Call of Duty: Vanguard‘s multiplayer experience is free for all players to access for a week!

Activision has opened up access for players on all platforms to try the latest Call of Duty title Vanguard‘s multiplayer game mode for a week starting NOW!!! through to the 24th May. Alongside this promotion, they have dropped a brand new multiplayer map Mayhem which is set in a 1950s Monster set. This all coincides with the juggernaut that is Warzone, the event currently ongoing is Operation Monarch unleashing King Kong and Godzilla onto the mammoth battle royale map Caldera.

Pick up Call of Duty: Vanguard today!!!

• Buy the game for Xbox
• Buy the game for PS5

This is not the first and won’t be the last time Activision will give free access to Vanguard this year with a two week long free period that already happened in April. Vanguard has not been a success by any means, with poor reception from players, a decrease in sales by 40% in comparison to the previous title Black Ops Cold War and a pure lack of excitement for another World War II shooter. Despite still being one of the best selling games of 2021, Call of Duty: Vanguard posted the worst franchise launch since 2007 for the FPS series in some regions, the series had been on an upwards trajectory with the huge release of 2019’s Modern Warfare, followed by the battle royale Warzone. However, Vanguard appears to have not “clicked” in terms of sales compared to other recent launches. So it is understandable that Activision are starting to push towards promoting the next release in the Call of Duty series Modern Warfare 2 with possible trailers for the upcoming game appearing very soon, want to know more about it read one of our other articles about Modern Warfare 2 here!

The wordle craze continues with a web-based clone for the massively popular battle royale game

It is impossible to deny the rapid success of Wordle. The word game has taken the internet by storm, as players fight to keep their streaks alive by carefully guessing the Wordle word of the day. The game even became popular enough to be purchased by The New York Times. With such success, comes imitations. With everything under the sun getting some sort of Wordle clone, why not Fortnite? That’s what the folks at Fortniteskins.com figured, and they have now created their own Fortnite-themed version of Wordle called Fortle that you can now place once per day.

Unlike some other Wordle clones, the rules here are identical, it’s just that the word list is Fortnite themed instead of using all 2,000+ viable words from the New York Times version of the game. The colours have also received changes, to match the theme of Fortnite. Gold (like the legendary items) means you have the right letter in the right spot, purple (like epic items) means you have the right letter in the wrong spot. Grey is wrong letter, wrong spot.

Fortnite has managed to build up an impressive amount of content and story over the course of it’s first two chapters, and the three seasons of the current third chapter. As such, there’s a surprisingly high number of five letter words that fit within the game’s theming. BUILD, STONE, FORTS, SPIES, TREES, STORM, KNOCK, FIGHT, SPAWN, SCOPE, PHASE, CRANK etc. But if you’re having trouble, it also helps that the same website that Fortle is on houses the entire library of the Fortnite content that can easily be used as a mini cheat sheet if needed. Not that we encourage the very serious business that is cheating at Wordle.

Fortnite News

As for Fortnite itself, the current Doctor Strange led season has been making a few waves by shaking up it’s core gameplay, by disabling it’s signature building mechanics. Chapter 3, season 2 involves warfare between factions on the ground, and we are starting to see IO blimps crash to the surface as a result of the fighting. Fortnite recently donated all proceeds from the first two weeks of the season to Ukraine relief (thanks to the war theme being very ill-timed), which raised an astonishing $144 million in just two weeks.

For more on Wordle, the popular puzzle game has already been fully recreated within Minecraft by dedicated fans.

The post Introducing Fortle: the Fortnite Wordle first appeared on Get2Gaming.

Oh, Wordle, Wordle, Wordle. For the longest time I have been making jokes of Americans spelling or pronouncing things wrong… Until not very long ago, when one Wordle answer was ‘Humor’ and not ‘Humour’! Pack up your dictionaries lads, may as well admit defeat while the rest of the world is too busy poking fun at Fox News, or Florida Men, or supersized burgers, or whatever other shenanigan of the week takes attention from the state of things in the ol’ red-white-and-blue… Oh wait, they took that one? The French too? F**** it, WE’RE DOING IT LIVE!

