The Last Stand perk hasn't been seen in a Call of Duty game since 2017's Call of Duty: WWII, but it's coming back--in a way at least--for Black Ops 6 (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/call-of-duty-2024-release-date-trailer-news/1100-6523361/).Activision has announced all the field upgrades for Black Ops 6 at launch, and among them is the Morphine Injector. Unlocked at level 44, this field upgrade allows players, for a short period of time, to enter a "Last Stand state." During this time, players hit with fatal damage can be revived by teammates or by getting a kill to self-revive.Field upgrades in Call of Duty (https://callofduty.fandom.com/wiki/Field_Upgrade) are special types of equipment that players earn throughout matches by filling a meter based on their performance that can be deployed for offensive or defensive purposes.Continue Reading at GameSpot (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/black-ops-6-brings-back-last-stand-but-not-how-youd-expect/1100-6527267/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f/)

Space Marine 2 Didn't Need To Sell 4 Million Units To Be A Success, But It Did Anyway

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 publisher Focus Entertainment has revealed (https://x.com/Focus_entmt/status/1846581980080615606) that 4.5 million units of the Saber Interactive-developed game have been sold since it launched last month. An impressive sales figure on its own, this ties into recent comments made by Saber's chief creative officer Tim Willits regarding how many units the game needed to sell to be successful."We don't need to sell 4 million units to make it [Space Marine 2] a success," Willits said earlier this month (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/space-marine-2-dev-says-game-can-succeed-without-selling-absurd-number-of-units/1100-6526907/). "There are many games, sadly, especially out of North American developers, where if you do not sell 5 million copies you are a failure. I mean, what business are we in where you fail if you sell less than 5 million?"Space Marine 2 earned positive reviews when it first launched and more than 2 million players answered the Astartes call on Steam alone. In comparison, other games with big IPs and even bigger development budgets like Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/suicide-squad-kill-the-justice-leagues-disappointing-release-led-to-a-200-million-shortfall-for-warner-bros/1100-6523301/) and Star Wars Outlaws (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/star-wars-outlaws-sales-were-worse-than-expected-ubisoft-admits-full-mobilized-to-fix-it/1100-6526702/) have had disappointing launches, according to their respective publishers.Continue Reading at GameSpot (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/space-marine-2-didnt-need-to-sell-4-million-units-to-be-a-success-but-it-did-anyway/1100-6527262/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f/)
