The first trailer for Battlefield 2042 was revealed early on in this year’s E3 before a multiplayer reveal during Xbox’s showcase. Call of Duty: Vanguard opted to skip the event and was instead revealed through a special game mode in Call of Duty: Warzone and the release of the game’s first trailer. Both games have gotten more details released about them since their first trailers but comparing the two games’ first trailers provides a solid look at how the approaches of the two titles differ from one another....

What many longtime fans have been curious about, however, is the inclusion of a campaign. Prior to the reveal, new rumors indicated that this latest Battlefield could be launching without a single player campaign, something that has been a standard of the franchise since it was introduced with Battlefield: Bad Company. As it stands, DICE has confirmed that Battlefield 2042 won’t be launching with a campaign of any kind....

The one significant difference this time around however, is that Battlefield 3 speaks for itself. This game, developed by DICE and aimed at the PC market, has a real chance at becoming the best shooter of 2011. And that’s no small feat considering the sheer amount of Triple-A FPS titles coming out this year. EA showed off Battlefield 3 at an offsite GDC event last night, offering a glimpse at the single player campaign and everyone who witnessed it came away impressed and happy with how the game is shaping up....

[The following article represents the sole views of Rob Keyes.] Developer DICE and publisher Electronic Arts almost blew it. They may already have. With the Call of Duty franchise - reigning king of first-person shooter genre - seemingly peaked, scoring slightly weaker reviews, slightly lower sales figures and certainly a lot less buzz in each successive annual installment, the timing was perfect to grab more of that market share with Battlefield....

The Germany international was rumoured to be a transfer target for Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund, but has demonstrated his commitment to Cologne despite their precarious position in the table. Having joined the club in 2010, Hector has renewed for a further two years, meaning he is set to stay put until the end of the 2022-23 season. “Cologne allowed me to take the path from the regional league to the German national team,” Hector told the club’s official website....

Alaba suffered an ankle knock in Austria’s World Cup qualifying clash with Georgia and had to be withdrawn prior to half-time on Tuesday. Bayern 13/2 to win CL The length of the lay-off has not yet been determined, but it leaves head coach Carlo Ancelotti without either of his natural left-back options as Juan Bernat continues his recovery from ankle surgery. However, there is some good news for the Italian with midfielder Sebastian Rudy cleared of injury....

Between them, Bayern and Lyon boast 15 players on this year’s list. The German giant headlines the men’s list with seven players, while eight members of Lyon’s unstoppable women’s squad have been named to Goal’s annual ranking. On the men’s side, Robert Lewandowski claimed the top spot after a stellar campaign in which Bayern’s Polish striker scored 55 goals in 47 games across all competitions as the Bavarians stormed their way to a treble (Bundesliga, DFB-Pokal and Champions League)....

Bayern win shows why Arsenal not good enough for Lewandowski The Gunners came from behind at the Allianz Arena to go into the break level at 1-1 in the first leg of the round-of-16 tie, but ended the match on the wrong end of a humiliating 5-1 defeat, their second in successive seasons at the home of the Bundesliga title-holders. Robben, who opened the scoring with a trademark goal in the 11th minute, felt Arsenal’s expansive style played straight into Bayern’s hands....

Baylor fell just outside of that group in the national consciousness. The Bears received zero votes in the preseason Associated Press poll — a surprise given that the program had found itself ranked at some point during each of the previous nine seasons. Still, the Bears had lost starting point guard Lester Medford, rebound-hoarder Rico Gathers and, most importantly, star small forward and No. 12 overall NBA Draft pick Taurean Prince....

On Tuesday, the Bears announced they’ve hired Temple’s Matt Rhule to be their next head coach. MORE: Tracking the 2016 coaching carousel Rhule spent the last four seasons as Temple’s head coach, compiling a 28-23 overall record that included the two best seasons in program history: 10-4 in 2015 and 10-3 in 2016, which included an American Athletic Conference title. Rhule inherited a 2-10 team in 2013 and took just two years to turn the Owls into an AAC contender....

