Additionally, players will also gain the ability to unleash a small nuclear blast on zombies by flopping on the ground. The original golden feature of the perk is back – and the distance players fall after sprinting and diving to flop on the ground will determine the damage and range of the blast. Players can use this blast to quickly drop large groups of zombies if a small elevated platform is available to dive f

What really puts the Vtol Jet on a whole different level compared to its competition though, is how it allows the player to control a map. For example, if someone were to order the jet to provide covering fire over the center of a map like Favela , they can then travel around the outskirts of the map on foot to seek out anyone who’s hiding, giving the enemy nowhere to run. It’s also very durable for only ten kills, and the speed at which it moves around the map makes it extremely effective for both objective modes, and regular Team Deathma

This third entry in the now-bloated first-person franchise does feature an open world, though it still features a solid story and a few entirely linear sections. One of these sections is an on-rails sequence towards the end of the g

The undead in particular deal serious melee damage, and walking across certain spots will cause them to teleport in. Worse still are the zombies armed with shotguns, as they fire them rapidly with no need to reload. While they can have their guns knocked out of their hands by being shot, shooting their heads is the only way to kill them. All of this made the ‘Mansion’ level almost unbearable. For countless players, the amount of cheap jump-scares and sudden ambushes made this level both frightening and frustrating. Playing it on Hard mode is a considerable feat, due to countless zombies abruptly teleporting in with shotguns in-h

Towards the end of the game, Metal Gear Solid throws players in the back of a jeep, tasked with shooting down enemies with a gun turret. While some may find this section frustrating, Metal Gear Solid’s climactic jeep escape sequence is a brilliant set-piece. Furthermore, this sequence features a suitably dramatic piece of music that’s extremely memora

Since this applies to the entire team, it means that all players will be able to outsmart the enemy by avoiding their sightlines and getting the drop on them from behind. What’s more is, the Advanced UAV can’t even be targeted, and considering it lasts an incredibly long duration, it would be considered pretty FPS Game strategy-breaking if it was even slightly cheaper than it already

Accessible only via cheats, the level features a pillar with faces on it. As it clips through the level’s walls, the pillar eventually travels out of bounds before crashing the game (in the aforementioned source port, the player is thrust back to the main menu instead). Before this happens, a doodle of a flying block floating out of the level and into the void exclaiming “I’M FREE!” will be shown on-screen. This was drawn by the developers as they found the glitch to be very funny, and went so far as to scan the doodle and implement it into the game as a quirky gag before the title would close and send players back to

In its report, Wired claims that MW3 ‘s Yokai’s Wrath bundle from last December was made with generative AI . It’s not clear which part of the bundle was supposedly made with AI, as the kit includes several elements, such as an Operator skin and weapon blueprint. The skin was sold for $15 USD in MW3 ‘s in-game store, which makes no mention of it being made with generative AI. Wired’s report also claims that Activision’s 2D artists are being “forced” to use AI, following mass layoffs within these te

The original TimeSplitters didn’t have much going on in terms of its story. Each of its missions involved rushing into a heavily-defended location, collecting a special item, and rushing back to the collection point while the titular extraterrestrial creatures begin to teleport in and attack. Taking place in the past and futuristic locations, one of the levels is a horror-themed haunted house filled with zombies and mutants. It’s just the kind of place that would be filled with shock and horr

The Battlefield franchise may not be as well known for its single-player campaign as its destructive multiplayer, but many of the games in the long-running series have featured strong, linear campaigns with dramatic story missi

The Metal Gear Solid franchise is arguably one of the most influential combinations of action and stealth in video games. While its sequels, Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons Of Liberty and Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater are tremendous games, there’s something to be said about the original game’s ch

AI poses an obvious risk to the careers and livelihoods of the creative minds behind video games. A for-profit company, especially one that is publicly traded, has a marked interest in reducing operating costs, which in turn increases profit and market growth. In other words, mammoth companies like Activision don’t shy away from mass layoffs , slashing the costs associated with human labor. If these companies view generative AI as a way to offset this loss of talent, making game assets in a more cost-effective way, they will almost certainly chase this strategy—an approach to business that seems remarkably cynical and short-sigh
