Battlefield 2042 Season 1 is currently set for release in early June.

DICE‘s troubled title Battlefield 2042 finally has a release date for it’s battle pass-style upcoming Season 1 update. Early June is the time but it can’t ever be set in stone with the quite frankly horrible start to Battlefield’s life cycle. Even before release this game has been in a downward spiral, with the open beta last summer that gave everyone access to try the game early being pretty much unplayable to multiple delays to the initial release date of the game Battlefield has taken many many hits but DICE and EA are trying to turn this around with multiple hotfixes and patches to build up to the release of Season 1.

• Buy Battlefield 2042 on Xbox!!!
• Buy Battlefield on PS5!!!

Season 1 is DICE and EA‘s attempt to copy the unbelievable success of Fortnite and Call of Duty Warzone‘s battle pass, a live service with plenty of features and unlockables for gamers to earn whilst playing with friends and against others in online competitive modes. Battlefield 2042 has taken such a reputation hit over the last 6 months with players leaving in droves with the PC edition of the game dropping below 1,000 concurrent players in April, a truly shocking amount from such a popular run of titles, Battlefield Bad Company 2, Battlefield 1, 4 and 5 all being massive successes for DICE and their publisher EA.

EA CEO Andrew Wilson was quoted last week.

This is one of the great franchises of our industry, built by one of the great teams in the industry, and our expectations are it’s going to continue to grow and be a really important part of our portfolio for many, many years to come.

This comes after many fans suggesting that EA and DICE have given up the crumbling franchise after flagship Halo Infinite was released with fans loving the newest addition to the long running franchise. Andrew Wilson had denied claims that Halo Infinite made Battlefields issues look more prominent after Halo’s impromptu release of a free multiplayer for all Xbox players.

Through all the stumbles EA are hell bent on sticking with Battlefield 2042 with multiple quality of life updates and listening to fans requests to add features that were expected such as a dynamic leaderboard to check on your stats mid-game(something that should’ve been featured since release). So does the future finally look bright for Battlefield 2042.

Activision’s biggest franchise is already garnering hype as they return to the Modern Warfare series with the supposed date for their trailer, alpha test and possible release date being leaked!

Well, it’s the time of year again! the Call of Duty hype train arrives with many ready for a big improvement after the failures of the two previous titles, Black Ops Cold War and Vanguard. As many have fallen out of favour with the FPS genre Activision and Infinity Ward are hoping to turn their fortunes around with the sequel to the highly successful Modern Warfare (released in 2019).

On April 28th, Infinity Ward revealed to the world the logo for the upcoming title and had fans wanting more information.

They’re reports suggesting that some snippets and teasers of the game could be revealed as soon as the 2nd June, this has surprised many because fans thought they would expect to wait until Summer Game Fest 2022 which starts the following week (10th June) for all the information. Following the teasers a suspected official reveal trailer will arrive on the 8th June with huge details on the games campaign being revealed at the Summer Game Fest. Great news for fans as we are not that far away from news coming our way.

As we power through the summer of games being revealed and release dates being pushed back, game developers will need you to turn that console on and test their games out for them with public Alpha and Beta tests. The Call of Duty Franchise have always had tests to make sure their game is full functioning before release, rumours are that a possible Alpha test for Modern Warfare 2 could be dropping mid-August. For the last 5 years PlayStation have had a contract with Activision where the platform will get new and exclusive content before the competitors and that will continue up until 2023, so if you are on the PlayStation 5 you could get your hands on Modern Warfare 2 before anyone else. But for Xbox gamers don’t be down because you will also get your hands on the tests possibly weeks after Sony players and with Microsoft’s gigantic acquisition of Activision for $68 million, Call of Duty’s exclusivity contract will probably be on the Xbox platform after 2023.

The reported release date for Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 is October 2022.

No news if Infinity Ward will continue to release their games on the old generation consoles with Xbox One and PS4 players increasingly worried on the silence from Activision’s side of things. Lastly, the big blockbuster game mode Warzone that kept us all enthralled through the last couple of years could be getting a sequel following the games release. The latest rumour is that Warzone 2 could be releasing late 2022 or most likely early 2023.

The post Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Reveal Date Reportedly Leaked! first appeared on Get2Gaming.

Activision has revealed the release date for Caldera, the next new map for Call of Duty: Warzone that will replace the current Verdansk level and add dogfighting to the game

Release Date for Call of Duty’s New Map

Caldera will be released on December 2nd, the same day that Season 1 of the Warzone Pacific era begins. Anyone who owns Call of Duty: Vanguard will have 24 hours of early access.

The map will be located in the Pacific, as VGC announced exclusively in June. Raven Software confirmed this in September, stating that it would contain entirely new locales and will share new engine technology with Vanguard, which is powered by an upgraded version of the Modern Warfare engine.

Activision outlined the ideas for Warzone’s new Pacific era and the resultant devastation of the Verdansk map in a blog post describing all their plans for Call of Duty: Vanguard.

New Events in Call of Duty: Warzone

On November 18, a new limited-time mode named Operation: Flashback will be released, enabling players to relive the last 18 months on the Verdasnk battlefield. Players will receive an insignia for participating, and if they win, they will receive an animated calling card.

Then, from the 24^th of  November, a new Secrets of the Pacific event will begin. This event has been created by Beenox. It will allow players to learn more about Caldera and its attractions by completing tasks in both Warzone and Vanguard.

According to Activision, “the destruction begins” on November 30 with another Beenox-created event that would deliver “a spectacular and fitting end to your time in Verdansk as we say farewell to the Kastovian city… forever?”

On December 2nd, the Warzone Pacific era and the Caldera map will be officially released (with Vanguard players able to access it from December 1st). When Season 1 is released on December 2nd, users will have access to a Vanguard Royale playlist that will feature all of the new stuff from the update, such as biplanes and anti-air vehicles.

Activision Promises Progression Will Carry Over Across Call of Duty Titles

Activision promises players that following Vanguard’s integration, all Operators from Vanguard, Black Ops Cold War, and Modern Warfare will be able to be employed throughout all of Warzone.

“Your progression – for your Player Level, Battle Pass system, and so on – is synchronised across Vanguard, Black Ops Cold War, Modern Warfare, and Warzone Pacific, and the Seasonal Levelling and Prestige System will return,” it adds.

They then went on to say, “This also means your level will reset to Military Rank 1 within all games, but this only applies to XP – all content you previously unlocked will still be available.”

Call of Duty: Vanguard launches on November 5th for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC, and is available to pre-order in our store now! Read all about the latest Call of Duty news and updates here!

The post Release Date for New Call of Duty Warzone Map: Caldera 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”.

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!