The game, however, much like its predecessor, will be an exclusive for Nintendo’s Switch console, which has left some fans riled. With some vocal requests to see the game ported to other consoles, one of the directors of the game, Hideki Kamiya, stepped in and commented on this. RELATED: Bayonetta 3 Fans Theorize Alternate Timelines Are Involved Hideki Kamiya, for many fans, is the face of PlatinumGames, being one of the gaming industry’s most prolific developers, and the mind behind some influential games....

With there only being a few months until Bayonetta 3 is released, then, more details have been emerging about the game, especially in regard to its story and where the iconic witch will go next. Already, there has been plenty of speculation on Bayonetta 3’s narrative, including one theory that states Cereza could be set for a return given the new hairstyle Bayonetta is seen wearing. Now, some story details have been confirmed for Bayonetta 3 via its rating from the Australian Classification Board....

The BCCI on Sunday recommended dashing batsman Rohit Sharma for this year’s Arjuna award. “The (Board of Control for Cricket in India) working committee recommended Rohit Sharma for the Arjuna award for the year 2015,” its secretary Anurag Thakur said in a release. The Mumbai boy, who rewrote the world record of the highest individual ODI score in an innings last year by blazing 264 against Sri Lanka at the Eden Gardens, has struck seven One Day International hundreds so far....

Don't think it can't happen. Don't think Nos. 1 and 2 can't lose on the last week of the season. Remember, people, a four-win Pitt team beat No. 2 West Virginia in 2007 — while No. 1 Missouri lost to Oklahoma. The one thing that absolutely won't happen: a one-loss SEC team jumping Ohio State. "It's so unpredictable," Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy said. "All you can do it play and see what happens....

Well, if MLB is asking fans to start voting on players for this season’s mid-summer classic, it’s not too early to start evaluating last season’s All-Stars. Who has upped his game? Who’s likely to return to the All-Star Game this year? Whose performance has really dropped off? Caution: small sample size analysis ahead. American League Manny Machado wasn’t the starting third baseman for the AL last year; Josh Donaldson was....

Local news outlet WBTW News13 said it obtained a call for service from the Horry County Police Department that confirmed police had responded to reports of the sea turtle harassment involving people riding a turtle. The incident happened on Monday, July 12, at around 10:51 p.m. after a green sea turtle came ashore at Garden City Pier, Horry County, to nest. In a Facebook post, the South Carolina United Turtle Enthusiasts (SCUTE) group said the turtle was “harassed, photographed and ridden” after being approached by people....

Gamers may be aware of Beamdog for its work on remastering classic games like Baldur’s Gate and Neverwinter Nights. Fans of the studio are now being introduced to its first new IP, MythForce, a first-person game that looks incredibly stylized in its new gameplay trailer. MythForce is a fantasy roguelite mostly inspired by 80s classic Saturday morning cartoons. However, from its fantasy roots, some may notice clear inspiration from classic fantasy RPGs such as Dungeons & Dragons....

The incident took place overnight Monday in Stuart at the Martin County Sheriff’s Office. The furry intruder trespassed on the sheriff’s office’s grounds before it clambered up a tree. The sheriff’s office said in a statement released shortly before 4:30 a.m. Tuesday: “The Martin County Sheriff’s Office had an unexpected guest show up at our office tonight.” They added: “The bear made its way through the parking area and camped out for a bit in a tree near our investigations division....

According to Fox 11, Laurel-Rose Von Hoffman-Curzi, 66, from Orinda, suffered a deep laceration to her face which required stitches as well as other puncture wounds, cuts and bruises after being mauled by a bear at her holiday home in North Lake Tahoe last weekend. Von Hoffmann-Curzi said she had traveled to the property to isolate while she continues to fight stage 4 lymphoma. She was alerted to the presence of someone inside the property after being woken up by loud noises coming from the kitchen at approximately 6 a....

Despite Bear Simulator’s rather silly premise (it also hoped to combat the “tyranny” of the “fat cats in Washington” that “don’t want us playing as bears”) it was a huge success. But having raised just over $100,000 from almost 4,00 backers and having been officially released on Steam last month, Farjay now says that he is walking away from the game as he doesn’t want to deal with the “drama” anymore....
