Call of Duty: Modern Warfare with Cross-Play for PS4, Xbox One and PC – no Season Pass

After the reveal of the new Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare, more details are emerging. It is now known that there will be no Season Pass or paid DLCs. Additionally, cross-play between PC and consoles is apparently planned.

This is changing with Modern Warfare: Two of the biggest changes compared to previous installments in the series, apart from the new engine, are the lack of a Season Pass and planned cross-play between PC, Xbox One, and PS4.

No Call of Duty in recent years has skipped a Season Pass, and there has been no cross-play until now. We summarize all known information about these innovations.

The first CoD with cross-play functionality, forgoing Season Pass and paid maps

This is what we know so far about the cross-play feature: It is certain that developer Infinity Ward wants to enable cross-play on PS4, Xbox One, and PC, and it is planned for Modern Warfare. No details are available yet. Therefore, it is not known whether there will be separate modes or how it will function.

Cross-play features are increasingly being integrated into games. Fortnite is considered one of the major titles that introduced this feature. Recently, Dauntless was released, which also allows cross-play.

Modern Warfare also forgoes a Season Pass and additionally skips paid maps. Furthermore, developers promise additional free content.

This fulfills a long-standing wish of fans, as map DLCs have generally been considered expensive, and the Season Pass model has been viewed as outdated and also too costly. Overall, the pricing policy for Black Ops 4 has been criticized for a while.

This is what the developers say about the innovations:

With the launch of Modern Warfare, we are taking steps to unite the community. […], we are eliminating the traditional Season Pass so that we can deliver more free maps and also content as post-launch events for all players. This is just the beginning – more is to come.

Fans can’t believe it

This is how the community is reacting: Fans are very receptive to this news. Especially the free content is causing astonished reactions in the CoD subreddit.

  • Many can hardly believe it. One player writes on Reddit: “Free? Am I dreaming?”
  • The majority react with disbelief and find it hard to believe that Activision wants to take this path.
  • Ultimately, there were numerous discussions surrounding the last installment, Black Ops 4, regarding the questionable pricing policy for the Season Pass and in-game shop.
  • The cross-play feature is also very well received. One player writes: “Cross-play is a big win and with the free maps, the player base won’t be split.”
  • Overall, the mood around Modern Warfare is currently very euphoric.

What do you think of the innovations? Are you as excited as many other fans? If you haven’t read the announcement about Modern Warfare yet, you can catch up on it at Mein-MMO.de:

Barely there, already nerfed – How Fortnite changes the new weapon Burst SMG

In Fortnite there is a nerf for the new Burst SMG. The weapon has only been in the game since the latest patch and is already being changed. We will tell you how good it is now.

This is the weapon in question: The Burst SMG was introduced with the Patch 9.10 that was implemented on May 29. It is a burst submachine gun that always fires in 4-shot bursts.

Previously, the Burst SMG was especially strong at close range, but could also relatively quickly shoot through walls. For Epic, the weapon was probably too strong, which is why it has now been nerfed.

Nerf of the Burst SMG – What’s new

What was changed? Until now, the Burst had a damage of 25/27/28. Now the damage has been reduced to 23/24/25. Epic made this known via Twitter.

The change is quite significant. There were up to 3 points less in damage for the Burst SMG. It remains to be seen whether the weapon is still useful.

Was this nerf necessary? Many players debate this. Some fans say that the weapon was useless even before the nerf and didn’t deal much damage. Thus, the nerf made an already useless weapon even more useless.

Other players, including the famous streamer Ninja, considered the weapon to be very strong. Ninja even called the weapon meta-changing and repeatedly demonstrated in his gameplay how strong the weapon had been.

fortnite-burst-smg-titel-leak
The Burst SMG is getting a nerf

What could be the reason for the nerf? A possible reason might be the strength of the weapon against walls. Ninja demonstrated this in his stream as well. He quickly shot through the opponent’s wall and still managed to hit him, leading to an elimination.

This might have been too easy for Epic, which is why the walls are now more resistant against the Burst SMG.

What do you think about the nerf? Was it necessary?

There is some initial information about the Avenger’s Project – Some say Destiny with superheroes

At E3, we will finally learn more about the mysterious game Marvel’s Avengers, which Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics are currently working on. Now there are new hints about what we can expect.

