Fortnite gets a new patch today, bringing its 'Fortnitemares' Halloween event to a close and adding new leaderboards and a smoke grenade to its popular Battle Royale mode. Experience gaming's greatest emergent moments in the best sandbox games on PC. A global leaderboard now lists the top 50 players in the world for each match type, measured by wins, while another will list all players by score (that is, the amount of total experience gained). The smoke grenade works as you’d expect, obscuring vision with a white cloud. from https://www.pcgamesn.com/fortnite/fortnite-patch-191-rocket-riding-smoke-grenade-leaderboards

The last update of Rainbow Six Siege's second year, Operation White Noise, is on the Technical Test Servers now and will go live next week. You can learn all about the new content - operators and whatnot - in our rundown, but we also need to discuss the technical and cosmetic side: balance changes, bug fixes, and skins. That's what we're here to do. Jumping into Siege for the first time? Here is our list of the best starter Operators. White Noise weapon skinsfrom https://www.pcgamesn.com/rainbow-six-siege/rainbow-six-siege-white-noise-patch-notes-weapon-skins-pistol-recoil I have never been to war so I can't tell you what it is like. But I think I can speculate on what it is not like. I doubt death and destruction always happen for a reason in war, especially not dramatically convenient ones. I doubt wars end, either for nations or individuals, on a neat resolution. And I doubt the events of wars are easy to follow and satisfyingly concluded. I doubt war is coherent. This is a problem that Call of Duty: WWII, and games (as well as films) similar to it consistently face: as soon as you turn war into entertainment you also have to give it a structured and comprehensible narrative. It is probably this process that causes the loss of the chaos and meaninglessness that characterises real-world conflict. Want our full opinion of Call of Duty: WWII? Read our review right here. Of this conundrum, COD: WWII's campaign is a heightened, almost luminous example. Its characters and scenarios are simple to understand, its objectives straightforward, every one of its plot elements either poetically or unobtrusively concluded. from https://www.pcgamesn.com/call-of-duty-wwii/call-of-duty-ww2-war-multiplayer-online This is a sponsored post courtesy of Wargaming. Two years in, Wargaming’s free-to-play naval action MMO is still locked in its own arms race. With six fully-fledged national tech trees already in the game, as well as vessels from Poland, Italy and the Commonwealth, the tactical vehicle shooter is poised to add nine new destroyers from Pan-Asian territories. New destroyers means new strategies, stories, and setups to discover - here are five reasons to try out the new Pan-Asia destroyers in World of Warships. Not got your sea legs yet?

Deepwater torpedoesfrom https://www.pcgamesn.com/world-of-warships/world-of-warships-pan-asia-destroyers An analyst at Mizuho Bank is suggesting AMD and Nvidia need to concentrate on their growth areas of PC and data centres as the draw of GPU mining becomes ever more limited next year. We're not convinced that’s true, and neither are AMD, they're not even convinced it's that important to their bottom line. We're starting to see more GPUs in the market, so here's our pick of the best graphics cards available today. Bitcoin has pushed through the $10,000/coin mark, prompting anyone who has ever sold a Bitcoin of their very own to curse their cowardice, avarice, and lack of foresight. At the same time it’s causing the victims of the Mt. Gox collapse to burst into loud, snotty sobs. But Bitcoin has long been beyond the realms of the GPU miner, with custom ASICs taking over, rendering our graphics cards useless. Well, except for making all your games look awesome. from https://www.pcgamesn.com/cryptocurrency-boom-times-over-or-not Thanks to the Shaman’s Unstable Evolution spell, Hearthstone players now think it may be possible to take out an opponent in a single turn - you just need a few things to arrange themselves in your favour. Redditor Mega544 devised the whole scheme, realising the power of Shamans with a couple of pirates in their deck. You’ll need to have a 1 cost pirate in your hand, such as Bloodsail Corsair, and Patches the Pirate somewhere in your deck. Patches will be summoned to the board the moment you play a pirate card, so, for the cost of your Bloodsail corsair, you have two cards out on the board. from https://www.pcgamesn.com/hearthstone/hearthstone-1-turn-win-combo-otk Custom loop experts EKWB recently reaffirmed their goal to create a closed-loop cooler with their MLC-Phoenix, but they aren’t the only company looking to bridge the gap between custom and closed coolers. On the flip side are Cooler Master, who are now dipping their toes into custom loops with their MasterLiquid Maker 240. Your PC may be perfect, but how’s your peripheral game? Here are the best gaming headsets around. It seems fitting for Cooler Master’s Maker series to involve a custom loop kit. They’ve been championing PC building creativity and all the weird and wonderful ideas that go with it for some time, and you can’t fit much more personal flourish into a build than you can with a custom loop. from https://www.pcgamesn.com/cooler-master-masterliquid-maker-240 If you hop over to the Star Citizen shop you can pick up a plot of land for $50. According to the item’s description this UEE Land Claim License entitles you to a 4km x 4km parcel of land that has been zoned for commercial, residential, or industrial use. This all sounds exceedingly official, so what exactly can players do with their $50 of virtual land on a virtual moon in a virtual galaxy? Firstly, you don’t get the assignment of land automatically. Instead, you’re buying a claim beacon - an item that looks like a staff with a blue light on the end. You jab this staff into the ground on any UEE planet, snap off the glowing tip (a memory module) and deliver that to a UEE Planetary Development office to lay claim to the land surrounding the staff. from https://www.pcgamesn.com/star-citizen/star-citizen-land-claim-license League of Legends' next big content patch is 7.24, bringing a special Christmas-themed version of URF, as well as a host of balance and bug fixes. Those include significant changes to Morgana, Galio and Zyra, as well as several smaller changes. Have a look below for all the information we've got, straight from the PBE. Want in? You'll need the best League of Legends champions. LoL Patch 7.24 Release Date And DowntimeWe don't know the exact release date for patch 7.24 yet, but the schedule is bi-weekly so expect it on Wednesday, December 6. We'll update when Riot do, but keep an eye on the server maintenance page for the latest updates. from https://www.pcgamesn.com/league-of-legends/league-of-legends-patch-724 Cobalt WASD is a multiplayer action platformer with grenades that stop time, and is due for release on December 1. It's interesting for another reason: it's published by Mojang, the creators of Minecraft. For more creative passion projects, check out the best indie games on PC. The original Cobalt was Mojang's first third-party published title, and it was a side-scrolling 2D RPG about adorable robots on a distant colony, with a cool time-manipulation mechanic at the core of its gameplay. Cobalt WASD is its more action-oriented successor, and introduces competitive team-play. Think of it like a side-scrolling Counter-Strike, if Counter-Strike had grenades that warp time. from https://www.pcgamesn.com/cobalt-wasd/cobalt-wasd-mojang-release-date |
