Black Ops III Beta Feedback Changed The Game

While most people just checked out the beta to get a taste of what Treyarch plans to deliver, many players actually voiced some concerns about the games balance. As a result The Black Hat has had its hack time increased and now pings your location on the mini map while hacking. The specialist Rejack who can revive himself will now provide kill count to the person who downed so that it counts to kill streaks. He will also have his kill streaks reset upon reviving himself.

Halloween Rocket League DLC

The time of year is upon us when things start to get spooky in a festive sort of way.

There will be Calavera antenna, Candy Corn rocket trail, Carriage wheels, Fuzzy Brute antenna, Fuzzy Vampire Antenna and a Pumpkin hat. Anything you don’t collect this year will be locked away until next Halloween. There will also be more DLC later this month called Revenge of the BattleCars and will feature two cars and more customization options.
