As the
U.S. Trademark Electronic Search System (TESS) shows, Activision has filed
for a trademark for Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, which seems like a pretty
strong confirmation of the
recent
indication that this will be the title of the next installment in the Call of
Duty series of military first-person shooters. Thanks

Videogamer, where they
also note a
tweet from
Jim Sterling suggesting this new game will be officially announced at some
point before Tuesday. Also,
GameSpot notes that David Price promoting this, so apparently Curt Schilling
has not completely destroyed the market for Red Sox pitchers to hype games.
A wave of
Team Fortress 2 bans have come down as the result of a new free
and premium hack for the first-person shooter that was recently added to the
Valve Anti-Cheat detection list, catching some professional players in the
process, reports
PCGamesN. The cheat has apparently been in the wild for more than a year,
and some of the bans are "backdated" from prior abuse of the "lmaobox" cheat.
They have some of the excuses provided by the cheaters, in case you want
your head to explode ("I wanted to be good, and that was the best way to do
it.").
This tweet explains the impact of a new patch that's now available for the
Windows 10 edition of
Quantum Break. Word is: "The Windows10 TU2 for
@QuantumBreak is out. Frame pacing fixed. Film grain on/off. Upscaling on/off,
but performance takes a hit when off." The ensuing comments indicate the patch
is reported as a staggering 27 GB download, and it may actually be even larger
than that.
This forum post has the updated "state of the game" following the patch.
Thanks
DSOGaming.
Battle.net announces that
Season 6 is now live in
Diablo III, offering new time-sensitive
challenges in the action/RPG sequel. Here's word:
Diablo III Season 6 is
now live in all gameplay regions! To create a Seasonal hero, select your class,
gender, and name as usual, then select the "Seasonal Hero" checkbox on the lower
left of the screen.
What Are Seasons?
Seasons are an optional, recurring game mode that offers PC players the
opportunity to periodically start fresh, leveling new Normal or Hardcore heroes
from level 1 without any currency, resources, items, or previously earned
Paragon experience. Similar to the separation between Normal and Hardcore game
modes, Seasonal heroes will also have their own shared stash and Artisan
progression. Any currency, materials, recipes, items, Paragon experience, and
Artisan progression earned during a Season will be rolled over to a player's
non-Seasonal profile once the Season concludes.
Season 6 will offer unique rewards and new challenges for players, including new
cosmetic items, pieces of an exclusive Transmogrification set only available to
those who participate in Seasons, and Season-only achievements called Conquests.
Progress within a given Season will also be tracked on the Leaderboard system,
and in the Seasons Journey interface.
To learn more about Season 6, check out our
Journey and
Rewards
previews.
Well, the NFL draft doesn't feel like Christmas to this Giants fan, though it's
hard to argue with Eli Apple, just from a name standpoint. Of course the real
verdict is years off, and it could turn out they have already picked up three
future hall-of-famers, will pick up three more today, and this will be the best
draft in history. What the heck, I vote for that!
