I'd love to say Halo, but until Infinite provides itself as the series comeback.... I guess it would be Call of Duty: Cold War right now, It is certainly not finished, but I am enjoying it!

Day 4 is here, and we had some amazing gameplay to watch today! London, Dallas, LA Thieves, and Florida have were all sent home in Day 3 and NYSL proved that they are ready to win by sending FaZe to the elimination bracket and securing their spot in the championship round.
Today we have the best of the best going head-to-head for the shot at NYSL in the championship round with Ultra, OpTic, and FaZe all in the running for that chance! Ultra wants to win two in a row and FaZe is ready to prove that the last Major loss was simply a fluke, but OpTic and of course the Subliners are looking for their own 2021 Major win and currently the Subliners are the team to beat.
Game 1 - Toronto Ultra VS OpTic Chicago
3-2 Ultra
OpTic’s slaying ability has been running wild and this game was no different as the first Hardpoint was nearly turned into a TDM with OpTic dominating every gunfight and going up 1-0 in the series. S&D would open with Ultra making a stand to show OpTic that they would need to do more than just win gunfights and OpTic answered to make an epic S&D series between the two teams with Ultra’s teamwork taking a remarkably close win after a series of amazing games to make things 1-1!
Control dropped next with OpTic’s slaying ability showing off and ruining the team play of Ultra, but it would not be long until Ultra recovered and turned it into a solid series once again! Ultra would pull of some kill streaks to make the difference in Control and make it 2-1 in favor of Ultra. Hardpoint would start the 4th game and OpTic would start to run away with the lead to begin the game with Ultra being unable to rally to prevent OpTic from tying up the series at 2-2
Game 5 was on with Raid S&D and even with Ultra heavily favored, OpTic decided to put them on the defensive with two dominate early wins. Round 11 had the teams at 5-5 and Ultra used their kill streak with no results but they were not out of it yet as OpTic would go for the bomb plant and during the retake Ultra would wipe the board and win the series 3-2.
Game 2 – Toronto Ultra VS Atlanta FaZe
3-2 Faze
Ultra started this series Hardpoint nearly identical to last series against OpTic and seemed to be getting outgunned in every gun battle and FaZe would start off with a 1-0 lead in the series with a fairly dominate win. Ultra's teamwork and also Cammy would lead them to win the following S&D to tie the series up 1-1 and things were looking very familiar to the last series for Ultra.
Game 3's Control was nearly a sure win for Ultra with their current 13 win streak in the mode, but FaZe was ready to end a streak today and won 3-0 on Control to go up 2-1 in the series. Ultra wasn't going down easy as Game 4 would bring Hardpoint out again and we got to witness one of the closest games of Control this year and a mere 15 points would get Ultra the win to continue the series tied up at 2-2!
Game 5 landed us back on S&D and FaZe looked like they were truly seeking revenge for Major 2 and won with a dominate performance for both their team and individual players! FaZe was on their way to a championship game with a 3-2 win.
Game 3 – Atlanta FaZe VS New York Subliners
5-2 FaZe
Major 3's final would start out with a very solid Hardpoint that showed an epic showdown between two titans was about to go down! After a very close start and numerous lead changes, NYSL would show off some amazing gun fighting skills and take the win to start out 1-0. S&D had FaZe come out in Game 2 showing a great start, but NYSL was ready to make a comeback until Simp ruined their plans and FaZe would tie things up at 1-1 on the series. FaZe didn't need Simp to save them from a loss in Game 3 as Control was in their control from the start and FaZe easily went up 2-1!
Game 4 had NYSL showing many positives and team fight wins that didn't matter much as FaZe won when it counted and came out with a second dominate win in a row to go up 3-1 on the series. NYSL picked Game 5 to be S&D on Miami and they needed a win here to stay in the series. The map choice really slowed down FaZe's fast paced play style and it seemed to work, as NYSL would win to get back into the match down 2-3.
The Checkpoint Control that made Game 6 was a defensive battle that was only broke by a single FaZe push to win the last offensive chance due to lives. It was an epic end to the game to make the series 4-2 in favor of FaZe! Game 7 would finish things up with an incredible series in Raid S&D by FaZe that reminded us why they have been the team to beat! At 5-2 FaZe would go on to claim their spot as the winners of Major 3! Congrats!
Arcitys was named Player of the Stage for Stage III and it was well earned!

Welcome to Uncrowned Gaming! We are just getting the community up and running and are glad to see you have joined! my questions, just let me know!

