A highlight in Destiny 2 is the lavish raids that often come with complex mechanics. For newcomers or players who have not been interested in the content before, this can be intimidating. It doesn’t have to be, says the community, and offers valuable tips for the raids.
What is it about? In the Destiny 2 subreddit, user vjr124 shared a great story: he recently joined a group through LFG in the Forsaken raid “Last Wish”. Also present was a young Guardian who had never been in the raid before. However, he was grateful that the experienced players wanted to guide him through the raid and teach him the mechanics.
As vjr124 continues, the young teammate did not behave like most newcomers: instead of just functioning as support and watching the adds, he wanted to learn the raid from top to bottom and master all positions. He said something like, “No matter what I do, it’s all new anyway, so I can do anything!”
This attitude impressed vjr124, and he listed three important tips that all Destiny 2 players should keep in mind in raids.
In “Last Wish”, you fight against the nasty Ahamkara Riven
What are the tips? vjr124 compiled tips that constitute a good raid mentality for him. These can be applied not only in “Last Wish” but also in all raids in Destiny or even in other games:
Be ready to learn and fail: Learning the mechanics and failing is the most efficient way to learn a raid. By practicing, one can easily identify problems and learn to prepare for them.
Talk to each other: It is important to point out when you do not understand mechanics. Equally important is to absorb all information about the raid so that you can be flexible in your role and even teach newcomers.
Keep trying: Even if the simplest encounters seem insurmountable, the only option is to keep trying. The more you pay attention and actively attempt to learn the methods, the quicker you will gain an understanding of the encounters.
What do the players say? The post by vjr124 is very well received by the Guardians. Many are signing up to contribute their tips or comment on the user’s suggestions. Especially the point that teammates should always talk to each other is very well received.
Bungie has also chimed in on the post: The community manager dmg04 pointed out that players should discuss after each attempt in the raid what worked and what did not. They should feel comfortable asking many questions to understand the flow of the bosses and be able to follow it.
Currently, there is a Free Weekend in The Division 2 , attracting many tourists to Washington. But the merchants of the post-apocalypse have their rhythm and are upgrading their shop windows overnight from Friday to Saturday, June 15th, with new items. We show you the best deals from the vendor reset – agents particularly praise two armor pieces.
This is what the vendors in The Division 2 are for: The idea of the vendors is currently more focused on buying specific items to then deconstruct them for particularly high perks that you can apply to your armor. This is done through recalibrating.
It’s hardly about getting direct upgrades. Therefore, we present rolls here that are explicitly praised by agents, because they are close to a “maximum value”, that an armor piece can achieve in a specific category (so-called God-Roll).
Salvaged Suneate Knee Bracers: The knee pads offer a bonus of 11.5% to armor. They have item level 482. You can find them at the vendor in the Dark Zone East.
The recommending agent says: It’s not the maximum roll, but already quite good for anyone looking for more armor on their knee pads.
Another adds: The percentage increase of armor on knee pads is better than just having armor.
This is currently happening in The Division 2:
Update 4 is coming next week – which will improve The Division 2 at 6 key points. We have presented them extensively.
According to new reports, Amazon removed dozens of employees from their gaming projects and effectively laid them off on the last day of E3 2019. However, the fallout is soft. Amazon has canceled some gaming projects. The survival MMO New World is safe.
Where does the news come from? The US site Kotaku received the information from a source at Amazon Game Studios, who was laid off themselves.
Amazon has confirmed the layoffs in a statement but did not disclose how many game developers were removed from their projects or which specific games in development were canceled.
The interesting thing is that the news surfaced on the last day of E3 2019.
Breakaway was a flop at Amazon and was canceled early.
This is what is happening at Amazon now: Amazon laid off “dozens of employees” on Thursday morning, effectively removing them from their current gaming projects.
The employees now have the opportunity to seek new positions within Amazon. If they do not find new employment at Amazon within 60 days, they will receive a severance package.
