Destiny: Trials of Osiris start on 6.11. – Rewards, Map, and Tips

In the MMO shooter Destiny, the Trials of Osiris started on Friday, November 6th.

The Trials of Osiris are taking place this week on the map Exodus Blue. This had long been a PlayStation-exclusive map. This is the first time that the Trials are taking place there. There is no pre-made guide for it yet.

820,000 attempted it last week, with almost one in six players managing to reach Mercury somehow. We already presented the rewards last week: It’s mainly about completing the bounty quests to receive reward packages from Brother Vance.

Brother-Vance-Destiny

What rewards are available this week?

With 5 and 7 wins, there are also special rewards, a piece of armor for 5 wins and a weapon for 7. Last week, there were boots for 5 wins and a scout rifle for 7.

According to early reports, this week there is a helmet for 5 wins and a sniper rifle for 7 wins.

The Trials of Osiris started at 7:00 PM on Friday and will last until the weekly reset on Tuesday at 10:00 AM.

Was extremely popular last week …

For those who need tips on how to get to Mercury.

  • Teamwork is important, always revive your teammates.
  • Communication is key; it’s best to give important points easily identifiable names so everyone knows what is meant by “that left tunnel” or “the corridor! The corridor! I’m down in the corridor!”.
  • One favorite tactic has proven to be “flanking,” while two players with long-range weapons (like Empty Look) try to hold an important junction, the third player with a close-range weapon bypasses the enemies and attacks brutally from the side.
  • Buffs can also be unlocked on the pass itself, but this needs to happen before the first match.
  • And for those who want to check what class, armor, or weapon is trending, it’s best to look at our special.

Good luck, Guardians, may the luck of the battle be with you.

Star Wars Battlefront: New gameplay featuring Han, Leia, Palpatine, and Endor

The online shooter Star Wars Battlefront is about to be released. New footage has emerged that presents heroes and locations that have not been shown before.

New footage of Star Wars Battlefront is circulating on the internet. It shows gameplay on Endor for the first time. Previously, we saw mainly content from the alpha, which most people are already familiar with.

For the first time, we get to see the “new” heroes like Boba Fett, Leia, or Emperor Palpatine in action. Hero characters are said to play a key role in Star Wars Battlefront.

Switching publishers from PC MMORPGs to mobile – NCSoft establishes West Studio

More and more established Korean publishers of PC MMORPGs are setting their sights on the mobile sector.

In South Korea, the future belongs to mobile gaming, and more and more publishers seem to believe this. Some have already removed “classic PC MMORPGs” from their portfolio to withdraw from the PC market and focus on mobile games.

Thus, some titles that have just been released or are still in beta here in the West suddenly find themselves without a home market: Like Echo of Soul or Devilian.

Echo of Soul Class Overview

The Korean MMO giant NCSoft (known here as the publisher of Aion, WildStar, and Guild Wars 2) sees this trend and is getting actively involved, looking to benefit from the Western market, generally has its eyes on the West.

In the USA, in California, a large “Mobile Studio” has now been established and named “Iron Tiger.” 100 people are supposed to work there, with hiring occurring gradually in 2016. 3 development teams are to develop new mobile titles there, based on existing NCSoft brands. A mobile publishing group will also find its place there.

The studio is located in San Mateo, between Silicon Valley and San Francisco. From this location, NCSoft hopes to recruit excellent talent.

Lineage Eternal is considered NCSoft’s largest and most important mobile project.

Black Desert: The Close Combat Hunter – Awakening Weapon of the Ranger Revealed!

Black Desert lets players see the cards and publishes images of the Ranger’s Awakening weapon.

Once Melee Hunter, please

In the Korean version of Black Desert, a new update has recently been deployed, which introduced the Awakening weapon for the Warrior among other features. Next, the developers plan to address the Giant and the Sorceress, but now a developer has already revealed the plans for the next upcoming update.

The Ranger also receives an Awakening weapon that completely changes the playstyle. Until now, the class mainly relied on a bow and had to drag enemies around while bombarding them with wild shots – but now they reach for the sword!

Since the Ranger is already quite powerful at range, taking away one of their greatest weaknesses with the sword and dagger is a significant change. There are already some concerns regarding the balance, but we will have to wait and see how this brave melee hunter ultimately plays.


