Radiant Dance Machines (a new Hunter exotic) have been disabled in both the Crucible and Gambit modes because they allowed Hunters to dodge “an unintended amount of times” in the competitive modes. To put it simply, it gave Hunters the option to just dive about the arena, avoiding fire from other Guardians and gaining an unfair advantage and allowed them to charge their Supers very quickly, too. “Due to an issue that allows Hunters to dodge an unintended amount of times in a row, we have temporarily disabled the Radiant Dance Machines Exotic Hunter leg armor in Gambit and all PvP activities,” Bungie has said in a tweet....

Who would have thought that an inanimate bag of crisps could make such an autonomously cheeky decision? All of those carefully curated marketing schemes, coupled with months of tight-lipped secrecy across hundreds, if not thousands, of employees. All of that, foiled by one rogue packet of Doritos Chilli Heatwave. The news comes from popular Call of Duty site charlieINTEL. Check out the tweet below. As you can see, Doritos Double XP ends in January 2021, meaning that Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is still likely to launch before the end of 2020....

Later today, Call of Duty: Warzone will be getting a bit of a weapon loot shakeup, and Modern Warfare receives a new map.

Yesterday’s Season 4 teaser for Call of Duty: Warzone and Modern Warfare confirmed that Captain Price would indeed be the season’s main operator, alongside Kyle Garrick. Though the trailer was light on details, opting instead to recap the main events of previous seasons, it did show off two new weapons coming to the game. This is particularly interesting because it confirms recent leaks about some of the new content. In the last shot of the trailer, we get to see the Galil Ace assault rifle, and the Kriss Vector SMG....

Call of Duty: Warzone’s battle royale mode is not a strictly battle royale game mode. Though elements like dropping out of a plane at the start, scavenging for weapons, and an ever encroaching circle of death remain, Warzone battle royale introduces its own twist on several BR staples.

To make it simple, we’ve rounded up a few solid beginner and advanced tips to smooth off the edges and up your odds of success early on....

His initial tweet reads as follows: “Unpopular opinion: achievements/trophies have been bad for gaming. It narrows games down, it disrupts and diverts attention, and it eats resources that could have made the game better.” In replies, he elaborated that, “games should have the reward mechanisms most suited for them, and the one-size-fits-all mandate from platform holders to make reward systems that benefit the platform makes games worse.” Hot take or not, it’s a compelling argument!...

Crytek has revealed the minimum and recommended specs for the PC version of Crysis Remastered. The specs were published on the game’s Epic Games Store page and they are definitely attainable. Unfortunately, this is just another in a long list of cases where developers don’t actually state the target visuals and performance each set of specs is intended for. Are the recommended specs good for 1080p 60fps, or is 30fps the standard?...

It’s fair to say that melee was one of the weaker links of the game back when we played the first four hours of Cyberpunk 2077 back in June. We described it as a “simple but fun”, and reminiscent of the combat in The Elder Scrolls games, which is fine - but when compared to the very legitimately shooter-like blasting in the game, it felt a little on the weak side....