In addition, Amazon has canceled several “unannounced projects”.
New World, an MMO hope from Amazon. It is still under development.
This is what Amazon says: They say they are “reorganizing some teams” to give more attention to the development of New World and Crucible and to prioritize “new unannounced projects” that they are excited to unveil in the future.
Such maneuvers are normal in business planning, as long-term goals change. They are now working closely with affected employees to secure them new positions at Amazon.
The TOTS event in FIFA 19 continues and brings next Team of the Season from Ligue 1. You can find out what the team looks like here.
The Ligue 1 TOTS: The Team of the Season of the first French league is the last TOTS of a major European league. EA Sports was responsible for selecting the players, and this is what the team looks like:
The Ligue 1 Team of the Season
The strongest cards in the Ligue 1 TOTS: Really strong new TOTS cards are received by Neymar (98), Pepe (96), and Mbappe (96). But Di Maria (95), Thiago Silva (95), and Cavani have also received decent TOTS cards.
Players from the Rest of the World
Other players: This week EA Sports will release more TOTS cards of players from South America. Including players from these leagues: Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, and Chile.
Starting eleven:
GK: Benitez (93)
CB: Marquinhos (95)
RB: Lala (94)
CB: Jose Fonte (91)
CAM: Neymar (98)
RM: Pepe (96)
CM: Verrati (94)
CDM: Savanier (93)
CDM: Thiago Mendes (92)
ST: Mbappe (96)
LW: Di Maria (95)
Substitutes:
GK: Maignan (89)
CB: Thiago Silva (95)
RB: Atal (89)
LB: Mendy (92)
RM: Thauvin (93)
ST: Cavani (95)
ST: Khazri (88)
LM: Bamba (90)
ST: Delort (89)
This is the new TOTS card of Neymar: After his TOTY card Neymar also receives a TOTS card in FUT 19. This one is even one point stronger than the TOTY version.
Neymar TOTS (98)
It is noticeable that Neymar’s new TOTS card has changed position to CAM. This makes this card even more versatile.
Neymar-TOTY VS Neymar-TOTS
In direct comparison, Neymar’s new TOTS card has increased almost everywhere by one point in rating. The biggest and most important boost is, however, in the physical stat:
Physical: 80 -> 86
How to get the new TOTS cards
From packs: As always, TOTS cards can be in these packs:
To actually pull a good TOTS card from packs, a lot of luck is required. Therefore, you should rather use the transfer market.
What you need to pay attention to in the transfer market: You should always keep an eye on the prices of TOTS players on the transfer market. These are particularly high in the first days of a new TOTS.
Therefore, it is best to wait with the purchase of a TOTS player, as prices tend to drop after a few days.
What exactly is the Team of the Season?
This is how the event works: The Team of the Season (TOTS) concludes the FUT season every year and is the biggest and most important event in FIFA Ultimate Team for many FUT players. This event brings a variety of blue, significantly improved cards into the game.
The TOTS cards are that strong: The TOTS event offers many FUT players the opportunity to play with real endgame cards. And the cards are indeed impressive.
For the top stars of the big leagues, upgrades of 6-10 points in overall rating are not uncommon.
Comparison Gold Card with TOTS Card
Otherwise, the TOTS cards behave like Inform cards. While a TOTS team is active, the TOTS versions replace the normal gold cards.

Weapon:The Queenbreaker – Linear Fusion Rifle for 29 Legendary Shards
The Twitch star Shroud is known for playing challenging shooters and showcasing them to his large audience. Now, the former CS professional apparently has a new favorite game: Fallout 76.
This is what Shroud says about Fallout 76:Shroud seems to be excited about Fallout 76. Since June 12, he has completed two streams where he showed about 9 hours of gameplay from Fallout 76.
God, I want to play more, but I can’t. I’ll play again tomorrow, no problem. It’s fun, man, there’s something special about just hanging around and building random classes and all that. Oh boy!

