Here are the first four Call Of Duty: Black Ops 3 specialists
With details of Call Of Duty: Black Ops 3 having leaked over the internet in recent days, Activision seems to have given up on keeping anything about the game under wraps. It has now confirmed much of the information about Black Ops 3, such as the fact that the game will launch on November 6 and that the game will have a beta system for those who preorder. They’ve also confirmed that there will be major changes to multiplayer with the introduction of nine Specialists for players to choose in each match. The Specialists will each have one unique weapon and ability, and will be upgradable. So far, Activision have only revealed the first four. Here they are:
Outrider
Outrider’s real name is Alessandra Castillo. She’s armed with a bow, called Sparrow, which shoots incendiary arrows. These arrows apparently kill with one hit, although there is a slight delay after the arrow hits its mark before it goes boom. The arrows could also be used tactically, such as for shooting ahead of enemies as they move. It’s a fun weapon, especially if running headlong into the fight isn’t your style. Outrider also has an ability that lets her see through walls. Called Vision Pulse, it’s a fantastic ability for a stealth player.
She grew up in Favela, gaining her observation skills by watching the city from the rooftops. She spent some time with the Brazillian Special Forces, and for now she’s the go-to character for stealth.
Ruin
Ruin’s real name is Donnie Walsh. His weapon is Gravity Spikes. Imagine if Mario’s ground pound sent out a shockwave that hit all Goombas within a certain radius, and that’s basically what we have here. Some people say it’s devastating, and others say it’s too slow and doesn’t work properly, which might be the reason for Ruin’s ability, Overdrive. This will give his movements a speed boost, but only for a short time.
Ruin had a rough childhood being raised by a military family. If you’re the kind of player that loves rushing head first into battle, this is the character for you.
Seraph
Seraph, whose real name is Zhen Zhen, uses a one-hit kill (usually) revolver called Annihilator. It can also puncture through multiple bodies, which is just fantastic when you’re quick enough to get your enemies nicely lined up. Her ability, Combat Focus, will increase her scorestreak for a limited time.
Seraph was an enforcer for 541 crime syndicate and her abilities are all about discipline.
Reaper
Reaper is an Experimental War Robot. Apparently. This game does take place 50 years in the future, so that means robots are a thing. Reaper’s arm transforms into a high power gun called Scythe. It’s called that because it cuts through anything, so don’t stand in its way. His ability is Glitch, which will teleport him back to where we was a few seconds ago by hacking the Direct Neural Interface of other soldiers to mess with their perception of where he is.
Reaper was the most expensive project the military had ever concocted, until the project was thrown out due to budget problems. Reaper is the only remaining prototype.
The never-ending saga surrounding Microsoft’s proposed $69 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard has a new participant. Today, Senator Maria Cantwell, a Democrat from the state of Washington, said some things about the subject that were hard to understand.
The senator, whose remarks were reported on by ResetEra, spoke at a Senate finance committee hearing on “the president’s 2023 Trade Policy Plan,” which we are sure was quite interesting.
Senator Cantwell said that she had been told that Sony “controls a monopoly of 98% of the high-end game market” despite the fact that “Japan’s government has allowed Sony to engage in blatant anti-competitive conduct through exclusive deals and payments to game publishers, establishing games that are among the most popular in Japan.”
This 98% statistic is highly deceptive because it ignores PC, Nintendo, and mobile games and instead refers to Sony’s adoption rate over Microsoft in Sony’s native country of Japan, a fact that shouldn’t surprise anyone who is even somewhat familiar with the video game business.
What can we do to rectify these problems and create a level playing field, she said of US Trade Representative Katherine Tai after charging Japan’s Federal Trade Commission with improperly failing to look into this purported “exclusionary conduct”?
It is absurd to claim that Sony has a monopoly on the Japanese video game market, as Luke Plunkett of Kotaku correctly points out, “because Sony doesn’t even have a 98% share of the market for the God of War series, a title they own, as Steam is getting 30% of every sale on PC.”
It goes without saying that we can’t expect elected officials to be experts in every field, but this is a visible step at a time when the ongoing attempt to buy the company is at a very important point.
Is it significant that Microsoft, along with Nintendo, maintains its headquarters in Redmond, Washington—Senator Cantwell’s district—or that Microsoft has given Cantwell more than $500,000 over the past two decades? Let us leave that up to you.
Pizza Possum is an arcade action game in which you, a possum, attempt to consume as much trash as you can without being discovered. It is a web-based sequel to the anarchy simulator Untitled Goose Game.It will eventually be available on the PS5.
We couldn’t help but notice that the possum in the title doesn’t look like the cute Australian possum that comes out at night to visit people.On the other hand, it looks like the horrible North American opossums are the ones that will attack trash cans and cause general chaos.Even though we think the second choice was better in terms of theme, we prefer the first one and are happy to explain why.
Your thoughts on Pizza Possum? Does it possess the necessary mass appeal to successfully skitter along the back fenceline while setting the dog off in the process?
Resident Evil 4 is now out, and the excellent remake can be bought right away.Even though you probably plan to play it all this weekend, you can take comfort in the fact that The Mercenaries, Resident Evil’s almost-required challenge mode, will be available as free DLC on April 7.
The mode’s exact details are still unknown, but if it’s anything like previous versions, you can expect some pretty hard tasks to test your skills.
You’re stumped about something? If you are still debating whether to purchase Resident Evil 4 Remake, be sure to look at our exhaustive guide for the answer or our in-depth review. Are you spending this weekend playing Resident Evil 4? Are you anticipating The Mercenaries?
