty also saw significant growth. (via sullygnome)
On paper, both games have many similarities:
they are shooters
they are free
they were released in a “relatively quiet window”
they come from some of the biggest companies in gaming (behind Riot Games is the even larger gaming giant Tencent)
they rely heavily on influencers and platforms like Twitch
But in reality, both games have almost nothing in common. They target different player types and pursue completely different goals.
Warzone – Call of Duty goes Free2Play
This is what Warzone wants: Warzone has three primary goals for Activision Blizzard
They want to make “Call of Duty” a brand that functions year-round, not just from October to March. The core brand should be further strengthened after the strong push into mobile.
They want a maximally accessible free-to-play game to be more present in the market. Activision had a gap with free-to-play titles. There is money to be made here that others have earned before.
Warzone is strongly positioned between Fortnite and Apex Legends.
This is how Warzone achieved its goals: The plan to develop Warzone must have been around for years. In hindsight, the “Blackout” mode from 2018 was something like a half-thought-out prototype.
Its final form likely took shape early in 2019, when Apex Legends unexpectedly became a hit for Electronic Arts.
The fundamental question of Warzone was likely: How do we take Call of Duty and make it maximally accessible so that as many players as possible try out the title and then perhaps buy the full-price titles in the coming years?
A standalone free-to-play game in the battle royale genre was the solution.
Call of Duty is reloading.
They are now strongly oriented toward the two titles that were most successful in 2018 and 2019 with this strategy:
From Apex Legends, CoD Warzone took the mysterious launch idea. The release was meant to come unexpectedly. Leaks ruined that. For the release, they relied on influencers diving into the title.
Activision has taken a rather traditional approach with Warzone: They presented their big brand as a “maximally accessible game” and filled a gap in their offering.
Valorant is a classic team shooter, but it relies on modern strategies.
Valorant: You are allowed to watch, not play
This is what Valorant wants: Riot is also pursuing three goals with Valorant, but different ones.
They want to place a game in the competitive shooter space as a modern alternative to CS:GO, Overwatch, and Rainbow Six Siege.
They want to establish themselves as a player in the market who can do more than just League of Legends.
This is how Valorant achieved its goals: While Warzone focused on maximum accessibility, Riot Games took a completely different path: maximum exclusivity. There is no way to access the beta “normally”.
Through this artificial scarcity, Riot Games managed to create high demand.
Some people wanted astronomical prices on eBay for beta accounts to Valorant. The “cheaper” offers were around €40 in mid-April.
This leads to the situation where beta access is being traded on eBay, and curiosity about Valorant is high. Everyone can see Valorant, but only a few can actually play it.
3 of the 10 top streamers on Twitch participated in Valorant. From left: DrLupo, TimTheTatman, Summit1g.
Valorant does not aim to impress with great graphics but is intentionally subdued to highlight gameplay and readability.
The focus of Riot Games is on developing a game that can succeed in esports long-term, hence the emphasis on cheat detection, while Warzone has already suffered from significant weaknesses in this area.
Which approach is successful? In the first months, both approaches, although so different, turned out to be a resounding success.
CoD Warzone has managed to revitalize CoD Modern Warfare. Call of Duty is still relevant in May 2020. This has never been the case in previous years.
Valorant has managed to make a huge wave in April and establish itself as an important online title with little effort, while other games have sunk.
Both shooters have come out excellently from the starting blocks. But that was only the first section. CoD Warzone and Valorant must demonstrate through further actions how they can sustainably capitalize on their initially successful launch strategies.
This is how 2020 could continue.
The Corona crisis has shaken up the gaming year 2020. Currently, free-to-play shooters dominate. But this could change throughout the year. We look at the 8 most promising MMOs and MMORPGs for 2020.
This is an AI-powered translation. Some inaccuracies might exist.
The next big update for the MMORPG Guild Wars 2 is coming in May. However, the current Corona situation is also affecting it. The bad news is beautifully packaged by the ArenaNet employees.
The episode is on schedule and is set to be released as planned, despite working from home. However, it will be completely without voice acting.
All recording studios are currently closed due to the Coronavirus, so no recordings could be made, neither in German nor in English or any other language.
