If you haven’t given Call Of Duty: Ghosts a try, this weekend could be a good — and cheap — time to do so… provided you’ve got a PlayStation machine.

Over at the official PlayStation blog, there’s word that a multiplayer demo for Call Of Duty: Ghosts will be available as a free download for PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 for three days, starting Friday, May 2.

While the demo doesn’t include the single-player campaign, it does offer the opportunity to try out the various multiplayer modes using three popular maps: Strikezone (set in a destroyed baseball stadium), Warhawk (an abandoned town), and Prison Break (a jungle-based map set just outside a prison). Players can compete in competitive Team Deathmatch, Domination, or Search & Rescue modes on each of the maps, which should offer a nice, well-rounded experience for anyone interested in the multiplayer element of Ghosts (and the various ways you can get killed in the game, of course).

Along with the competitive multiplayer modes and maps, the free demo will also include the original map for the game’s cooperative Extinction mode, which requires players to coordinate their defense against waves of alien invaders in a Colorado town. Once the aliens are stopped, players need to detonate a nuclear device and evacuate.

The free multiplayer demo for Call Of Duty: Ghosts will be available for download May 2 at 10:00am Pacific, and will continue to be available all weekend, ending May 5 at 10:00am Pacific.

Call of Duty made Crash Team Rumble a better multiplayer game, says dev

Key art for Crash Team Rumble

Crash Team Rumble initially feels like a unexpected diversion for the long-running Crash Bandicoot series, but it’s a lot more fun than you might expect. I went hands-on with Crash Team Rumble at Summer Game Fest Play Days, and once I got the hang of its Wumpa-collecting match objectives, I had a blast discovering winning strategies with my teammates. Still, it feels like a pretty significant shift for developer Toys for Bob, which spent the 2010s working on Skylanders, Spyro Reignited Trilogy, and Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time.

The best Tempus Razorback loadout in Warzone

With the launch of Call of Duty: Warzone Season 4 comes the new Tempus Razorback assault rifle, which is available for free as part of the battle pass. You'll want to use this weapon mainly in fast-paced midrange situations, as it can be a little harder to control when firing at long-range. Still, you can build it to function well at around 45 meters or so, making it a competitive choice on the smaller maps. This is the best Tempus Razorback build in Warzone.

Characters on Ashika Island in Warzone 2.0.

Activision has released a new Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 update that nerfs the game's best long-range weapons: the Cronen Squall and the ISO Hemlock. Specifically, the damage across both weapons has been reduced, making them both less effective in all situations.

The news comes from the battle royale game's latest round of patch notes, which outlines the new changes to the weapons. There are some major implications to those changes, though the updates aren't as devastating as they might initially seem. Here's every tweak that was implemented in the new patch.
