Likely one of the most decried and frequently debated adjustments that Respawn's made to the Apex formula is introducing skill-based matchmaking (or SBMM) to the casual, everyday "Play Apex" mode of p
Take for example the legend Gibraltar, this character is a functional "tank" style character. Equipped with a powerful shield when firing down his iron sites, Gibraltar is an extremely durable character who can cover himself and his teammates. Coupled with his powerful bubble shield, Gibraltar is the first line of defense for his teammates and a useful support character for a sq
In team games, competitive players form squads based on a variety of factors. These include things like play styles, players' individual strengths, communication and the all-around ability to tolerate one anot

Many people will celebrate Valentine’s Day with new loves or longtime partners, while others will lament the fact that they can’t get a date at all. But in my experience, finding a date for Valentine’s Day is a feat far less difficult than finding the perfect duo part

It’s hard to know what to make of another iteration of Anthem . Certainly, people won’t flock to it in droves due to name recognition or a relationship with the franchise. Without that going for it, Anthem 2.0 will have to be a groundbreaking game if it wants to attract a fanb
Revenant's crouching ability allows the assassin to maintain his normal walk speed even when crouching. This may sound like an insignificant skill but it allows for some powerful in-game application. Revenant's rapid crouch speed allows him to cover a large amount of distance silently. Crouch walking in this game prevents an enemy player from hearing your footsteps and is essential for stealth-oriented success. This makes Revenant's archetype as an assassin-style character incredibly easy to incorporate in his gamep
Destiny 2: Shadowkeep may not be the biggest expansion set in Destiny's history, but it has elevated Destiny 2 to a place players always hoped the game would get to. There is so much awesome content to pursue and such an interesting, meaningful grind. Two months later and my raid team is still getting together most nights to play crucible, run the Pit of Heresy dungeon, or raid. Even jaded vanilla Destiny 2 players have come back and found the game they always wanted. Destiny 2: Shadowkeep is the most fun I've had in any game this y

"The overlap starts to get less and less when you look at the kind of games that they are," BioWare's lead producer Mike Gamble told Business Insider's Ben Gilbert in the days leading up to Anthem 's laun
However, one only needs to look to Destiny to know those two game styles have overlapping fanbases. People play Destiny for PvE strikes and raids, but they also play PvP modes such as Crucible and Gam
This climbing ability allows Revenant the ability to attack enemy squads in unpredictable manners. He can approach an enemy team from a seemingly safe position and combined with his silent but rapid crouch speed makes a new character a silent and deadly foe. The combination of these two abilities makes Revenant a deadly combination of a silent assassin and a versatile mobility character. Making hiding from the killer a near impossibil
When your carefully-crafted duo team inevitably loses, there’s no blaming the random third player that was part of your team. The second that one player makes a risky move that gets them killed, the blame game beg
Revenant has access to one of the most powerful skills in the entire game. Silence is an extremely potent ability denying skill that can turn the tide of battle in one smart play. This makes the already deadly assassin one of the most powerful legends in the entire ros
Anthem quietly rolled on to EA Access and Origin Access in September. But even with that, it's not quite the same as Destiny 2 as players have to subscribe to these services in order to access this cont