Wordle Royale? Well, yes, but actually no. From the success of Wordle, a surprising number of imitators have put strangely unique spins on the gameplay loop, which quite a twist considering the usual gaming pipeline of “popular good and unique, to popular and good, to… popular”.

I swear Mr Ego, these new Wordles have unique themed versions, like with swears, geography, dungeon-crawling stuff, and-

That brings us to today’s topic of conversation, Squabble, which is essentially a competitive multiplayer version, including staples of stereotypical multiplayer and royale shooters like hit points, kill cams, and the sweet orgasmic bliss achieved from the thought of coming out on top against the odds of your competition… No pun intended, for once.

Your hit points essentially work like in-game health, which gets reduced with every wrong guess and healed with every correct letter you find. And if you thought things were stressful enough before, the battle royale mode also means you take damage if you take too long to think!

I’ve joked before of Wordle being the perfect game for grammar nazis, but this is basically Hunger Games-level tension WITH WORDS!

Besides the 6-99 player large royale modes with a ‘last man standing’ win condition, you can also set up smaller 2-5 player rooms with your friends.

The post Wordle Based Royale and Multiplayer Madness! first appeared on Get2Gaming.

Based on claims by regularly-correct datamining extraordinaire HYPEX, a new type of animal will be coming Epic Games‘ Fortnite.

Starting December 4th and 4pm ET (9pm UK time), the current Fortnite season will end and include a special temporary event seeing players take on The Evil Cube Queen TM.

The animal HYPEX claims will be coming to Fortnite is easily one of the most deadly, ferocious and sadistic animal known to the virtual and non-virtual worlds! I barely survived a scuffle with one when it tried to take my sandwich along with my hand at Brighton back in Ye Olde Days of 2019… It’s seagulls, I’m talking about seagulls.

HYPEX says the seagulls have appeared in Fortnite concept art (most likely upcoming unlockable loading screens in-game) depicting them in tropical locations and a new beach area.

Smidge anti-climactic considering Fortnite currently has crows flying about in-game that drop weapons of varying quality, so maybe the seagulls will have some kind of gull-exclusive gameplay item. Maybe they’ll bring back bones for the crafting system, or perhaps seagulls are teasing a more pirate-y aesthetic this time around.

Alternative gameplay theory: Imagine Peg-Leg Paul shcuff-shuffling about the ship with Black-Tooth Carl about to load a round in his flint-lock only to get yoinked up high from a hitherto unseen beast of burden being commanded by The Dread Pirate Ransford… Hypothetically speaking.

Flintlock pistols have also made a return to Fortnite recently, so I’m just saying… Epic. Honey. Shnookums. We’re onto you… Most likely… Possibly… Definitely Maybe.

HYPEX also announced Fortnite will be seeing the edition of throwable axes. Considering the little graffiti-looking wrapping under the handle, maybe there will be an upcoming option to deck out your in-game weapon wraps with your in-game graffiti sprays, like that customisable jacket skin that lets you style your jacket based on your weapon wrap designs.

Fortnite is free-to-play on PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.

The post New Fortnite Animals and Tools in Season 3! What To Know! first appeared on Get2Gaming.

After two years in the beta stage, the Chinese version of Fortnite is finally shutting down.

The official site of the Chinese modified version of Fortnite has announced it will be shutting down on November 15.

Epic Games and Tencent launched the modified site in 2018 where it stayed in beta testing for two years before this announcement.

Fortnite in China

No one will longer be able to register or download the Chinese modified version of Fortnite from now on and the servers will be closed on November 15.

The reason for the server closing wasn’t stated, yet China is very strict when it comes to regulating games, specifically battle royale ones like Fortnite. 

To Fortnite China players:

Fortnite China’s Beta test will be ending, and the servers will be closed soon. For details, please see below:

On Monday, November 1 at 11 am, we will close the new user registration entrance and game download portal;

On Monday, November 15 at 11 am, we will turn off servers for Fortnite, and players will no longer be able to connect to the game through the WeGame client.

Thank you to all the Fortnite China players who have ridden the Battle Bus with us by participating in the Beta.

If you have any questions or suggestions about the servers closing, please click here to send us feedback.

