It's been 10 years since COD4, the last good COD PC esport, but COD: WWII could change that

Games like Call of Duty made grenades a more interesting resource that was available in abundance. A small ball of explosives and shrapnel was never far away, to the point where attempting to throw a grenade as revenge in the final milliseconds before death caught up to you became second nature. Grenades are pretty much an afterthought in the genre, albeit an expected feature. Call of Duty WW2 wants to change those expectations, especially in the audio department.

Couldn’t get into the Call of Duty: WW2 beta, no matter how hard you tried? There’s a fix for that. All you have to do is hit up the Hong Kong PlayStation store where the glorified demo is available for free.

From a rocky start with AMAZING horse armour in the Elder Scrolls through to more substantial content such as the ground-breaking expansions of The Witcher III, video game downloadable content is a lot healthier for the long-term prospects of a video game than ever before.

Thought that July was a dry month for gaming? Well hold onto your butt then, because August is going to be a killer. From the simple joy of Jousting in Nidhogg 2 through to the mind-bending paranoia of Hellblade, here's what you can expect to play next month.

Call of Duty is back in the trenches this year with a return to World War 2. While there will be plenty of Nazis to kill, you’ll have to double up on putting a hit on Hitler’s best boys. Here’s the first official trailer for Nazi Zombies, in case you ignored that other video that leaked out earlier this year.

Destiny 2 was influenced by Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and its outstanding Mile High Club mission, says Bungie designer Rob Engeln in the latest podcast from the developer. “The big inspiration for me was actually watching a bunch of videos of people speedrunning Mile High Club from Modern Warfare on Veteran difficulty."

Is it time to panic yet? Maybe, probably, I don't know.
