When Battlefield 6 launched a month and a half ago, one of its most anticipated features basically didn’t work. The Portal server browser was a dumpster fire at first, hosting dozens upon dozens of lazy XP farms that clogged up EA’s servers so bad you couldn’t even start your own friend lobby. Then, DICE nerfed […]

Electronic Arts announced last week that a free trial for Battlefield 6, “the best selling shooter of 2025” (a bold claim given that it’s still ongoing), would get underway on November 25. Well, today is November 25, and yeah, you can probably see where I’m going with this. The Battlefield 6 free trial is live! […]

Troubled team-based shooter Splitgate 2 is coming back earlier than expected: Rather than re-launching in 2026 as originally planned, developer 1047 Games says the beta servers will be taken offline on December 4, and a full-on re-release will follow later in the month. “Thank you to everyone who participated in the Splitgate 2 Beta!” the […]

You know the emergency lights are blinking at Bungie when the developer starts putting out balance changes with triple digit percent buffs in a bid to lure Destiny 2’s dwindling playerbase back. That was the case with yesterday’s ability tuning blog, which saw the Hunter class eating especially well. (About time too.) Today, attention turned […]

It’s been well established on this website that Battlefield 6’s transport jeep is an abomination. Not only is the Light Ground Transport (LGT) bad at its only job of safely transporting players from A to B, but despite its high mobility and machinegun nest, its lack of armor plating means your chance of survival goes […]

Escape From Tarkov released on Steam on November 15, taking the excellent extraction shooter out of beta after a mere eight years, and almost immediately had a bit of a wobble. Players found themselves unable to log in, with demand being such that developer Battlestate Games acknowledged severe server woes, and then came the inevitable […]

After 13 years hacking through the development wilderness, TimeSplitters Rewind is out. Its creators revealed last month that the CryEngine-powered mod would finally be released in November. True to their word, Rewind is available to download now. Rewind is a somewhat unusual fan project, a mixture of remake, compilation and spiritual successor to the first […]

One of the coolest things about Half-Life 2 is its physics engine, but as anyone who has played a physics-based game will know, even the best-in-class tech is prone to quirks here and there. Valve’s legendary narrative shooter was no exception, as former Valve developer Tom Forsyth shared in a thread on Mastodon. In the […]

While a lack of voice chat wasn’t the biggest problem with FBC: Firebreak when it released in June, it was certainly one of the issues that led it to fall flat with myself and players in general. Given Firebreak is a cooperative shooter where teamwork is crucial to survival, being able to communicate with friends […]

Doom: The Dark Ages received a whole new mode back in August—the wave-based “Ripatorium” that allows players to build their own demonic encounters. But it seems id Software has had a rethink about the Ripatorium, as The Dark Ages’ latest update substantially overhauls how it works. While update 2.3 is mainly Ripatorium focussed, it’s worth […]

While its launch was a massive success, in the weeks and months since, Borderlands 4 hasn’t had the best of times. Small issues and bugs have been piling up, the Halloween event was a flop, and we’ve all been frustrated with the lack of an endgame. All of this stacking up before the launch of […]

Deciding to get healthier in 2025 came with no shortage of sacrifices I was prepared to make, but I did not anticipate one of would be Call of Duty double XP. It’s been a good decade and change since I was last super into Call of Duty, but much like a churchgoer who only shows […]

Sony said earlier this month that Marathon, Bungie’s super-sexy but deeply troubled extraction shooter, is coming out one way or the other in March 2026, and it’ll clean up the mess—that is, “make corrections”—as needed once it’s out the door. But it’s still making corrections before that, too, and interested run-and-gunners will have a chance […]

In the run up to the reveal of Darktide’s latest new class, speculation has run rampant in the community. A week’s delay on the announcement only created more space for fans to stretch their imaginations, placing their bets on everything from a Sister of Battle to a kroot warrior to an Adeptus Mechanicus tech priest. […]

Life as an Engineer in Battlefield 6 can be unforgiving, especially if you’re on defense. Spending all your time, energy, and resources on killing a gaggle of tanks with a whole squad of Engineers behind them can, at times, feel like a worse fate than Sisyphus rolling his boulder up a hill; at least he […]

Half-Life 3 fever has been running hot this week, for reasons—and I use that term loosely—we laid out here, which can very generally be described as “it’s November and we’re all a little bored and restless.” One small bit of pseudo-evidence did catch my eye, though: As PC Gamer’s freest man Tyler Wilde noted, “Geoff […]

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide – Hive Scum Class Reveal | Cinematic Trailer – YouTube Watch On Normally crime happens before the police arrive, but Darktide’s done things a little bit differently. Its first DLC class was the law-enforcing Arbites, and its second has just been announced as the law-breaking Hive Scum. Though technically, the Hive Scum […]

Half-Life 3 fever has once again broken out across social media, and the Half-Life subreddit is full of both earnestly hopeful and sarcastically dismissive posts about the supposedly imminent announcement of a sequel to Valve’s landmark 2004 shooter—probably the most speculated-about game ever not to exist. You might think that all this anticipation was prompted […]

La Lupa | Vendetta Hero Trailer | Overwatch 2 – YouTube Watch On Ever since the debut trailer for Overwatch 2’s new gladiator hero Vendetta, players have been desperately trying to pick it apart to divine what role she’ll fit into. Nobody thinks the lady with the big deadly sword is a healer, but they […]

Team Jade released a new trailer for its military FPS Delta Force earlier today, kicking off the new ‘Asarah’ Season that introduces a new map for its Battlefield-style Warfare mode and an event for its extraction-themed Operations mode. Soon after the Chinese company came under fire from the COO of Facepunch Studios, Alistair McFarlane, as […]

The latest update for Battlefield 6 adds new seasonal content for the main multiplayer and Redsec. And to celebrate all this new content, Battlefield 6 will also be putting on a free-to-play event for a week, to show off some specific maps and modes. “Later this month, players can jump into Battlefield 6 via a […]