More about the game, the different classes, and a direct comparison with Blade & Soul can be found on our Black Desert topic page.

TERA: New brawler class coming in December – will it come to us too?

TERA is soon getting new additions with the Brawler class – but when will it come to Germany?

The Lady with the Big Fists

En Masse has announced that the Brawler will appear with the next major update in December – at least in the American version of the game. The powerful class can only be represented by female humans, which is sure to cause a lot of discussion in our region.

A small trailer is already introducing the lady and shows how she slams her enemies into the ground with powerful punches – she resembles VI from League of Legends more than just a little.

Until the (or rather, the) Brawler appears in Europe, it will probably take a bit longer, as there have already been delays with the current Patch 36. It is now set to release on November 19th and bring the new starting area. However, Gameforge assures that they are already working on Patch 37 (with the Brawler and the new dungeons) at the same time.

In Korea, these changes had already appeared in the summer.

Cool, interactive website for Star Wars: Battlefront launched

Electronic Arts is heating up players with a new interactive website for the upcoming online shooter Star Wars: Battlefront.

Most game websites are often similar and dull in design. You click through various categories and read information, view images, and watch videos. Not so on the new website for Star Wars: Battlefront.

Rides over planets of the Star Wars universe

When you visit the site, you can choose which planet you want to explore. The options are Endor, Hoth, Sullust, and Tatooine. If you click on one of the planets, a fast-paced ride over its surface follows. While the Star Wars battle rages around you and the Empire clashes with the Rebels, the action pauses at predefined locations. There, interesting objects, characters, vehicles, weapons, and more are shown to you. You can now click on these objects to receive detailed information and learn more about them.

If an imperial AT-ST comes into view on Endor and fires at the Rebels hiding among the trees, you can click on it and learn about this vehicle. You can also repeatedly view background information about the making of the game, often accompanied by extra videos.

Here is the interactive “Planet Experience” website for Star Wars Battlefront.

The wait is almost over!

The interactive website for the online shooter Star Wars: Battlefront showcases the fantastic graphics – albeit slightly compressed – during the rides over the planets, already making players eager for the multiplayer game coming on November 19 for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. Xbox One owners can actually start playing as early as November 12, but only for 10 hours. Whether Star Wars: Battlefront will truly be the brilliant online game that Electronic Arts and fans hope for will be seen at release.

BlizzCon 2015: Here are the highlights!

That would also fit perfectly with the upcoming movie, as what could be better than reliving the battles fought right after the film on your home computer?

We will cover BlizzCon and keep you updated – be warned, the weekend will be very “blizzardy” on our side. Complain now and save it for later.

The BlizzCon 2015 is just around the corner and has many exciting new features in store – we take a look at the possible highlights.

World of Warcraft: Legion

Friday: World and Content Overview 9:30 PM – 11:00 PM | Saturday: Game Systems 9:30 PM – 11:00 PM, Q&A 11:30 PM to 12:30 AM 

The fans have high expectations for the upcoming expansion of World of Warcraft. Legion is supposed to bring fresh wind to Azeroth and especially to bring back some players who felt let down by Warlords of Draenor. Both the isolating garrison and the somewhat confusing time travel storyline for all non-lore freaks, caused severe criticism and drove many players away from the MMO giant.

WoW Legion Wallpaper small

With Legion, fans are now given much of what has been demanded for almost a decade: A conflict with the all-encompassing enemy of Azeroth, familiar characters like Illidan, and also progress in the storyline involving Sylvanas and the Forsaken. The Demon Hunter class is lore-exclusive to Night Elves and Blood Elves, but should be able to offer new gameplay fun through interesting mechanics.

But much is still uncertain, and BlizzCon is the perfect time to clarify and show more from the Broken Isles, the setting of the expansion. By the way, today a rough release date for World of Warcraft: Legion has been revealed.

Warcraft: The Beginning

One absolute highlight will be the release of the first official Warcraft movie trailer. After a 15-second teaser was already released in recent days, it now comes with the full trailer. The fan community is divided, as expectations are as high as fears, since movie adaptations of video games have almost always been a disaster.

Duncan Jones, the director, has already given reassurance in advance. “I am one of you. I wouldn’t forgive myself if I mess this up.” – Now the proof will come.

