Star Wars Battlefront 2 Loot Boxes Need Work
After spending a lot of time with the Star Wars Battlefront 2 beta, the game is a ton of fun and is shaping up to be one of the best shooters of 2017. DICE really have done an amazing job and they really are pumping the game full of content.
Loot boxes in games are going to be a major thing in the next couple of years. Overwatch is what we have to thank for that, but to be fair, Overwatch handles their loot boxes (or crates) very well. But Star Wars Battlefront 2 is showing the ugly side of loot boxes. Rather than just get items that will change the appearance of your characters. The loot boxes in Star Wars Battlefront 2 are all about enhancing your character. Buffs that make you do more damage or take less damage. New and more powerful weapons and things that will make a real difference on the battlefield. The problem is the way you earn “currency” in the game is pretty messed up and you get no more currency for carrying your team to victory than if you are the weakest player on your team!
Plus it takes what feels like an age to earn enough to get a loot box that contains a Star Card which has an upgrade that it is a grind that feels like a bit of a slap in the face. One popular YouTuber made the point that the upgrade system in Battlefront 2 is like what you would find in a free to play game and it is hard to argue with that.
From a gameplay point of view, Star Wars Battlefront 2 is incredible, but it will be interesting to see if players are going to be happy with the way these loot boxes are handled.
We are glamming things up a bit today as we look at another fantastic entry in the Grand Theft Auto series!
Grand Theft Auto The Ballad Of Gay Tony (2009/10) Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PCThe Ballad Of Gay Tony was the final GTA IV expansion pack and the third Grand Theft Auto release in 2009! First released on Xbox 360, The Ballad Of Gay Tony would be released on PC and PlayStation 3 the following year.
This is regarded as one of the best entries in the GTA series. This expansion sees you playing the role of Luis Fernando Lopez who is the personal bodyguard to the flamboyant, Gay Tony who is the owner of the largest nightclubs in Liberty City and also a socialite, overcome the obstacles in his life ranging from drug deals and contracts on his life. The story is just fantastic and has much more glitz and glamour than GTA IV and the Lost And The Damned. Gay Tony was already one of the more memorable characters from GTA IV so seeing him get a more starring role was a lot of fun.
Gameplay was as you would expect, but they added a scoring system for missions as well as lots of new side jobs you could take such as entering a fighting competition, dealing drugs and dealing with club management to name a few. While the game was around the same length as The Lost And The Damned, it felt like there was much more to do here.
The Ballad Of Gay Tony was greeted with worldwide acclaim. Everyone loved the story and it would be the most popular of all the GTA DLC. It is worth noting that this along with The Lost And The Damned would be released together as the “Episodes From Liberty City” bundle that let you play both stories without the need for a Grand Theft Auto IV disc.
Now, this is a pleasant surprise! While all eyes are firmly on Call Of Duty World War II. Most of us thought that Activision had pretty much wiped their hands clean of Infinite Warfare, well as far as new content went. But that has proven not to be the case.
While we all know that Overwatch is having their annual Halloween event. The big surprise this week is that Call Of Duty Infinite Warfare is also going to be having some fun this Halloween. Running up until the 1st of November. Call Of Duty Infinite Warfare players will be able to score some awesome supply drops that have themed loot. The event is being called Willard Wyler’s Halloween Scream and it sounds like a blast. The Carnage multiplayer map looks awesome and we are also getting double XP as well.
A new game mode is being added called Gesture Warfare which allows you to kill opponents by using hand gestures! Now this sound crazy, but it looks like something that is going to be a ton of fun.
There has also been talk of boss battles from the Zombies mode being made into their own thing, but this is one thing that Activision has not really been clear on. We do not know if they are adding bosses to the zombie's maps or putting them all together in their own mode. Either way, you can count us in with this as our modded controllers are awesome in zombies mode.
We think it is really cool that Activision are having this last update in Call Of Duty Infinite Warfare as one last hurrah for the game before Call Of Duty World War II is released.
Battlefield Auto Spot Mod

| Get A Edge With Auto Spot |
If you have looked at some of our controllers we have right here. Then one feature you may have noticed is Auto Spot. For those of you who are just Call Of Duty players (not that there is anything wrong with that) you may be wondering what this is. But for Battlefield 1 players, Auto Spot is a huge feature and just what they will need to give their team the edge in battle.
The way that Auto Spot works is that when you have the mod turned on your controller. Once an enemy has been spotted, they will appear on all your teammate's maps. This means that you have a clear advantage in battle and it will help you get the drop on this unsuspecting enemy! It is actually a lot of fun when you use this and then organize a surprise attack on the enemy. You can even get some extra points everyone and again when you use this just right and take a bad guy down.
We feel that Auto Spot is the kind of mod that does give you the edge in battle. But it is also just so much fun to use. It can help you communicate better with your teammates and it is the best way to stop the enemy from getting the drop on you. It is a feature that any Battlefield 1 player is going to love to make use of.