Here’s Shroud’s decision: Shroud actually plays shooters on Twitch, and in recent weeks Apex Legends has become his main game. However, this has particularly troubled him lately due to a now-fixed bug.
Nevertheless, Shroud announced on June 10 via Twitter that Fallout 76 would become his new main game. What sounded like a joke to many users now seems to be true for at least a while.

One of the reasons for the decision might also be that Fallout 76 is available for free for a week due to the new mode. Until June 17, you can play Fallout 76 in full and test the “Nuclear Winter” mode.
This is what the new mode offers: At E3 2019, Bethesda presented a new feature of the upcoming “Nuclear Winter” update for Fallout 76: The eponymous battle royale mode. In this, 52 players compete for the title of overseer of Vault 51.
The game combines the classic gameplay and weapons of Fallout 76, which can be found everywhere, team play in squads of up to four, and a building system that somewhat resembles that of Fortnite.
What’s particularly interesting about the mode is that atomic bombs can also be launched. Additionally, you level up with each victory and receive new perks for the mode, cosmetics, and rewards for the adventure mode of Fallout 76.
If you’re not interested in battle royale, the autumn update “Wastelanders” has something in store for you:
In September 2019, a major expansion for PS4 and Xbox One titled Monster Hunter World will be released with Iceborne. It is expected to arrive later on Steam and PC. Capcom states that Iceborne will continue to receive further updates after the release. It looks like there will be a few monsters to hunt in 2020, but it is not intended to be a game for eternity.
This is the plan: As revealed at E3 2019, Capcom intends to support the Iceborne expansion with “multiple major updates” just as they did with Monster Hunter World.
What’s included in the updates? Capcom hasn’t revealed that yet. It seems they don’t know themselves.
The producer states: “It is often better if the game launches first, you see the feedback from players, and then decide what kind of update you need to make and what kind of changes are appropriate. But this will not only be bug fixes, but also comfort improvements and balance changes.”
Major updates planned after launch
Are there only minor updates? Tsujimoto says, “We want to provide a large post-launch cycle with a lot of content to keep players engaged with the game for a long time.”
But not a game for 5 to 10 years
But that’s not the case: He also says, Monster Hunter World Iceborne is “not a games-as-a-service” title, and there are no plans to support a single title for five or ten years.
However, they want to ensure that it is not just the release, and then it’s over.
Capcom will stick to the strategy used with Monster Hunter World and release updates after the launch.
This is how it was at release: At launch, Capcom had prepared content for about three-quarters of a year with events, patches, and new monsters. However, the flow of content has gradually diminished.
The GO Fest in Chicago for Pokémon GO is in full swing and a new loading screen has been shown there. Several interesting Pokémon can be seen.
Where does the loading screen come from? Throughout the area of the GO Fest, there are PokéStops that show old loading screens. However, there is also a stop that gives a glimpse of the upcoming summer and likely shows the next loading screen.
What can be seen in the picture? The image can only be seen at the PokéStop. Thus, it is not possible to see everything that the upcoming loading screen will likely show.
This is what the loading screen looks like. Source: Reddit
However, you can already recognize 3 Pokémon that are quite interesting:
Thus, there could be an event centered around Kaumalat that could increase the spawns of this Pokémon.
Is a Water Event coming? If we look at the other Pokémon in the picture, we only see water Pokémon. This could indeed indicate a water event. It would certainly fit the theme of beach and vacation.
When will the loading screen arrive? So far, there is only this small insight during the GO Fest. However, summer is slowly starting, so we can certainly expect the new loading screen soon.
Currently, there is also an event that causes these 19 Pokémon to spawn more frequently:
In the southwestern part of the map lies the Ice Cave
Fortbyte #49: Findable in Trok’s Ice Cave
Here you can find the Byte: The sought-after Ice Cave is logically located in the ice area. Between Frosty Flights and Happy Hamlet lies the hidden cave.
