MODERN WARFARE III OVERVIEW [MWIII]
CONTENT SUMMARY:
New Modes: Minefield, Escort
Minefield
Watch your step in the new Minefield game mode, adding an explosive new dynamic to a variety of Multiplayer modes. In this variant, players still adhere to each mode’s basic ruleset with an important caveat: Eliminated Operators drop a Proximity Mine where they fall. The mine cannot be picked up and is deadly to the fallen Operator’s team, setting up the potential for some truly explosive combos.
As the eliminations start racking up, the action grows more intense, challenging players to watch their step while pursuing the next target.
Escort
In Escort, teams take turns escorting a MAW through the environment with the goal of hacking three points across the map. The MAW only moves forward if an attacking Operator is nearby and will move in reverse if a defending Operator closes the distance.
Matches take place over two rounds, giving each team a turn on attack and defense. The team who hacks the most points or who hacks all three points in the shortest amount of time wins the match.

Grime [6v6]
Brand-New, Core, 6v6, Medium-Sized
Navigate an abandoned corner of London as you weave through Grime’s dockside district, a graffiti-laden hub featuring the remnants of the once lively SKN Comms building beside the Captain’s Dog pub and the now-defunct boat house. Swim through the murky waters of the canal and battle along the docks. Surviving this derelict urban location will require smart use of the map’s chokepoints and a penchant for dirty tactics.

Ubisoft’s crossover Call-of-Duty-esque multiplayer shooter XDefiant has been in various forms of testing for over a year and delayed multiple times, but it seems the game is finally launching for real this month. XDefiant will be a free-to-play live-service game with regular updates, but it will launch with a variety of “preseason” content, including five factions, 14 maps, and multiple modes. Here’s a rundown of the launch content.
Content Warning, Landfall's latest release,has received its first big update, barely a month after it launched. Content Warning roared out on its first day as it was free, but it continues to see play on Steam.
Diablo IV's upcoming Season 4 promises to be transformative. Blizzard has decided to forgo the usual swathe of service content, instead using the opportunity to rework how itemisation builds crafting work and introduce improvements and fixes requested by the player base.
Square Enix expects to recognize extraordinary losses of 22.1 billion yen in “content abandonment losses” for the fiscal year ended March 2024, the company announced.
Let's remove the mystery from the headline. Three Mass Effect games are going for next to nothing right now on PC, and you need to jettison your modern perspective misgivings and take a chance on them. Forget the hot mess that was Mass Effect Andromeda. Mass Effect, Mass Effect 2—and, to a lesser extent, Mass Effect 3—were genre-defining RPGs. The remaster process has made 'em much easier on the optical implants. The writing, world-building, and companion NPC bonds you'll forge, meanwhile, all remain timeless.
Magic: The Gathering has revealed its next Secret Lair crossover. Joining the likes of Fallout, Warhammer 40,000, and Lord of the Rings is none other than Vocaloid superstar Hatsune Miku.

Cygames has detailed the new content coming in updates 1.2.0 and 1.3.0 of Granblue Fantasy: Relink. In addition to adding two new characters to the robust cast of Granblue Fantasy: Relink, the updates bring improvements to existing characters, bug fixes, and new quest additions.
has a hefty amount of unused content, from items and lines of dialogue to an entire dungeon. Since it's confirmed that there won't be any DLC for that could add some of this content, it will forever remain unused. Unfortunately, this is common in game development, and there's almost always content that might've made the end product way different but ended up being cut from the final version.
Arrowhead has a steady line it needs to walk with Helldivers 2. The developer needs to ensure it both fixes any bugs (not Terminids, the glitchy kind) while also adding new featurs and content to the game in order to «stay relevant».
