Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Remastered Listing Spotted
An Amazon listing for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Remastered has appeared, with a release date of April 30th. As spotted by IGN Italia, listings for both Xbox One and PS4 versions of the game have been added to Amazon Italy, with prices of €19.99 (approximately $25 USD / £17 / $31 AUD). As with every early listing, this is most likely a placeholder. The listed release date would indicate an unusually small time between announcement and release – for comparison, the original Modern Warfare Remastered saw a six-month gap after being officially revealed. If this listing proves to be true, it would seem to indicate that this will be a standalone release, rather than a special edition bonus with a new Call of Duty installment. I still think that Modern Warfare 2 Remastered would launch in 2019 when Infinity Ward will be releasing their COD title as 2018 belongs to Treyarch’s Black Ops 4 and it’d be odd for a Treyarch title to launch with an IW Remaster. We’ll find out soon enough.
In less than 12 hours, Fortnite became the No. 1 iPhone app
Yesterday, Epic Games sent out its first waves of Fortnite on mobile invites for iOS users and it is already breaking records right away. In less than 12 hours Fortnite became the No. 1 iPhone app (not just game) in 13 countries according to Sensor Tower. Epic Games still haven’t sent out the rest of the invites for iOS users so I’m sure the title will continue to grow and dominate the Apple Store. What do you think of Fortnite on Mobile? Source
A total redesign of Star Wars BF2 progression system announced by EA
Today, EA have announced that the Star Wars Battlefront 2 Progression update, which includes a complete re-design of the in game progression system, will be rolling out next week on March 21st. With this update, progression is now linear. Star Cards, or any other item impacting gameplay, will only be earned through gameplay and will not be available for purchase. Instead, you’ll earn experience points for the classes, hero characters, and ships that you choose to play in multiplayer. If you earn enough experience points to gain a level for that unit, you’ll receive one Skill Point that can be used to unlock or upgrade the eligible Star Card you’d like to equip. You’ll keep everything you’ve already earned and unlocked. You will keep all of the Star Cards, heroes, weapons, or anything else you have already earned. What you have earned will still be available to use with this update regardless of how much or little progress you have already made. Crates no longer include Star Cards and cannot be purchased. Crates are earned by logging in daily, completing Milestones, and through timed challenges. Inside of these crates, you’ll find Credits or cosmetic items, such as emotes or victory poses, but nothing that impacts gameplay. Starting in April, you’ll be able to get appearances directly through in-game Credits or Crystals. The first new appearances are coming soon, meaning you’ll be able to grab new looks for your heroes and troopers directly by using either Credits (earned in-game) or Crystals (available to purchase in-game and through first-party stores). If you’ve ever dreamed of being a part of the Resistance as a Rodian, your chance is right around the corner. The Star Wars Battlefront II Progression Update releases on March 21, with more content rolling out in the following weeks.
