Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 review-in-progress: A campaign you shouldn’t skip

The author attended a three-day review event in Los Angeles for Modern Warfare 4, spending nearly 24 hours on the campaign, multiplayer, and DMZ modes. They have been engaged with Call of Duty for over two decades, initially drawn in by the campaigns. The campaign of Modern Warfare 4 features relatable characters, primarily a group of young South Korean marines during a North Korean invasion, and aims to recapture the essence of earlier installments. Key missions include "Mayhem," "Losing Ground," and "Stranded," the latter showcasing a sandbox level with non-linear objectives. Concerns about integrating Warzone mechanics into single-player gameplay were alleviated by the assurance that the map was designed specifically for the campaign. The narrative includes Captain Price but feels disjointed, with his character fading from the story. Overall, Modern Warfare 4 is noted for its robust campaign, extravagant set pieces, and solid gunplay, marking a return to form for the series.

My career as a weed farmer was derailed by my unslakeable lust for golf

The mod WeedFarm was installed for Grand Theft Auto V to enhance gameplay by allowing players to cultivate, harvest, and sell cannabis. However, the core functionality of harvesting was not accessible due to conflicts with other mods, specifically a golf mod and a jetpack mod, both of which share the same control key (F3) as WeedFarm. Attempts to interact with the dealer to resolve the issue were unsuccessful, and an accidental melee attack on the dealer's door caused an explosion, adding to the confusion. The modder continues to seek a resolution for the integration of WeedFarm.

NordVPN’s CTO on redefining antivirus for the AI era, and his dream security tool

NordVPN has introduced a new offering called "next-gen antivirus" (NGAV) to address evolving cybersecurity threats, particularly those from artificial intelligence. NGAV aims to redefine online security by protecting against sophisticated threats like socially engineered scams and phishing attacks, rather than just traditional viruses. It operates in the background, alerting users to potential scams, blocking ads and trackers, and removing malware without requiring extensive technical knowledge. The company recognizes that personal AI agents present a new cybersecurity challenge and is developing features to protect these agents. NordVPN has incorporated bespoke AI solutions into its NGAV, using efficient models that can identify phishing attempts while running locally on user devices. The company has also shifted to open-weight models to reduce costs while maintaining capabilities, although sensitive areas like payment processing remain unaffected by AI. Despite privacy concerns regarding AI, NordVPN has not faced significant pushback from customers about its AI features and emphasizes its commitment to not using customer data for model training. Briedis warns that over-regulation could hinder innovation in cybersecurity. Looking ahead, he envisions a comprehensive application that monitors users' digital environments and manages their data presence online, while NordVPN plans to focus on creating localized solutions rather than hardware development.

Soulbound Turns Minecraft Into A Deltarune-Style RPG

Minecraft's combat mechanics have been considered monotonous, leading players to seek mods for a more dynamic experience.

Soulbound transforms Minecraft into a turn-based RPG inspired by Undertale and Deltarune, allowing players to create characters with customizable stats and combat styles. The mod features original bullet-hell attack patterns and procedurally generated dark worlds that reflect themes from Deltarune. Soulbound was developed without the use of generative AI, as confirmed by moderators on its Discord server.

Game review: Hot Wheels Infinite Rush (PC)

Italian developer Milestone has released Hot Wheels Infinite Rush, which features an open-world environment for players to explore themed islands while racing iconic 1:64 scale diecast models. The game includes various racing dynamics with four vehicle classes—Speeders, Drifters, Versatiles, and Titans—and offers a progression system that unfolds naturally as players explore. On easier settings, the game is more forgiving, while higher difficulty levels provide a challenging experience. The visuals showcase over 150 meticulously detailed vehicles, and there are customization options like a track builder and livery editor, though some features are limited. Local multiplayer does not allow players to roam the islands together.