How was the bad news beautifully packaged? The fact that the new episode will forgo voice acting was also announced in a video. And this video is beautiful.
In it, the English voice actors express a message to the fans from their own home or garden. And that resonates very well with many fans.

This video is very well received by many GW2 fans, although it contains bad news.
“This message was unexpectedly heartwarming”
How are players reacting to the news? Under the video and also on reddit, many players express that they find it unfortunate that there is no voice acting, but that the video touched them incredibly:
So writes the YouTube user Eric Tomiczek: “This little message was unexpectedly heartwarming. They are all incredibly talented and likable, we owe them countless unforgettable moments. Thank you for understanding that well-being is the highest good. We can wait! Take care of yourselves!”
Pok’l’Ours also expresses positively on YouTube: “I like the way of communication and how they stay safe while delivering content without sacrificing quality. Great job.”
Will the sound be added later? As soon as recordings can be safely done again, they are to be added for the episode “No Mercy”.
Currently, there is also a discount promotion where you can buy the latest expansion Path of Fire for 14.99 Euros. It also includes the first addon Heart of Thorns, as well as an upgrade to max level.

You can now secure a free watch for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone. It’s really easy and takes just a few minutes of your time. We will show you how to unlock the Mobile Watch.
What’s it about? The developers of Call of Duty are now giving you the chance to secure a free watch. All you have to do is connect your Call of Duty account with the mobile version and Modern Warfare.
After a waiting period, the watch will be unlocked for you, and you can wear it in Modern Warfare. This also works in the battle royale mode Warzone.
How to get the free watch in Warzone and Modern Warfare
What you need to do: First, you need to create a “Call of Duty” account. You can do this here on the CoD website if you don’t have one yet.
This account then needs to be linked with your player profile in Call of Duty: Mobile and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.
Log in on the website, select your player profile, and check if the linking was successful. Both profiles should be linked to the same account. Alternatively, you will receive a message in CoD Mobile when the account linking was successful.
Once you have completed these steps and linked both profiles, the watch will be unlocked. However, it may take up to 72 hours until you actually find the wristwatch in your inventory. Then it will appear, as usual, in the watch menu of the game.
What’s more? If you link your CoD account to CoD: Mobile for the first time, you will receive the “Outrider Arctic” uniform for the mobile game for free.
Again, it may take up to 72 hours until you receive this as a message in Call of Duty Mobile.
Why is Activision doing this?
What’s behind it: Activision is distributing the watch reward in conjunction with the launch of Season 6 in Call of Duty: Mobile. The new season “Once Upon A Time In Rust” started on May 1 with a new battle pass. Among other things, Cowboy Ghost is waiting for you there.
By linking the accounts, you might get the urge to (re)jump back into Call of Duty: Mobile and check out the new season. It includes:
A new battle pass with Ghost Cowboy and Seraph Desperada
New maps like Rust and Saloon
New LTMs like Capture the Flag, 1v1 Duel, and Kill Confirmed
It’s quite possible that there will be more events between Mobile and MW/Warzone in the future to create further synergies and strengthen the community of the games.
The best player that Overwatch had in 2019 announces his retirement. The Overwatch League MVP, Jay “Sinatraa” Won, is no longer interested in Overwatch and will now play Valorant . The responsible e-sports chief at Blizzard expresses disappointment but states that the decision is understood. The MVP skin will still be released.
Who is leaving? 20-year-old Jay Won, known as Sinatraa, was recently the e-sports star of the Overwatch League. He was voted the league’s Most Valuable Player in 2019 and won the Overwatch League Grand Finals 2019 with his team, San Francisco Shock, as well as the Overwatch World Cup with Team USA.
He is also considered “the face of the league”.
Won achieved particular success as Zarya. In a 3 Tanks/3 Support setup, he could provide the necessary damage.
With new changes, Overwatch is no longer fun for him
Here’s why he’s leaving: Sinatraa states that he has lost his passion for Overwatch. He can’t pinpoint what killed his passion, whether it was the “2-2-2” forced distribution (the role lock) or Blizzard’s decision to introduce hero bans.