What have previous rumors said about the game? After the announcement with a cinematic teaser in early 2017, it went quiet about the game. Square Enix basically revealed that it is a AAA title that a large team is working on. Over and over, rumors about games-as-a-service, multiplayer, and a steady stream of content have emerged.

Therefore, many assumed it would be some kind of Destiny with superheroes. So an online action game where you complete missions together with friends, search for loot, and meet and interact with other players in a hub.

Is a Destiny with superheroes coming?

What do the latest hints suggest? Now, just before E3, there is some new information about Marvel’s Avengers, which apparently is the official title of the game. An entry for the game has appeared on the E3 website. It states that it should be the ultimate gaming experience for The Avengers.

The now-deleted description stated:

“Embrace your powers and meet the developers of Crystal Dynamics and the creative team from Marvel Games as they exclusively discuss the new Marvel’s Avengers. It’s the defining Avengers gaming experience. An epic action-adventure that combines cinematic storytelling with a continuous single-player and cooperative gameplay. Hosted by Andrea Rene, you assemble teams of up to four players, master unique abilities, customize your heroes to fit your playstyle, and combine your powers to defend a constantly expanding world facing ever-present threats.”

Does this fit with “Destiny with superheroes”? The description raises quite a few questions. Destiny and single-player don’t really go together. While you can play Destiny alone, the loot shooter is designed for multiplayer.

However, the cooperative aspect suggests that the multiplayer part plays a significant role. That, in turn, already reminds more of Destiny.

Maybe we can expect a kind of Destiny that can also be played well alone and perhaps doesn’t require a group for content, but leaves it optional whether you want to play with friends. Those who play cooperatively will have their gaming experience adjusted to a group.

What else has been said? It is said that you can assemble a team of up to four players whose abilities you must master and combine.

Furthermore, the world is supposed to continuously grow and offer you new challenges. In addition, the customization of the hero plays an important role, which sounds like cosmetic items.

Avengers Project Logo

So is it not an MMO?

What does this mean? According to this statement, Marvel’s Avengers will very likely be a games-as-a-service game. The constantly growing world with new threats sounds like continuous updates.

Co-op with up to four players, however, basically excludes an MMO. Whether there might be a hub where you can meet with other players is unclear. It could therefore be some kind of “MMO-Light”.

All of this sounds already like a Destiny with superheroes, where single-player fans could also have their share.

When will we learn more? Marvel’s Avengers will be presented during Square Enix’s E3 press conference on Tuesday morning, June 11, at 03:00 AM German time.

What do the players think? On Reddit, speculation about the game is already happening. There it is noted, for example, by Plebeian Games: “According to leaks, it is a Destiny-like game. Even if it has a single-player part, we will probably always be online and constantly interacting with other players.”

Whether this is really the case will be revealed on June 11. It’s exciting.

WoW: The story behind reputation barriers in the new area Nazjatar

Those who want to experience the whole story of Nazjatar in the new patch of World of Warcraft (WoW) must farm reputation diligently.

Currently, in World of Warcraft, the upcoming Patch 8.2 Rise of Azshara is being tested on the Public Test Realms (PTR). Nazjatar will be the next major area where the story will progress.

However, even though Blizzard wanted to implement less “time-gating” this time, there will again be reputation barriers. We explain what that means.

Chapters of Nazjatar require reputation: Nazjatar and Mechagon will both be accessible from “Day 1” of Patch 8.2, but the story will unfold gradually. The main chapters of the story will not be unlocked weekly but will be tied to a specific reputation (similar to the War Campaign).

Those who want to experience “everything” about the story as quickly as possible should complete every available world quest to fill their reputation bar with the new factions as quickly as possible. Otherwise, experiencing the story quests may take longer.

WoW Nazjatar Naga
Nazjatar is surrounded by a wall of water. Many secrets can be found in the depths…

Why are there reputation limitations? In an interview with Forbes, Game Director Ion Hazzikostas emphasizes that a certain form of “gating” is necessary to adjust the speed of gameplay to the narrative as well. Hazzikostas stated:

[The reputation requirements] are not something huge like a wall, just a small regulation to make it feel like time is actually passing between “All right, we just crashed here and arrived” and “We have established a base and are taking further steps”.

We have concluded that reputation limitations are the better way to unlock [new quests] instead of fixed intervals where you say: “You have to wait until Tuesday.” This provides opportunities to speed things up.

World_of_Warcraft_Battle_for_Azeroth_Ion_Hazzikostas
Ion Hazzikostas, the Game Director of World of Warcraft.