Fortnite China Operation Team
October 31, 2021 (Translated for Kotaku)

Fortnite‘s Chinese version was in beta testing for over two years and the government didn’t grant Tencent a license, despite the company publishing the game there. As such, Tencent was unable to monetize Fortnite with in-app transactions.

Similar games like PlayerUnknown Battlegrounds received no monetizations from China either and only when Tencent launched a gore-free replacement titled Game for Peace did it finally get the green light, as stated by Daniel Ahmad on Twitter.

Players that did experience the modified site would also experience certain differences compared to the original Fortnite. There was a separate health bar for damage sustained in the storm, and players could earn a Victory Royale if they survived for long enough.

In other sad news, Dr Mario is also shutting down its servers which you can read more about here.

The post Fortnite: Chinese Version To Be Taken Down first appeared on Get2Gaming.

Developed by Respawn Entertainment, the beloved battle royale shooter Apex Legends will see its 11th season release on November 2nd. Till then, click here for the trailer and stick around for more information and hopefully my occasionally quirky inserts where I reference old British sitcoms and weird non-sequiturs when you least expect it… Rectangular water goat.

Information on the new tropical island map featured in the trailers was leaked by dataminers some months ago, so great to see the rumors confirmed and the location realised in all its morning glory. For all you lore-heads out there, the new stage is rumored to be planet Gaea, home to the deadly Carthage Spiders that may appear in gameplay as an environmental threat. Gaea is also the home planet of Rampart, Caustic and Crypto, as well as a playable location in Titanfall.

Oddly enough, this smells like Fortnite. Not only because I came across an in-game halloween giant spider piñata that freaked me out for a hot minute, but also because that game has wolves, boars and chickens roaming the world that you can hunt for useful items. Quite likely the Carthage Spiders will function similarly, “as a persistent map feature and threat” according to one dataminer. Heck, the trailer has a bloke barely fighting off some kinda alien lizard-tiger monster, so maybe there’ll be some kind of group PVE mode coming to Apex where you and the lads can go out communicating with nature… And monsters… With your gun… And grenades… But mostly the shooty-bang-bangs… Deadly Irish Honeycomb.

We’ll also be seeing Titanfall 2 villain Ash coming with Season 11, who serves as the overseer of Apex Legends’ Arena Mode, which you can find out more on here.

Respawn also announced in August plans to release a ‘next-gen update’ to Apex, though there’s currently no known release window.

The post Apex Legends New Map Info and More first appeared on Get2Gaming.

Thank Christ on a silver platter that Squid Game got as popular as it did so fast, now I have an excuse to crossover two of my favourite things: Gaming and the hit Netflix series Squid Game. Here’s some games I recommend for other fans of the show! Click on the highlighted subheadings for links to where you can get them on our page!

Overcooked

I dunno about you, but that episode with the honeycomb sure got me hungry. The art of cooking is a must, but unlike that particular episode, you won’t have to fly solo in Overcooked! In fact, it’s best with some good ol couch co-op or online play, as you and your partner(s) arrange how to tackle the incoming orders at a restaurant by divvying up responsibilities among eachother. Communication is key, speed is key and great food is definitely a nice Brucey bonus!

Mario Party Games

While this one may not have as high stakes as life-or-death struggles, you gotta admit the Front Man and the folks in charge of the Squid Game competitions are definitely a creative bunch. Maybe in another life, the billionaire masterminds behind the Squid Game would’ve found a new joi de vivre as a game designer, but that’s neither here nor there. Mario Party games will definitely scratch that itch for letting you take part in a wide variety of mini games with unique rules, be it with friends, family, enemies or frenemies!

Fortnite (figures, toys, board games and bundles)

Let’s not mince words. Between Squid Game, Hunger Games and PUBG, the battle royale genre (fittingly inspired by the classic book and film ‘Battle Royale’) definitely has its fingers in a lot of pop-culture pies. Fortnite is completely free to play on most platforms, but if you’re feeling like bringing some extra style to the battle field, buy our Last Laugh expansion bundles on Xbox or PS5 if you want to play with 3 character skins (Joker’s having multiple styles), some cool extra cosmetics and even 1000 Vbucks you can spend to get extra stuff in the in-game store!

