When checked, it’d allow players to hide their rank, match history and gameplay stats from other players, though the summoner name, icon and level would remain public. However, Esports News UK understands this was not intended to go live on the PBE server just yet, and sources have said it will be removed soon.

September 28, 2021RockPaperShotgun

I adored Halo 3 and Halo Reach‘s multiplayer. So much so, I never want to play them again. In my mind, I view them through a next-gen lens, coloured by nostalgia and post-homework energy. I know that if I jump into the Halo: The Master Chief Collection, I simply won’t be able to recapture those heady times. I’m genuinely afraid of tarnishing those memories. Halo 4 didn’t do it for me, and I skipped Halo 5 altogether. They just felt off, you know? But having spent some time with Halo Infinite‘s tech preview this weekend, though, I’m hopeful that this…

Here’s what the Marvel’s Avengers beta really looks like

August 7, 2020VG247

By Matt Martin, Friday, 7 August 2020 12:00 GMT The beta for Marvel’s Avengers goes live today for players on PS4, and we’re finally able to bring you captured gameplay from our session with the beta last week. Although Alex has already shared his thoughts on the game, we wanted to be able to show you gameplay that’s really representative of the beta, rather than any the glossy edits you’ll see in trailers. This is what it looks like with four people teaming up to smash a whole load of robots. And believe us when we say, that’s all it’s…