Hearthstone

Friday: What’s Next 12:30 AM – 1:30 AM | Saturday: Fireside Chat 7:00 PM – 8:00 PM

The most successful digital card game in history teased this week with Card Chaos already a Co-Op mode. Whether this was just a one-time thing and was meant to mislead fans will probably be revealed over the weekend. Many players hope to finally team up with friends against bosses or possibly other players, as was the case in the offline version of the card game.

HearthStone Grand Torunament

The release of the large tournament was already some months ago, and it is time to announce the next adventure – along with exciting new cards that can shake up the slowly stagnating meta.
At the same time, Blizzard has to consider how they want to handle Hearthstone in the future. Certain “catch-up” mechanics will be necessary, as new players face a very expensive challenge that does not make it easy to get into the game.

Heroes of the Storm

There is still relatively little to say about the concrete plans for Heroes of the Storm. The developers have barely shown their cards in recent weeks, but it seems certain that at least some new heroes will be announced. If one believes a rather dubious email, then a total of 4 heroes and 2 new maps will be announced – this would roughly match the output of the last BlizzCon.

Hots Artanis Warrior
Since the last hero, Artanis, it has been quiet around Heroes of the Storm.

Which heroes those are remains completely unknown at this point. However, details have been circulating in the game data for months that suggest Zul’jin, Azshara, or Lady Vashj – whether these ideas have since been discarded or are now on the way will hopefully be revealed over the coming weekend.

Overwatch

Friday: What’s New 1:45 AM – 2:45 AM | Saturday: The World of Overwatch 8:30 PM – 9:30 PM

The beta of Overwatch is in full swing, but so far only a few players have been allowed in, mainly members of the press and larger streamers. Interest in the game is huge, and consequently, it is expected that some new features will be announced at BlizzCon. In recent days, Blizzard has already announced two more characters, D.Va and Mei, through some teasers; they may be presented at the convention or even already be playable.

Overwatch DVa
D.Va – Favorite character INC.

Additional announcements could include new maps or further game modes. Also interesting would be statements regarding the payment model of the game and concrete hints on how progress should take place in the game – rewards from the data have already been read out, but there is still no sign of those systems.

A release date for the shooter would also be possible, but since the beta has just started, I consider a firm statement in that regard to be very unlikely. A certain game retailer has already leaked the announcement for consoles and there is also a limited release window for Overwatch that has appeared due to another leak.

Diablo 3 and StarCraft II

Diablo 3 and StarCraft II will likely be the “black sheep” of this BlizzCon, as no major announcements are expected here. Both games will have only a few panels at the convention, and these mostly compete with significantly more exciting competitors – so no one should expect any big revelations.

Starcraft 2 Legacy of the void

That’s not surprising, after all, the latest expansion of the strategy title is due, and practically everything is known about “Legacy of the Void”. Nevertheless, various panels will discuss a bit about the professional scene and show what plans they have for the future of competitive play.

For Diablo 3, they want to unveil some “news” – while this doesn’t sound like a long-desired new expansion, at least some new items or further adjustments to the game mechanics will likely be coming to the hungry players looking for fresh content.

No Big Surprise?

In summary, one might think that BlizzCon 2015 will not contain any big surprises, but I’m not so sure about that. Some voices speak of “at least one thing that hardly anyone expects” – this could, for example, be the remake of the old Warcraft games.

A remake of the old games is desired not only by veterans, but also newcomers want to experience the original games.

Overwatch: Release date for PC, PS4, and Xbox One now known thanks to leak

Blizzard’s hero shooter Overwatch is really coming to consoles, and a rough release date is now known.

Blizzard is somehow not having a good run right now. Yesterday, stores in the USA already accepted pre-orders for Overwatch on consoles – even though console versions for PS4 and Xbox One had not been announced until then. Now, images from Battle.net pages have surfaced, which apparently went live too early and reveal the rough release dates.

In addition to a leak regarding World of Warcraft, there is also one for Overwatch. Here, a pre-order page has also gone live.

Overwatch-Date

There, in addition to the “PC version”, versions for Xbox One and PlayStation 4 can also be seen. Furthermore, the fine print includes the “expected release date” for Overwatch. It’s “June 21 or earlier” – which means: Overwatch is supposed to be released in spring 2016.

Pre-orders will reportedly receive a skin for the beloved killer gnome Widowmaker.

My-MMO asks: Which big betas did you participate in 2015?

