Full details on Modern Warfare II and Warzone 2.0 Season 03 Reloaded, out May 10
Did Modern Warfare 2/Warzone 2 suffer a higher player loss than Vanguard and Warzone?
Activision may have had a good quarter overall, but it looks like the numbers for its monthly active users are slipping. The company published its Q1 2023 financial results this week, boasting about a 35% rise in revenue compared to the same period last year.
In the release, Activision said net bookings rose across its five major franchises, including Call of Duty. In fact, revenue for Activision games grew 28% year-over-year during the quarter.
Call of Duty, in particular, was a major contributor to this growth. Indeed, Activision noted that sales for Modern Warfare 2 in the first quarter were “significantly higher” than the same period last year, which followed the launch of Vanguard.
Crash Team Rumble Puts A Modern Spin On The Mascot Platformer, And It Just Might Work
Crash Bandicoot was born as a colorful platforming mascot emblematic of his era, and he’s since been reinvented to suit other genres and moments in video game history. He and his wumpa fruit-chasing cohorts have been given the Mario Party treatment in Crash Bash, they went kart racing on several occasions, and he’s even been dropped into an auto-runner on mobile platforms. The latest appearance for the perma-grinning orange marsupial is yet again fitting of its moment, even as it might be the most unexpected fit to date.
Crash Team Rumble is a 4v4 multiplayer game with a unique ruleset and, it seems after a weekend with the beta, a lot of potential. Rather than reskin something familiar in Crash’s color palette, Crash Team Rumble finds its own competitive angle and match flow, and its depth of strategy gives it vigor, even as I worry about its life expectancy.
Players will load into matches cast as familiar characters split into one of several classes, like scorers, defenders, and more. Similar to something like Overwatch, the full game will offer multiple characters in each class, with heroes and villains spanning all of Crash’s history on the roster. In the beta, only a small subset of the game’s full list of heroes and villains–and their customizable abilities–was available, but it gave me an idea of what to expect.

New Warzone 2 And Modern Warfare 2 Skins Prompt Complaints About Similarities To Past CoD Games
Season 3 of Call of Duty is in full swing for Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2, and in addition to new maps, modes, and weapons, the new season also brings more shop bundles. However, players were quick to notice that some of Season 3’s new bundles appear to be based on versions of older cosmetics from Warzone 1.
This new season of Call of Duty includes a killer Easter bunny bundle, a Ghost operator pack, the Dr. Kushlov Tracer Pack, and more. Unfortunately, players are already pointing out that some items in these packs are so similar to cosmetics cosmetics from past games.
As Call of Duty content creator PrestigeIsKey has pointed out on Twitter in a side-by-side comparison, the new Dr. Kushlov skin for the Gromsko operator is just a slightly modified stoner version of the Dr. Karlov operator skin from Modern Warfare 2019 and Warzone 1. Even the operator’s Vaporizer weapon blueprint for the Kastov-762 assault rifle is nearly identical to the rifle blueprint originally featured with Dr. Karlov.
