Here at Mods R Us, we had a lot of fun with Star Wars Battlefront, even if it was severely lacking in content. But a recent trailer was just released that showed, this time EA is not messing around.
The trailer shows off just how much more content Star Wars Battlefront 2 has over its predecessor. Of course, we all know that this time there is a full on story mode, but they actually had a pretty interesting chart in this trailer that showed just how much new content there would be. Locations have been increased from 4 to 18 and they are going to span all three eras of Star Wars movies. There are now 39 different vehicles whereas there were only 11 in the original Star Wars Battlefront.
There is also going to be a ton more Star Wars characters to play as. Star Wars Battlefront will have 14 different heroes and villains from the Star Wars universe for you to play as. The last Battlefront game only had 6 (not counting DLC) Star Wars characters to play as. Once again all 14 characters are going to represent the whole Star Wars saga which is really cool.
EA have also accounted that there will be fewer game modes this time. Star Wars Battlefront 2 will have 5 different game modes, the last Battlefront game had 9. But to be fair some of these modes were very, very similar so getting rid of those and just making the five they have all feel different is ok in our book.
There have been some pretty big hitters when it comes to first person shooters released in the last 24 months. Games like Overwatch, Doom, Battlefront 2, COD WW II and even Titanfall 2 are making sure the FPS genre is front and center. With all the big games being released in such a short time, some will always get lost in the shuffle, one of these we feel is Quake Champions!
How is a new Quake game not a bigger deal? It is being made by Bethesda and ID so it is sure to be a lot of fun and while we have not been part of the beta or the early access. From what we have seen and heard, those who have taken part are having an awesome time. Quake Champions is going to offer a “free to play” model which may be what has made some people decide to not bother with the game or have any interest.
But as the first Quake game in over a decade, we are really quite shocked at how little attention the game has gotten. While we are running out of months in 2017. That 2017 release date Bethesda gave us is looking less and less likely. But they are supporting those early access players very well with new updates and characters (Doom Guy!) to mess around with.
As of right now, Quake Champions is only due out for PC, but Bethesda has not completely ruled out making a Xbox One or PlayStation 4 port of the game.
Here we go again as we look at the next installment in the Rainbow Six series.
Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six 3 (2003/2004) Xbox, PlayStation 2, Nintendo GameCubeRainbow Six was no stranger to console having appeared on PlayStation, Nintendo 64 and Sega Dreamcast. But this would be the series’ first entry on this generation of console. The game was originally released on the Xbox before making an appearance on the PlayStation 2 and GameCube the following year.
While this version is called Rainbow Six 3, you will notice the subtitle is missing. That is because the console versions are completely different to the PC. There is no complex planning of missions before you do them like in the PC version (which is one of the major things about the Rainbow Six series) and in general, the game has a much more action feel to it. The story was also very different to what the PC version offered. The rainbow team is sent to South America to investigate a series of terrorist attacks and soon finds out that it is the president of Venezuela who is behind them.
Players now only control one character, Ding Chavez who is the field commander of the Rainbow team. You can still dish out orders to the rest of the team, but you only have direct control of the one character. In general, this is a much more streamlined Rainbow Six experience. But while this sounds bad, Rainbow Six 3 on console is actually a very fun game in its own right, especially the Xbox version which got great reviews at the time. The PlayStation and GameCube versions of the game did not get quite as high review scores at the time.
