Jagged Alliance 2 is still one of the best turn-based squad tactics games around, its own sequels falling short of its consummate majesty. Part XCOM, part A-Team, players manage and command a ragtag band of vaguely cartoonish mercenaries on a mission to liberate an impoverished banana republic from its tyrannical queen. JA2 has also spawned an insular but extremely productive mod scene, mostly on The Bear’s Pit forums. While their output has tapered off in the past year or two, and site reshuffles have made some older mods hard to access, it’s hard to go wrong with Jagged Alliance 2 v1.13. Military Contracting For Dummies First, though, a quick guide to updating the game to modern, widescreen Windows 10 spec.

Battlefield 5 dev politely asks Treyarch to unban him from Black Ops 4
As the leading triple-A military shooters, Battlefield and Call of Duty have waged war on multiple platforms for most of the past decade. That’s why a certain player’s recent ban comes with a bit of irony – Florian Le Bihan, core gameplay designer at DICE on Battlefield V, just got banned from Treyarch’s Black Ops 4. Of course, Le Bihan isn’t just a DICE dev. He’s also a former esports pro who played for Fnatic, and by all appearances it looks like he’s gotten banned because he’s too gosh-darned good at shooters. If you look at some of the examples of that gameplay in a video below, you might get an idea of why plenty of commenters are referring to him as a human aimbot. In one Reddit thread, a handful of fellow DICE devs have chimed in. One says “We’ve had internal conquest playtests where player #2 for has 40 kills, and above him is Florian is with a cool 130.” Another says “I think he’s playing with one … [Read more...] about Battlefield 5 dev politely asks Treyarch to unban him from Black Ops 4

Call of Duty: Black Ops 4: release date, zombies, trailer, beta, gameplay – all the latest details
Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 is the next title in Activision’s illustrious FPS series. It is set between the events of Black Ops 2 and 3, but marks a huge departure for Call of Duty in that it’s the first entry to not feature a traditional campaign. In its place is a battle royale mode called Blackout, which joins the core multiplayer and zombie mode to make it the most multiplayer-focused COD yet. Owing to its setting, Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 promises a return to a near-future where drone warfare is commonplace – not quite boots on the ground, but not space warfare either. Working on the 15th instalment in the main series, and the first with a story arc to make it past three games (four if you count World at War), developer Treyarch will have a tough job shrugging off any series weariness while still appealing to hardcore Call of Duty players. So, what can we expect from Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 when it deploys on PC? Here is everything we know about Black Ops 4, … [Read more...] about Call of Duty: Black Ops 4: release date, zombies, trailer, beta, gameplay – all the latest details