2015 is the year of many great betas – but which ones did you play and where did you get stuck?

The Fall of Betas

Another Friday is here and the week has finally come to a close. And what do we love to do on the weekends? Right, gaming! Currently, there is a bit of a lack of promising new releases (aside from Heart of Thorns), but beta tests are popping up everywhere.

Whether it’s big titles in the MMO sector, like Black Desert and Blade & Soul or the cute Dragomon Hunter. But also on the action front, there’s a lot to test with Overwatch and Battleborn . And millions of players recently checked out the beta version of Star Wars Battlefront. It’s time for us to bug you with our question again: Which beta are you currently playing and which one has excited you?

Black Desert looks good - but does it lure you in?
Black Desert looks good – but does it lure you in?

Cortyn says: This is one “Mein-MMO asks” to which I have a rather negative stance. Many of the current beta games simply do not interest me because they take the madness of the so-called “founder packages” to the extreme. Simply based on appearance, I wanted to give Blade & Soul and Black Desert a chance, but such sales strategies still deter me a bit. Maybe I’m just too old-fashioned in this regard, but a founder package for a game that has long been released in other countries makes me frown in doubt.

Cortyn is waiting for an email from the luck messenger - someone urgently wants into the beta.
Many are waiting for an email from the luck messenger – they urgently want into the beta.

On the other hand, Overwatch is different. Since I am not in the beta yet (but a trustworthy source tells me I will be lucky soon), I consume quite a few streams and already know: I will get hooked on this game. For me, the “Beta Fall 2015” consists of Overwatch only – but it’s likely very different for many of you.

But now it’s finally your turn! Which beta tests have you participated in over the past weeks and months? Which games did you enjoy and which disappeared from your hard drive after just a few moments? Let us know in the comments and engage in discussion!

WoW: Legion release date has been leaked

The release date of Legion, the next World of Warcraft expansion, seems to have been leaked. The next WoW expansion will be released no later than September 21, 2016.

Update on 04/22/2016: Here you can see the official release date of WoW Legion.

On a page of Battle.net, the release date of the expansion has now been discovered: “The expected release date of the game is on or before September 21, 2016,” it says. The page was a pre-sale page. It went online prematurely and has since been removed.

The image also shows various pre-sale bonuses: Including a Lvl100 boost for a character or early access to the new class Demon Hunter.

The prices for Legion are $50 for the standard game. A deluxe edition with mount, pet, and additional content for Diablo 3 and Starcraft 2 is expected to cost $70.

WoW Legion Wallpaper small

The expansion Legion was presented by Blizzard at Gamescom. In addition to the new class Demon Hunter, Illidan will celebrate his return. It will be a “Demon” add-on. With class halls and artifact weapons, many ideas have been incorporated that have long been on the community’s wish list.

Whether all this will happen, we will find out in the coming days. If the expansion is only in September 2016, it would indeed be a huge disappointment. Many had hoped it would be released alongside the movie in the summer of 2016, not until fall.

WoW Demon Duo

One hope remains – the date could be the latest possible date for the end of summer

While the hope remains that the date is basically the “worst case” and that an earlier date has actually been considered, at least the wording “or earlier” allows for that.

September 21 is the last day of summer – that could mean “We’re still bringing it out in summer.” With Warlords of Draenor, a similar tactic was used, stating: “We’ll be bringing it out in fall” and gave December 20 as the date with “on that day or earlier.” Warlords of Draenor was then released on November 13, 2014.

Destiny: Xur, Agent of the Nine, Inventory and Location on 11/6.

Xur arrives today, on November 6th, to Destiny and offers his goods. We reveal his inventory and location.

It’s slowly vacation time in Destiny; nothing crazy new has happened in the last week, and there have been no new quests or exotic weapons. PvP events are now ongoing, with only the “Challenge Mode” for the raid still pending, which can be expected in December.

Destiny-Xur

Two patches are still coming to Destiny in 2015, with the one in November making some quests and loot challenges easier, while the December patch will likely address the balance. Otherwise, Bungie is currently keeping us pretty much in the dark, and the future plans are still unknown two months after the launch of “The Taken King”.

All about Xur in Destiny on November 6, November 7, and November 8

What time does Xur arrive? How long will he stay?