When you enter the cave, you will find a small wooden shed. Inside this shed is the Fortbyte.
In this shed is the hidden Fortbyte
Be careful while searching: There are often campers lurking at the hidden Bytes. They may easily take you down. So pay close attention to your surroundings to avoid becoming a victim.

Valve, the company behind Steam, announced today the beta of Dota Underlords. This is the standalone of the Auto Chess mod. The download of the game is a bit more complicated, and we will tell you what you need to do.
What is Dota Underlords? Dota Underlords is Valve’s answer to the current “Auto Chess” hype. The original mod was developed for Dota 2, but the independent studio behind it, Drodo Games, has become independent. In the meantime, the studio has released a mobile version and announced its own PC version.
That’s why Valve announced a few weeks ago its own Auto Chess, which can now be tested in the form of Dota Underlords in an initial beta.
However, not everyone can access Underlords yet.
How do I install the beta of Dota Underlords? To gain access to the first beta of Dota Underlords, you need a Dota Battle Pass. This can only be purchased in Dota 2 itself. So, you first need to download the free game from Steam.
There are several versions of the pass available in the shop. You are only interested in “The International 2019 Battle Pass” for 8.75 euros. If you activate the pass in the main menu, Underlords will also be available to you there as a private beta.
There you can add it to your Steam library and then download it.
Underlords in the launcher of Dota
Will Dota Underlords be paid? To participate in the first beta phase of Underlords, you need the Battle Pass, but the game itself will later be free to play.
The open beta is expected to start in about a week and will be available for PC (Windows, Mac, Linux), Android, and iOS. With this beta, ranked matches and crossplay between all systems will also be activated.
But not only Valve and Drodo Games are currently working on Auto Chess, Riot also wants to release a version for League of Legends:
The new battle royale mode “Nuclear Winter” is currently entertaining players in Fallout 76. One of the developers has now come forward and revealed a trick that makes winning easier, but hardly anyone pays attention to it.
What is this trick? Developer Marc Tardif talked about the possibilities players have in the new battle royale of Fallout 76 . One of these possibilities is apparently forgotten by players, especially the veterans of the game: blueprints.
In the new battle
royale, players are allowed to set up a C.A.M.P., similar to the structures in Fortnite. Unlike the competitor, however, in Fallout 76, blueprints for a C.A.M.P. can already be saved in adventure mode.
If you create a blueprint in adventure mode, you can easily set it up in Nuclear Winter with a click without having to painstakingly connect all the parts individually.
How to use blueprints correctly
What are blueprints? Blueprints are saved templates for camps that you can set up. They represent all the components that you have built in your C.A.M.P.
With a blueprint, you can easily place a saved C.A.M.P. somewhere in the world if space and terrain allow it. The corresponding parts are either taken from storage or built directly from available resources.
To create a blueprint, you first need to set up your C.A.M.P. as desired. Then, in edit mode, a button will be displayed at the bottom that allows you to save the blueprints. This differs depending on the platform.
You will find the blueprints when editing under the “Blueprints” tab, which is located quite early in the selection.
These blueprints are worth it: With the blueprints, you can create crazy C.A.M.P.s. To have decent blueprints available in battle royale, we have some basic tips for you to quickly and easily set up a good camp:
build as small a foundation as possible and expand it upwards. Small foundations collide less often with the ground
allocate a large part of the budget for turrets. These will help you the most in Nuclear Winter
consider a small “safe room” where you can retreat if you are being besieged
design the blueprint so that opponents cannot easily invade without being stopped by defensive structures
remember that you also need a way to enter the camp. Blocking everything is also not ideal
If you want to try it out, you can still play both adventure mode and Nuclear Winter for free until June 17:
The action-adventure with superheroes, Marvel’s Avengers, aims to provide content for years to come. But how is it financed? What can microtransactions unlock?
What is available for free in the game? Marvel’s Avengers will continue to receive content after its release. Important for players are new superheroes that will be unlocked for free.
