Fortnite Battle Royal has taken the gaming world by storm. I think that you would have to say that as of right now, Fortnite Battle Royal is the biggest game in the world. From record-breaking live streams, millions in revenue and a mobile version that is going to be huge. People cannot get enough Fortnite. Fans are going crazy for the update that has just dropped as I write this.
We knew this was coming, but the main focus for many of us with this latest update is the Guided Missiles. This sounds like a lot of fun, once you fire it, you take control of the missile. In the right hands, this can be deadly, but Epic have made it so it is not too overpowered. For example, when you are controlling the missile, you cannot control your character. So I assume this leaves you prone to attack if another player spots you.
Also in this latest update, a new timed game mode has been added (I am not sure for how long) this mode is called Sniper Shootout V2. In this mode, you will be using weapons like crossbows and hunting rifles…. So I am out as I am terrible with these weapons, but for those of you who fancy yourselves as sharpshooters, this mode is going to be a lot of fun.
One other thing that has been added and I think is kind of fun is the Grenade Launchers have been tweaked. Not in their power or ability, but in that they now shoot eggs! This is only for a short while as it is there to celebrate Easter. Nothing celebrates Easter like blowing away another player with an egg!
We were just talking about how this was a rumor and now we know for a fact that the next DLC pack for Call Of Duty WWII is called War Machine and it is coming to PlayStation 4 on the 10th of April with PC and Xbox following around 30 days later.
Sledgehammer have dropped some details about what is included, but today I want to focus on the three new multiplayer maps.
Egypt: By a mile, this is the map that has caught my eye. It looks so different to anything else that is in Call Of Duty WWII. The map is set in Giza and it even features the Sphynx which is really cool. With the map being so bright it is going to be interesting to see how battles play out as in theory, it should be much easier to see the opposition.
V2: From what I gather this map is set around a V2 rocket factory that is in a very rural part of Germany. So we can expect this map to feature sections in the actual factory or at the very least on the grounds and maybe some forest to run and hide in as well. I think that this one could be a ton of fun.
Dunkirk: Dunkirk is the third map that is being added as part of the DLC pack. What I find cool about this is that this map features the city and the beach area so there is going to be a lot of contrast here which should make for some very strategic battles. Do you fight on the beach? Or is it better to us the city to hide and ambush?
I am very excited for the War Machine DLC pack in Call Of Duty WWII, Sledgehammer Games have done an amazing job with the DLC so far and this next pack looks to be just as good as the first.
Look, full disclosure here I am not much of a mobile gamer (as evident, by all the modded controllers we sell) however, while the iPhone that I have could not run Fortnite Battle Royal mobile, I was able to try PUBG Mobile and as it was free, I thought what the hell and gave it a try.
In all honesty, I did not give PUBG on Xbox One a fair trial. I purchased the game quite early on and had a really hard time getting into it, Fortnite Battle Royal happened and as they say, the rest is history.
However, playing games on my phone is not something I have got super into, but a nongamer buddy said he played PUBG on his phone and it was awesome, so I was intrigued. I downloaded it and over the course of a few days, I had put hours and hours into the game and had a blast doing so.
The last mobile game I actually played was Sonic The Hedgehog 2…. I am not kidding, that was the last game I played on my iPhone and I hated it, the controls sucked and to be honest, control is an issue I have had with the majority of mobile games I have played. I do not know what the team behind PUBG Mobile did, but they made it work on a phone very well and I have one of the older and smaller iPhone SE’s.
While PUBG on Xbox One is really just all about surviving, I love how the mobile version gives you these extra missions to do. Kill so many players, use a certain gun, survive a certain amount of time and so on. It makes it so much more fun and gives you that extra thing to do.
I really think that PUBG Mobile is a fantastic game and I may get a little heat for this, but I have had more fun playing this than the Xbox One version. However, when I have a bit more time, PUBG Mobile has made me want to give its console older brother another chance.