Less time-gating than before: Basically, Blizzard wants to hide very few contents behind barriers with Patch 8.2. Only the raid and the mega dungeon Mechagon will be released slightly later, allowing players enough time to experience the story and prepare for the raid. It is, however, completely normal that raids are not available immediately upon patch release.

The entire other content, meaning essentially the complete areas of Mechagon and Nazjatar, will be directly available. There is enough to do, and especially collectors should enjoy themselves.

Nonetheless, reputation is still important: However, reputation will likely not be a big issue for most players, as there is another reason to farm it. Besides unlocking further story quests, reputation is also necessary for the meta achievement, which unlocks flying in Kul Tiras and Zandalar. This also includes the two new areas Mechagon and Nazjatar.

There is still no release date for Patch 8.2.

Do you find such reputation limits sensible and understand the arguments of the Game Director? Or is this just another form of “time-gating” that also requires ongoing gameplay performance?

These are all the new Shinys you can catch during the event

In addition to the new Shinys, you also get the chance to catch previously quite rare Shinys, such as Kleinstein, Amonitas, or Kabuto. Especially Kleinstein is likely to be a highlight for many players, because it hardly appears in the wild anymore.

This is how easy it is to level up during the event: The amount of XP you can earn is incredibly high. By using a Lucky Egg, you receive 20 times the amount of XP for each new PokéStop. Each PokéStop can earn you 4000 XP.

Apex Legends makes Season 2 better, finally brings challenges

Respawn has announced drastic changes for the second Battle Pass of Apex Legends. In the upcoming Season 2 of the shooter, much of the criticism of the first Battle Pass will be addressed. Additionally, challenges and time-limited events are to come.

What changes will be made to the Battle Pass? After the first Battle Pass of Apex Legends disappointed many players, the second Battle Pass is expected to be significantly better.

On the official website of Apex Legends, Lead Product Manager Lee Horn gave a brief overview:

  • Daily and weekly challenges are to ensure faster progress in the Battle Pass
  • Level 100 should be achievable more quickly
  • Three additional legendary skins will be available
  • Three new categories will replace the badges and stat trackers
  • There will be enough crafting materials in the rewards to craft any legendary item

This will likely eliminate three of the biggest criticisms of the Battle Pass:

Additionally, a time-limited event will be available in Apex Legends, for which some information has already been revealed.

apex-battle-pass-titel-01
Will the second Battle Pass perform better than the one from Season 1?

When do Season 2 and the Battle Pass release? When exactly the Battle Pass will be released has not yet been disclosed. However, on June 7, 2019, more information will be shared.

The new information will be available during the “EA Play” stream shortly before the official press conferences of the E3 2019.

The changes to the Battle Pass in detail

What kind of challenges will there be? That challenges will be possible has been previously discovered by data miners and confirmed by the developers.

Although they do not want crazy challenges like competitor Fortnite, there will be some.

The challenges will come in the form of daily and weekly challenges. The weekly challenges will accumulate. So if you don’t complete everything in one week, you can continue in the next week without losing anything.

How exactly the challenges will look has not yet been stated. They are not supposed to “drastically change” the gameplay but will provide “interesting variation from game to game”.

Here’s how the new skins will be available: The legendary items in the Battle Pass will be available every 25 levels, starting from level 1 of the Battle Pass, specifically on levels 1, 25, 50, 75, and 100.

The skin at level 100 will be a developing skin, like the Havoc from Season 1, with a color variant at level 110.

If none of the new items are appealing, players can accumulate enough crafting materials throughout the duration of the Battle Pass to craft any Legendary skin.

What replaces the badges? Instead of badges and stat trackers for your banner, Season 2 will see three new content categories introduced. Which these will be will be revealed closer to the start of Season 2.

However, at least one badge is still expected to exist for Season 2. This will evolve throughout the season rather than occupying reward slots like in Season 1.

Boring rewards are to be replaced.

This is the event “The Legendary Hunt”

In addition to the Battle Pass, Respawn announced a new event named “The Hunt.” This will likely conclude Season 1.