Xur’s schedule says he arrives at 10:00 AM on November 6th in the Tower or in the Reef. He will stay until Sunday, November 8th, at 10:00 AM.

Where is Xur? What is his location?

Xur is hanging out by the big door across from the Speaker.

We covered that in this article.

What’s up with the Glass Needle?

This can be used to reroll exotic armor pieces.

What items does Xur have today?

Xur does not have a weapon this week, but an exotic helmet engram for 19 strange coins.

Hunters receive the helmet Celestial Nighthawk for 13 coins.

As a Legacy Engram, there is a Primary Weapon Engram – Year 1 weapons with Year 1 stats can come from this.

ARK: A new, deadly dinosaur overshadows T-Rex

ARK is getting a new dinosaur that easily overshadows the T-Rex.

The Giganotosaurus is hungry

Those who have achieved everything in ARK: Survival Evolved with their tribe will be pleased with the latest announcement. The dino island is being expanded with a new inhabitant, the Giganotosaurus. As the name suggests, the beast is gigantic and towers over the Tyrannosaurus by several heads. It will be the hardest creature to tame in the game and thus an addition to the endgame.

To tame a Giganotosaurus, a well-prepared crew is needed, as the fight becomes more difficult the longer it lasts. With each passing second, the giant’s power grows, and its bites become more devastating.

But even if the behemoth is tamed, players are not safe – occasionally, the creature breaks free and turns against friendly tribe members. If the beast gets fed up, it is also known to throw the rider off and pursue its own goals. Taming the Giganotosaurus is therefore never truly complete and poses a perpetual danger – is this risk worth it?

Apart from the dinosaur, the latest patch brings new swords, as well as numerous shields – both ancient and modern.

Battleborn is delayed – Release date on PC, PS4 and Xbox One postponed

The MOBA shooter Battleborn will not be able to meet its release date in February. It is delayed significantly.

In Battleborn, the first testing phases in a Closed Beta have now started, all still strictly under NDA. The game was originally scheduled for release on February 9, 2016, on PC, PS4, and Xbox One. The date cannot be met. The planned release is postponed by 3 months.

Rendain-Face-Battleborn

The new release date of Battleborn is, according to publisher Take Two Interactive, now the May 3, 2016. No reasons have been given so far.

Battleborn is part of a series of games that want to revitalize the team shooter genre. Battleborn relies on the quirky look from Borderlands for its world and character design and aims to combine a dynamic shooter with character development over a match and the character diversity of a MOBA.

Destiny: Exchange options for weapon parts, Etheric Light, Worm Spores

In the MMO shooter Destiny , there will soon be options to exchange weapon parts, and players will be able to give away Etheric Light and Worm Spore.

The Weekly Update for Destiny was released early this week with some promises.

November Update and December Update previewed

It is known how exhausted the Guardians’ supplies of weapon parts have become: Banshee-44 will become the weapon part dealer. He accepts Glimmer as payment. This will happen in the November Update. There will also be easing of quests and loot runs, which have already been promised. The patch is expected to arrive before November 26, before Thanksgiving. It will also contain other things that have not yet been promised, as they cryptically hint.

For December, there is also an update planned. Here, Petra Venj will be interested in the useless upgrade material “Etheric Light” of the players. Eris Morn will accept surplus Worm Spore. What the two ladies will offer in return is not disclosed.

In the December update, one can also expect changes to weapon balance and class balance

Trials of Osiris – in numbers

A few numbers are revealed about the past Trials of Osiris. The next round will begin Friday at 19:00 – the Trials of Osiris will take place weekly again:

133,444 have made it to the Lighthouse on Mercury at least once (that is 9-0), which is 16.25% of all players who tried, as 820,986 players participated in the Trials.

In May, before the changes, more managed to reach Mercury, at that time it was 188,442.

Osiris-Destiny

That was almost everything from the Weekly Update this time. The Community Manager DeeJ is going on vacation. When he comes back, the live team will talk about what Year 2 in Destiny will bring.

At the moment, there is a debate: Fans are speculating about whether it will continue with paid content or content patches. Unfortunately, we won’t learn anything about that today.


However, we will find out tomorrow at 10:00 AM what Xur has in his offer. We will welcome him.

Just Fishing: The MMO World of Fishing Starts in Open Beta

It is a phenomenon, but virtual fishing is a feature that has many fans in many games and is finding more and more followers. The MMO World of Fishing revolves entirely around it.

