At E3 2016, Microsoft announced three big initiatives for Xbox Live: Clubs, LFG, and Arena. The first two were added to the Xbox Preview program in early September, which means it's Arena's turn to shine. The feature was added to Xbox Preview today, and it lets Xbox One owners participate in official tournaments without ever having to leave the house. The plan is for Arena to eventually support multiple competitive games, but since it's currently part of the Preview program (see: in beta), it's only focusing on Killer Instinct for now. Practice tournaments will be held throughout October - all you have to do to participate is head to the Killer Instinct game hub and register via the Tournament tab. Done. No really, that's it. You don't need to scour this paragraph looking for more instructions. It's designed to be quick and simple.

Treyarch has released a new update for Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, and almost all of it addresses issues players have encountered since Outbreak launched with Season 2. The ambitious new mode is a large-scale spin on Zombies, complete with its own story, so it's hardly surprising that some rough edges needed to be fixed. Outbreak received a general stability improvement as part of the update, particularly regarding objectives and both the Krasny Soldat and the Dragon Relic. You also shouldn't see Mimics teleport away after they're spawned from loot chests, nor should the HVT Megaton split when it's hit by a vehicle. A few other fixes were also included in the update, such as UI and tooltips not showing up correctly, and a player's Operator model disappearing. It's not the largest update we've seen in Call of Duty, but we got one of those just a few days ago . In fact, the file sizes for both Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War and Warzone have gotten so large that players … [Read more...] about Call Of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Patch Notes — Outbreak Bugs Squashed
