Unfortunately for Ubisoft and developer Massive, those problems continued through the release of multiple updates and the first major expansion. Players left in droves for other titles, including Destiny , which was in the middle of its impressive comeback. The rough patch led to Massive holding off additional expansion in an effort to fix the fps game ranking and revitalize the player base. The move worked, and with the release of its 1.4 patch , The Division was able to successfully call back thousands of players, giving them a reason to once again enjoy the post-apocalyptic destruction of New York C
Sandy Peterson’s maps for DOOM were notably different from those created by the other developers of id Software. Peterson liked more abstract designs for maps, and was more experimental. As such, fans remain divided to this day about his creations. One such level, ‘The Chasm’ from DOOM II: Hell On Earth , was said to have been inspired by a nightmare the developer had involving thin bridges and deep cha
Quick Revive is also a huge help in situations where players get surprised by a surprise zombie or, in the worst cases, a surprise horde. Being able to disengage the mercenaries and quickly heal, dispatch the zombies and heal, then return to the mercenary fight, can be instrumental in completion of this contract. Additionally, the increased regeneration factor can be a literal life-saver when players are locked in place, disabling an extractor. Remember that players can lay down during this process, taking cover from most fire – as long as there is not a mercenary immediately behind the player. If players begin receiving damage while attempting to disable an extractor, laying down and letting Quick Revive work its magic can help players avoid interruptions in progress and having to start the hack from the beginn
Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone feature a wide range of weapons , each with their own place within the overall meta. While each weapon has its strengths and weaknesses, they can all be made stronger with the right attachments. However, there is a better way to improve the strength of a weapon: by wielding two of them at o
Accessible only via cheats, the level features a pillar with faces on it. As it clips through the level’s walls, the pillar eventually travels out of bounds before crashing the game (in the aforementioned source port, the player is thrust back to the main menu instead). Before this happens, a doodle of a flying block floating out of the level and into the void exclaiming “I’M FREE!” will be shown on-screen. This was drawn by the developers as they found the glitch to be very funny, and went so far as to scan the doodle and implement it into the game as a quirky gag before the title would close and send players back to
The Akimbo feature has been a staple in the COD franchise for a while now, but it’s only available for select weapons in Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone . While Akimbo weapons are almost entirely made up of options from the Handgun category , there are a few exceptions. Here is how to unlock and use Akimbo weapons in Modern Warfare 3 and Warzo
The story is one of the best to make use of the Chernobyl setting, inventing a rare new and highly sought-after substance which gave the game its title. The game features a good combination of fantastical sci-fi elements combined with gritty realism, and there is always plenty to do from survival and crafting to recruitments and base customizati
Any offensive armaments like the Mortar Strike can be excellent at quickly removing the Terminus forces around an extractor, just be careful not to get caught in the effect area. Throwable tactical and lethal equipment are also effective in this regard – when choosing between Epic tactical gear options, the Cymbal Monkeys or the Kazimir Device , the latter will pull the mercenaries into the blackhole effect , similar to zombies, making it more effective when dispatching a large group of Terminus goons . While the Cymbal Monkey does have an effective blast radius, the Mercenaries do not fall prey to the upbeat tune and will not gather around the explosion the way zombies would. Claymores and proximity mines can be useful at deterring recon assailants , but be cautious of proximity mine placement not to accidentally catch yourself in the blast if triggered by a mercenary. Thermite is also highly effective against groups and heavily armored troops like the shocktroop
The team-based online shooter Team Fortress 2 is kept alive these days via community-created updates. Valve Software, in turn, compensates these contributors and implements their levels in the game. ‘Wutville’ was implemented in the Smissmas 2020 update as a festive-themed Payload map, where BLU must push the bomb into RED territory – who in turn must stop them – within the time li
The Chernobyl nuclear disaster of 1986 was a pivotal moment which ultimately accelerated the collapse of the USSR, making it one of the most historically significant events in recent history. Due to the nature of the incident, a large exclusion zone was established to prevent radioactive contamination, leading to many speculations and conspiracy theories as to what may be happening there. It makes for an ideal video game setting in which treacherous conditions and a high number of life-ending threats combine to create an eerie and seemingly inhospitable environm