With Seattle Surge and Paris Legion eliminated during day 1, day 2 lined up for two more teams to join them in the elimination pool as the day started off with two exciting elimination bracket matches. Afterwards the rematch Ultra vs Faze would be the highlight coming into the day and also the highlight event of the series so far with an epic showdown. If you thought day 1 was full of good matches, than prepare yourself for an even wilder day 2!
Game 1 - London Royal Ravens vs Minnesota Røkkr
3-0 London
Priestahh started the match trying to win that series all by himself and oh my did he come close with a 13 kill streak to get things going for Røkkr! But beyond the massive killstreak to start things off, it appeared that Minnesota may have invited London to watch over their practice as the London Royal Ravens simply seemed to have the best play call lined up for everything Minnesota threw at them. London took the 3-0 win and continues to impress and surprise as they continue their march though the elimination bracket.
Game 2 - Los Angeles Guerrillas vs OpTic Chicago
3-1 Chicago
Many fans were waiting for OpTic to come out and show that old championship style after a lackluster 2021 season so far, but it rapidly turned into hoping for signs of life from OpTic as LAG seemed to be doing everything right from the very beginning of the first game. OpTic would start to come alive during game 2 as they barely held off LAG to win out in S&D. However, OpTic would continue to turn things around and win out with a 3-1 series, but it was not the prettiest win. I didn't see a championship winning team in this match but OpTic now has some wins under them and will continue to move up in the elimination bracket.
Game 3 - Atlanta FaZe vs Toronto Ultra
3-2 Atlanta
If you hoped for a great rematch from last major’s championship, then you go your wish and more! An amazing lineup of epic games that all seemed to come down to the wire and each team played better than ever! Gunfights were near perfect in every game and I can only suggest that you go watch the VOD on this matchup if you missed it as you missed an amazing set of games. Faze seemed to be close to a 3-0 match win in a set of games that all could have gone either way when Ultra decided to step is up and tried to win with a reverse sweep of the series. Faze ended up pulling off an epic 5 win spree in S&D to end Ultra's push and seal their 3-2 match victory to send Ultra to the elimination bracket.
Game 4 - Florida Mutineers vs New York Subliners
3-0 Florida
Florida came into this game with a lot of motivation and head strong to redeem their poor start in the 2021 league, but NYSL must have been burning the overtime in their game plans and prep work as Florida never seemed to be able to get ahead of the NYSL strategy. Every game showed Florida having to improvise and react to a poor situation as NYSL just did everything right. The judges might want to make sure they weren't screen sniping in this match as it was not even close and Florida got sent to the elimination bracket.
Tomorrow will bring us a new set of games to try and add even more to this event's epic matches so far as Minnesota and LAG pack their bags for their run in this tournament is over. Faze and NYSL seemed to play prefect games today but one will have to advance to the championship round tomorrow as we watch the elimination bracket grow even smaller. Tune in tomorrow for even more action!

Today marked the first day of the 2021 Call of Duty League’s Stage 3 Major with two Elimination Bracket matches and two Winners Bracket matches to kick off the event. Both Elimination matches turned out to be quite exciting as 4 teams tried to advance in the Elimination bracket with Match 2 being an absolute thriller of a match full of some crazy games!
The Winners Bracket would prove to be a stunner as not only did Faze show signs of their past glory, but Huke and the Thieves were ready to put up an amazing match against the Mutineers. Check out the round up of today’s matched below.
Match 1 – Paris Legion vs London Royal Ravens
3-1 London
The Royal Ravens came out fighting and winning their games in a fairly dominating match against the Legion to start things off at CoD’s Stage 3 Major. Legion worked to achieve many openings to flip the games in their favor, but could not pull off a comeback once London gained the lead and London ended up defeating the Legion with a solid showing.
Match 2 – Seattle Surge vs Los Angeles Guerrillas
3-1 Los Angeles
The 3-1 victory from the Guerrilas was earned by some of the best games of the day and we got to watch some wild strategies play out for both teams. Things went favorably for the Guerrillas until Surge’s Pestinni made what had to of been the ninja defuse of the major to lead Surge on a motivated spree to tie things up. Things continued to look like some of the best games of the tournament (although someone will challenge this later) until things came unraveled for Seattle in game 4 and LA came out of top.
Match 3 – Dallas Empire vs Atlanta Faze
3-0 Atlanta
Match 3 got off to a late start due to some technical delays in Match 2 but the rematch of the Major 1 final was worth the wait. Faze would start the first game like Empire forgot to show to the game, but in no time Empire would start digging in and turned it into what seemed the first of an amazing matchup even with their loss on that game. However, Faze was ready to prove the doubters wrong and seemed dominate as they pulled off a 3-0 sweep to send Empire to the Elimination Bracket.
Match 4 – Los Angeles Thieves vs Florida Mutineers
3-1 Florida
Thieves came out making some awkward team mistakes but rapidly turned things around to make the first game an epic showdown as they took the loss to the Mutineers. The mistakes would stop there and the follow up games would become the best of the day! The 3-1 match is certainly worth a rewatch as every game came down to the final plays and there was certainly no shortage of big moments. However, the Mutineers would come out on top and the Thieves will join Empire in the Elimination bracket.
Tomorrow will be bring many exciting matches to the event including a rematch of last Major’s championship match with Faze vs Ultra! We can’t wait to see the action and excitement live tomorrow at 12 PM PST/3 PM EST as day 2 hopefully proves to be even more epic for all of our CoD Fans!

