Battlefield 3, 4, and Hardline to Be Delisted on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3

Battlefield 3, 4, and Hardline to Be Delisted on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3

On July 31, 2024, EA announced that they are set to remove Battlefield 3, Battlefield 4, and Battlefield: Hardline from the digital marketplaces for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

Battlefield has been one of the most iconic FPS video game franchises that has ever existed. Despite lacking a proper esports scene like COD, BF’s campaigns and multiplayer fell among the best in the business. BF 3,4 and Hardline were highly ranked as the fan favourites and their getting delisted marks the end of an era.

With the launch of the next generation of consoles, it can be argued whether anyone still uses PS3 or Xbox 360 so having said games removed would barely make a difference especially when their game servers remain active and owners of the physical copy still enjoy the game.

Starting July 31st, any content surrounding the game will be removed from the stores of Xbox360 and PS3. This only affects the ability to purchase the game for the first time with said consoles. However, if you are too eager, you are always buy to pick up a physical copy assuming you can find one.

While this doesn’t bring any significant change for gamers now with the latest generation of consoles in play, we can see the world of video games move forward.

Counter-Strike 2 Rank Distribution 2024

Counter-Strike 2 is an extremely competitive game, and players of the shooter should be no stranger to the amount of hard work it takes to reach the top of the ranking spectrum in CS2.

Since the introduction of Premier Matchmaking with the release of CS2, fans have been busy grinding through competitive games in hopes of improving their Matchmaking Rating (MMR).

For the uninitiated, MMR is the representation of your skill in the Premier game mode of CS2. The higher your MMR, the higher up you will be in the game’s seasonal leaderboards. As you can probably already guess, MMR can be obtained by winning Premier matches, while losing will cause it to decrease.

Curious to find out how you fare against other CS2 players? In this article, we find out the rank distribution of CS2 and determine your standing in the competitive ladder of the game.

Counter-Strike 2 Rank Distribution 2024

Below, we’ve included the detailed statistics of the rank distribution of the Premier game mode in CS2, as per data from Leetify.

Counter-Strike 2 Rank Distribution 2024

As you can see from the aforementioned chart, the 9K bracket holds the highest number of CS2 players, with approximately 8.7% of the game’s player base residing within it.

On the other hand, only 0.1% of the total CS2 player base can reach the 23K+ bracket, making it (unsurprisingly) the least populated bracket in the Premier mode.

Overall, it’s safe to say that the majority of CS2 players are located within the 8K-14K MMR bracket. If you’re able to cross the 14K mark, then you’re likely a skilled player.

Regaltos Announces Comeback in BGMI Esports, Set to Compete in BGMS and BMPS

In a recent livestream, renowned Battleground Mobile India player Parv “Regaltos” Singh has announced his much-anticipated return to the competitive BGMI esports scene. He is all set to participate in the upcoming BGMI Masters Series (BGMS) Season 3 and BGMI Pro Series (BMPS) 2024. 

Regaltos’ BGMI Esports Journey

Regaltos is often regarded as one of the (OGs) pro players in the BGMI esports scene, who has had a storied career. He has played for renowned teams such as Team SouL and 8bit. Despite not having any official trophies to his name, Regaltos is widely regarded as one of India’s finest assaulters. His incredible assaulting skills and clutch performances against top-tier teams have earned him a revered spot in the hearts of players and fans alike. 

During his tenure with Team SouL, Regaltos was instrumental in securing a 2nd place finish in the PUBG Mobile Club Open – Fall Split: South Asia. While this remains his most notable achievement, his contributions to the team and the esports community extend far beyond official accolades. His clutch clips, showcasing his exceptional gameplay, continue to inspire and awe both new and veteran players.

Despite his undeniable talent, Regaltos’ career has faced several hurdles. One significant challenge has been his inability to find a stable team that matches his skill level and synergy. BGMI is a team baked game, and it requires not just individual performance but also a coordinated teamwork. The lack of a consistent, high-performing team has often hindered Regaltos’ success in major titles.

Another factor that may have impacted his career trajectory is his focus on content creation. Balancing competitive gaming with content creation can be a challenging task, and Regaltos’ decision to prioritize one over the other at different times could have influenced his overall success in the esports scene.

Regaltos’ return to competitive BGMI esports in the BGMS Season 3 and BMPS 2024 marks a new chapter in his career. Given his performance history, fans are excited and optimistic about his potential to make a significant impact. His experience and his renowned assaulting skills positions him as a formidable contender in these upcoming tournaments.

