There might be no in “I” in Call of Duty, but from World War II in Normandy to World War III on Manhattan’s East River the axiom has only amplified: killing - the “K/D” is king. Treyarch hopes to reverse this individualistic mindset in Call of Duty: Black Ops II. Speaking to Eurogamer, design director David Vonderhaar outlined several of the new multiplayer changes announced for the game at last week’s Gamescom - each of them aimed at fostering a team-based culture....

Like the challenge tied to the Sledgehammer, the other melee weapon added in Season 1, players will need to complete a melee-related objective to get the Wakizashi Sword to unlock. A flashier version of the combat knife, the long blade gives players an increased melee range that comes with the cost of sacrificing some speed. For players interested in wielding a sword in their Call of Duty matches, there are a few ways that they can go about making the weapon’s unlock challenge easier....

Big Sky Season 2 sees the ABC show make some changes. The new series sees a number of new cast members join the show, and the plot sees Cassie and Jenny move in separate directions—until another crime scene sees their paths cross again. While the plot of the new season will see the pair investigating a new threat, a number of their previous adversaries are back to cause more trouble—and as ever with Big Sky, murder is on the cards for any member of the main cast at any time....

Yelena is not exactly Natasha’s sister, as the movie explains, but the pair’s bond is not easily broken. In fact, some are expecting Yelena will take on the role of Black Widow in upcoming films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Will Yelena Become the New Black Widow? Ahead are spoilers for Black Widow. Florence Pugh has spoken to Comic Book, where she confirmed she would be stepping into the role....

The athlete, known as the Blade Runner, looked humiliated when he was asked to remove his prosthetic limbs to expose his stumps to the televised hearing which will decide his murder sentence. His T-shirt wet with sweat and his red eyes filled with tears, Pistorius paused at the side of the court to remove his prosthetic limbs in full view of the packed court. The spectacle of the one-time sporting superstar tottering across the court room prompted a number of family members, fans and members of the public to break down in tears....

WWE.COM: For the record, how would you describe your relationship with Blake & Murphy? ALEXA BLISS: Let me put this in terms so that even you can understand. I’ll describe it in one word: over. Blake, Murphy and I used to be best friends. They helped me discover who I am. They taught me that Bliss was good, but bad is better. Because of the boys, I was able to really express who I am, instead of being the pixie princess I was pretending to be....

How the ending of Blood of Zeus sets up Season 2 WARNING: The following contains major spoilers for Blood of Zeus on Netflix. The ending of Blood of Zeus revolved around three major sort-of-deaths that should have a huge impact if there is a Season 2 of the Netflix anime: Seraphim (voiced by Elias Toufexis), Hera (Claudia Christian) and Zeus (Jason O’Mara). In the series, Heron (Derek Phillips) is tasked by his father Zeus to obtain a cauldron that can take the Giant’s energy, allowing its user to control them and thus end the long-running battles between the Gods and Giants....

Naomi and Sasha Banks walked out of the Stamford-based promotion in 2022 after reportedly having a dispute with the creative team. The duo was forced to vacate the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships. The wrestling world on Twitter also reacted to reports of WWE being interested in bringing back the former WWE SmackDown Women’s Champion. Multiple Twitter users suggested that the former Funkadactyl could join forces with The Bloodline....

Although this is a small sample size, his numbers have been more than impressive in this span. This also comes at a crucial time for the Toronto Blue Jays, who are postseason contenders. They currently hold an American League Wild Card spot, but there are a lot of teams that could potentially take them over if they collapse. Bo Bichette has put up some solid numbers this season for the Blue Jays....

[HTML1] Easily one of the most well-received additions to Borderlands 2, it seems Tiny Tina’s time in the spotlight is far from over. After bringing an unrivaled level of quirk and insanity to the Borderlands formula, Gearbox Software decided she wasn’t just a fun side character, but deserving of her very own DLC adventure - Tiny Tina’s Assault on Dragon Keep, posing the diminutive craftsman as the dungeonmaster of an epic fantasy adventure....

