Arma's 'Rats map' April Fools' is now a real Tiny Wars mode you can play
03.04.2024 - 01:25 / rockpapershotgun.com / You Can
RPS was on holiday yesterday, which is fortuitous timing because it was April 1st and it meant we missed all the "jokes" (lies) the games industry likes to spread on that day each year.
Credit to Arma developer's Bohemia Interactive, however. Their April 1st announcement was that the latest update for Arma Reforger was Tiny Wars, a game mode in which you controlled tiny toy Army Men as they waged war around a proportionally huge home. As ever, this isn't really a joke, but it also wasn't exactly a lie, because you can actually play Tiny Wars for real now.
"This video was part of April Fools' Day 2024...," says an update in the description under the video. "However, we're not cruel - You can play this content NOW! Get ahold of the official Tiny Wars game mode from the in-game Arma Reforger Workshop."
Bohemia will host servers for the game mode until April 9th.
I am a stick-in-the-mud when it comes to April Fools' jokes, but I do like it any time a developer uses it as an excuse to genuinely make soemthing frivolous or a bit daft, as Bohemia have.
I'm also a huge fan of levels that make you feel very small as you fight among mundane bric-a-brac. I spent many, many hours playing various Rats maps - Turkey Burgers, et al - for Quake, Half-Life, Counter-Strike and so on. I am glad that the phenomena lives on in Arma of all places.
You can download Tiny Wars in-game, but you'll find more screenshots and information about it via its page on the Reforger site.
The website gametalkz.com is an aggregator of news from open sources. The source is indicated at the beginning and at the end of the announcement. You can send a complaint on the news if you find it unreliable.

Unnerving £2 gem Buckshot Roulette is working on a multiplayer mode so you can play shotgun roulette with pals
Buckshot Roulette is simple, and simply unsettling. Sat across the table from a mysterious opponent clad in a deeply unnerving toothy mask, you pick up a shotgun loaded with shells. Then, you decide whether to point the gun at your opponent or yourself, and pull the trigger. Some of the shells are live, and others are blanks. Guess correctly, and you get to go again.

Balatro is getting just a little bit easier in the next patch, and you can try it now
The deck-fixing roguelikelike poker of Balatro is chuffing excellent, no doubt, but my main criticism has been that the higher difficulty modes are just a bit boring. Having beat them myself, I didn't find them a fun or interesting challenge as much as an annoying one that required too much to go right. I'm glad to hear that they're being tweaked in an upcoming patch, which you can now test in a public beta on Steam, and even the lowest difficulty setting will be tweaked. Other changes include improved (hopefully) Steam Deck performance, balance tweaks, and better Joker-related Tags.

Overwatch 2's April Fools Update Had a Hilarious Impact on PvE
Overwatch 2 released a special April Fools' Day update, giving players access to a wacky game mode in the Arcade as well as adding Googly eyes to the characters, though it appears this update also impacted NPC characters as well. For many fans, April Fools' Day can be a double edged sword, as many companies come up with some elaborate pranks that many only wish were true. For example, CD Projekt RED revealed a fake special Limited Floppy Edition of Cyberpunk 2077, putting the game on 97,619 3.5in diskettes.

Dead by Daylight, Among Us, and More Deliver April Fools Day Gags You Can Actually Play
It’s the most annoying day of the yeeeeear – yes, in case you haven’t looked at the calendar and are wondering why everyone’s gone crazy, today is April Fools Day.

Ho ho!