Indian Gaming Community Under Scrutiny: Journalist Exposes Troubling Behavior

In the wake of the recent controversy involving Carnival Gaming’s Suraj “Neyoo” Majumdar, independent journalist Deepika Bhardwaj has brought further disturbing instances in the gaming community to light. Through a series of posts on her X handle, Bhardwaj shared additional clips highlighting inappropriate and alarming behavior from notable figures in the Indian esports scene.

Deepika Bhardwaj Exposes Troubling Behavior in the Indian Gaming Community

The first clip featured Ankita C, who is now a content creator for S8UL Esports but was not affiliated with the organization at the time of the incident in 2018. The footage shows Ankita using a barrage of cuss words in a fit of anger, reflecting poorly on her conduct and raising questions about the behavior of content creators in the community.

The second clip, dating back to 2021, involves Manoj “Sentinel” Kashyap, the owner of Team Mahi. In the clip, Sentinel made shocking and deeply upsetting comments during a live stream. When viewers mentioned a cheating incident, Sentinel responded with a disturbing threat, stating that anyone who brought up the topic would be physically abused worse than ‘Nirbhaya,’ a victim of a heinous gang rape and murder in 2012. This statement, understandably, drew widespread condemnation and highlighted the severity of inappropriate conduct.

Following these revelations, Bhardwaj posted a comment: “Razia gundo mein phas gayi types feeling aa rahi hai. These gaming competitors sharing videos of each other with me to pull the other one down. All of them have gamers using extreme language. No one clean. I’m told that’s how the gaming community is. Appalled some abuser even met Mr. Modi.”

Bhardwaj’s expose has sparked significant debate and introspection within the esports and gaming industry. Her statement has brought forth the troubling culture of toxic behavior and language that appears prevalent among some prominent figures in the community. The notion of competitors sharing incriminating videos to tarnish each other’s reputations further showcases a pervasive issue of animosity and discord.

These revelations have prompted a broader discussion about the need for higher standards of conduct and accountability in the gaming community.

Will Dragon Ball Sparkling Zero Get Cross-Platform Support?

Dragon Ball Sparkling Zero preview at the Gamescom LATAM has been a smashing success and fans can’t wait to get their hands on the game.

Scheduled to release on October 11th, Sparkling Zero will bring back the fan-favorite Budokai Tenkaichi franchise after almost 20 years. Budokai Tenkaichi remains arguably the best DB game but the latest version will not only see a generation improvement in animations and performance but a drastic change in the storyline of the anime will also be included.

The highly anticipated game will be released for Xbox, PS, and Windows as confirmed by the developers fans do not know if it will come with cross-platform support which it let gamers from different platforms play together.

Do you think there will be cross platform support?👀

Will Dragon Ball Sparkling Zero have cross-platform support?

“Sparking Zero official Japanese website, scroll down, you’ll see a small grid at the bottom, last thing there, cross-platform compatibility states incompatible for everything.” pointed out one Reddit user.

Judging by the track record for Dragon Ball games, cross-platform support has been in demand for a while but massively overlooked by almost every developer. As things stand, Dragon Ball Sparkling Zero is unlikely to feature cross-platform support unless the developers decide to throw in a last-minute surprise.

The game is set to release on October 11th, 2024, and with only a couple of months to go it is unlikely to see any change in the cross-platform support status.

Dragon Ball Sparking Zero Preview in Gamescom Was a Smashing Success

After nearly 20 years, the renowned Dragon Ball Z: Budoki Tenchaichi franchise is finally returning with its latest iteration, namely Dragon Ball Sparking Zero.

The latest DB game was showcased on Gamescom Latam where top media houses got their hands on the game and suffice it to say that not one of them had anything significantly negative to point out. Sadly, we do not have any clips to showcase how far the franchise has come in the past two decades.

Several games have come out focused around DB but nothing was able to capture the hearts of gamers like Budokai Tenkaichi did back in the day. In the past two years, the Dragon Ball story has come a long way with plenty of new characters and tectonic shifts in the power scales, and suffice it to say that the new game will house all of it.

Every character in the game is carefully crafted with their powers adjusted similar to how the anime has depicted it. This means the characters who did not go through a power-up in the later arcs of the story will likely remain far behind the likes of Goku and Vegeta whose powers are comparable to gods now.

The new game will feature all the new transformations like SSJ Blue and UI Goku. Not only does the game have characters from DB, DBZ, and DBS but non-canon storylines like GT will also be featured.

To summarize the experience, Dragon Ball Sparking Zero brings everything that fans loved about Budokai Tenkaichi and takes it up a notch. The animations have been carefully crafted to retain the essence of the anime. Characters get their own specially designed animations that uphold their unique personalities and traits to make the game as close to the anime as possible.

Dragon Ball Sparking Zero is set to release on October 11, 2024, so mark your calendars and clear your schedule to enjoy the true essence of Dragon Ball in a game after a long time.