At launch, the 5 heroes
Iron Man
Hulk
Captain America
Black Widow
and Thor
are available.
Confirmed for a later release is also the character Ant-Man. Developer Crystal Dynamics stated that new superheroes will not require payment.
It is also clear that the game world in Marvel’s Avengers will be expanded with new regions after the launch. These new regions are, according to the developers, available for free.
What can you pay for?Eurogamer conducted an interview with two employees of Crystal Dynamics. Philippe Therien (Lead Designer) and Rose Hunt (Senior Producer).
The question was raised whether they would sell Iron Man skins to balance out the generous business model.
Philippe Therien responded: “We haven’t discussed what will be monetized yet. What’s important, however, is that new heroes or regions will not cost you anything when they are released.”
Rose Hunt adds: “We can say yes, you will be able to customize your hero with different skins and outfits. But this will never have any effect on gameplay. You will never find yourself in a situation where you have to pay to play.”
“We are also not doing loot boxes,” explains Therien.
There should also be further aesthetic customization options, like the Player Card. But none of this is supposed to influence gameplay.
How can characters be visually customized? Therien explains in the interview that outfits in Marvel’s Avengers can be customized. This way, they can appeal more to those who like the comic versions of the heroes. Others, who prefer the more current versions of the superheroes.
“There will be something for everyone, and there are many options to customize your heroes.”
Why are heroes and regions free? By selling new heroes or regions, the developers could generate revenue. But they do not want to go this route. The background is a social aspect:
” […] it is important for us to say this. We want to ensure that you can always play with your friends and jump in at any time.”
The new Season 7 in Destiny 2 has again brought new top weapons. All PvE fans should be excited about one weapon: the grenade launcher Wendigo GL3. The quest for this weapon is elaborate, but players have already found a way to shorten the grind.
Which weapon are we talking about? In Season 7, there are again new top weapons. In the Vanguard, there is an absolute top weapon to grab this new Season 7: the legendary grenade launcher Wendigo GL3.
The grenade launcher deals Arc damage and fires flashbangs. Collected Spheres of Light increase the explosion radius and damage.
The Wendigo GL3 is the top weapon of the Vanguard in Season 7
What do you need to do for the weapon? The weapon is available through a quest line from Zavala. In the inventory of the Vanguard Titan, you can grab the legendary quest “A Gift for the Worthy,” which begins the task.
The quest requires you to achieve grenade launcher multikills and grenade launcher kills in playlist strikes:
You need to score 15,000 points. You achieve this by killing enemies with a grenade launcher.
Receive 1,500 grenade launcher kills
Complete 500 grenade launcher multikills
After that, you can collect the Wendigo GL3 from Zavala. You have earned it.
This task should keep you well occupied this season. However, clever players have found out how to obtain the weapon in just a few hours.
Zavala wants more grenade launcher kills from you!
How do Guardians easily get the weapon? Some Guardians are currently easing the grind for the grenade launcher with a “cheese.” This is an “alternative” method to quickly rack up many kills for the Wendigo.
Instead of following the strike, players simply go into the Blind Well, where they encounter many enemies. The Guardians proceed as follows:
Choose a fireteam of three players
Start the Vanguard playlist
Exit and restart the playlist until you receive the strike “The Corrupted”
Do not follow the strike but go to the Blind Well in the Dreaming City
The kills for the task also count in the Blind Well.
Since the strike “The Corrupted” and the Blind Well are located in the same area, the kills seem to count in this activity as well. Whether Bungie is aware of this or if it was intended is not known.
For this task, the exotic grenade launcher Thunderlord is particularly suitable. This uses primary ammo, which is even generated by the weapon upon kills.
As a Warlock, the Lunafaction Boots are useful. With these boots, the class rifts gain the additional ability to automatically reload allies’ weapons.
In Destiny, the quest for the Truth has also started. You can read here how to obtain the exotic weapon:
After Travian Games has already parted ways with the MMORPG Shroud of the Avatar, now Crowfall is next. The developers want to take care of the distribution of the online game in Europe themselves in the future.
