Call Of Duty WWII Lets Everyone Feel Like A Pro Gamer
At the beginning of December Sledgehammer made a very interesting addition to Call Of Duty WWII and that is Ranked Mode. We knew this was coming, but to be honest with you never really gave it a second thought. However, Ranked Mode is pretty cool and interesting.
Ranked Mode allows us mere mortals to get a little taste of what ESports is like. It uses the same guidelines as the Call Of Duty World League so it is 4 vs 4 matches in Search And Destroys, Hardpoint and Capture The Flag. The rules that are set in the World League apply here so there are certain things you cannot use, like the care package score sheet or you cannot have the rapid fire attachment equipped.
There is a pretty sophisticated matchmaking and stat tracking system working in the background that will really test your skill and let you see just how good a Call Of Duty WWII player you are. The idea is that you want to move up the tiers and the better you get at the game the higher (in theory) tier you will climb up to. We think this is a great addition and it is sure to be a lot of fun. While some people will take it very seriously, we feel that this is going to be something that is quite addictive for even casual players of Call Of Duty WWII.
Many of us wonder if we could cut it in the world of ESports and now thanks to Ranked Mode, we can get a little taste of what it is like as we put our skills against each other!
New Overwatch Skins Require Their Own Currency!
We are huge fans of Overwatch and consider it to be one of the better first person shooters released the last few years. While it may have really thrust the whole loot box thing into the mainstream, many feel that Blizzard do it in a way fairer than most.
Well with Overwatch becoming more and more popular as an ESport, Blizzard has announced that Overwatch League Skins will be coming to the game. In case you did not know, this was Blizzard's idea to make Overwatch more watchable as an ESport, by allowing a team to have their own color and logos on their characters. It is a pretty neat idea and Blizzard have said that these skins will be coming to Overwatch for regular players to enjoy.
Interestingly though, you will not be getting these Overwatch League Skins by opening a loot box like you might expect. Instead, you will be having to use a new form of currency called League Tokens, as far as we know, League Tokens only purpose in the game will be to buy these Overwatch League skins. Some people are not happy about this new currency, but we feel it is the best way to handle this. Just imagine if you have zero interest in ESports, open a loot box and instead of getting that awesome Soldier 76 skin you have been wanting for ages, you get some random ESports team skin that you have never heard of!
All the details have not yet been given, but we do know that when the system launches, Blizzard is giving all players enough League Tokens to buy one Overwatch League Skin so at least we can all see what the fuss is about.
