Battlefield 3 “Multiplayer Update 6” Released for Xbox 360
If you are a Battlefield 3 fan and are heading onto Xbox LIVE today, then you may want to make a start on downloading the latest 1.92GB patch for the game which has just been released.
Titled “Multiplayer Update 6,” the patch “contains improvements to the multiplayer portions of the game”, according to Xbox.com, before going on to say, “We strongly advise you download it.”
Being such a huge update it would seem that this patch more than likely prepares Battlefield 3 for the ‘End Game DLC’ which will arrive for the game later this month.

Either way, if you were planning to play today, you might have a bit of a wait while this downloads.

Samsung Releases Galaxy S4 Teaser Image and Leaked Video

Samsung has released a teaser image for the Galaxy S4 smartphone, at the same time that the phone has been ‘revealed’ in a new video posted on the internet in China.
Posting the teaser picture on Twitter, the South Korean firm said: “The countdown for #TheNextBigThing has begun. Who’s ready for the Global Unpacked Event on March 14?”
Galaxy S4 Teaser

The tweet was referring to a planned launch event in New York on Thursday (March 14), at which the Galaxy S4 is expected to be revealed.

The teaser image appears to be of a phone that bears many similarities in design language to the Galaxy S3, Samsung’s current flagship phone.

But after images supposedly of the new Android-powered S4 emerged on Chinese forum 52 Samsung yesterday, a video of the phone has now surfaced online.

[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfzom-RdrwI%5D

As with the leaked images, the video shows a handset that takes its lead form the design of the Galaxy S3, but in a slightly taller and more rectangular body.

It appears to be fitted with a 5-inch display but with a thinner bezel than a Galaxy S3. The phone is shown running Android 4.2.1, but with Samsung’s own TouchWiz user interface over the top.

The revealed S4, on the China Unicorn network, appears to have dual SIM card slots, a feature popular in Asian markets.

The design language of the phone matches up with the leak yesterday, but it remains unclear whether this is actually the S4 or another dual SIM Samsung phone.

New Halo 4 Maps Coming 8th April “The Castle Map Pack”

343 has just released the following details on the next Halo 4 map pack.

Halo 4” Castle Map Pack Reignites Team Objective Battles with New Maps and a Fresh Playlist on April 8

The third War Games Map Pack focuses on team objective and vehicular combat by introducing three new maps and the addition of a new 6 vs. 6 playlist 

343 Industries today announced the third major expansion in the Halo Infinity Multiplayer experience, the Castle Map Pack, launching Monday, April 8. Developed by Certain Affinity, in collaboration with 343 Industries, the Castle Map Pack brings players three medium-to-large, stunning maps that emphasize vehicular warfare and large battles over open spaces, where team strategy is key to successfully conquering the battlefield.

Daybreak places you amidst military facilities, against the backdrop of an idyllic mountain range, while Outcast plunges you into the natural tunnels and arches of a secluded rebel outpost. Perdition takes players into the heart of an urban battleground, where tactical speed and situational awareness are essential to achieving victory.  The Castle Map pack provides 9 new Achievements worth a total of 250 Gamerscore.

[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFdujNk3XqM%5D

New Battlegrounds: Castle Map Pack

Daybreak: Two UNSC bases oppose each other in this large asymmetrical map. Teams must split focus between attacking the enemy base while playing close defense to their own. Claim your team’s sniper rifle to cover the central Man Cannon, or grab a Warthog to push through the side channels and flank the enemy base. The Rocket Launcher and Banshee both spawn in positions diagonal to the starting bases; claiming their firepower early is crucial to land the first flag cap or take an early lead in kills.

halo4_campaign-03_thumb.jpg

Outcast: Controlling vehicle paths is critical in this circular map set in a desert environment. Outcast features frequent Mantis vs. Wraith battles, so teams must keep their drivers informed with constant communication to get the drop on enemy vehicles. While driving the Mantis, you can target fusion coils in tunnels to flush out camping opponents directly into your rain of fire, or cover your flag runner’s dash to a friendly Warthog. If you find yourself without a vehicle, race to the secondary bases to secure a power weapon or drop on enemies for a game-changing hijack.

Perdition: Blending long sightlines, vehicles, and close-quarters combat, Perdition caters to nearly any gameplay style. Wheelmen and gunners will be right at home in this urban environment as a well-placed Warthog can lock down a quarter of the map, securing valuable ordnances for the team. Learning the interior routes is essential to both escaping danger and finishing off ranged kills. Be sure to look for the Gravity Hammer in Power Station 3 – an ideal revenge weapon against a pesky sniper or a big surprise for an enemy Warthog.

The Castle Map Pack will be available on Xbox LIVE for 800 Microsoft Points. Players who purchase the “Halo 4” War Games Map Pass* or “Halo 4” Limited Edition will receive access to all three Map Packs (Crimson, Majestic, and Castle) at a 15 per cent savings versus purchasing them individually.1

New Playlist: “Castle DLC”

The Castle Map Pack brings a new playlist to the War Games experience called “Castle DLC,” a six-versus-six playlist that focuses on both team play and coordinated objective gameplay.

The new maps will also be integrated into existing Infinity Slayer, Big Team Objective, and Dominion playlists. DLC maps will appear in a playlist if all members of the match have the content purchased or the War Games Map Pass.

Another update on the SimCity problems from EA

simcity_logo

As you may know SimCity launched last week and has had a few problems with server capacity and players not having a very good experience. EA has been in touch with CDW this morning to give us another update.

This is what they told us:

I’m happy to report that the core problem with getting in and having a great SimCity experience is almost behind us. Our players have been able to connect to their cities in the game for nearly 8 million hours of gameplay time and we’ve reduced game crashes by 92% from day one.

A combination of optimizing our server architecture and response times, deploying these enhancements on both a series of new and the original servers and issuing a few critical client updates has achieved getting virtually everyone into the game and, once in, having a great time building cities and sharing regions.

I had hoped to issue an “All-Clear” tonight, but there are still some elements coming together. Tonight and tomorrow we’ll be monitoring each server and gameplay metrics to ensure that the service remains strong and game is playing great. We need a few more days of data before we can assure you that the problem is completely solved and the game is running at 100 percent.

The good news is that tens of thousands of new players are streaming into the game every day and the confidence our fans have shown is truly humbling. I can’t begin to explain the way a development team feels when something you’re proud of is threatened at launch. Our biggest fear was that people who love this franchise would be scared off by bad reviews about the connectivity issues.

But you put your faith in us. You bought the game with the understanding that we’d quickly fix the server issues. For that support – that incredible commitment from our fans — we are deeply grateful. As the general manager of Maxis, I want you to know that we cherish your faith in us, and the love you’ve shown for this franchise.

Thank you very much.