On the dying worlds, massive battles take place between players, including sieges.
Travian and Artcraft part ways
What did Travian Games have to do with Crowfall? In 2016, the German company Travian Games announced it had entered into a partnership with Artcraft Entertainment. Travian wanted to handle the marketing and distribution of the MMORPG Crowfall in Europe.
What has happened now? Artcraft announced that the partnership with Travian has ended. No reasons were given, but it is said to have been a decision made by mutual consent.
What does this mean for the MMORPG? Since June 13, Artcraft has been taking care of the distribution and marketing of the online game themselves. The players are likely to notice little of this. European players are now dealing with the support of the developer instead of Travian.
Why does this sound familiar? In November 2018, Portalarium and Travian announced the end of their partnership regarding the MMORPG Shroud of the Avatar. Travian also took over the distribution and support for SotA in Europe.
Players have many questions
What do the players think about this? There is already a lot of speculation about this decision in the official forum. What led to this? Some questions remain open.
Kraahk asked: “Can you tell us what this means for the localization of the game and the support for players who do not speak English?”
Belantis speculates: “Was Travian perhaps bothered by the long development time? Or did Artcraft not get enough money from Travian?”
According to Artcraft, nothing should change, as the studio has already been taking care of a lot. So this announcement apparently means no major adjustment for Crowfall fans.
The Twitch streamer TF Blade secured a victory in League of Legends with a clever suicide play. Players are currently discussing this and the “remake system” of LoL.
This is the standard practice: There is a “remake” system in League of Legends. Before a match has really started, a team can forfeit and request a “restart” without fearing any consequences. This does not count as a loss.
This is possible when a player is missing from the team who has not yet intervened in the match. The system serves as a kind of “AFK protection.”
The logic behind the remake system: It is unfair for a match to start with 4 against 5, then it is clear who will win.
The LoL streamer TF Blade.
Here was the situation: In a LoL match, the jungler of a team essentially “mis-skilled.” He took a teleport instead of smite – Smite is essential for the jungler role.
The jungler was now AFK and wanted to force a log out so that his team would only have four members left and they could utilize LoL’s “remake” system.

In the first 33 seconds of this video, you can see the streamer’s play.
This was the genius play: The streamer “TF Blade” utilized the information that the opposing team was discussing in chat that someone was AFK and they wanted to “re-make” the game.
TF Blade snuck into the opposing team’s base, where the “mis-skilled jungler” Lee Sin was still at the entry point. Here, TF Blade then threw himself at the opponent and died next to the AFK player.
This allowed him to gain experience points, and the game could no longer be “restarted.”
This is how it continued. The match was quickly finished. After 10 minutes, the team of TF Blade emerged victorious.
The opponents essentially gave up because they suspected they had no chance of turning the match around.
TF Blade was playing as Kayn.
This is being discussed: In the subreddit for LoL, this play is currently being discussed. It is being talked about controversially:
It is said that one should never tell the other team that someone is AFK – so they don’t pull such stunts
This would not be “fair play” from TF Blade
It is “a bit rude,” but very funny, says a third
In general, the remake system in League of Legends is being discussed. Some see weaknesses in it.
The second half of 2019 still holds quite a few game releases for multiplayer. We show you which games you can still look forward to in 2019.

What is Astellia? Astellia is a new MMORPG in the style of classic predecessors from the theme park genre. PvP and PvE are separated, with the focus on PvE content and players dividing into the known trinity of Tank, healer, and DD . Astellia has been around for a while in Korea and is also coming to the West in 2019.
The major unique feature of Astellia is the feature of the Astels. Astels are summoned companions who support and enhance you in battle. Up to three Astels can be summoned simultaneously. They bring different roles with abilities and effects, can level up, and be upgraded.

