In a US first, the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement has given Esports Entertainment Group the thumbs up to launch esports betting in the state.
It appears there are new operators coming to Call of Duty: Warzone and Vanguard in Season 2, and they have apparently leaked ahead of time. The new operators are reportedly named Anna, Gustavo, and Thomas, according to social media leaks (via VGC).
You can see grainy images of the purported new DLC characters below. As usual, it's likely the new characters can be purchased with the new battle pass for Season 2. If history is any indication, players can expect new maps, weapons, and items, among other fresh updates for Season 2.
Season 2 was originally expected to launch on February 2, but Activision delayed it to February 14. Activision said it's spending the additional development time to release more updates and optimizations to Vanguard, Warzone Pacific, Black Ops Cold War, and Modern Warfare 2019 to get those games into better shape.
"We feel your frustrations and hear you loud and clear," Activision said. "To date, we've deployed a number of updates, but more needs to be done. Upcoming implementations will address several concerns raised by the community and other quality-of-life improvements. Adjusting the core gameplay loop, mechanics, and balance is a continuing and important focus. Fixes will apply to your platform of choice--two generations of consoles and PC--as well as gameplay in general across all five systems."
Members of the Raven Software QA team, alongside other Activision Blizzard workers, have called off their strike action after officially voting to unionize.