Fishing apparently has something fascinating about it: One often stands for hours by a pond or at the sea, holding a rod in the water and waiting for a fish to bite. This one hangs prepared on the wall to show everyone what a great angler one is. Smaller fish, of course, go into the pan. Fishing online also excites many players, especially in MMOs. With World of Fishing, an online game has now started its Open Beta, which is mainly about this sport.

World of Fishing Team

Who catches the biggest fish?

In this, World of Fishing mixes classic MMORPG elements with fishing. You create a character who wants to become the best angler in the world. You start with rudimentary equipment and a small boat and try to get money by catching as many big fish as possible to buy better equipment. You can even upgrade your character like in an MMO.

World of Fishing Character

When fishing, you have to “fight” with the fish, as they have an AI that makes them difficult to pull out of the water. Therefore, you have to develop special strategies for different fish species. The more exotic and rarer the fish you catch, the better your reward will be. But you only catch the truly rare fish at special locations in the world, for which you also need special equipment and boats. In addition, you compete in competitions against other players to show that you are the best angler.

World of Fishing Fishing

Off to the Open Beta!

“World of Fishing is the right game for cold winter evenings when hobby anglers and online gamers compete for the big catch,” says Patrick Streppel, CEO of Insel Games Ltd, who is handling the game’s operation with the OBT. “The feedback in the CBT clearly showed that there is a need for deeper gameplay than other casual titles currently offer – and with over 100 improvements, we have made “WoF” the ultimate fishing MMO!”

https://youtu.be/dMkM_xF0gIk

If you want to see for yourself what the MMO is like and go fishing virtually, you can sign up directly for the Open Beta of World of Fishing at worldoffishing.net!

Destiny: This professional wrestler could also crush you in the Crucible

Among the prominent fans of the MMO shooter Destiny is the colossal professional wrestler The Big Show.

We have reported before that the giant “The Big Show,” a professional wrestler for WWE, is an avid Destiny player and was upset about the random factor there. He always does “The Glass Chamber” and only gets junk, while his friends pull out Ice Breakers!

That was in November 2014, a year later “The Big Show” received a “care package” from Bungie and Red Bull.

However, some of his fans doubt that the 2.12m tall heavyweight athlete actually plays Destiny, as busy as he is with family, work, and more. Big Show’s response: Lol, I belong to the top 1% in K/D, Grimore, and Light! I really play, believe me.

If Big Show is among the top 1% of Destiny players, one should probably never provoke his wrath virtually. Destiny has many notable fans, including US actor Zach Braff, who is JD from Scrubs, or boxing legend Mike Tyson.

Overwatch can be pre-ordered for consoles – as a full-price title

Anyone interested can pre-order Overwatch – for the consoles PlayStation 4 and Xbox One and it’s not going to be cheap.

Heroes on the Gamepad

It can be surprising how quickly things can be revealed: As of today, you can pre-order the shooter at GameStop, specifically for the consoles PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Although this is not yet listed on the shop’s website, those venturing out into the real world can visit a trusted GameStop store and pay for their pre-order of the game, as reported by the US site Kotaku. It seems that GameStop has preempted a significant announcement planned for BlizzCon.

Overwatch Beta Impression
Console gamers will be pleased: Overwatch is effectively confirmed for PS4 and Xbox One.

At least in America, the game is being offered for $60, which suggests that it will not be a free-to-play title, but a full-price game. The free-to-play model was already doubted by developers beforehand, as the continual switching of heroes is a core component of the game and would pose a challenge to a free-to-play model.

Similar titles to Overwatch include Evolve and Battleborn. Evolve has also been released for consoles and follows a classic buy-to-play payment model with additional microtransactions, and Battleborn’s plans look very similar.

This likely means that a significant announcement for the upcoming BlizzCon has already been revealed ahead of time – somewhere at Blizzard, some phone lines are probably getting quite a workout…

Shooter Christmas: Xbox One and PS4 both want to be THE Shooter console

Before a lead-filled Christmas, both Sony and Microsoft claim shooter supremacy for their consoles Xbox One and Playstation 4.

For those who haven’t noticed: Christmas is approaching rapidly, and now the big hits of the year are coming, the newest installments of the shooter franchises, just in time for the holiday season: Halo, Call of Duty, Battlefront – and also games like Fallout 4 with shooter elements have either been released or are just around the corner.