What is WoW Classic? WoW Classic is the “original version” of World of Warcraft, as it was at its release in 2004, or more precisely, Patch 1.12. It revives the version of the game with which it all started and which many fans still remember today.
What are the highlights? What distinguishes WoW Classic is the “classic feeling” that veterans often yearn for. It offers a vast world to explore, group activities like raids for up to 40 people, dungeons, and PvP. In comparison to “Vanilla” and some private servers, Classic also offers:
Who is WoW Classic suitable for? WoW Classic is aimed primarily at players who played WoW earlier and had stopped long before some add-ons. If you can’t find anything meaningful in Battle for Azeroth but like WoW, then Classic is for you. Also, curious players who have never played WoW and want to get a glimpse into the origins of the phenomenon should consider taking a look.

Additionally, Final Fantasy XIV is an alternative to WoW and Guild Wars 2.

Scavengers, a loot shooter developed with SpatialOS.
A shooter with unique features
What makes Scavengers so special? The developer studio Midwinter wants to give you a task at all times. There should be no downtime during missions. You always know exactly what to do or will be confronted with a fight.
Moreover, you can adapt to your environment. Over time, you will learn where locations for ambushes are and where to be most cautious. Nevertheless, chance always plays a role. Every match is supposed to be different.
The classes are important. You should aim for a balanced team of supporters, melee, and ranged fighters. Supporters, for example, can craft weapons from junk, making them very useful.
Survival plays a role because you need to keep warm and protect yourself from the weather. Those who warm up by a fire receive a buff.
It is also possible for you to team up with other teams. However, you should not necessarily trust them. When it comes to the final battle, everyone wants to be the winner.
Additionally, an invasion by the alien Scourge may occur, leading to interesting events.
When is Scavengers coming out? Currently, there is no release date for the game. However, it is supposed to be released as a free-to-play title and will be regularly expanded with more content.
In the shooter Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019), according to a media report, a dialogue line was removed even before the launch. Some fans feared censorship. The game’s Narrative Director opposes this claim: There is no censorship, and no compromises are being made.
This was the media report: On Tuesday, a report from Kotaku (via Kotaku) was published about a preview event at the E3 2019 related to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.
The author focused primarily on a scene where a Russian soldier held a girl and declared loudly that they would deliver her to his superior, who “is into young girls.”
In a scene from Modern Warfare, you play as a child.
The journalist confronted the Design Director with this statement and asked why sexual violence and pedophilia were included in the game.
He replied that Call of Duty Modern Warfare aims to depict the horrors of war.
However, the author claims that the PR team assured her afterward that this line would be removed from the game. It would no longer be present in the final game.
The PR team stated that initially, the line “He is into young girls” was meant to hint at a later development of the story – but that development would also no longer be in the campaign of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.
This is how the fans reacted: This report has caught some in the Modern Warfare community by surprise. For them, the statement from the PR team is evidence that Infinity Ward will censor itself and is not telling the horrors of war as uncompromisingly as they had announced during the reveal.
This can be followed, for example, in comments on our article on MeinMMO. A reader named pretender xxx says:
“Well, there we have it. The censorship rumors are true. They can stick their game where the sun doesn’t shine.”
After initial reactions from journalists, some feared that the public would demand censorship. Now players see themselves confirmed in this fear.
Story Chief: No Censorship, No Compromises
This is what the Narrative Director says now: Confronted with these statements, the Narrative Director of Infinity Ward, Taylor Kurosaki, takes a different tone on Twitter.
He says:
“We do not make compromises.”
“We would never censor. Those are just rumors. They are not true.”
“No censorship. Never. All we do is polish and sharpen the story to make it the best campaign you’ve ever played.”

Apex Legends currently has only one map. However, that may change soon. Dataminers have found a map on a weapon skin that hints at new areas and even more monsters.
What has the dataminer found? Dataminers have taken a closer look at a skin for a weapon. The skin “The Navigator” looked somehow strange, with its irregular lines and markings. Almost like an old map.
