]]> european.tournament.squad@googlemail.com ( ) Crysis 2 PC Multiplayer hacks already surfaced Switch to German!

It seems that Crytek’s bad luck continues,
as the first hacks for Crysis 2’s multiplayer mode have already appeared.
We knew it would happen someday, but we’d assumed it would be after the game’s launch.
The fact that there are already hacks means that Crytek need to address them as soon as possible.
Otherwise, the multiplayer mode will be dead before even anyone starts playing it.

[toggle=read more]
Add to all of these the sound issues, the absence of DX11 support,
the limited graphical options and the text issues and it is quite obvious
that the PC version needs some extra love.

There are two hacks that you might encounter in your multiplayer games.
The Speedhack and the Spawnkill. The Spawnkill is more frustrating.
Basically anyone that uses it can kill all the players that get spawned.

We strongly suggest informing Crytek if you encounter any of these two (or more) hacks.
Let’s just hope that they will fix them before it’s too late!

]]> european.tournament.squad@googlemail.com ( ) Treyarch discuss possibility of a futuristic Call of Duty Switch to German!
A Game Director at Treyarch has said that a Call of Duty game set in the future “would be
pretty fantastic”. When asked if Treyarch would be up for creating a futuristic Call of Duty,
he said “I think the answer is ‘yes.’”
Game Director David Vonderhaar was talking to Machinima about the future of the Call of Duty
series when he made the comments, saying “we have not announced any new Call of Duty games
at this time but to answer his specific question I think, personally, it would be pretty fantastic
to do near-future, you know?

[toggle=read more]
Not necessarily far-future,” adding that “I think it would be kind of a unique opportunity but the way that this
works out is obviously more complicated than ‘Hey. Me and Treyarch are going to make a near-future shooter.
It’s a tough question to answer.”

Development of the Call of Duty games is handed off between Treyarch and Infinity Ward.
Treyarch made last year’s Call of Duty: Black Ops, and it looks as though a team effort from Infinity Ward,
Raven and Sledgehammer will bring us Modern Warfare 3 later this year. Beyond that,
the baton will likely pass back to Treyarch.
What do you think, would you like to see a Call of Duty game set in the future?

]]> european.tournament.squad@googlemail.com ( ) Duke Nukem Forever Has A Release Date Switch to German!
Duke Nukem Forever has been in development for a little while.
To give you a sense of just how much time has passed since it was first announced,
Gran Turismo--a series known for its punctuality--saw releases 1-5 hit shelves in the
intervening years. Skepticism turned to actual anticipation last September,
when Gearbox unveiled Duke Nukem Forever in playable form at PAX.

OK, so the game was really, really, real. A lingering question remained,
however: When would we be able to finally take this thing home and play it?
[toggle=read more]As it turns out, we now know when that's happening.
"Somehow the guys at Game Informer magazine discovered Duke Nukem Forever's launch date before
I did," joked Randy Pitchford, president of Gearbox Software and executive producer of Duke Nukem Forever.
"But I cannot imagine any better video game news source team than Game Informer to reveal
the moment of truth for the most inconceivable, incorrigible and inspiring turn around story in the history
of the video game industry - the coming of Duke Nukem Forever on May 3, 2011."

“The moment fans all over the world have been waiting for is almost here,” says Christoph Hartmann,
president of 2K. “May 3, 2011 marks Duke’s return as he unleashes his brash and brutally honest wit on the world.
His return is going to be epic and one that will make video gaming history!”

May 3 is the North American release date. May 6 is worldwide.

]]> european.tournament.squad@googlemail.com ( ) Call of Duty Black Ops Most Pirated Game of 2010 Switch to German!
After 2010 came to an end, we taking a look at the most pirated games of the year.

Call of Duty: Black Ops is the absolute winner in the PC games category this year.
On Xbox 360 Dante’s Inferno receives the same honor, while Super Mario Galaxy 2
scoops the title of most pirated Wii game of 2010.

[toggle=read more]Call of Duty: Black Ops has already broken quite a few records last year.
With 5.6 million copies sold in the 24 hours following its release,
the game surpassed Modern Warfare 2 as the largest entertainment launch in history.

Therefore, it would come as no surprise if the game repeated this success on BitTorrent.
And indeed, Black Ops takes the honor of most pirated game on the PC last year,
a title which went to Modern Warfare in 2009. Even though it has only been available for a few weeks,
the game beat Battlefield: Bad Company 2 by a wide margin with 4,270,000 downloads in total.

Despite this ‘success’, Black Ops does not lead the Xbox 360 and Wii lists.

As expected, Mario and Donkey Kong are in high demand on the Wii with a 1st and 3rd place respectively.
Wii Party is listed in second place with well over a million downloads,
while Black Ops fell a few thousand downloads short to make it into the top 5.

On the Xbox 360 the title of most pirated game goes to Dante’s Inferno.
This game was released in February and amassed a total of 1,280,000 downloads,
beating Black Ops which ended up in 5th place with 930,000 downloads.
The latter, however, did make the headlines several times due to an early leak.

Weeks before the official release of Black Ops, reports came in that the Xbox 360 version
had already leaked to BitTorrent. Although not all “leaks” turned out to be legit,
a copy of the game did eventually come out a week before it hit the stores.
This, despite efforts from Treyarch’s community manager Josh Olin to stop it.
