Beta

The beta for the highly anticipated Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is bringing in some new modes this weekend, including a 64 person multiplayer mode that harkens back to the classic days of Battlefield on the PC.

The new mode is called Ground War mode and will feature 32 on 32 combat, including the ability to use vehicles to eliminate the other team. The map for the beta mode will be Karst River Quarry and will resemble the popular Modern Warfare 2 Map “Quarry”. This map will grow and allow players to ride in APCs and other vehicles, blasting away as you try to take down your foes.

The beta for this round will go live on September 19th at 10am PST for those who preorder the game. If you’re not set on preordering, you can get in on the action beginning on September 21st.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is a fresh game that shares an identical name to the 2007 version of the game that took the world by storm. This version will feature

The Fallout 76 beta period has now started. Players on the Xbox One, PC and PS4 have been able to get online over the past few days to test out Fallout 76 for the first time.

Bethesda has chosen to do a different testing schedule than typical, however, making it more difficult to log in and play at various times.

Here is a look at the upcoming schedules for Fallout 76’s beta stage up until November 4.

● October 30: US Pacific - 4PM - 8PM
● November 1: US Pacific - 11AM - 4PM
● November 2: No servers live
● November 3: US Pacific - 2PM - 6PM
● November 4: US Pacific - 11AM - 6PM

The best time to get a lengthy play session during these dates is November 4. The beta will continue to run up until November 14. Bethesda will be publishing the times their betas go live on their social media accounts.

The reason why Bethesda is running small tests like this is because they want to stress test the servers under different conditions. The

Are you looking forward to Fallout 76? If you are, you’ll want to take a read through this article.

Bethesda has just pushed out a bunch of new details about Fallout 76 ahead of the upcoming beta period. We’ll be sharing all of the new information in this article.

Firstly, it’s been confirmed that the beta will start on October 23 for Xbox One players and October 30 for PC and PS4 players. The beta will be live most days for roughly 4-8 hours each day.

What’s incredible is that the beta will run all the way up to a few days before the release date, which is on November 14. You must pre-order to get into the beta, but your progress made in the beta will carry on over to the full release.

We also now know that the player count will be between 12 and 36, but the final number still hasn’t been revealed.

There will be quests and objectives just like in Fallout 4, as well as dozens of different enemy NPCs to kill. There won’t be any human NPCs to interact with,

We have finally been given more information about the upcoming Fallout 76 beta across all platforms.

Bethesda has revealed some details about the beta and when we can expect to get access to it. Take a look at what we now know below.

Bethesda has announced that the Fallout 76 beta will come to the Xbox One first on October 23. One week later, the beta will be available for PlayStation 4 and PC players.

Bethesda has made it very clear that while they are excited to show people Fallout 76 for the first time, the beta is designed to be a stress test. As a result, the servers may go down, they may break, and there may be performance issues.

Bethesda also said that the servers will be going online at targeted timeframes so that Bethesda can get as many people online at once.

Bethesda says they will reveal the live server times at a later point, but the servers will be live between four and eight hours at a time.

What's exciting is that the beta will

COD Blackout has been up and available on beta for PS4 pre-orderers this week and we’ve had the chance to get our hands on it.

We have to say that we’re very impressed with what we’ve seen so far. There was a lot of criticism directed toward Activision when the Blackout mode was announced, but we think that’ll all be dropped once everybody gets their hands on the game.

In Blackout, 88 players join the same open world map. Just like other battle royale games, the idea is that only one player or team can survive.

You’ll choose where you land and from there you must pick up loot scattered around the world. You’ll find everything from SMGs to RPGs on the ground, as well as a range of utility items.

Blackout also has a selection of vehicles in the world, including helicopters, large trucks, and ATVs. This is very exciting to see - vehicles are something we haven’t seen in Call of Duty for a very, very long time.

The vehicles work smoothly, but they fit into

We’ve already had the pleasure to test Black Ops 4’s standard multiplayer ahead of schedule, but now we will also get the chance to try out the new Blackout game mode before the full launch.

Activision has now revealed that Blackout will be getting a beta in September. We have the full scoop on the beta date and supported platforms in this article.

For those unaware, Blackout is COD’s new battle royale mode. It’s not the only AAA game getting one this year. Both Black Ops 4 and Battlefield V will be receiving one.

However, with Blackout’s beta going live in September, Blacks Ops 4 will be the first battle royale mode we get to see in a triple A shooter.

Firstly, if you're a PS4 player, you'll get to experience Blackout early.

PS4 owners that pre-order Blackout

The recent Black Ops 4 beta was mostly met with optimism and positivity, but there were some areas that definitely needed some extra attention.

Recently, Treyarch took to Reddit to share their thoughts on the feedback they received during the beta. Treyarch also left some comments on the changes they will be bringing to Black Ops 4 before it launches on October 12.

Firstly, the fog of war minimap feature is getting reworked massively. Many players felt that the minimap was a little too overpowered in the beta, and Treyarch agreed. They will tone it down a little bit in full release.

Tac-Deploy was a topic for hot debate in the beta. With this tool, a team member can essentially change the spawn position of the team, but it proved to be a little too powerful.

As a result, Treyarch will be shortening the time the Tac-Deploy is active. On top of this, only 10 spawns per Tac-Deploy are possible before it shuts down.

Perhaps the biggest change was the adjustments

The Black Ops 4 beta is live. During the beta, a lot of changes have been noticed by the community. One such change is the introduction of a new weapon ballistics feature.

Weapons in Black Ops 4 will behave differently depending on their weapon class. With this, bullet drop and things like spread will be added to balance out the different weapon classes.

So far, we haven’t noticed all of the weapon ballistic changes that have been added, but one clear change is found on SMGs.

In past COD games, SMGs were often all-in-one killing machines. They were fast firing and could be used at relatively any distance. In Black Ops 4, this is no longer the case. SMGs start to falter at longer ranges due to changes to their weapon ballistics.

This will make players think harder about which weapons to use to suit their playstyle. The weapon ballistic changes will also be important for creating a more competitive environment. Hopefully, players will be forced to rely on each

Star Wars Battlefront 2 is having an open beta event in anticipation of the game launch next month. The beta is taking place later this week and will be available on PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

If you pre-ordered Battlefront 2, you'll be able to jump in on October 4. If you haven't pre-ordered, you'll be able to play the beta starting from October 6. The beta will be live until October 9.

As well as revealing the beta start dates, EA has explained which maps and modes will be in the multiplayer beta for Star Wars Battlefront 2.

There will be four game modes available in the beta. This includes Galactic Assault, Starfighter Assault, Strike, and Arcade.

In Starfighter Assault, players will be able to play in a 24 player two-sided affair in space. In Galactic Assault, players will play a 10v10 battle mode on Naboo. Players will be able to play as both the separatist droids and the clone troopers from the prequel movies.

Strike is a smaller class-based mode that

If you're not getting excited for NBA 2K18 yet, the new Prelude demo might get you interested.

The Prelude demo is available for both PlayStation 4 and Xbox One owners and will give players a chance to try out NBA 2K18 for free in anticipation of the game's impending release.

With Prelude, players get to dip their feet in the new MyCareer mode. Players will also be given the opportunity to test out the Neighborhoods mode.

In Neighborhoods, players are given access to an online social space where they can interact with other players, challenge others to games, and play various activities, some of which can improve their player's stats.

Interestingly, the developers are letting players keep hold of the progress they make during the Prelude demo. If you improve your character's stats, change your character's appearance, or make any other progress, it'll stay with your account when you purchase and play the full game.

NBA 2K18 is set to launch on Xbox One,