What kind of event is this? The event consists of several features:

  • Apex Elite Queue – Players who finish a match in the top 5 can join the “Elite Queue.” There, you play against the “best” and must finish in the top 5 again to continue playing.
  • Legendary Hunt Challenges – Complete challenges to earn rare, epic, or legendary skins, such as the epic “Master of the Hunt” skin in the title image
  • Double XP – From Friday, June 7 to Monday, June 10, players will receive double experience points for leveling up and the Battle Pass
  • Bonus XP – A placement in the top 5 grants bonus experience points for the Battle Pass (once daily)

Additionally, exclusive skins will rotate in the shop and be available for purchase.

Apex-Legends-Champions
Performing well pays off.

These are the rewards: Owners of the Battle Pass receive some additional rewards. Those who purchased the Battle Pass will receive the “Legendary Honored Pray” skin for the R-301. Anyone who plays at least until level 15 of the Battle Pass before the end of the event will receive the “Night Terror” skin for Wraith.

Apex Legends Legendary Night Terror Wraith and Legendary R 301 skin

When does the event start? The event is set to begin next Tuesday, June 4, 2019. It is expected to last two weeks.

What do you think of the changes so far?

Apex Legends is not only working on the Battle Pass but also on the cheater problem:

Anthem finally reveals what the Cataclysm is and how to fix loot

The developers of Anthem have finally revealed the details about the Cataclysm. The 8-week event should be playable soon.

Fans of Anthem have been eagerly waiting for new information about the game’s future for several weeks. The developers remained silent for a long time. The website even announced the update “Cataclysm” for May, although it is clear that this cannot be kept anymore.

Now BioWare has finally broken the long silence and revealed in a live stream on May 30th what the Cataclysm update will be.

Cataclysm is set to expand the world

What is the Cataclysm? The Cataclysm is an event that spans a total of 8 weeks and will then be over for now. The first two weeks serve mainly for preparation and should be understood more as a “pre-event” that gradually introduces the change.

Anthem-Roadmap

During the main part of the event (i.e., the remaining 6 weeks), players can engage in some activities that are reminiscent of an arcade game:

  • It was revealed that the Freelancers have a certain amount of time to defeat enemies.
  • The remaining time can be extended by defeating enough enemies in time, so there is still enough time left to kill a big boss at the end.

The whole thing takes place in a completely new zone, thus expanding the game world of Anthem.

New weapon types and story missions coming to Anthem

New story and cutscenes: In addition to the pure gameplay, the story of Anthem will be further developed in three new story missions. These will also feature new cutscenes and dialogues, so that story fans can also enjoy Cataclysm.

Anthem-Interceptor-Rennt

New loot for the Freelancers: The new content primarily attracts players with new loot and Anthem really shines here. There are not only new weapon types but also a completely new equipment slot. This allows Freelancers to select equipment for the “melee” slot

However, it should be noted that this slot only affects the abilities or armament of the Freelancers and players are not actually provided with new “melee skills”.

A new vendor in Fort Tarsis sells additional loot for new currency, with a changing offer.

Basically, the new equipment is supposed to be a bit better than what can be found in the game so far, even if the developers are still searching for the “right way” to implement this.

Anthem Loot Announcement Owen

Maximum luck for all is supposed to bring more loot

This is how Anthem wants to improve loot: The loot in Anthem has always been a difficult topic. Players feel under-rewarded and receive too few good items. This is supposed to change with a simple trick. The “luck” value will be completely eliminated.

Instead, the game will simply assume that players have the maximum value of luck that is currently achievable. This should ensure that significantly more and noticeably better items are dropped for most characters.

The test server with the Cataclysm event is supposed to start next week – at least for players on PC.

What do you think of the Cataclysm and the elimination of luck? Are these good and correct steps? Or is it all coming too late for Anthem?

With Modern Warfare, Call of Duty receives a new engine after 14 years

For the first time in a long time, the “Call of Duty” series is getting a brand new engine with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. This will likely serve as the basis for future series installments.

On May 30, Activision and Infinity Ward officially announced and presented the new Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. The 2019 installment taps into one of Call of Duty’s most popular series with a contemporary setting, much to the delight of many fans.

This should please many fans: There is also another piece of news that is likely to bring joy, which accompanied the reveal of Modern Warfare 2019.

Many players have been complaining for years about the outdated graphics and technology of the Call of Duty series, which has only been modified for 14 years. However, that is likely to change now. With Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, the series is getting a brand new engine for the first time since Call of Duty 2 from 2005.

What we know about the new engine of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare

What kind of impression does the new engine make? Press representatives who have already had a chance to take a look at the new Modern Warfare and thus the new engine all talk about a noticeable upgrade in graphics. The game looks incredible, even on a PS4.

