Marathon’s new PvE experiment is Bungie’s most genius decision yet, so make it a full mode already

Players can now access the new content from Marathon's Season 2 update after initial server issues. The update features a nighttime Dire Marsh map, which has limited visibility and requires players to use torches and gadgets. The experimental Sponsored Survival mode is a key highlight, available from June 2 to June 9, allowing players to explore the map without immediate threats from other players, aside from UESC bots. Solo Rook players will gradually join the match, increasing competition for loot. Interactions with Rooks are infrequent, leading to mostly non-violent encounters. This mode aims to provide a PvE experience while maintaining PvP elements. A full PvE mode is anticipated to debut later in Season 2.

Windows 11 sandbox flaw lets attackers escape with one click

SafeBreach Labs identified a vulnerability in Windows 11, named Click Or Trick, cataloged as CVE-2025-59199, which was addressed by Microsoft in October 2025. The vulnerability allows a one-click attack from a low-integrity process to achieve arbitrary write capabilities and escalated code execution by exploiting built-in Windows components. The researchers discovered a COM object with an undocumented flag that enabled a low-integrity process to launch a medium-integrity server process using the user's logon token. They found that certain applications could accept command-line parameters through notifications, allowing attackers to execute commands. The Snipping Tool was leveraged to transition execution to another registered application, such as Microsoft Teams, enabling the injection of a remote debugging switch. This exploit chain involved multiple Windows subsystems and was assigned a CVSS score of 7.8.

I played Modern Warfare 4 at Infinity Ward, let’s talk about it

Infinity Ward is set to release Modern Warfare 4, its first entry in the franchise in four years. The game will feature the return of the DMZ extraction mode and is set in South Korea. It introduces apex attachments that fundamentally alter a gun's identity, with unique attachments for each weapon unlocking at full level. Movement mechanics have been revamped for a more fluid experience, allowing rapid mantling and smoother transitions. The initial maps follow a classic three-lane structure but lack innovation. The Gunfight mode returns, now expanded to 10v10 with dynamic maps. Quality-of-life enhancements include improved FOV, depth of field adjustments, refined muzzle smoke/flash effects, and improved hipfire mechanics. Loadouts have been simplified to five attachments per weapon and a standard three-perk system, allowing for more personalized gaming experiences.
