The eagerly anticipated Call of Duty: WWII will get a second PC Beta in just two weeks. The big difference is that this one will be open access.

On September 29th, Steam will release the Beta for free. But act quickly because the Free Beta will only last the weekend. It’s all over on October 2nd.

According to a press release by Sledgehammer Games, the open Beta will be the stress test for the “core gameplay systems and online backend infrastructure at scale.”

This will also give PC users a first-hand look at the game, and hopefully draw in an avid crowd of players who will be champing at the bit for the final release.

The Beta will be available on Steam and the minimum required specs (at this point) are:

OS: Windows 7 64-Bit or later
CPU: Intel® Core™ i3 3225 or equivalent
RAM: 8 GB RAM
HDD: 25 GB HD space
Video: NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 660 @ 2 GB / AMD Radeon™ HD 7850 @ 2GB or better
DirectX: Version 11.0 compatible video card or equivalent
Network: Broadband Internet connection
Sound Card: DirectX Compatible

Two Years Ago Today – May 26, 2015

On May 26th, 2015 we announced the loss of a great writer, Tanith Lee. The author of The Silver Metal Lover and Tales from the Flat Earth series passed away at the age of 67. She had a long writing career that began in 1971 when Macmillan published her first novel, The Dragon Hoard, and continued through over 90 novels and 300 short stories.

This was also the first time we covered MCM London Convention. Of course, we couldn’t go ourselves, so we lived vicariously through others.

May asked us What happens when Halo comes face to face with Call of Duty? You get a master piece!  Or in this case, a Master Chief. Check out the great video by RackaRacka, also known as Danny and Michael Philippou.

And Manny gave us a mind-blowing preview of  Treadwater, a new graphic novel by creator Morgan Rosenblum and actor Chad L. Coleman.

‘Call of Duty: Black Ops III’ Teaser Trailer Released

Treyarch recently released a teaser trailer for their highly anticipated game, Call of Duty: Black Ops III.  The teaser called Back in Black retraces steps of previous Call of Duty: Black Ops (COD BLOPs) characters including Alex Mason, the protagonist from the first COD BLOPs.

The first game to the series, Black Ops, was released in 2010.  The story takes place in the 60’s and gamers play through a series of flashbacks Mason has while being interrogated by an unknown identity.  The second installment of the game, Black Ops II, takes place in the 80’s and then in 2025 when Mason, the previous protagonist has retired from his agent days.  Alex Mason’s son, David Mason, then becomes a playable character in Black Ops II.

The video reveals that more details will come to us later this month as the world reveal date is set to April 26.  We get clued in hearing snippets about letters and numbers which is consistent with the first game in the series, not to mention an unidentifiable voice asking Mason what they mean.

The game is said to follow in the same footsteps of the first-person shooter franchise and the Call of Duty website promises that players will get a taste of more “cutting-edge military robotics [that] define warfare”.

And as any COD BLOPs player probably expects, the Zombie side of the game will also return.

What do you expect to see from COD BLOPs III?  Check out the video and leave your thoughts about the game below!  What do you expect to see from COD BLOPs III?
