Borderlands 2 Exploit

If you're playing Borderlands 2 with people you don't know on Xbox Live, you may want to be careful. Hackers have found a way into Borderlands 2 code and have come across a 'hardcore mode' left in the code within the game. If you die with hardcore mode activated, your character data would be completely wiped from the game. Hardcore mode creates extra tension by making gameplay much more risky, forcing players to think twice about their actions in-game. However, the exploit in code has opened up possibilities for other players without the hardcore mode to lose their progress when playing with others who have the code activated.

Black Ops 2 Leaks

It seems none of the big shooters this year can escape the horde of leaked gameplay and pre-release day copies getting into the hands of a few sneaky players, and following from the huge surge of leaked gameplay of Halo 4 after thousands of players with JTAG'ed Xboxes got their hands on a digital copy of the game, players have now uploaded tons of footage of Black Ops 2 for the whole world to see.

Although no one is quite sure how widespread the pre-release day copies have reached, a few websites have stated that most leaked content has come from Slovakia. Players have uploaded images and gameplay of the menus and features in-game.

Rumor Mill: Modern Warfare 4

There's been a Call of Duty game practically every year thanks to Treyarch and Infinity Ward, and because of the franchise's huge success, it's likely that there will continue to be a new Call of Duty release every year for quite a few years to come. It seems strange to be talking about Infinity Ward's next Call of Duty when Treyarch's Black Ops 2 isn't even on sale yet, but if there is to be a COD game next year, now would seem a likely time for Treyarch to start calling out to more talent for the development of the game, such as voice actors or sound testers.

According to Bill Murray, a voice actor for the hugely

Warfighter: Manhunt Map Pack

If you pre-ordered the limited edition of MOH: Warfighter, then you will already have access to the new Manhunt map pack, but if you purchased the standard edition, the new map pack will cost $9.99.

Manhunt, or the Thirty Dark Days DLC, lets players experience the tension soldiers had in the hunt for Bin Laden, focusing on two maps where Bin Laden had previously visited. Darra Gun Market and Chitral Compound are the two new maps located in Pakistan, and will feature dusty back alleys and worn-down buildings. Although you won't actually find Bin Laden, the new maps give the players the image of a pursuit through the two areas as the

Halo 4 Info

One of the most frustrating things to happen in matchmaking in previous Halo games is when the rest of your team decides to quit. In a game like big team battle, it may not seem like much of a deal, but after one or two people quit, usually a lot of others will follow, and it makes it boring and extremely difficult to ever stand a chance against the enemy team, especially in smaller games.

343 are hoping to fix this by allowing players to join other games in progress. This will make matchmaking times significantly shorter whilst making sure no one has an unfair advantage against the opposing team.

There have also been a few other changes

Grand Theft Auto 5 Info

After a whole year since the first announcement trailer of Grand Theft Auto 5, Rockstar had revealed that they were planning to release a brand new trailer for November 1^st, which would have most likely revealed the release date, as well as being the gate opener for GTA 5 pre-orders. However, Rockstar have announced that they will have to delay the trailer, as hurricane Sandy has cut the power out in New York, which is where the office that was working on the trailer is based.

Pre-orders were planned to be available on November 5^th, and the release day was planned for spring 2013. Although

Far Cry 3 Info

If you enjoy playing through campaigns and story modes with your friend, then news on Far Cry 3's new Co-op features may or may not be good news to you.

The Co-op gameplay will offer a complete new story which is played out 6 months before the main campaign but still on the same island, as it follows four characters exclusive to the co-op campaign.

Quite often developers end up paying less attention to co-op side missions or extra content, and that's if they include it at all, but Far Cry 3's creative director, Magnus Jensen, says the multiplayer co-op offers the same kind of intensity of the full game.

"The co-op is a full, custom-made campaign,"

New Black Ops 2 Info

So far we've been given quite a fair bit of info on the new Black Ops, but there are still features that have been left in the shadows. However, a few extra details have been unearthed by David Vonderhaar, the game director for Black Ops 2, with the most interesting one giving us an insight into the new games emblem editor.

David has tweeted a snippet of the new emblem editor screen (shown above) and although it doesn't reveal much, along with the previous rumors from Charlie Intel, who were lucky enough to play the game with Treyarch, we can begin to get a pretty clear picture of what the emblem editor will be like.

PS3 System Info

On October 23^rd, PlayStation 3 users were greeted with a new update to their console. If you've turned your PS3 on since that date, you've probably noticed the new (v.4.30) update, and although there’s nothing significantly different, there are a few changes and tweaks that you're likely to spot.

The biggest difference in the new system software is the new changes to how Trophies are displayed on your console. You'll now be able to find your trophies under PlayStation Network on the XMB (Xross Media Bar.) It's a little different to its previous appearance, but hopefully many of you will find the new Trophy display significantly more convenient.

New Borderlands 2 Info

On top of new DLC, a Borderlands developer has answered a few questions on twitter giving fans insight into their current goals on the 2^nd Borderlands title. We have previously heard about new character classes being added with download content packs, but thanks to the power of social media, we now have an even better idea of what's going on in the Gearbox office today.

Randy Pitchford, president of Gearbox Software, has revealed three elements of the game that both the developers and the fans are hoping to be incorporated into Borderlands 2. The first is a level cap increase, which to many would mean more
