Room for one more? Just days beforeBattlefield‘s take on battle royale enters the ring, DICE has released a gameplay trailer forFirestorm. It’s pretty much what you’d expect, and that isn’t a bad thing. There’s item scavenging, objective capturing, a plethora of vehicles, and plenty of opportunities for wanton destruction. I can already tell I’m going to want to squad up for Firestorm. Solo play seems intimidating as hell. Aside from the huge new map (the series’ largest to date), there are a bunch of other wrinkles to the traditionalBattlefield Vexperience....

This one mostly fixes low-end visuals While the coreWarcraft IIIexperience was somewhat intact,theReforgededitionof the game opened to a thud earlier this year in late January. Numerous issues were abound, most notably the unfortunate decision to morph the originalWarcraft IIIclient into the buggier and less feature-proneReforgedone.
