Cloud9 Interview: Karnage, Cotto, Rolex, and Ian Huston

What are some of your other favorite games to play, just for yourselves, not for competition? Are they still multiplayer titles, or do professional competitors like yourselves see multiplayer as work and single player as entertainm

E3 2018 was full of fantastic game reveals, and as such some may have expected Square Enix to be one of the most exciting parts of the expo. After all, the publisher has a number of giant games in the pipeline, including the likes of the Final Fantasy 7 Remake . Unfortunately, Square Enix's conference was perhaps the most disappointing of E3 20

Crunch has been a contentious topic in gaming as more light is shed on unhealthy working conditions within the industry, and this casual reveal once again sparked discussion, with some wondering whether realistic horse testicles were really worth pushing developers far beyond safe boundaries from both a physical and mental health perspect

Dead by Daylight proved horror multiplayer games still had legs in 2016, and Friday the 13th: The Game kept the momentum going in 2017. Gun Media's faithful preservation of the Friday the 13th horror aesthetic was met with near-universal praise, and while server issues and a choppy launch dulled the luster of Friday the 13th: The Game a little, it still made its way onto most gamers' playlists at some po

The standalone Fortnite Battle Royale has been praised as a creative, colorful take on survival multiplayer, a sub-genre of the medium that has absolutely exploded in 2017. While most survival multiplayer games are dreary by necessity, Fortnite Battle Royale somehow adds vibrancy and an evolving canvas of options to players while still preserving the feeling of impending doom that makes it a heart-pounding endeavor. The sky is the limit for Epic Games' Fortnite Battle Royale in 20

One of the worst and most obvious cases of poor terrain interactions shows up when driving a vehicle in PUBG . Random map geometry can snag a car and bring it to an immediate halt or swerve it off course. And in severe cases, cars can do a complete flip while driving on seemingly smooth ground. While it's good for a laugh, competitive players won't laugh long if that flipped car was supposed to save them from the blue cir

Quite simply, Square Enix's conference was a waste of time for everyone involved, with really nothing new to say whatsoever. Games like Just Cause 4 and Kingdom Hearts 3 had bizarre reveals before Square Enix's presentation had even taken place, while those missing E3 2018 games were very obvious in their absence. Fans of the publisher felt deflated when all was said and done, wondering whether some of the biggest projects Square Enix had in the works were in trou

2017 was a transcendent year for multiplayer video games. While the form has always had a place in the hearts of millions of different users, the past year felt like a coming out party for multiplayer on a global stage. While LAN parties have been gone for the better part of a decade now, the image of a group of gamers huddled around networked computer screens has nonetheless remained prevalent in association with the concept of multiplayer tit

Added new weapon Mk14 EBR (Enhanced Battle Rifle). Mk14 EBR is a Designated Marksman Rifle that can only be obtained from Carepackages. This weapon is chambered for 7.62mm and sniper rifle attachments

The Mk14 is a semi-auto sniper rifle weapon comparable to the game's current SKS, as another crate-only weapon however, the chances of getting it (and other care package items) is becoming increasingly rare. With the previous rifle add-on (the Groza), soon the game will have to cycle some of these weapons into the regular loot ta

Fortnite is something of a unique presence on this list in the sense that it was never really supposed to take the form it has now become known for. The original intent behind the game was to create a co-op sandbox survival experience, and while that form of the game has still found success, it is the existence of Fortnite Battle Royale that sees the Slg game Dlc included as a multiplayer standout from 2

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is incredible for the simple fact that it might be the best iteration of a survival multiplayer game the world has ever seen—balancing has been impeccable, strategies are numerous, and the difficulty of the game is just satisfying enough that many players have experienced a victory at least once while retaining enough of a challenge to keep them coming back to chase that post-victory high. The game is still a work in progress, too, so there's every reason to believe that PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is on a skyward trajectory that might not have even reached its peak as of yet—scary thinking for competitors, but for fans of the game, a promising beginning to the new y

When the PlayStation Classic finally arrived, the critic reviews were underwhelming . A reliance on the PAL versions of the game left NTSC users dealing with what seemed to be sluggish ports, while the absence of titles like Crash Bandicoot was made all the more apparent at launch. Hardly a fitting celebration for such a great cons