According to initial statements, it includes among others

  • better animations,
  • more beautiful light and particle effects like floating smoke and dust
  • rich detail
  • as well as realistic graphics

that catch the eye.

Call of Duty Modern Warfare Trailer Screenshot 3

What can the new engine do in detail? The exact name of the engine is not known. However, according to Infinity Ward, it is supposed to offer an immersive and photorealistic experience.

Among other things, a new rendering system for objects and materials called photogrammetry is being used. This is a technique that transfers images from real environments into 3D models, thus ensuring photorealistic appearance.

Furthermore, the new engine includes among others:

  • a new PBR decal rendering system
  • a global, volumetric lighting system that correctly shines light through windows or even through smoke
  • 4K and HDR for better visuals
  • DirectX Raytracing (for PC) – the new hype technique in the graphics area. This impressively renders floating smoke or dust particles
  • a new GPU geometry pipeline for more detailed environments
  • spectral rendering for realistic night vision and thermal effects
  • new animation system for realistic character movements
  • new audio tools – gunshots in tunnels sound significantly different than in open terrain. Dolby ATMOS is also supported on compatible systems
  • and more
Call of Duty Modern Warfare Trailer Screenshot 5

By the way: The PC version is supposed to be fully optimized for this platform and is being developed by Beenox. Therefore, fans should get much more than just a console port.

That’s why the new engine will be important for the Call of Duty series: The engine will likely play an important role for the entire “Call of Duty” franchise.

As Eurogamer reports, Infinity Ward will share this engine with other Call of Duty studios such as Sledgehammer Games or Raven Software. The new engine of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare will then serve as the foundation for future Call of Duty installments.

Destiny 2 presents a new chapter even before E3 – Reveal next week

The big announcement about the future of Destiny 2 is coming faster than some might have thought. Next week, Bungie plans to break the silence about Year 3.

What happens next with Destiny 2 after Season 7? This is a question that is likely on the minds of many Destiny fans. For the first time, Bungie will need to deliver its own content without the help of the publisher and additional studios after the split from Activision.

Since the end of 2018, Bungie has communicated plans only up to August 2019 – that is, until the end of Season 7, which will begin in a few days on June 4. What will happen thereafter remains unknown to the fans. So far, there have only been speculations, presumed leaks, and estimates.

Finally, last week there was some movement in the matter: A few days ago, the studio announced that it will soon announce a new era of Destiny 2. Community Manager DeeJ stated: “Once Season 7 has started and the raid belts have been distributed, we will look deeper into the future and share more about Bungie’s new era and Destiny 2.”

Fans speculated that Bungie might discuss new content for Destiny 2 at the E3 fair in 2019 (starting June 11) or at Guardian-Con (starting July 5). But it seems that will happen even sooner.

On this day, we will learn more about Year 3 of Destiny 2: As Bungie announced in a tweet and in the latest “This Week at Bungie” blog, a major announcement regarding the future of Destiny 2 will be made next week.

He was already present at an exclusive event in Los Angeles ahead of today’s reveal and had a chance to take a look at the game.

We therefore recommend this article from GameStar, which gives you even more details and first impressions: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare – A shooter that wants to hurt

The Singleplayer in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare

After the current “Call of Duty” installment Black Ops 4 did not include a campaign, the new Modern Warfare will feature a classic single-player campaign.

The campaign is said to shock the world public and be very controversial. It is likely to rely heavily on “disturbing, emotionally realistic moments,” as reported by Kotaku. The campaign is said to be strongly inspired by the well-known and controversial mission “No Russian” from Modern Warfare 2, where terrorists commit a massacre at an airport.

It’s about: As a member of various military special forces, it is against global threats – including a renegade Russian general and his minions as well as a terrorist militia from the Middle East. During the operations, you will have access to a rich arsenal of currently standard weapons.

GameStar was already able to play a few missions. Among them was a bombing attack on London’s Piccadilly Circus.

The scenes are said to be unsettling, with terrorists firing wildly into larger crowds. You are said to build an emotional connection to the characters.

The Setting in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare

This time it’s different: The 2019 Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is a reboot of the popular Modern Warfare series. Specifically, this means: The storyline from Modern Warfare 1 to 3 has not taken place in the new Modern Warfare!

