Halo 4 - Rank System and Unlocks detailed!

Spartan-IV Career

When you first enter Infinity Multiplayer, you automatically enlist into the SPARTAN-IV program and begin your Spartan career. This career spans all of your gameplay in War Games, Spartan Ops, Forge and Theater.

New SPARTAN-IV recruits are issued the following gear:

• Assault Rifle
• Magnum
• Frag Grenade
• Recruit Armor, Emblem, Visor and Stance

Stances are a new customization option that let you select a pose for your Spartan on your Player Card. This card is seen in every multiplayer lobby in the game and is how your Spartan is identified outside of gameplay.

You will have to rise up through the Spartan ranks to unlock more gear and make your way through the SPARTAN-IV program.

Spartan-IV Ranks

Spartans begin their career in the base SPARTAN-IV ranks. There are 50 ranks to work your way through, from SR-1 to SR-50, unlocking gameplay and visual customization items as you rank up.

To rank up, you need to earn XP. You earn XP by:

• Playing War Games (earn more for winning and high personal score)
• Playing Spartan Ops (earn more for higher difficulties)
• Completing each level of a Commendation
• Completing Challenges
• Using Forge

Visual Customization

All Spartan-IVs start out with the same Recruit look. As you rank up, this is reflected in the look of your Spartan, which is visible to other players in gameplay and every Multiplayer lobby.

Visual customization items such as Armor, Armor Skins, Weapon Skins, Visors, Emblems and Stances are unlocked through several means:

• Earning a specific SR rank
• Earning a specific rank in a Specialization
• Mastering a Commendation
• Completing a Waypoint goal

Black Ops 2 - Zombies In-Depth Details!

After months of speculating, the veil has finally been lifted on Call of Duty: Black Ops 2's Zombie gameplay. While we still haven't gotten a chance to try it, a recent visit to Treyarch resulted in a glut of information about the evolution of the mode, and what fans can expect on November 13th. What started as something simple and silly, a treat for those who beat Call of Duty: World at War, is being developed into the biggest, most fully-featured Zombies game yet.

The biggest change to Call of Duty: Black Ops 2's Zombie gameplay comes in the form of its campaign mode. Titled Tranzit, this tosses you and up to three of your friends into the biggest world the team at Treyarch has ever created for Zombies. Your goal in Tranzit is simple: kill all the undead that you come across and leave a trail of bodies in your wake. You and your team jump between a number of locales along the way, doing what appears to be defensive stands and clearing them out before moving on to the next place. However, getting from place to place isn't a simple loading screen, but instead requires you to get there by foot or by bus. It's unclear whether or not you'll be able to steer the bus, but the first trailer makes it pretty clear you'll be defending yourself and perhaps even building barricades in order to survive the journey between survival spots.

You'll also have plenty to look out for while you're battling in the zombie-infested wasteland, as Tranzit now includes "buildables," something Treyarch describes as elements you can put together to do things like open up new parts of the world or make weapons. As for how the campaign ends? That's anyone's guess. Treyarch is playing whatever story it's inserting into Tranzit close to its chest, which fits with its strategy of letting the fans parse together the narrative through message boards and other online communities.

If Tranzit doesn't sound like your thing, if you're the type of person that just wants to hop in with friends and defend a single position, you'll be pleased to hear that Survival mode is returning with Black Ops 2. Playable either solo or with three friends, Survival offers the classic survival experience wherein you build defenses and hold out. The nitty-gritty details haven't been discussed, but the environments you play in are apparently custom-made takes on locations from the Tranzit campaign.

Cooperative play isn't for everyone, and while Black Ops 2 will feature a competitive multiplayer mode as well, Treyarch's also developing a new take on competitive play for Zombies called Grief. Internally the team at Treyarch likes to refer to Grief as "4z4," because unlike traditional competitive games both sides have to deal with a third party that wants their brains -- the Zombies. In Grief, your only goal is to have your team outlive the other, but, unlike every other Call of Duty mode you've ever played, you can't shoot other players. Instead you have to "grief" them and get the zombies to do the work for you. Treyarch's being disappointingly mum in regards to how "griefing" actually works, so for now we're left to speculate about how we'll be attempting to kill our friends come November.

If there's a rule or any other part of Zombies' three modes that you don't like, Treyarch wants you to tweak them and create your own using the Custom games feature -- a first for Zombies. You can live out your hardcore zombie fantasy and make it so only headshots kill, turn off magic items and set your starting round.

Previously, the Zombie portion of Treyarch's Call of Duty games felt like a distraction, a way to break up the multi-hour sessions with the competitive multiplayer. Black Ops 2 aims to change it into something on par with the multiplayer and campaign. This isn't just a mode, it's a series of modes buried within a game, a testament to Treyarch's dedication to the fans. Without their input and devotion, Zombies wouldn't exist as it does today.

Black Ops II - Leveling Up System Explained!

We are coming ever closer to the release of Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 and there is still heaps of content to talk about. One major factor of the game will be how we rank up and what we get for doing it, luckily David Vonderhaar of Treyarch took to the Black Ops 2 forums recently, explaining the whole process from start to finish.

For starters, each prestige level will feature 55 levels, with the amount of experience points needed within similar to that of Call of Duty: World At War. Vahn did state however, it will be very easy to level up with the never-ending amount of XP from medals you collect, challenges you complete and extra bonus XP from leveling up guns.

Like previous Call of Duty titles, once you reach level 4 you unlock the Create-a-Class feature (read more about the Pick 10 Create-a-Class system). As for unlocking the guns and equipment in-game, every time you level up you will receive a token as a reward, so by reaching level 4 you will have 4 tokens, simple right! These tokens can be used to unlock a range of hardware, but luckily when you reach level 4, Treyarch have some free guns and equipment to get you on your way, effectively one item from each category.

