The Wait For Windjammers 2 Just Got A Little Longer

It seems like a crazy dream that Windjammers 2 even exists. The original cult hit from the ’90s became more popular in recent years, leading to renewed interest in a sequel, and Dotemu is finally making that happen. However, those of you who have been waiting decades for the game will have to wait a little bit longer than predicted.

In an update post on Twitter, Dotemu–which is developing and publishing the game–said that it received plenty of positive feedback during the Steam Summer Festival last June but found that players also had several criticisms. These included the lack of a rollback netcode system in online mode, the absence of which could make things seem less fluid. In order to implement this and make the game as close to players’ expectations as possible, it’s being delayed to 2021.

“Windjammers 2 is an ambitious project that we love and that we cannot ruin with wrong decisions that could jeopardize its quality,” Dotemu added.

It’s certainly unlike anything else in gaming, with its frisbee-based intense sports action testing even the quickest reflexes. This uniqueness is likely why players had spent so long waiting for a sequel.

Dotemu is no stranger to reviving long-dormant franchises. The French company also co-developed Streets of Rage 4, a largely successful return to the acclaimed beat-’em-up series. In GameSpot’s Streets of Rage 4 review, critic Heidi Kemps said it was an “admirable comeback” for the series and praised its new art style.

Call Of Duty’s Most Broken Guns PART 2

We’ve returned with more of Call of Duty’s most broken guns! In our previous list, Richie Bracamonte went over many of broken guns featured throughout the series’ long history. Some were silly and barely functional, and remembered for how poorly they performed. This time, Richie returns with only the most overpowered broken weapons picked by our viewers. These guns are infamous for their destructive power are most were subject to a much-needed patch in order to rebalance the multiplayer experience.

Even though patching and/or “Nerfing” a weapon is commonplace today, a handful of these guns are still fan-favorites for their competitive edge, and some would say that they’re still broken. Shotguns such as Black Ops III’s 205 Brecci, Modern Warfare’s 725, and of course Modern Warfare 2’s iconic 1887s (featured in Part 1) all had above-average ranges. In the submachine class, contenders like World at War’s MP40 and MW3’s MP7 hit hard and fast. They also featured quick times to kill and high fire rates. In some cases, guns like the MP5 are broken in nearly every game they’re featured it.

In our review of Cold War, Kallie Plagge explains how “The Cold War setting allows for a lot of variety from one map to the next, which helps the limited slate feel richer; a highlight in terms of aesthetic are Miami’s neon-soaked streets. Each core 6v6 map balances close-quarters spaces with long-range sightlines, and in my experience, they mostly translate well from one mode to the next.”