And this remains the same: Only the modern military setting in the present remains. However, throughout the game, players are supposed to encounter well-known characters from the previous Modern Warfare series and fight alongside them – for example, the iconic Captain Price from the British S.A.S. A series favorite.

Call-of-Duty-Modern-Warfare-Zigarre

How does the new Call of Duty look? GameStar describes during their visit a noticeable upgrade in graphics. Better animations, lighting, and particle effects are said to make for a more beautiful Call of Duty. And through photogrammetry, it appears more realistic. This is a technique that transfers images from real environments into 3D models.

The PC version also benefits from ray tracing, the new hype technology in graphics. This would make floating smoke and dust look particularly impressive.

And the Multiplayer in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare?

Aside from the statement from Activision CEO Rob Kostich that the new Modern Warfare will have a massive and expandable multiplayer world as well as fun Co-op gameplay, there is currently nothing further known about the multiplayer part. More details are expected to follow here.

One piece of news that is also interesting for multiplayer: The new Modern Warfare will have a character editor where you can customize your soldier.

The cool part: Everything you unlock in Modern Warfare – whether weapons or outfits – can be used across all areas of the game.

Holographic Tomato Head – Location – Week 4

Where should you search? You can find the tomato head at Mega Mall. The head is located in grid field H6.

Since the head is floating in the air, you must first build up there with materials. With a platform inside the hologram, you can then dance there easily. Stage 1 of the task is thus completed.

Holographic Durrr Burger Head – Location – Week 4

Where should you search? You can find the Durrr Burger head in Neo Tilted. The location is on the border of grid fields D5/D6.

Fortnite Durrr Burger Holo Location

This head is not completely floating in the air, but is on a small tower. Build up there or land directly on the top to dance inside the head. After that, you can proceed with the last part of the task and travel south for that.

Giant Dumpling Head Location – Week 4

Where should you search? You can find the giant dumpling head in Fortnite at Lucky Landing. You will find it in grid field F10.

This giant dumpling rotates on the roof of a building around its own axis. This time, you do not need to “go into” the head, but dance on top of it. So build high enough up, jump onto the dumpling, and perform your dance moves.

Microsoft brings Xbox Game Pass to PC – more than 100 games as a flat rate

Xbox game fans might soon experience this on PC. The Xbox Game Pass is set to come to PC, with some minor changes. The pass will allow users to play over 100 games for a fixed price.

In the run-up to E3 2019, some announcements regarding games and various services will be released, which gamers can look forward to soon.

The company Microsoft has suddenly discovered its love for PC gamers and wants to be more open in general.

A goodie that Microsoft is distributing is the “Xbox Game Pass,” which will soon also be available on PC.

Xbox Game Pass is “Flat-rate Gaming”

What is the Xbox Game Pass? With the Xbox Game Pass, you subscribe, which means you pay a monthly fee. In return, you have a large game library to choose from and can play the included games without restrictions as long as you maintain the subscription.

This is referred to as a “flat-rate” offering because the price remains the same regardless of how intensively you use the subscription.

What games are available? The exact games that will be available are not known yet. However, it is clear that publishers like Bethesda, Sega, Paradox, Devolver, and Deep Silver will participate in the program.

Overall, the Xbox Game Pass on PC is expected to launch with “more than 100 high-quality PC games from over 75 content partners.”

It is clear that Microsoft’s own games will definitely be included in the pass and will be available at the release of each game.

More information about the game offerings will be available at E3 next week.

Sea of Thieves Kraken

On the Xbox One, the “Xbox Game Pass” includes games like Minecraft, The Banner Saga, Wolfenstein 2, Monster Hunter World, Fallout 4, Black Desert, Gears of War 4, Sea of Thieves, Halo 5: Guardians, PUBG, ARK Survival Evolved, and many more.

Name causes confusion: Although the offer is called “Xbox Game Pass,” the PC variant is primarily about PC games, which has already caused some confusion.

The Game Pass is specifically aimed at the needs of PC gamers and the associated developers.

Microsoft opens up to Steam: It has also been announced that Microsoft plans to offer more of its games on Steam in the future. Players should have the choice of where to buy their games, Microsoft states.

So far, many games were only available through their in-house shop, which has not been widely accepted by many gamers.

Are you already excited about the Xbox Game Pass? Or do such “subscription models” for gaming not work for you?

