Image
Infinity Ward has addressed the state of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4's time to kill and tweaked a handful of weapons in a new beta update. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4's beta is coming to a close, but Infinity Ward is still updating the hell out of it. The latest update was pushed this morning before the beta officially winds down tomorrow. Per the patch notes , a bunch of weapons have been tuned following feedback from fans, including the ISO Nightshade SMG, which got a slight buff with damage improvements. The PPSH, Krait P68, Han 86, and Hyeon Burst all got various buffs as well, with the latter's headshot damage multiplier increasing from 1 to 1.1. A handful of weapons got nerfed, but the most notable hit was taken by the M4 Hurricane variant, which had its damage decreased.

Image
Dean Hall, creator of zombie survival game DayZ and founder of RocketWerkz, seems to have a complicated relationship with his biggest hit, which was first released as a mod for Arma 2 in 2012. "When DayZ happened, it was like dying," Hall told PC Gamer . "It ended my old life. My relationship with everyone who I knew up to that point changed completely." "It was obviously an amazing thing that happened to me," he added. "I loved making the mod, and I loved that feeling, and I've been chasing it ever since." The game started life as a mod for Arma 2 and its expansion pack Operation Arrowhead and was so popular with gamers that just a few months later Hall announced that Arma 2 developer Bohemia Interactive was creating a standalone version of the game , with Hall as project lead. "People think I'm a game developer who came up from [being] a modder, and I would say I'm a modder who makes games during the day," Hall added. ...

GTA 5's Michael Actor Defends GTA 6 After Doubters Say Rockstar's Games Look Too Similar

Image
Ned Luke, the actor behind Grand Theft Auto 5 's Michael De Santa, said people who think Grand Theft Auto 6 looks too much like GTA 5 are "out of their minds." Luke has remained an important figure in the GTA community since he first appeared as one of three playable professional criminals in the 2013 installment. Now that he and the rest of the world have gotten a closer look at what Rockstar Games is cooking up with GTA 6, he's stepped in to defend it from the naysayers. One of the many, many talking points to emerge in the wake of last week's GTA 6: Extended Look was that playing as protagonists Jason and Lucia looked a little too similar to the kind of gameplay one could expect from GTA 5.