The latest update provided by 343 Industries (Inside Infinite - April 2021) about the development of the upcoming Halo Infinite game has a heavy take on the PC gaming side and just about everything in the article is extremely promising news for the title. The update starts out with an absolute amazing screenshot of a Forerunner facility utilizing an ultrawide display and the team follows up that already exciting news with a detailed look of numerous aspect ratios and the benefits I have just how optimized the game is supposed to be for ultrawide displays on PC.
On top of the ultrawide settings, the team also reveals some screenshots detailing the field of view settings and how much they can be increased on high powered PC's. I must admit that 120 FOV on a 32:9 display looks fantastic at this point. Additionally, to the surprise of many, the game is also optimized to run at a 4:3 aspect ratio if players are looking for the classic Halo franchise experience.
Graphical settings for the PC version of the game got a sneak peek via a screenshot that show numerous settings and adjustments available to the players. These were also accompanied by very robust keymapping settings menu for multiple input devices. The team did not get into much detail on what settings will also be available on the Xbox version, but PC players will certainly be able to customize the game as they see fit.
Cross platform multiplayer was also detailed in this update with the team stating that they are focusing on making the cross-platform experience as enjoyable as possible. Input based matchmaking seems to be the favor of both the players and the development team, and my personal preference for cross platform matchmaking, so that is an incredibly good sign as a PC player looking to play with their Xbox based friends. However, the update does have a little worrisome notation in it that states input based restrictions are for ranked matches. This is worrisome for me personally as I have yet to really find a game that perfectly balances controllers and mouse and keyboard users within the same lobby. Hopefully, the input-based restrictions will be for all multiplayer matches by the final release, beyond co-op modes.
Older and less powerful PCs were also mentioned as the team noted that they have taken a significant effort in trying to balance gameplay between high spec PC's and low performance PC's during multiplayer. This was also followed up by some screenshots of the Halo Infinite world and Forerunner sites that look amazing. Halo news based YouTuber HiddenXperia has pointed out that these screenshots do contain graphical problems such as units clipping into walls, so hopefully he is correct in the assumption that these issues will be fixed by the full release of the game.
Otherwise, the team has listed the currently planned platforms the game will launch on being Steam, Xbox Store on PC, Xbox Game Pass, Xbox Game Pass for PC, and of course through the Xbox Store or in a box on the shelf for the console version.

The founder of inXile Entertainment and director of the Wastelands series, Brian Fargo, teased on Twitter some details of the first DLC for Wastelands 3 and that the game will have two total DLC expansions. He also stated that smaller additions will continue to be added to the game alongside the DLC expansions.
The first DLC, The Battle of Steeltown, will focus on a new area that supplies the Wasteland with guns and vehicles but appears to be having trouble as of late. While details were very limited beyond the overall goal seemingly being to solve some sort of problem in this new area, the trailer had a heavy focus on combat and some new mech style enemies.
June 3rd is the release date for the new DLC and we are excited to see what the content will bring! Hopefully with only two DLC being planned, both will bring a large amount of content to the game. No prices were listed, but all platforms were listed in the trailer with the same June 3rd release date. You can view the trailer below!

Leaker Tom Henderson has been pushing out numerous leaks and rumors about the upcoming Battlefield 6 title as of late and most recently has touched on last gen consoles and Game Pass. Tom has been a noteworthy and reliable leaker of the Battlefield series, but we must always add that these items are not official or confirmed in any manner.
Starting with the leaks about last generation consoles (PlayStation 4 and Xbox One), Tom stated in a Tweet that the developers do not seem to have any plan to push for launching the title on older systems and will focus entirely on Next Gen consoles like the PlayStation 5 and Xbox One Series S/X. Granted his leak is focused on the lack of information and seems to touch on how Call of Duty pushing to include last gen consoles is making the development tough, so these are far from concrete leaks.
The leaker also listed the new game as being an Xbox Game Pass game and releasing on the subscription service day 1. He fails to back this up with any reasoning or evidence, but with the recent partnership between EA Play and Game Pass seemingly going well and EA needing a way to break the hold that Call of Duty has on the military FPS market it is a entirely possibility. Granted, this will not be a land slide win for the Battlefield series as even on Game Pass, it will have to complete with the hype giant that will be launching also be launching on day 1, Halo Infinite.
For those a bit confused by the EA Play and Game Pass partnership, Xbox Game Pass now includes EA Play games on both console and PC. However, this is only regular EA Play games and new EA games are only available on their EA Play Premiere service or by simply purchasing the game for around the first six months.
Overall, these leaks appear to be entirely practicable and reasonable directions for Battlefield 6, but we just do not have any evidence to back them up. Hopefully, earlier leaks hold true, and we should be getting a teaser trailer in the coming month or two.