It’s no longer fun for him to play pre-defined roles and have his heroes banned regularly. It has become increasingly difficult for him to log into Overwatch. The decision has been a long time coming, and he has given it a lot of thought.
Though it’s unfortunate, he ultimately decided to do the right thing. He will switch to Valorant.
This is what Blizzard says: The responsible person at Blizzard is Jon Spector, the Vice President of Overwatch esports. He made a statement on the matter (via reddit):
The Overwatch League showcases the approximately 200 best Overwatch players in the world. Many of them have prior professional experience in games like Counterstrike, TF2, or LoL. Players fall in love with other games and choose to pursue that love, and that is something we understand.
But of course, it is disappointing to see a top player like Sinatraa leave Overwatch. He had an incredible season last year, and I personally loved watching him compete at the highest level. I hope he and all other former Overwatch professionals find continuous success in what they do.
Jon Spector, Vice President of Overwatch eSports (Blizzard)
The planned MVP skin for Sinatraa’s hero Zarya will still be released, even though Sinatraa is leaving the league, says Spector.
The background: 2020 was supposed to be the year when the Overwatch League “takes off.” Now there have been some setbacks for Blizzard and Overwatch:
Some see the switch critically. The former Overwatch caster MonteCristo states that “the face of the league and the reigning MVP” is switching to a title that does not yet have an esports scene.

World of Warcraft in current graphics? Ironforge in Unreal Engine 4 could become a real eye-catcher, as this video shows.
Even though the graphics of World of Warcraft are more or less timeless due to the comic look, they have not kept up with the latest technology for some time now – even if WoW will soon get ray tracing. Many people take this as an opportunity to recreate special places from World of Warcraft in Unreal Engine 4 and give them a modern and more realistic look.
One of these people is the YouTuber Brian Vagie, who has taken on the dwarven city of Ironforge. He has recreated the large capital city from World of Warcraft with details, as well as a large part of the surrounding area of Dun Morogh.
You can watch the video here:
https://youtu.be/6vYEpNtOz94
Ironforge in modern graphics – this is how it could look.
What is to be seen? Next to the impressive mountain with the dwarven towers, the forge inside is especially eye-catching. The various districts are also richly detailed, especially the tinkers’ quarter has many little quirks that gnome players would likely recognize. The journey ends in the deep railway, which connects Ironforge to the human capital Stormwind.
What is being criticized: In this example of Ironforge, however, there is also a lot of criticism. This is mainly because the creator seems to have exaggerated a bit with the lighting and bloom effects. As a result, many objects reflect too strongly and the many details appear out of place, as if they are not an integrated part of the environment. With slightly toned-down effects, Ironforge could work well in modern graphics.
What do you think of Ironforge in Unreal Engine 4? Would it be cool to experience WoW in a more modern and realistic graphic? Or would that ruin the gaming experience?

Currently, an Olympic competition is taking place in Destiny 2, but players suspect that things are not quite fair in the Guardian Games – the Titans have been winning everything for a week. Bungie is now clarifying and laying out the facts.
The event flags indicate which class is in the lead – the Titan banner has been flying high for days
However, since the Titans have been snatching all the gold medals and reaping all the glory for over a week now, players suspect that there is something fishy going on in the Guardian Games.
The accusations include:
The medal weighting favors Titans
one can quickly earn medals as a Titan
Titans collect laurels faster than other classes
It simply cannot be explained otherwise that the Titan banner is raised so quickly, so high, and so uncatchably every event day. Because the flags in the Tower indicate which class currently has the lead in the competition.
Additionally, there are videos circulating online that show Titans seemingly handing over endless medals to the competition judge Eva Levante. The former underdogs are throwing these things into the scale at a rapid pace. This is referred to as “Net Limiting”:

Check out this video to see how a Titan apparently hands over an infinite number of medals
Bungie Provides Clarity and Restores Titan Honor
This is what Bungie says about the accusations: In the TWaB from April 29, Bungie gave a clear answer to the allegations: Titans are not cheating, everything is fair in the event.