And indeed, the skin seems to be exactly that: When unfolded, it reveals a larger map. On it, you can see a landmass that appears to be unknown at first glance, presumably located on the planet Solace. This is the home of the legends Gibraltar and Mirage.
What can be seen on the map? If you look closely, you can see a few mountains and a crown on the southern island. That could be the current map King’s Canyon. Although it is an island in the game, perhaps the map is an earlier state of the area before it was remodeled into a battle royale arena.
However, there are many more areas around King’s Canyon. Respawn Entertainment may thus want to add a lot more.
These are the hints for more monsters: Almost more exciting than the new areas on the map are the markings for monsters. Known leviathans are already stomping in the water. They are currently roaming around the known Apex map.
Furthermore, it seems that the feared flyers known from Titanfall inhabit the northern map. The fact that these creatures are coming to Apex is considered quite certain after dataminers found voice lines related to them in the code and they were seen recently in a video teaser for Season 2.
However, new is a third type of creature that could be identified as a “Prowler.” These are tiger-like predators that also appeared in Titanfall and are considered particularly dangerous. A marking for these beasts is actually quite close to the supposed King’s Canyon.
It seems that there will soon be quite a lot of PvE action in Apex Legends.
Many MMORPG fans are currently waiting for Lost Ark. It is already playable in Korea. But the situation has since changed there. What happened?

How has the mood been so far? Those who were able to participate in the Korean beta have shown enthusiasm so far. It sparked a huge hype in Korea when the Open Beta launched in October. Lost Ark was overwhelmed.
Lost Ark plays smoothly and looks great
It offers plenty of content and interesting group activities, essentially merging the MMORPG genre with Diablo 3
You explore a vast world
The battles are action-packed yet tactical
Therefore, anticipation has been rising for a long time to finally be able to play it in Europe.
What is the current status of the MMORPG?Lost Ark is getting a major update in Korea next week, introducing new content and another continent. The developers are taking care of the game and regularly providing fans with content.
The Mood is Declining
What is the current mood? You can sense that enthusiasm is waning. Players here are getting a bit impatient because they have been waiting too long and there is no launch date.
But even internationally, the mood is declining. This is partly due to the introduction of a new feature that allows you to automatically complete raids for money.
Many players see this as a mechanic of mobile games and now believe that the developers want to cater more to mobile gamers with Lost Ark.
A feature that allows for automatic raid completion frustrates Lost Ark fans.
This is not so far-fetched, as there are rumors about a mobile version of the MMORPG and mobile games are extremely popular in Asia. So if a mobile version of Lost Ark comes out, it’s only logical that corresponding mechanics will be incorporated.
But fans are currently not pleased at all. Many had hoped for a complex, deep PC MMORPG. And now Lost Ark is increasingly turning into a mobile game.
What do the player numbers look like? A downward trend can be seen for Lost Ark.
Through the website Gamemetrics, you can see how popular games are in Korea right now.
Several months after the launch of a major MMO, this was still within the usual range, if not even above average. Lost Ark consistently ranked in the top 5. However, the losses in player numbers seem to be endless.
Now in June, it is only at position 10, with a market share of around 2%, trailing behind Maple Story, which has now overtaken it. Player numbers have almost halved within 2 months.
What do you think of Lost Ark? Do you still have interest in the MMORPG?
A similar trend is noticeable on Twitch. There are fewer and fewer streams for the game.

What are players saying? The mood on Reddit is currently not very good. Regarding the feature that automatically completes raids for money, users write:
ArcticMonkey667 says: “We are surprised because it is a PC game and not a mobile game. At least for now…”
sythalrom explains: “And that has made me lose interest in this game.”
Freakindon sarcastically says: “Who could have seen that coming?”
However, there are still players defending Lost Ark. For example, chazzstrong states: “It is an action RPG. And that is exactly how I will play it. I’m not concerned about monetization. The game looks fantastic!”