Why #BoycottBlizzard? The games’ developed by Activision Blizzard have some of the most diehard fan bases of any company in the industry. Before Blizzard was acquired by Activision and had investment with Chinese technology firm Tencent, the company was one of the most popular and beloved publishers the world over. Blizzcon, a yearly celebration for Blizzard games and their community, has been going strong since 2005. Sentiments have been eroding for years, but 2019 has been a tough time for those who still believe in the Blizzard of yore....

Beijing is set to host the 24th edition of the Winter Olympics between February 4 and February 20 next year, becoming the first city in the world to host the Summer and Winter Games—it played host to the 2008 Olympics—as China welcomes the Winter Olympics for the first time. The Chinese government, however, has drawn scathing criticism from the West for its mass internment of Uyghur Muslims in the western region of Xinjiang and its violent clampdown of protests in Hong Kong....

The actor told Access Hollywood: “We talked about what’s happening in this country and we talked about the shift of consciousness going on. They had four episodes all ready to go, and they just threw them in the trash. It’s like, ‘We have to start over.’” The America’s Got Talent host added: “We’ve had a lot of somber talks and very deep conversations. Through this we hope to bring something that will be truly groundbreaking this year....

In a post to the Am I the A******? (AITA) forum on December 17, user u/grandvizierofswag said his friend has “lots of positive qualities,” but is not very attractive. “He has a solid job making $180k with a company car as a surgical device sales rep (at 22!) after graduating magna cum laude,” he wrote. “He is generally affable and easy to talk to. However, physically, and I know I’m being brutal here, he is not a catch....

But it’s where Madison Bumgarner’s fans are cheering the loudest. And where an audible sigh rang through the bar and restaurant when the Giants’ ace fielded a bunt and threw erratically to a sprawling Pablo Sandoval at third base. It was one of the few blemishes on Bumgarner’s postseason resume, one that is surprisingly lengthy for a 25-year-old. “You should have been here when they won the World Series,” bartender Brian Gaumer said after the play that gave the Nationals a 2-0 lead Monday, their first of the NLDS....

So far, though, it’s hard to parse out what is and what isn’t legitimate. Some leakers claim the Advanced Warfare campaign takes only 5 hours to complete, while others question the validity of those claims. It’s not unreasonable for a Call of Duty game to have a short campaign – most typically take about 8 hours to get through – but that seems significantly shorter than past games. One leak that appears to be the most legitimate of the bunch has to do with the game’s multiplayer maps....

[HTML2] As promised, Activision took the stage in Cologne, Germany to give Gamescom attendees and livestreamers their first look at the Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare multiplayer in action. These multiplayer reveals have become an major event for Call of Duty over the past years, and Advanced Warfare’s multiplayer debut was no different. Coming off the official reveal of AW a few months back, we had questions and new developer Sledgehammer Games had answers....

This isn’t the first time I’ve been disconnected during Destiny. Most of the dozen or so times it occurred during a co-op Strike mission or during PvP Crucible matches, making it a real problem for consumers. It’s a real problem that most of the time is a server-side issue on Bungie and publisher Activision’s end. The online-only Destiny managed to launch without any major server downtime, a refreshing change from other recent unnecessarily-always-online launches including Diablo 3 and SimCity, but that’s not necessarily what occurred yesterday....

The top 20 list of activity follows: Always interesting knowing what people are playing the most. No surprise Halo: Reach finds itself in the top three with Halo 3 in seventh place. Unusually enough, Battlefield: Bad Company 2 finds itself woefully in seventeenth place, a shame for such a great online shooter. Even more surprising is the vast quantities of people who are playing titles from long yesteryear: Call of Duty 4, World at War, and even Grand Theft Auto IV find temselves beating Red Dead Redemption, which just released its ‘Undead Nightmare’ DLC....

[HTML1] Over the weekend, we reported that the multiplayer component of Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 would be revealed on August 7th. With the day now upon us, Treyarch has released the first multiplayer footage from the game (above) – and damn does it look good! Judging by the trailer, Black Ops 2’s multiplayer will take place exclusively in the year 2025. A handful of futuristic weapons and gadgets are shown off, such as x-ray scopes and the Guardian – a mobile suppression unit that blasts players with what we suspect to be heat....
