Even though Old School RuneScape was ‘not built to have a LAN setup at all,’ it just had a live esports tournament with 4,000 attendees: ‘We were doubting at times whether we actually can pull it off’

On June 20, 4,000 fans attended the Deadman All Stars PvP tournament for Old School RuneScape in Chicago, with over one million viewers online. The tournament showcased a successful adaptation of the game for modern esports, featuring a combat system that requires quick item switching and strategic gameplay. Players used their own equipment for comfort and performance, often opting for a low-resolution display to enhance focus. The matches followed a format similar to crew battles, with players starting fresh accounts and a 120-hour playtime limit to prepare. Jagex faced logistical challenges in creating a LAN setup for the tournament, which was their first major event in North America and their largest to date, surpassing RuneFest in the UK.

Darktide’s new Skitarii class is its most unique yet, but it also advances our understanding of Warhammer 40k lore

Warhammer 40k features the Skitarii class, which is characterized as cyborg warriors devoted to a cult and communicates in binharic cant. They possess abilities such as delivering electric shocks, using a retractable claw arm for close combat, reviving allies, solving puzzles, and providing fire support through Servo-Skull minions. The Skitarii class emphasizes support and teamwork over individual prowess, offering a diverse skill tree and customization options that enhance the gameplay experience. Fatshark's introduction of this class in Darktide reflects a shift towards strategic collaboration rather than traditional aggressive playstyles.

Wrong Organ developers Jeffrey Tomec and Dave van Egdom discussed their upcoming game, Carcass Clad, which shifts towards co-op multiplayer gameplay, a departure from their previous title, Mouthwashing. The game features tank-based mechanics where players navigate with limited visibility, with gunners in a scoped view and a commander providing strategic direction. The gameplay includes moments of action and respite, with safe rooms similar to those in Left 4 Dead. The developers are open to changes during the development process to enhance the game's appeal.

The greatest FPS mode of all time is endangered

Capture the Flag (CTF) mode has been a staple in multiplayer first-person shooter (FPS) gaming for over three decades, popularized by Dave "Zoid" Kirsch's Threewave CTF mod for Quake. It combines team deathmatch excitement with objective-based gameplay, but has become increasingly rare as multiplayer gaming has evolved. The rise of multiplayer service games focusing on singular modes has overshadowed CTF, with titles like Counter-Strike 2 and Rainbow Six Siege prioritizing bomb modes. Call of Duty last featured CTF in 2017, and recent games like Last Flag and Highguard have not significantly revived interest in the mode. A recent Reddit thread reminiscing about CTF received 98 comments but only 12 upvotes, indicating a nostalgic yet diminishing engagement with the mode.