According to Bungie, deleting and creating new characters statistically does not matter, and the seemingly endless medals are only visually impressive, but count for nothing. The Titans’ lead can be explained by diligence and dedication: “Titans are currently putting in the most effort.”
They took their time with the definitive answer because they didn’t want to rush to judgment:
We have double-checked everything behind the scenes and are digging through the data to get a better picture of what is happening.
These statements are accompanied by Senior Designer Peter Sarrett with statistics and a look behind the curtain. He explains how the weighting and the event flags work.
This is how the weighting works: At Bungie, the weighting was oriented based on the pool of all potential event participants: “For each class, we counted every character that played at least one activity in the 30 days before the start of the event and then divided the result by the total number of all three classes.”
Now, when you hand in a medal in the tower, this weighting factor comes into play, and a medal from Hunters is worth slightly less than one from less popular classes. They decided against only considering active participants as a weighting factor.
This method counts the percentage of participants, not the sheer manpower:
The more members of your class show up to play, the better your class will perform. It also means we don’t have to worry about players creating a bunch of dummy accounts when the event starts to try to improve a team’s chances.
For those who want to see the full statistics, here’s how the ratio of potential player pool to medals handed out per head looks:
The graphics show that Titans are proportionally the most frequent participants in the event, and each Titan also earns more medals on average than the other two classes
This is how the event flags work: A feature of the event that is generally well received by players are the event flags. They serve as an indicator for all counted medals and show the competition progress visibly to every Guardian.
In past events, players often had to refer to external sites or Bungie’s Twitter channel for this information.
At each daily reset (7:00 PM German time), the flag status for each class is reset – all flags hang in the middle. If all flags are in the middle, this corresponds to a distribution of 33% of all daily medals for each class.
If a class achieves a lead of at least 5%, the corresponding flag is raised to the top of the mast (the same applies in reverse for a 5% deficit). This makes leads or deficits appear relatively larger than they actually are.

In Shadowlands, the professions of World of Warcraft become interesting again. Blizzard has many new (and old) ideas to properly enhance professions.
Crafting professions in World of Warcraft have been consistently neglected over the past years. For several expansions now, a (at least quite vocal) part of the player base has complained that professions are irrelevant and the crafted gear is, in most cases, junk to be replaced by the first heroic dungeon.
However, this is supposed to change with the new WoW expansion Shadowlands. We at MeinMMO have taken a first look at the professions and show what changes with Shadowlands.
Crafting professions need help from other players: The most important change first. All professions in Shadowlands rely on the help of fellow players. It is no longer enough to just have a crafting profession and a gathering profession – interaction with other players is mandatory.
For example, jewelcrafters require a setting for their best gems that can only be made by blacksmiths.
Blacksmiths create the Elethium setting – jewelers need this urgently.
Items can receive upgrades: The most exciting change may be that you can use additional components and materials when crafting an item.
These optional materials provide additional effects to items. For example, you can increase the item level by up to 20 with a scroll (which you obtain from scribes). A special thread from tailors can add frost damage protection, and a little gadget from engineers can give your bracers a use effect with fire damage.
Especially cool: You can even determine the secondary stats of armor (Critical Strike Rating, Haste, Versatility, Mastery). To do this, you need to add jewels with the corresponding values during crafting.
Secondary attributes and bonus effects can be determined with additional components.
All these additional components are not mandatory, but they make items significantly stronger. So it’s worth knowing a player or two from each crafting profession – or covering everything with alts yourself.
There are many more crafting materials: Another thing is that you can already start cleaning out your resource bank. Shadowlands brings a plethora of crafting materials, significantly more than in Battle for Azeroth.
For each area, there is a unique ore and herb as well as many different types of leather. Anyone wanting to craft something and wants to do it themselves will have to travel around all the areas of Shadowlands and gather something from each zone.
Jewelers need more resources – to create an orange gem, they need to mix red and yellow.
What else has changed? Aside from these major changes, there are also several smaller adjustments worth mentioning:
All crafting professions can create legendary items. However, these are still unfinished in the game, so a preview is not possible.
Ranks of individual crafts seem to have disappeared (the “star levels”). You no longer need three ranks of each recipe.