Now you can play “Super Smash Bros.” in Overwatch

A big fan of Super Smash Bros. has now created an Overwatch mode that lets you play Nintendo’s brawler – just with the Overwatch heroes.

The Overwatch workshop has been available in the live version of Blizzard’s hero shooter for a few days now, and more and more cool modes are being created by fans.

After a “Sparta” mode, there’s now another highlight that is already extremely popular among players: Super Smashwatch. It’s essentially an adaptation of Nintendo’s hero brawler “Super Smash Bros.” and has surprisingly adopted many features from the original.

Increasing percentages for strong knockbacks: As in real Smash Bros, each character is assigned a percentage that dictates how far the character is knocked back when hit. Once a character can no longer hold on to the platform (i.e., “flies off the screen”), they lose one of three lives.

The controls are adapted to a 2D environment. With the WASD keys, you can only change your orientation and either move forward or backward. Depending on the character, you have different weapons and abilities to attack your opponents, as you can see in the trailer above.

Overwatch Reinhardt

Double jump and block: Other elements from Smash have also been adopted. Characters can activate a shield that blocks damage for a few seconds, preventing the percentage from rising. They can also perform a double jump to reach higher positions or save themselves on a platform.

Here’s how you can play Super Smashwatch: To try out the mode yourself, you just need to enter the game code in the Overwatch workshop. The code is “VZ4YG”. Then you can start playing and toss each other off the platforms.

What do you think of this workshop mode? A cool thing that everyone should definitely check out?

Anthem: Update causes longer loading times in matchmaking – Here’s why it happens

There was good news for Anthem yesterday, a patch was released. However, the update changed the matchmaking, and now players are complaining that the change is to their disadvantage. There is certainty in this: Anthem does not have a slot at EA Play, the “just before E3-2019” appearance of Electronic Arts.

This is how the change was intended to work: The latest update yesterday changed how matchmaking in Anthem operates, specifically how groups are formed for activities.

In the response section from EA, it states: Players may have to wait longer for certain activities to start.

However, the change was supposed to increase the chances that players can start a game together instead of being thrown into an empty match.

Therefore, BioWare increased the time in which players can fill missions and strongholds with the update. (via answers.com)

anthem-colossus-face

Solo GM3 no longer possible

This is how it comes to practice: A player on reddit says that certain, rarely visited activities are now unable to start at all. They want to play a stronghold at Grand Master 3 level and get stuck on an endless loading screen because apparently no one else wants to join.

Previously, they could play the stronghold alone after a while and hope that eventually, another freelancer would join. That person would then see the progress they had made alone and would stay. At the end of a round, they often would have a full group after a short solo game.

This is no longer possible.

anthem-ranger-wallpaper

They believe that people will now sign up and after 2 minutes of “waiting” simply quit because nothing is happening. Thus, no GM3 strongholds will form for them.

In the comments, several other players agree with the freelancer – they have noticed the problem with other activities as well, such as legendary contracts.

There had already been difficulties lately because the matchmaking of Anthem is based on a large player base, which apparently is no longer given.

Anthem apparently lacks the players to fulfill the “matchmaking for everything” promise
von Micha Deckert

What is it with EA Play? Until the last moment, players had hoped that BioWare would present how things would continue with Anthem at EA Play 2019 on Saturday, June 8. Perhaps outline the important event “Cataclysm,” but that won’t happen.

Anthem does not have a slot at EA Play – that slot belongs to games like Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order, Apex Legends, and Battlefield V.

This likely means that Anthem will not play a role at E3 2019.

Veterans are upset: Only Twitch streamers are allowed in the beta of WoW Classic

WoW Classic is apparently very popular, and the beta has even triggered a new hype. However, only a limited number of players are allowed to play already. Some active WoW players and veterans are displeased with the seemingly targeted selection.

This is why veterans are angry: Those who watch the “World of Warcraft” category on Twitch will increasingly find streamers playing the WoW Classic beta in recent days. And for good reason: It garners a lot of viewers.

With the launch of the beta, WoW has slipped to number 1 in the most popular games on Twitch, at least for a brief period. Many active players are now frustrated that streamers seemingly have privileges and are chosen preferentially for beta tests.

For them, it is a blow when streamers are invited to play, while they as loyal players can only watch, often with the argument that they have been paying diligently for many years.

User Shinkaruk even wrote a long post in the forum titled: “Ladies and Gentlemen, your beta testers are here.” However, the thread has since been edited to simply say: “Spread love, not hate.”