Nier Automata Game of the YoRHa Edition

While a little more on the anime’d up post-apocalyptic existential sci-fi train than Squid Game, both properties have very well written mystery elements, a heaped tablespoon of philosophical and social commentary, plus a series of fittingly dramatic moments of tear-worthy crippling dread at the ruthlessness of the human species (and a tiny dash of optimism for good measure… maybe).

Kirby Battle Royale!

Basically the same joke as Fortnite, but also POYO!!!! And I swear, the Kirby Right Back At Ya theme song will live rent free in my brain hole until the day I die. Play Kirby Battle Royale with friends or in a fun little single-player campaign.

The Escapists 1+2

This one’s for those of you who’d be on the side of voting out of the titular Squid Games after the testicle-shrinkingly intense suspense of the red light green light game. What better way to get out of that scenario than a good ol fashioned prison escape game?

The post Must-Play Games for Squid Game Fans! first appeared on Get2Gaming.

Round up your mates and get your squad together as Ubisoft have just revealed their latest entry in the Ghost Recon franchise. Titled Ghost Recon Frontline, the game is a free-to-play, tactical action, massive PVP shooter grounded in the renowned Ghost Recon universe.

Revealed during a 20th anniversary showcase celebrating two decades since the original entry in the series, the title has been in the works for three years at Ubisoft Bucharest and will be available for PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5, Stadia and Luna. It will also feature cross-play so fans need not worry about the rest of their squad being on different platforms to them.

Here’s an opportunity to check out the action-packed trailer for yourself:

“A new take on the battle royale genre”

Ubisoft are hoping to jump on-board the ever-expanding list of developers getting involved with the battle royale genre. Having looked at the success of both Epic Games and Infinity Ward with their Fortnite and Warzone licences, the developer has clearly  thought what better way to get their foot through the door than with their Tom Clancy Ghost Recon franchise.

A series already  focused upon military tactics, Ghost Recon veterans should slip easily into battle-royale gameplay by having experience of being  in charge of conceived squads in previous Ghost Recon ventures.

“Unbound tactical freedom”

The game will be looking to put you in control of every strategic decision there is, giving free reigns for you and your fellow squad members to optimise your military tactics.

Speaking on the games website, Ubisoft have announced that “Ghost Recon Frontline features an advanced class system and large set of tactical support tools allowing for complete freedom in strategic gameplay, with multiple ways to outsmart enemy teams and win every fight.”

“Switch between different contractors, even in the heat of battle. Shape the battlefield around you by calling in tactical reinforcements such as deadly auto-turrets, smoke screen drones and massive barricades.”

“There is always more than one way to win, and it is entirely up to what kind of strategic approach you will take.”

Class-Based Squads

As already mentioned, the game will focus upon teaming up with other players from around the world to help put together a squad through a “deep and impactful class system”.

“Once players are done collecting intel, they will have to head to a drop zone and call for an extraction. When initiated, all teams will know the position of the extraction and will try to intervene, players will have to play tactically to successfully escape and win the match.”

“Featuring more than 100 players in teams of three, these squads will have to work together to complete dynamic objectives across the massive open map with no converging circle.”

No doubt this will cause debate amongst your squad as to who really is the tactical genius of the group, so let’s hope Ubisoft can make each member feel like they’ve got what it takes.

MASSIVE BATTLEGROUND

With 100+ players it should come as no surprise the game will feature a huge map for players to battle in.

The Ghost Recon Frontline website invites us to “Discover Drakemoor Island, an open world full of diverse environments at the heart of the conflict.”

“Consisting of multiple landmarks and distinct biomes, from high mountains to ruthless arid lands, and ever-changing weather conditions, Drakemoor Island requires unyielding adaptation.”

Take a look at the different environments of Drakemoor down below in the full announcement trailer:

Ubisoft are offering players the chance to be involved in a closed test for the game which will run from October 14-21 on PC in over 20 European countries. Players can register to participate here.

So that’s all we know about the Ghost Recon Frontline! If your yet to play any entry in the series, be sure to check them out here

Three Days Left…

The post Ubisoft reveal new Ghost Recon project: Here’s what to expect first appeared on Get2Gaming.