 

• 1 Assault Rifle
• 1 SMG
• 1 LMG
• 1 Shotgun
• 1 Sniper Rifle
• 1 Perk from each of the 3 perk categories
• 1 lethal grenade
• 1 tactical grenade/equipment

Once you reach level 10 things will start to become more settled and a pattern will emerge. Every time you reach an extra 3 levels, it will be seen as a major rank change and you will be rewarded for reaching it with a gun or “something else”.

In general, it goes like this.

• Level 10 – Weapon + Something Else
• Level 11 – Equipment (either lethal or tactical).
• Level 12 – Scorestreak

“This pattern then repeats through all 55 levels with some minor statistical variations or bonuses when they make sense and because the math can’t be perfect,” said Vahn.

The new system has gone down well with fans, which is good as it’s a major feature in the game.

Alien: Colonial Marines - Escape Mode!

Gearbox has revealed details of a new multiplayer mode for Aliens: Colonial Marines. It's called Escape, and pits a team of four US colonial marines against – you've guessed it – a team of four playable Xenomorphs. The mode has the added pressure of a time limit, in which the soldiers must stay alive and make their way to the evacuation zone. Meanwhile, the Xenomorphs must hunt down and kill the marines.

The Xenomorphs aren't all the same, however, there are distinct classes. The Xenomorph Soldier is highly resistant to damage and excels at close combat; the Xeno Lurker is the fastest and most agile of the aliens, possessing a "quick strike" ability which lets them pin marines to the ground; finally, there's the Xeno Spitter which can attack marines from a distance by spraying acid from its "cranial acid pouches". Charming.

SEGA says that players "will have to work together as a team, utilizing each faction’s unique skills, and identifying their opponents’ weak spots to either reach the safety of the escape point or to eliminate their targets". No details were given regarding the abilities of the marines, but presumably one of you will have the nerve-shredding job of monitoring the motion detector.

Gears Of War: Judgement - Free For All?

Gears of War: Judgment is adding free-for-all multiplayer to the franchise. This is the first time Gears of War will have anything other than team-based competitive modes online.

Developer People Can Fly have been mixing things up with Judgment, with OverRun multiplayer combining past Gears of War modes, Beast and Horde, to create a different kind of two-team match type. Meanwhile, the campaign is a prequel story centered on Damon Baird and Augustus Cole.

Black Ops II Nuketown Zombies?!

It appears Nuketown is coming to Black Ops II's Zombies mode. Treyarch and Activision have been teasing Call of Duty: Black Ops II information for the past few days on Facebook, and fans are starting to see the payoff. A concept image of the "Welcome to Nuketown" sign features "ZOMBIES" painted in blood.

Battlefield 3 - Armored Kill Release Dates Announced!

Armored Kill, the large-scale, vehicle-focused muliplayer add-on for Battlefield 3, releases on PlayStation 3 September 4 for Battlefield Premium members. Xbox 360 and PC Premium members will get the expansion the following week on September 11.

Four new maps, five new vehicles, and a new game mode -- Tank Superiority, a chaotic capture-fest with one control-point -- come included in the Armored Kill add-on. If you're not a member of the paid service, Armored Kill will be available for download on September 18 for PS3 and September 25 on 360 and PC.

Command and Conquer

The new command and conquer game has been announced by EA as being a free to play game, however there is no doubt that  premium content  and dlc will be available for a certain price. I have  played a number of command and conquer games, and have really enjoyed them i just  can't help but think that this direction is not the way forward for the game. Age of empires is an example that helps support this, having endless restrictions in a free to play game with an option to buy them just seams like a way to make more money out of the same content if the game had a price to buy originally.

Anyway i'l certainly give it a chance and would suggest you do to

New Sim City

Im sure many of you out there have heard about the new sim city game and from the looks of this screenshot, the classic game has gone under a serious makeover.

More Halo 4 News!

This is the latest news for Halo 4! Release Date: November 6th.

Halo 4

It is my personal belief that halo is one of the best games ever created, although i admit that is a very strong statement.

 Halo 4 will be the first halo game not created by bungie, it is instead being developed by 343 industries. This fledgling company have alot to live up to and a huge responsibility as they will progress the story-line of the beloved master chief . The events that take place in halo 4 will not only bring back the iconic character of Chief but they will also introduce a new enemy alongside the refurbished covenant.This new enemy appears to have forerunner technology, and the chief will have to battle them as well as the covenant to survive.

The flood have been confirmed as not appearing in halo4 but i'm sure there not finished yet.

If your as much of a halo fan as i am or if you just want to learn about the halo universe the forerunner saga is a good place to start the first two books "Cryptum" and "Primordium" explore the fascinating world of the forerunners and the creation of the halo's that are so iconic to this game.

Gears Of War Judgement Gameplay

Gears Of War: Judgment is actually a prequel to the first Gears game following Cole and Baird as they deal with the aftermath of Emergence Day in the coastal city of Halvo Bay.

Undead Labs Announces State of Decay!

So i was surfing the internet for some new black ops zombie news and i found a video on IGN for a new game called "State of Decay".

The video really interested me and got me exited, so i did some research of my own.
undead labs describe the game as follows..

The end is here. Life as you knew it has gone to hell after the mother of all zombie outbreaks. Now you and the few scattered survivors must band together to survive and rebuild in a 3rd-person action game set in a dynamic open world. You choose where to make your stand, designing and fortifying your home base, performing daring raids for food and ammunition, and rescuing other playable survivors with unique talents. The open, sandbox world develops in real-time, shaped by your actions, dynamically generating content based on your choices and the ever-increasing zombie threat.
