Crossfire was the most surprising game reveal I’ve attended in years

That's No Moon is a relatively unknown studio in Los Angeles, established during the pandemic and backed by South Korean publisher Smilegate. The studio's debut game is titled Crossfire, which is a single-player, third-person tactical shooter that diverges from Smilegate's original competitive FPS. The game features a protagonist named Minkoff, voiced by Claudia Doumit, and incorporates high lethality, limited healing options, and manual magazine reloading. Players engage in intense firefights with controlled bursts of fire and a unique on-screen reticle that enhances the connection to the weapon. The game includes a modular inventory system for managing gear and ammunition, encourages looting, and offers a linear, narrative-driven campaign. An adaptive cover system allows players to use various forms of cover dynamically. The studio aimed to balance accessibility with tactical challenges, and they proposed using the Crossfire name after exploring the franchise's lore.

Bungie brings the nerf hammer down on Marathon’s problematic ‘rich get richer’ gun

Bungie is addressing concerns about the Marathon Biotoxic Disinjector, a powerful weapon that combines a trace rifle and grenade launcher, which has been criticized for creating an uneven playing field in the game. The weapon is particularly effective in close-quarters combat, capable of nearly eliminating opponents with a single grenade hit. Game director Joe Ziegler acknowledged its overpowering nature and announced a 35% damage reduction as a temporary nerf, with plans for further balance adjustments. The weapon's exclusivity, available only to players who excel in challenging encounters, exacerbates the advantage for those who possess it. Prominent community figures have expressed concerns that the weapon could deter players from engaging with the game. Other content creators have noted its overwhelming effectiveness, with suggestions for additional measures to level the playing field, such as disabling the weapon in certain game modes.

Now that I’ve learned the cost per shot of weapons in Arc Raiders, I’m an even bigger fan of my beloved Stitcher

The Stitcher is the most efficient weapon in Arc Raiders, delivering 13,700 damage over 1,950 shots per full repair at a cost of two credits per shot. The Rattler IV averages 11,900 damage at 3.9 credits per shot. The Osprey is inefficient, becoming unusable after firing one and a half max ammo stacks. The Venator, a rare pistol, inflicts 16,400 damage and achieves 91 magazines per full repair, making it cheaper to repair on a per-damage basis than the Anvil.

Best Black Ops 7 Peacekeeper MK1 loadout

The BO7 Peacekeeper MK1 is a weapon in first-person shooter games known for its significant damage output at close range but struggles with high recoil. The recommended loadout includes: - Optic: EMT Holo MK2 - Muzzle: K&S Brake-2B - Barrel: 19.4″ Stimulus Barrel - Underbarrel: EAM Steady-90 Grip - Fire Mod: 5.7x28mm Overpressured This loadout aims to mitigate recoil and enhance accuracy, making the Peacekeeper MK1 effective for smaller maps. The EMT Holo MK2 optic provides clarity in close-quarters combat, while the K&S Brake-2B and EAM Steady-90 Grip help with recoil control. The 19.4″ Stimulus Barrel and 5.7 x 28mm Overpressured ammunition increase bullet velocity and improve time-to-kill (TTK). Mastering this setup can enhance gameplay and assist in unlocking new mastery camos.
