Impressions: Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 Campaign - Switch 2 Does Its Best With One Hell Of A 'Popcorn Game'
Chutes too narrow? Nearly 13 years since Nintendo gamers last had the chance to answer the Call of Duty (2013's Ghosts on Wii U, RIP), Activision has finally redeployed this storied series on Nintendo platforms. Given the technical gulf between Switch 2 and competition, not to mention PC, the cynical among us might have read Microsoft's agreement to bring the series to a Nintendo console day-and-date with other platforms and expected a compromised, box-ticking Switch port. Something patched up and pushed out with reduced player counts and missing modes, technically running on the handheld, but barely. Read the full article on nintendolife.com

"We were wrong": Wardogs devs end Season 2's team-specific cash and XP bonus experiment after a single, tumultuous day
Season 2 of Wardogs , the multiplayer sandbox FPS currently blasting and/or politely driving its way through early access, introduced an un usual "social experiment" when it launched yesterday. In an attempt to rehabilitate the reputation of its Lonestar faction, a.k.a the infamous Blue Team, developers Bulkhead began granting bonus XP and cash – the latter being the upgrade-focused game’s lifeblood – to Blue players alone. The hypothesis, apparently, was that more skilled players would give Lonestar a chance, helping boost its dismal winrates and perhaps improve its tarnished image. One day in, then, how’s it going? “We were wrong. We fucked up,” says Bulkhead CEO Joe Brammer in a video announcing the bonus scheme’s immediate cancellation. Ah! Read more

This is how I assume things will go if I boot up The Blood of Dawnwalker once its 1.1 update debuts.