This is how PS4 and Xbox One want to claim the shooter throne

Fallout 4

Both current-gen consoles claim for themselves, “We are the shooter console.” So it’s clear for Aaron Greenberg from Microsoft that shooters are the number one genre. And anyone who wants to play Halo, Gears of War, and Call of Duty, along with Battlefront, can only do so on the Xbox One.

Halo 5 is an Xbox-exclusive title, and Gears of War 4 is also supposed to be released only for Xbox One.

At Sony, they see it differently. “In this generation, the shooter audience is moving to the Playstation 4,” says Sony representative Lauren Bradley in a recent interview. Special attention is placed on Star Wars Battlefront. They reportedly had tears in their eyes when the Battlefront Sony spot aired, so moved were they at Sony. The spot fits perfectly with the nostalgia of the twentieth anniversary of the Playstation.

Sony, as evident from the spot, is focusing on exclusive marketing deals rather than exclusive titles in the console war for shooter players. For example, Sony lures with Call of Duty with map packs that come a month earlier, and with Destiny, they made a deal with Bungie, so that players on PS3 and PS4 get some extra content.

For years, both consoles have been vying for exclusive deals with the major shooter franchises. If one company has a beta exclusive, the other must follow up with exclusive DLC for the next game.

Shooter War under the Christmas Tree

My MMO thinks: If one looks at this with open eyes, the players are the ones suffering in this console war for shooter supremacy. Because consoles are currently luring their followers on both sides with “exclusive” deals. So essentially with game content that is finished, but is withheld from the followers of the other console for a certain period or even forever.

Or there are exclusive titles that friends of the other console cannot play at all, even though there would surely be a target audience for them. All of this leads to intense tensions among the fan groups of both consoles.

For hardcore fans, the players and heads of the other console are the villains taking away their fun. People then like to tally up what the other group has done wrong, what they have taken liberties with, and what they have mocked, while pointing out that it is absolutely legitimate that they now also have something exclusive.

Well, what is the festival of love for some is the most important battle of the year for others in a war that seemingly has no end. Merry Christmas.

World of Warships: Update brings Firelands, Aurora Borealis and new mode “Zone”

The military MMO World of Warships receives three new maps and the battle mode “Zone” with the patch tonight.

World of Warships is still relatively new, at the end of September it transitioned from beta to release. This means that individual patches bring a lot of changes, especially tweaking the details of the reward systems.

During the night from Thursday to Friday, between 4:00 AM and 5:30 AM, the servers will be down, and the patch 0.5.1 is expected to arrive in the morning of November 6th. This patch will change many details regarding account points and the defense pass level, introduce new sounds to the game, adjust the screws of daily missions, and much more.

World of Warships features battles from one end of the world to the other

Three new maps are coming to the game. Fireland is inspired by South America, “The Trap” recreates historical battles between Japan and the USA, with a volcano rumbling in the background. And Northern Lights will be the first night battle of World of Warships – including the natural phenomenon Aurora Borealis, the Northern Lights.

A new mode called “Zone” is coming to the free-to-play MMO. In the center of the map, there is a large base, but it can only be captured in the last 2 minutes of a battle. So for the main part of the match, it’s about working towards that end.

Overwatch: Not a “Shooter” – Reinhardt takes down the opposing team single-handedly!

Overwatch offers room for many memorable plays – a Reinhardt player cleared all enemies with a single charge.

When a Tank Loses Patience …

The various role titles like “Tank” or “Support” are somewhat ambiguous in Overwatch. Ultimately, the game is not a MOBA, but a shooter, so even “Support” characters can rack up decent kills or well-played Tanks can plow through enemies. This is exactly what happened to the player Renbot, who grabbed the German knight Reinhardt to protect his team with shield and charge.

However, since Reinhardt is anything but a coward who simply hides behind his shield, Renbot seized the opportunity to attack an enemy Symmetra with the charge – but that was not the only enemy he encountered on his long journey toward the deadly abyss. See for yourself:

With such actions, even new shooters can achieve great success in Overwatch, and this is likely to bring the game the influx and accessibility that players have come to expect from other Blizzard products.

Currently, the closed Overwatch Beta is taking place, with new waves of players regularly being accepted.
