Ever since they were introduced in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Perks have been present in everymultiplayer mode in the series and make up the backbone of any class that a player uses or creates. While the system has retain a similar DNA throughout all of its interactions, many titles have tried to tweak the formula to change how Perks are used and approached to and some variety to the many titles that have appeared over the last 20 years. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 continues that trend of introducing the Gear system, which will function very similarly to the classic Perk system but with some notable changes that players will want to understand before jumping into creating their own classes in the new FPS title. This guide will provide players with a full explanation of the Gear System and all of its Perks in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.
UFC 5 gameplay deep dive delves into the real impact system
21.09.2023 - 00:59 / thesixthaxis.com
UFC 5 was announced a couple of weeks ago, with a release date confirmed for October 27th. Quite a quick turnaround from announcement to release. The original trailer was a teaser showing some of the new additions players should expect, including the real impact system and doctor stoppages. Now, a UFC 5 deep dive video regarding the gameplay has been released, with Martial Mind giving the rundown.
The UFC 5 deep dive starts with a look at the real impact system. This system encompasses the health events fighters experience during their bout, facial injuries, reactions to body hits, and the cumulative damage that landed hits have on the fighters. To accentuate how the system impacts fighters, damage icons are being introduced. The vision penalty icon shows when a cut on the face has led to bleeding which in turn is impacting a fighter’s sight. When this icon appears, the amount of hurt damage does to that area will increase, making the fighter much more vulnerable. After 30 seconds of no contact in the affected area the penalty is removed. This also applies at the start of new rounds. Breathing penalty comes into play when a fighter gets a nose or mouth injury, and reduces the rate at which stamina can be recovered. Again, if that area is not hit again within 30 seconds the penalty is lifted as well as at the start of the next round. Stun icons are split between head, body, and leg and will appear if those areas become injured, ranging in severity from low to high. Health icons are split between heart, arm, and leg. As the health of these areas deteriorate, they become more susceptible to submission attempts.
Doctor stoppages are a new addition to the UFC franchise, providing an alternative way for fights to end. The doctor icon will first appear when a head injury occurs, except at the mouth. It will start as a low possibility, increasing as more damage is sustained in the injured area. When the icon turns red, the ref will halt the match and call in the doctor for advice. The doctor will then decide if the fight can continue or has to be stopped.
As a result of doctor stoppages, the defensive aspect of UFC 5 has seen improvements too, with positioning, head movement, blocks, and lunges all upgraded. Head movement is faster and more responsive, making it simpler to avoid strikes. It also costs less stamina than previous entries. The lunges will also cost less stamina. Fighters with a higher footwork stat will move faster than those who have a lower footwork rating. Animations have also been improved to look more authentic. Knee strikes look heavier and more impactful, while a front leg kick has more of a snap to it.
Striking has been simplified, reducing the number of button inputs required to perform
