Season 1 is six days old and Infinity Ward just rewrote how bullets land, with true hitscan range up almost 300 percent in both multiplayer and Warzone. We break down the change, Wager Match finally going live, Ranked Play being confirmed for Season 2, and the bugs still open, including a DMZ one that can cost you your loadout going into X01. We also cover the Warzone Agent crackdown, Verdansk and Rebirth Island’s missing return date, GTA 6’s final week, and Loftia’s Early Access. Our Hot Take: will GTA 6 hurt Warzone and MW4 more than any patch ever could? FragCast Episode 24 — new episodes every week.

Season 1 just went live and Warzone is now fully integrated with Modern Warfare 4. We break down Hajin and Zodiac, the new gear and perks, the level reset, Switch 2 launching while PS4 and Xbox One support ends, and why Verdansk and Rebirth Island are coming later in the season. In MW4 itself: four new multiplayer maps, a Hardcore health cut, the new X01 location in DMZ, DMZ payouts getting a big boost, and why matchmaking is still the elephant in the room. We also cover WoW: Forever’s launch, GTA 6 thirteen days out, and our Hot Take on launching Warzone without its classic maps. FragCast Episode 23 — new episodes every week.

One week into MW4, the story has flipped. Critics are calling it the best Call of Duty in over a decade, but recent Steam reviews have dropped to Mixed because of multiplayer matchmaking, spawns, and the missing Open playlist. We break down both sides, plus a deep dive on DMZ: how a run works, the 13 bosses, the attachment economy, and what’s coming with the new X01 location. We also cover Season 1 landing November 6 with Hajin and Zodiac coming to Warzone, a new floating-island survival game, and our Hot Take: are the critics or the players right? FragCast Episode 22 — new episodes every week.

Modern Warfare 4 launches this Friday, and the early verdict on the campaign and DMZ is a big turnaround from that rough beta. We break down the critic scores, what reviewers are saying about DMZ, and why multiplayer is still the real test since nobody has played it since the beta. We also cover your launch-night checklist, Season 1 now locked in for November 6 with Hajin and new gear coming to Warzone, and how Enshrouded 1.0 landed. Our Hot Take: is the hype ahead of the evidence? FragCast Episode 21 — new episodes every week.

Black Ops 7 is officially over and it’s full steam ahead on MW4. Campaign Early Access opens tomorrow, DMZ Early Access opens Tuesday, and the full game launches October 23 — we break down exactly what unlocks when, what’s in multiplayer on day one, and a launch-week checklist so you don’t get locked out. Plus the latest on Warzone: why Hajin doesn’t arrive until Season 1, how Carry Forward really works now, and Activision’s camo correction. We also cover Enshrouded 1.0 and ARC Raiders’ Frozen Trail update. Our Hot Take: is staggered early access a reward or pre-order pressure? FragCast Episode 20 — new episodes every week.

MW4's Campaign Trailer just dropped at Tokyo Games Show with a real bombshell — Task Force 141 has been disbanded and John Price has gone on the run as an outlaw. We break down what that means for the story, plus a new Xbox 25th Anniversary pre-order bonus and yesterday's fresh BO7/Warzone patch, including a gas-play exploit fix and Endgame going fully BO7-exclusive. Our Hot Take: is turning Price into an outlaw the boldest move Infinity Ward has made, or a risky departure from what made him work? 22 days to launch. FragCast Episode 19 — New episodes every Week!

The Doom crossover just went live in BO7 and Warzone — Doom Slayer, Doom Guy, weapon blueprints, all of it. But the bigger story this week is DMZ — it's now confirmed to require owning MW4, a real shift from the original 2022 version which was completely free through Warzone. We break down what that means for the mode, plus a new notoriety system that punishes aggressive players, and clear up exactly when Warzone's Hajin integration actually lands. Our Hot Take: did Infinity Ward just trade DMZ's biggest strength for a more premium experience? 29 days to launch. FragCast Episode 18 — New episodes every week!

Season 6: The Haunting launches today — BO7's true final chapter with a new Arctic map, Avalon turning into a horror zone, and a Doom crossover coming next week. But the bigger story is DMZ — Infinity Ward's director is calling it "essentially a standalone game," with Hajin now confirmed as a continuously evolving 9-area sandbox tied directly into the campaign's story. We break it all down, plus RuneScape: DragonWilds hits full release and our Hot Take asks if DMZ's ambition is setting up disappointment or genuinely earned hype. 36 days to launch. FragCast Episode 17 — new episodes every Thursdays!

BO7's final season is official — Season 6: The Haunting drops September 17 with a new Zombies map, Rex Infernus Directed Mode, and a full Doom crossover starting September 24. But the real focus this week is DMZ — with 43 days until launch, new intel reveals dynamic missions, bounty boards, weapon manuals, and multiple tiers of roaming bosses, painting a way deeper extraction experience than the original. We also recap Hajin's shared role between DMZ and Warzone. Our Hot Take: is DMZ's ambition a strength or a launch-day risk with zero public testing? FragCast Episode 16 — new episodes every Thursdays.

Last week we debated whether MW4's rough beta start was secretly good news — and Infinity Ward just proved it. Weekend Two brought real changes: longer TTK, reduced aim assist, and Tactical Sprint now gated behind a Perk, with the beta even extended 12 hours because players didn't want to stop. We break down everything that changed, plus BO7 Season 6 is confirmed for September 17 as the true final season before MW4. We also start tracking DMZ with 50 days to launch — the one confirmed pillar nobody's played yet, set in the massive Hajin Exclusion Zone that's shared with Warzone. Hot Take of the Week to close it out. FragCast Episode 15 — new episodes every Thursdays.
