In this episode, I cover the latest news concerning Call of Duty: Warzone, Halo Infinite, and Battlefield 2042. In Warzone, the CX9 SMG was added (00:49) and there was a nerf to the Krig-6 (02:48). Activision and Raven continue to remain silent on a Warzone anti-cheat solution and hackers continue to impact the game (04:01). Activision finds itself embroiled in lawsuits regarding the company’s workplace environment (05:28). We learned a little bit of information on Call of Duty 2021 from the latest Activision investors call (10:17) and some Warzone Season 5 changes were announced (10:50). The first Halo Infinite technical flight brought a wealth of information on that upcoming game (12:43), and the Battlefield 2042 team revealed their “love letter to fans,” the ultra-customizable Battlefield Portal (17:34).

In this episode, I start by reviewing the newest Season 4 Call of Duty patch. You can expect to learn about all of the new additions to Black Ops Cold War and Warzone (00:56) and a review of the massive weapons overhaul designed to raise the overall time to kill and which guns received the biggest nerfs and buffs (03:45). I cover the first attempt to balance dead silence (12:16) and some of the other quality of life changes in the new patch (12:40). I then move on to a review all the most important information that EA and Dice have been slowly leaking out regarding Battlefield 2042 (14:20), including new information on how specialists will work (16:25), what features last gen console players can expect to miss out on (18:02), some details on vehicles and AI soldiers (18:35), and more.

In the latest episode, we start by reviewing all of the recent Warzone changes, including Raven’s continued weapon balancing in Call of Duty: Warzone Season 4, like nerfs to the MG82 (01:00), recoil adjustments to the C58, FARA, and XM4 (04:53), and barrel changes that affect a number of ARs and LMGs (06:34). I discuss the Milano’s recent emergence as a meta weapon across ranges (09:17) and highlight some helpful Warzone strategy videos (13:45). From there, I discuss the results of the first World Series of Warzone event (15:06), the J God 100k tournament (16:10), and the Toronto Ultra Canada Cup (16:39), including thoughts on the future of Warzone tournaments and the public vs. custom lobby debate (18:33). Finally, I try and read the tea leaves on Microsoft boss Phil Spencer’s recent Halo Infinite comments, and whether we can expect a Halo battle royale game (23:05). Much more inside. Thank you for listening.
