"The D.I.C.E. Awards are VERY important to me. I have been playing video games since there were video games. I hope there is some type of Dovahkiin Shout that will make sure I don't mess this up. I will find one! If not, I'll just look like a psychotic, screaming a**hole leading up to the Awar

Each of the remaining Game of the Year nominees (all of which placed on Game Rant's list of the Top 10 Games of 2012 ) earned multiple nominations, as well, with five for Borderlands 2 , seven for Far Cry 3 , eight for The Walking Dead , and three for XCOM: Enemy Unknown . Other heavily nominated games include Halo 4 (six nominations) and Dishonored (five nominatio

On the other hand, it is an SMG, meaning that it should serve close-range purposes first and foremost. Players who are not interested in this type of playstyle will probably choose other weapons , any

Aside from a lack of high round gameplay options and no map pool to choose from, the Zombies content that was available in Call of Duty Mobile was nothing like the original versions of said content. For example, the mode launched with the Shi No Numa map from Call of Duty: World at War . An early map that introduced hellhounds and had a fairly simple playstyle, the flow of the map was damaged heavily by the inclusion of Zombies mini bosses like the Avagadro from TranZit, Brutus from Mob of the Dead, and Napalm Zombies from Shangri-La. Not only did these enemy types make no sense on Shi No Numa, but they hurt the map’s tone and aesthetic, something that was already damaged due to some over-the-top original boss enem

The awards will be handed out on Thursday, February 7th, during the 2013 D.I.C.E. Summit in Las Vegas, and the ceremony will be streamed live on Machinima.com starting at 7:30pm PT. Nerdist head honcho/comedian Chris Hardwick will assume hosting duties for the event, replacing longtime host Jay M

Ranters, are there any games that you think the AIAS has unfairly overlooked? Do you find more any surprises among the nominations? And who would you pick to win the major categories? Let us know in the comments be

But this brings up an interesting question, most Call of Duty Zombies maps have a set of pre-made characters which the player controls, but in every game mode of Call of Duty: Mobile so far, the player controls a self created avatar. Will the new Zombies mode allow players to use their own avatars? And if so, will new zombies themed cosmetics come along with the game mode? There is still much to be learned about Call of Duty: Mobile 's Zombies mode, but fans will undoubtedly uncover all there is to see come tomorrow's rele

That said, one precedent that Call of Duty: Mobile has set is its penchant for returning extremely popular and beloved maps, characters, and items. This means players will likely get the chance to blow out zombie brains on maps like Nacht der Untoten, the first ever Nazi Zombies map from Call of Duty: World at War, and Five , in which the players take control of John F. Kennedy, Richard Nixon, Fidel Castro, and Robert McNam

If Call of Duty Mobile Zombies is going to make a comeback, there needs to be a newfound respect for the content being used. Much like how television and film adaptations of stories from books and games work best when they are accurate to the source material, Call of Duty Mobile Zombies staying faithful to Treyarch’s past work would make a big difference. While not every easter egg quest and audio recording needs to be included, adding as much as possible from the original version of the mode would be a major step in the right direct

The intuitive controls and nostalgic maps and characters combined with its portability and accessibility made for a great experience, but it was lacking one thing: zombies. Now, the developers have announced a release date for Call of Duty: Mobile Zombies, the dead will rise again tomorrow, Friday November 2

As a COD game, Mobile is certainly quite accessible and should feel familiar to fans of the franchise. That said, while playing the game, there are lots of mistakes even pro players make. These mistakes might not seem like that big of a deal, but correcting them can be the difference between defeat and vict

The player might feel confident in the number of bullets their gun can carry at a time, but they've actually set themselves up to be freebies in a match . Someone will be best served with a fast mag that carries a serviceable number of bullets but reloads really quic

As with any other successful Call of Duty Zombies game , providing a good map lineup will be crucial. While Call of Duty Mobile can do larger maps, as shown by the game’s battle royale content, focusing on balancing and keeping the mode’s personality intact should come first. As such, Call of Duty Mobile Zombies should start small, bringing in proper versions of the Call of Duty: World at War maps. Not only has Shi No Numa been in the game before, but Nacht Der Untoten was finished and ready to go before the mode was taken away. As such, only Verrukt and Der Riese would need to be added to complete the original map lin
