Why Call Of Duty WWII Is The Most Festive Game Of 2017!
Ok so this may be a weird statement, but playing games that give you that holiday feels is something that we like to do. Donkey Kong Country’s snow themed levels, Diddy Kong Racing and its Frosty Village to name just two. But we feel that this year’s Call Of Duty Winter Siege event has made Call Of Duty WWII the most festive triple A title of this holiday season!
The headquarters looks like Santa’s sleigh crash landed there as it is so festive. You can throw around Christmas snow globes with your buddies. Right in front of the Quartermaster there is a lovely Christmas tree, but unfortunately, the Quartermaster does not exactly have a look of Christmas joy on his face, but hey at least the tree is cool. Plus there are Christmas lights all over the place.
Of course, the main event of the Call Of Duty Winter Siege event is those wonderful loot boxes. We know that loot boxes are taking a real beating in the press these days. But we do feel that Sledgehammer has tried to keep their Call Of Duty WWII loot boxes light and fun. We have talked about the Winter Siege supply drops before where you can get some pretty neat festive items that will make it extra fun when you are waging war this holiday season. Of course, playing the game on the Carentan Map which is covered in snow also helps get you into the holiday spirit….. well as much as the horrors of World War II can of course.
We have had a blast with Call Of Duty WWII Winter Siege and we are sure that you guys who will be opening it up on Christmas morning will too. Just be warned that you only have around a week after Christmas to enjoy the event so make the most of it.
As Mods “R” Us are very excited for the release of Star Wars Battlefront, today we were lucky enough to be part of the beta on PlayStation 4 and we thought we would share our early thoughts.
First thing, this game is pure eye candy. Having a blaster battle on the streets of Naboo is really breathtaking. The folks at Dice have just done an amazing job. The first Battlefront was already a good looking game and this one here takes it to a whole new level.
There is far more going on with this beta than you would think, even though there is only a couple of different levels to play as and characters to be. We spent most of the time in the Galactic Assault mode where you pick from one of the four classes and either make a charge or defend. It is a lot of fun and a more refined gameplay experience than the first Battlefront.
The other mode that we spent a lot of time in was Arcade. Specifically, the mode where it let us play as Darth Maul and just kick ass! This was a ton of fun and it kind of felt like a horde mode. You just mow down wave after wave of enemies trying to get more time as you do so you can keep on playing. There is also a starfighter mode where you control ships, but we have not spent enough time with that mode to comment just yet.
One thing that Battlefront 2 has is loot boxes and when you first fire up the game you get three. Overwatch made a big deal of loot boxes and it looks like Star Wars Battlefront 2 is going to be doing the same thing. In all, we had a lot of fun playing this for a couple of hours and we look forward to spending more time with it in the coming days.
Overwatch is an awesome game. It is not just that it is a very fun and accessible first person shooter. But the whole style and lore behind it that has really gotten people hooked. Blizzard really did knock it out of the park.
Last year, Junkenstein's Revenge was a huge success and now the mode is back as part of this year’s Halloween event. But rather than just playing through a few hordes of enemies. You can now play it for as long as you like in order to see how long you can last. The real star though is the new Halloween themed skins which people are going crazy for and really praying that they are going to get when they open up a loot box. There is going to be a ton of cool new items for us to try and get and we have until the 2nd of November to get them which should hopefully be enough time to make it happen.
The fact that Blizzard is giving this away for free is one of the reasons that so many people get into Overwatch. Sure you have to grind like hell to get them all, but as the game is so much fun to play, many people really do not mind this at all.
So remember you have until November 2nd to take advantage of this. This is certainly something we are going to do as we were really bummed out last year when they took Junkenstein's Revenge away after the event finished!
As we all know, Call Of Duty WWII is going to be heavily supported by DLC and fun events for the next year. Well, the first bit of “big” event that we have to look forward to is called The Winter Siege and it is coming on the 8th of December. We are really pumped for this and wanted to talk a little bit about it today.
The Winter Siege sounds like it is going to be a lot of fun. What is interesting is that while this is the first big event for Call Of Duty WWII, we do not actually know a whole lot about it. What we do know is that the event will be utilizing the Carentan map which as of right now is something that people who bought the Call Of Duty WWII season pass could use. But in this event, the map is going to be available for everyone. However, the map is going to be covered with snow, which we think sounds very interesting.
As far as we know this event is going to run until January and Sledgehammer while keeping quiet on the details have said that there is going to be a lot of stuff packed into this event. Also while the event is getting all the focus, various bug fixes are also planned to be rolled out along with the Winter Siege which is always nice to hear.
We are really looking forward to the Call Of Duty WWII Winter Siege which is just a week or so away and we would love to know what you guys think about it.