WoW Classic Thread in the forum player is annoyed with streamer
On the right, the original post. Image source: TheQuartering.

What is their criticism? In his original post, Shinkaruk specifically addressed the streamers. He even gave an assessment of whether the streamers were “qualified.” Among them were well-known names like xQc, who normally streams Overwatch, Asmongold, Sodapoppin, and Pokimane.

Criticism of the world’s largest WoW streamer Asmongold is that while he has been streaming WoW for years, he is toxic, very narrow-minded, and “brainwashed by his girlfriend.” Recently, Asmongold was able to gain a large following through streaming WoW Classic.

Shinkaruk also has some words for Pokimane. The well-known streamer has never played WoW and has only received preferential treatment from Blizzard for promotional reasons. In fact, she was trolled by WoW veterans during her stream.

Streamer as Testers in WoW Classic – Why?

This is what streamers contribute: YouTuber TheQuartering addresses this very thread and takes a closer look at the “salt.” He provides some arguments regarding what beta access benefits streamers:

  • Investing in streamers is investing in the game. This allows advertising to be done without using larger resources.
  • Known figures like Asmongold already have a solid WoW community. Therefore, former classic players can be excited about Classic.
  • Pokimane targets a completely different audience and had nothing to do with WoW before. This can activate new players for Classic.

He himself has also received access and uses it to test. That is ultimately the purpose of the beta, even if times have changed and a beta phase is now also used for the marketing of the game. Nevertheless, there is no preferential treatment:

There seemed to be some kind of notion that there are roses and butlers in suits that come to you and hand you a sealed envelope with the beta invitation. I don’t know if these people [streamers] received something like that. But for me, it was just a generic email.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVgMBqj6CCI

This is why it makes sense: TheQuartering goes even further and describes why it is sensible for both Blizzard and players to mobilize the communities of large streamers.

On one hand, it helps in discovering bugs. A large streamer like Asmongold has many veterans in his chat who can spot bugs while watching and report them through him. This helps with quality assurance.

von Cortyn

On the other hand, it helps to simply create a player base, which is essential for an MMORPG:

Don’t you want a thriving community? Don’t you want tons of players around you to form guilds? I want new players in the game, and I want old players back.

TheQuartering on YouTube

Finally, TheQuartering points out that he doubts no veteran was invited. Among the large number of beta testers, streamers are just a small but present part. WoW Classic is also set to launch in three months. He and users in the stream believe that it is an acceptable time to wait.

What do you think about it?

Other streamers are even reportedly turning down a lot of money just to play Classic:

The Division 2: Servers will go offline today for a small patch that resolves a major issue

Today, on May 31st, The Division 2 will undergo maintenance for about 3 hours. While the servers are offline, some bug fixes will be applied. Here are the patch notes for the update on Friday, May 31st.

When will the servers be online? The maintenance will take place at the usual times and will last about 3 hours. The servers will thus be unavailable from approximately 9:30 to 12:30.

During this time, a server-side patch will be applied to fix some issues. This includes an annoying bug that could make players nearly indestructible in normalized PvP.

Update, May 31, 12:50: The servers are back online as scheduled, as reported by Massive on Twitter.

The Patch Notes – Armor Bug, Loot Cave, AI Behavior

This will be fixed tomorrow:

  • Secret Missions: A bug will be fixed where players could end up on an empty map when joining a group through the player search for Secret Missions.
  • Loot Cave: The exploit through the loot cave is likely to be definitively fixed this time. With the last unscheduled maintenance, farming was already made more difficult. However, it was still possible to collect endless loot relatively easily. What changes this time remains to be seen.
  • NPC Behavior: Fixes the overly aggressive behavior of enemy AI.
  • Armor Bug: It is now no longer possible to exploit in normalized PvP areas (Dark Zone and Conflict).

You can also find the official patch notes in the Subreddit for The Division 2.

What is the Armor Bug about? By exploiting a bug, players can currently become nearly indestructible in PvP. This bug is related to a miscalculation of the normalized (adjusted) values.

One of the many cool graffiti in The Division 2.

Normalization only exists in the normal Dark Zone and the PvP area Conflict, which is why this bug fortunately could not affect other areas and activities. Nevertheless, it has disrupted the PvP experience for many players.

Next week, Title Update 3.1 is also coming, which is supposed to fix more annoying issues:
