All 5 divisions in CoD:WW2



If you've read the last blog, I talked about how the classic "Create-a-class" feature won't be in WW2. As of a couple hours ago, Michael Condrey and Sledgehammer studios officially revealed their 5 divisions that will replace the "Create-a-Class" feature. The following 5 divisions will be available and might change before the November release date. The"Airborne division", where their motto is "First to the fight, where you move fast and stay quiet". The "Mountain division", where their motto is "Focusing on precise and deadly sharpshooting". The "Infantry division", where their motto is "Be the tip of the spear". The "Armored division" where their motto is "Bringing the heaviest firepower". And lastly, the "Expeditionary force division" where their motto is "Packing heat with incendiary shells". Call of duty WW2 multiplayer reveal will be in 4 days at E3. After the reveal expect a lot of gameplay of those who capture the multiplayer test play and maybe even a beta date.

No "Create-a-class" in WW2



As of today, Sledgehammer studios revealed something thats going to change the Call of Duty "experience". For about 10 years now, Call of Duty fans have been used to the usual "Create-a-class" feature, Where you are given a certain amount of space to build your own custom class. But thats not the case this year. Just to add on to WW2's game changes, Michael Condrey has revealed that players will now be working with "Divisions". "Divisions" will replace the "Create a Class" and will allow players to essentially be part of a faction. These factions will change the way players progress through multiplayer. Basically you can pick from 5 different divisions which have yet to be revealed. We will find that out at E3, which will be this weekend. Condrey stated "Divisions fundamentally redefines how players invest in their Multiplayer soldier career. Replacing the create-a-class system, players choose from five iconic World War II divisions each with specific basic combat training, division training and weapon skills." This will definitely be something to take into account when you play Call Of Duty: World War 2. Call Of Duty World War 2's multiplayer reveal will be on Tuesday of next week.

Call Of Duty:World War II mechanic



A little over a month ago, CoD:WW2 was revealed and we got a bit of insight to the campaign and the passion that went behind some of the in game creations. The creators, sledgehammer games, had already started motion capture in late 2015. With the creation of the game, came a LOT of traveling. Sledgehammer games really went for authenticity and fine details so rather than just going off of memory or glancing at a picture, they traveled the world to visit some of the iconic battlegrounds. Michael Condrey, the studio head of Sledgehammer recently revealed that unlimited sprint will NOT be a thing. This is actually pretty game braking because for the past 4-5 years we've had unlimited sprint. Instead it'll go back to the regular 5 second sprint and you have to let it cool down afterwards before sprinting again. As another new game mechanic being added, in campaign every member of your squad will count. There will be no health regeneration. If your medic dies on the battlefield, you won't make it far (depending on difficulty) because thats your source of health. We will have to see how this plays out in the game its self.

Destiny 2 gameplay reveal

Destiny 2's new campaign will be solo only and will be titled the "red war", in which guardians will be faced with the militaristic and highly tactical "Red legion". Dominos Ghaul, a cabal warlord, and the leader of the Red Legion. Ghaul will be known quite a lot as he will launch the largest assault towards the guardians and they way of life. As of now there have been no indications of any new enemies. Destiny 2 will release on September 8, 2017 for PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

Destiny 2 reveal!


It has been officially revealed, Destiny 2. Destiny 2 will in fact take place in an era when the tower is under attack and the cabal have invaded. The cabal's red legion are invading the tower, and the safety of the vanguard and the last city is in danger. Destiny 2's release date will be on September 8, 2017 with a beta available to those who pre order. The beta will be sometime during the summer of 2017. Destiny 2's planets will feel more like a complete destination rather then just another destination that feels bland and deserted. A tip for those who want to pre order is that some things won't carry over. What won't carry over is powers, possessions (Weapons/armor/shaders etc.) and any Eververse items such as silver and emotes. Bungie believes that this is the best path forward. Destiny is confirmed to come to PC, Xbox, and PS4.

Post patch update/February iron banner?



It has been 9 days since Bungie has given us an update. Following the much awaited update, the Destiny community has been slowly trying to adjust to the new changes and it's harder than you think. For those (Like myself) who love shotgun dominance and using a hand cannon, the change is rough. Having the reduced range and slightly reduced impact has really taken a toll on how we play and how careful we move and how we want to approach certain gunfights. Most of the community has been using the Future War Cult exclusive sidearm know as the "Wormwood". With the wormwoods high rate of fire and decent impact, it makes it ideal for weekly trials of osiris and any PvP aspects. The hawk moon has become a fan favorite following the recent patch. It has both a high rate of fire and a high impact that really shows it's dominance. As of iron banner, Bungie has officially cancelled this months iron banner, likely due to the changes the patch has brought. Hopefully we should receive an iron banner event for March.

Destiny 2 leak-megablock


Mega blocks may have leaked information as to the plot of Destiny 2. A little backstory, Destiny 2 has been said to be released in september of 2017. This was said by Bungie staff. So with that the community has wondered  of the plot. We have already had extensive content with the fallen (Wrath of the Machine, House of wolves), the hive ( Crota's end , The taken king, ) and the vex ( Vault of glass). The only faction we really haven't  had any extra content with is the cabal. And this is where the leak comes in. The cabal have been an interesting race, very heavy and tactical, but not shown enough love. Mega Blocks is partnered with activation and so they sale products coordinating with the game. In an upcoming list of their future products, they revealed descriptions which tells us future possible content which tell of new cabal tech and military and how crucible warrior shaxx leaves the tower to help protect the last city as the cabal attempt to invade the tower and the last city.

Bungie future updates



Now that it's a new year, Bungie promised a new update and promised to fix things the community has problems with. The community manager (Deej) stated that, they could easily break shotguns and call it a day.  However, Deej said they are taking the overpowered ability of shotguns into account for future updates. Another thing promised to be fixed is the Ikora Rey waypoint glitch where she is calling guardians but when they get there, she has nothing to offer you. As an added bonus, this year Bungie is hosting a Bungie bounty day every day! This event runs until February 10.

New year new game/blog:



With the dawning over, It's time for Destiny to get back to the classic rituals for the new year. With tomorrow should bring new news or updates about the new iron banner and new iron banner game mode as well as future content and perhaps news on Destiny 2. On the competitive side of Destiny for the first tournament of the year, it's a $200 premium rumble with a free entry and a prize of $200. The registration begins Sat. 14 at 1:55, and tournament begins Sat. 14 at 2:00 PM. The maximum team size is 1 player (because it's rumble).  In my personal Destiny experience, I am 1 light away from max light which is 400. I am also ranked in the top 8% of the world for kills per game and top 4% in the world for orbs from supers gathered per game.