The additional components will also be available for old content. So classic items or those from Battle for Azeroth can also be upgraded in this way.
Enchantments can be applied to many more slots. There are enchantments for gloves, shoes, weapons, pants, rings, and more.
Will everything be better now? Whether the many changes will fulfill the wishes of the players and make professions attractive even in the endgame remains to be seen.
In any case, profession fans will need to interact with other players or play many alts to be self-sufficient. This is a good foundation for social interaction and a nice way to make good gold in the auction house.
But the whole system stands and falls with whether professions still have relevance in the endgame or if, after crafting a legendary item, only jewelcrafters, enchanters, and alchemists are needed, as has been the case for years.
What do you think about the planned changes to crafting in World of Warcraft? Are these cool changes, or is it rather annoying not to be able to handle everything on your own anymore?

In Fortnite there are countless skins that you can buy. MyMMO author Eilyn Rapp has 5 skins that she regrets buying to this day. These are her bad purchases and why she regrets them.
What are Fortnite skins? In Fortnite: Battle Royale, your character is usually determined randomly before each match. However, if you prefer to have a distinctive look, you can purchase skins from the shop or unlock them.
The so-called skins can be bought in the item shop for V-Bucks. V-Bucks are the real-money currency of Fortnite.
I, Eilyn, love to buy skins from the shop. Now I make sure that the skins I choose really appeal to me or fit my style before I spend money on them.
This wasn’t always the case, and it quickly happened that I made rash purchases of outfits. However, there are 5 purchases I particularly regret.
Fortnite Skin – Ace
Let’s start with a skin whose purchase turned out to be worthwhile in some way. It was a starter pack.
Ace was a skin that could be bought in the 3rd starter pack of Fortnite. The pack was available for 4.99 euros. Along with the pack, you also received 600 V-Bucks, which was a real bargain.
The V-Bucks were actually the only reason I bought the skin at all. I have never used the outfit, and to this day I would not wear it because I simply do not like it at all.
Ace (Starter Pack III)
Fortnite Skin – Shade
I bought this skin for one reason only: the back accessory. There was a small backpack adorned with golden assault rifle ammunition.
I simply had to have this back piece to use it with other skins. However, I had to purchase the entire skin, which cost me a hefty 1,500 V-Bucks (about 15 euros), even though I cannot warm up to the outfit itself.
Shade which costs 1,500 V-Bucks
Fortnite Skin – Fate
To this day, I do not understand what possessed me when I bought this skin. It appeared in the shop, and I thought: WOW! She looks really cool with her leg cape and hood.
Without thinking long, I bought the skin and felt totally happy. After a short time, I took a closer look at her face and realized that it looked somehow odd. She seemed so grumpy, and that did not suit me at all.
However, since she was so expensive, specifically 2,000 V-Bucks (about 20 euros), I used her a few times in the game and then never took her out of the locker again.
Fate looked so cool at first glance
Fortnite Skin – Highland Warrior
I still vividly remember buying this skin. It was one of the first female outfits that could be purchased in Fortnite. I was so excited to finally have a different female skin.
However, over time other female characters appeared in the shop, and to be honest, I never really liked the skin model. She has such big eyes that it’s almost creepy.
This skin also cost me about 15 euros, and now it sits in my locker unused.
Highland Warrior, one of my first Fortnite skins
Fortnite Skin – Dino Commando
Now let’s move on to the number 1 spot of most regrettable skins: Dino Commando. I bought the outfit solely for the back accessory. It was a baby dino hatching from an egg. Totally cute!
What is not so cute is the price I paid for it. A whopping 2,000 V-Bucks (about 20 euros) I spent on it. For a back piece that I also do not use anymore.
I call that a real bad purchase that I still regret and don’t even want to see in my locker because I am simply ashamed of it.
Dino Commando, which should disappear from my locker
As you can see, I have spent around 75 euros for these skins, which just sit and gather dust in my locker. Fortunately, I managed to leave this habit behind and now only buy skins that are really worth it. It doesn’t matter if they belong to the rarest skins in Fortnite. How about you, do you also have skins that you regret buying?
