A massive surge of players have picked up Black Ops 2 on Xbox One with over 125k players online.
Clearly it seems its still the most loved CoD games of all time. After these stats i just wonder if the next CoD will come out with this remastered version for all platforms.
This season looks ready to be a corker with Hamilton and Vettel trading wins for Mercedes and Ferrari respectively. I think it'll be a 2 horse race already as their partners don't seem in the same calibre.
Also, good to hear Jenson Button will replace Alonso for Monaco whilst he pops off to try out the Indy 500.
I hope Hamilton pips Vettel - always good to have 2 teams battling each other, not just the drivers.

Now, you would think I wouldn't approve of these things but I must admit this one looks pretty damn good.
Can play 12 different game formats including features to save games and even burn them to an SD card. That is impressive.
All games are in HD so for a quick storage fix but still use cartridges from Mega Drive, SNES and Famicon then it looks the perfect device.
You can even load emulators if that's your thing. For £200 it seems fair for the features you get.
Change of plans for tomorrow. Just booked a surprise day out for the kids in Milton Keynes to a place called Gulliver's Land. We're also going to stop in a hotel near it so it lets them feel a little bit on a holiday. Lots of fun on rollercoasters to be had
What do you all want to see? What do you really hope Bungie will get right this time or not get rid of?
One of the biggest for me is having more choice on the number in your fireteam to do specific activities. If you could have up to 4/5 on strikes and up to 8 patrolling that would be brilliant. After all, the whole point of this game was to be social and its really annoying that the only event for a fireteam that is higher than 3 is the raids which is set to 6.
Doing existing stuff on Destiny 1 would be a whole lot more fun if you could do this (6/8 man Court of Oryx, Trials of Osiris 6v6, etc)
A recent datamine has uncovered the names of the next operators for the Hong Kong expansion on Rainbow 6 - Caltrop and Dazzler. It's also uncovered a bunch of new weapons and skins. Reddit found the following list:
QBZ 95 assault rifle
Concussion mine
Valkyrie, Smoke, and Glaz Pro League set
Capitao Elite skin
Kryptek Mandrake camo for Jäger, Smoke
Tachanka headgear
Mute reptile bundle
JS9 sub-machine gun
I've bolded out Tachanka's headgear as that's the first one I was drawn to. Here's hoping its a bulletproof upgrade rather than just a skin (I won't hold my breath).
Ubisoft have confirmed they are seriously considering removing the 2 second window Defenders have to jump out of buildings before being spotted.
Brand Director Alexandre Remy said “We’d like to see some changes to the timer for defenders leaving the building, mainly because of defenders that run outside to spawn kill at the start of the round. It’s tough, this one.”
It's one of the challenges of making a game that if they make a change and get it wrong they will seriously get some community backlash. I personally love the idea. I've had my fair share of good kills when I can jump out and nick a kill but I have to admit it's one of the worst feelings getting spawn killed and/or getting killed by a Defender that is outside the perimeter and you didn't spot where they were.
I think they will eventually change to a zero timer after tests. If youu're going to change from 2 seconds, you might as well remove it rather than leaving any specific time unidentified.
That's a great help @PlasticGaming and @phil bottle.
I'll start looking at the SSDs then and my start up menu. I think as I've only ever experienced slow issues over time with my PCs and laptops, it just seems to be expected. It would be ace to keep using my 2 year old samsung laptop for a while though and maybe get that to run quicker is the first port of call.
This looks amazeballs @PlasticGaming but unfortunately they currently ship to US, Canada, Puerto Rico, and APO's. :-(
You're making me re-look at my Mega Drive collection though, so I may see what eBay has to offer.
Good move Microsoft. They are following the footsteps of steam by allowing digital copies to be returned within 14 days of sale providing play has been less than 2 hours. They are starting to make some good gains as this follows LFG and clan type options within the UI of the Xbox One. I really hope Sony are watching and move with them. These are the elements that the ps4 are seriously behind.
Great convincing people. I geniunely need to know the answer to this if I look into a PC. I'm really not parting with my money until i know what to do on a regular basis. Via the FG App
Banner is so frickin good in a party, especially control too. I forget how good it is. Level 5 is going to be pretty easy to hit; I'm already at 3 with just a few 100 points to get to 4. I've only played about 7/8 games in total.
Plus light level has increased by 3 to 393 so definitely worth it.
Just thought I'd wish everyone Happy Easter and wondered what everyone has planned over the weekend? Extended break for me because of bank holiday Friday and Monday. Going for a meal with sister and brother in law but other than that, most probably playing games every night til late [emoji3]🖒
They've released 3 character bios so far and here's the latest one I stumbled upon, Clutch. Looks like they are following Overwatch in the space of hero designs. Good design to follow for such an iconic game as Quake. Via the FG App
Be aware that the latest broke something so Blizzard have disabled most other game modes until fixed. There isn't an ETA either right now. Via the FG App
Starts this Saturday 15th April at 2pm GMT for all European players to join North American players on beta already. Sign up here if you haven't already done so. http://www.gran-turismo.com/us/news/00_4079128.html Also, great news as EA has had their licence with Porsche expire which means they can now be used by Gran Turismo. I'm ecstatic about that because I would need a 911 if i get this game.
Can't believe I didn't realise Mira's ability to put a glass section in a reinforcement means externally it's blacked out so they can't see you looking out through it. Works well on Favalas. Via the FG App
English version now released Also, here's the origin story. I love how they are a minute long but they already convey a better storyline than Destiny 1 in how they deliver it. Developer Update Video Via the FG App
