Modern Warfare 4’s Kill Block lets you use a Desert Eagle sniper rifle, but it’s still Call of Duty at heart

The Fanatics Fest convention at the Javitz Center in Manhattan featured the public debut of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4. A new map called Kill Block was introduced, which consists of three modules that rotate every two rounds in Gunfight mode, creating an evolving gameplay experience. The game includes a new ballistics model that enhances realism but does not drastically change gameplay mechanics. The Gunny system simplifies weapon customization by automatically assembling guns based on available attachments. Modern Warfare 4 retains core elements familiar to the series while emphasizing grounded combat, allowing players to maintain aim down sights while mantling. Overall, the game aims to reaffirm Infinity Ward's status in the Call of Duty franchise.

As PlayStation prepares to go all-digital, one PC gamer is turning Steam physical with SSD cartridges

PlayStation plans to phase out physical discs for new releases by 2028. A Reddit user, Jibril-sama, has created a Game Cartridge system using affordable 2.5" SSDs that contain games and a script to navigate to the game's page on Steam. The system operates on Linux and requires a systemd template to function. Jibril-sama acquired 128GB SSDs for €7 each. While gamers can use an external USB drive for their Steam library, this method lacks the charm of individual cartridges. Jibril-sama notes that players do not truly "own" their games on Steam due to reliance on Valve's online authentication.