Call of Duty: Warzone was released back in early 2020 being one of the most anticipated releases at the time especially within the battle royale community. Its release took the battle royale scene by storm combining its Call of Duty first person shooter mechanics with the interesting battle royale features adding their own unique spin to it, making it a last man standing type of game, something that has never been done before within the Call of Duty franchise. Post-release they continue adding features to attempt to satisfy the Call of Duty: Warzone audience, including map changes, map additions, new operators, new finishers, new emotes and animations, new perks, new weaponry which are from Assault Rifles to Handguns to Melee weapons and many more other features and customisations. But it’s the new Combat Scout Perk that is the word on every Warzone player’s mouth and all for the wrong reasons.

What is the Combat Scout Perk?

With Warzone adding new features and customisations frequently, comes the most anticipated releases which are the new seasons. Call of Duty launched Season 5: Reloaded September 9^th on Warzone with a lot of high expectations. Collecting highly positive reviews and opinions but the one negative standing out is the Combat Scout Perk. The Combat Scout Perk is a new perk which allows players to track and highlight enemies for a short period of time by damaging them. It was released alongside the Tempered Perk in the Season 5 update. Formally being stated as “Damaging an enemy briefly highlights them for you and marks them for the entire squad”.

The new Combat Scout Perk looks great and not OP at all. pic.twitter.com/veGli1p2US

— CharlieIntel (@charlieINTEL) August 13, 2021

Whilst the Combat Scout Perk has a community of players against it, it also has a community of players that are for it, explaining that if there is a counter towards it, it should stand. That counter being another popular perk named as the Cold-Blooded Perk. “The Cold-Blooded perk makes you significantly harder to detect by enemies. Most AI targeting systems and thermal optics will not be able to find you, allowing for multiple surprise attacks that give you the advantage during enemy encounters”. This means that the Combat Scout Perk is completely ineffective towards users of the Cold-Blooded Perk which makes sense for the people who are for the Combat Scout Perk being in Call of Duty: Warzone.

What is next to come from Call of Duty: Warzone?

Besides the Combat Scout Perk being a controversial topic amongst the Warzone community, we do believe there may be slight adjustments to the perk without changing much that is major which will fit most Warzone players criteria. Now with the highly awaited Season 6: The Final Showdown coming out October 7^th which will feature loads of confirmed new content such as new weapons of different ranges, new operators, changes to the map (Verdansk), changes to the gulag and many more. We await to see if the changes to the Com bat Scout Perk that the fans are hoping for will come into play this week. Stay tuned in! Call of Duty: Warzone is about to get even better!

Fans have been speculating whether Halo Infinite would receive the battle royale treatment and this might just give us an answer…

Halo Infinite had its technical preview over the weekend which showcased its new multiplayer mode, and it the impressions it has received has been overwhelmingly positive. Yet something that has been discovered by betamines has made fans believe Halo Infinite could be receiving its on battle royale mode for when it releases in the holidays later this year.

Collectively, you slayed over 6M Bots during the second day of the #HaloInfinite technical preview! And to our top Bot slayers, very well done.

ODST Bots are still in the Arena today. The map Bazaar is now available for testing, and Spartan Bots are en route tomorrow. pic.twitter.com/lw77Eb4Mzp

Possibilities of a Battle Royale

Halo Infinite’s developers 343 Industries have denied the speculations of the game receiving a battle royale mode, yet there is now new evidence whcih gives strong indications that it might.

Spotted by PCGamesN, dataminers found spoilers relating to the single-player/co-op campaigns during the technical preview. They also found a voice file which contained Halo’s legendary announcer, Jeff Stitzer, in which he can clearly be heard saying the words “battle royale”.

Stitzer always announces the multiplayer mode when you’re playing Halo, so the fact he can be heard saying that begs to question why he would record if not to use in the game.

Well, it could have been made as a simple voice file to test with and has no intentions making it into the game, but with the success of battle royale games like Call of Duty: Warzone and Apex Legends, a franchise like Halo could do well by following in their footsteps. It’s a widely recogniseable franchise that would immedialely make it more appealing.

However, creating a battle royale mode for Halo Infinite would mean new maps would need to be create and a whole bunch of other technical considerations would be a concern too. If it does come to the long-awaited game, it might not be on the scale Warzone or Apex Legends is on.