While official details about EA’s Battlefield 6 are extremely limited and mostly non-existent, the past few days have seen numerous “leaks” and rumors flooding reddit and other sources via insiders (or at least people claiming to be insiders). These rumors seem to indicate that Battlefield 6 will not even be called Battlefield 6 and will likely just have the name Battlefield along with a strong focus on a Battle Royale mode.
The rumors about the Battle Royale mode are all very practical as they state the mode will support up to 128 players while also enabling Battlefield’s destructive environments to separate it from other Battle Royale games. This is certainly a reasonable rumor as it would be highly unlikely that Battlefield would not feature their destructive environment as it is such a focused game feature and marketing value of their Frostbite engine.
The game will also have its normal core gameplay modes although previous rumors have stated that Dice, the developer of the game, is aiming to make some changes to the format and create a multiplayer full of game modes featuring very realistic warfare situations. However additional rumors have surfaced that the new battlefield game may allow players to utilize older Battlefield games within their matchmaking and game/map rotations.
Some rumors have gone as far as saying that the new Battlefield game is not even a standalone game and is more of a service that will focus on bringing all past and future battlefields together. Although most rumors seem to indicate that it will be a full game that also provides features that include other Battlefield games. Not much is known about the campaign or the game setting itself however many have stated that it appears the title will be set in the near future and offer some futuristic weapons and tech for players to use.
We must emphasize that these are currently all rumors and mostly unsupported leaks. So, some or even all the information may be incorrect or even change before the game is released. On a good note, it does appear that a reveal trailer is well into production (if not completed already) and we may be getting an official announcement as early as May to highlight some of the details of the game.

Modern Warzone has published a leak from some fairly creditable sources that Sledgehammer Games has been confirmed as the publisher for Call of Duty WWII: Vanguard. It is safe to assume that “WWII Vanguard” is the project’s name and is very likely to change long before public statements are made about the game itself. However, it does bring all the rumors of a WW2 based game to light as it would be hard to believe the game is not based in that timeline due to the project name.
There are still rumors that at least part of the game will take place in the 50s, although this seems to be hard to follow as WW2 ended in 1945 and extending this time would bring the game into the Cold War, which we are still playing a Cold War based game. Of course, there have been pushes to make all of the Call of Duty games a “Call of Duty Universe” of sorts with the publishers backing up fan-based theories on how games affected the timelines of others.
Sadly, we still lack nearly all of the details of the game itself and can only go off what have otherwise been wildly inaccurate rumors about the gameplay. We do know that Sledgehammer Games was the last CoD developer to create a WW2 based game, so they do have experience in this timeframe. We also know that Sledgehammer Games is very likely trying to go all out to redeem themselves after essentially being booted off the Black Ops Cold War project, along with Activision knowing that Black Ops Cold War did not really impress any of the players and is often considered subpar when compared to the older CoD Modern Ware from 2019. So here is to hoping an absolutely excellent CoD game as the series returns to its WWII roots.

Fans to one of the most classic FPS games of all time, Halo 3, are in for an exciting announcement as 343 Industries is planning to add at least two more maps into the now 14-year-old game. Of course, the Master Chief Collection landing on PC has refreshed the series and brought Halo 3 back into the gaming spotlight as of late, but this is still huge news from a developer that seemed completely focused on releasing the new Halo Infinite.
The new maps are Waterfall and Edge which were leaked by beta testers and seemed to be Maps that were going to be utilized in the never released project of Halo Online. Halo Online was supposedly going to be a free to play multiplayer only shooter based on the Halo 3 game engine but was scrapped after only a few months of only being available in Russia. We do not have many details of Halo Online, but it does seem to be a poorly aimed product with how already wildly successful Halo 3's online multiplayer had become.
With the new battle pass season system used in the Master Chief Collection it has been noted that these new maps will release as part of Season 6 which does not have a confirmed release date nor is it confirmed that the maps will launch at the beginning of the season. Waterfall appears slightly similar two Halo 2's industrial setting utilized in the map Lockout and edge is a full runner facility that is like the forerunner designs utilized in Halo 4.
Day 4 is here, and we had some amazing gameplay to watch today! London, Dallas, LA Thieves, and Florida have were all sent home in Day 3 and NYSL proved that they are ready to win by sending FaZe to the elimination bracket and securing their spot in the championship round.
Today marked the first day of the 2021 Call of Duty League’s Stage 3 Major with two Elimination Bracket matches and two Winners Bracket matches to kick off the event. Both Elimination matches turned out to be quite exciting as 4 teams tried to advance in the Elimination bracket with Match 2 being an absolute thriller of a match full of some crazy games!
