Modern Warfare 2 beta preload is causing problems for some Call of Duty players attempting to install the Activision and Infinity Ward FPS via Battlenet and Steam, as the PC beta launches today, September 22.

     How to unlock the MP5 in Modern Warfare 2

Players have already found a way to unlock the Modern Warfare 2 MP5 in the beta, despite the gun being locked. Known in MW2 as the Lachmann Sub, the MP5 can be unlocked through the improved Modern Warfare 2 Gunsmith system, but you'll need to think outside the box a little as the unlock method is somewhat unorthodox.

By choosing a specific loadout and perk combination in the FPS game, you can earn the MP5 by levelling up an assault rifle in the same family of weapons. The popular submachine gun has returned in most modern Call of Duty games, so it's no wonder fans have already found a way to equip the weapon after just a few days. If you want to unlock the MP5 for yourself in the Modern Warfare 2 beta, here's how.

     Terraria 1.4.4 update release date and everything new in Labor of Love

It's September, which means that the long-awaited Terraria 1.4.4 update Labor of Love is finally almost upon us. Terraria developer Re-Logic has long been known for claiming its updates for one of the best crafting games are the 'final update,' and Labor of Love follows on from the previous two such final updates - Journey's End and Journey's Actual End. Labor of Love was pitched primarily as a quality of life and balance update, but that doesn't mean there aren't new items - and plenty of the changes give more than enough reason to return to one of the best sandbox games on PC one more time.

We've compiled all the new additions and tweaks into one handy list for your perusal down below, but we'll start off by detailing a few of the biggest changes you can expect in Terraria 1.4.4. First up, your Terraria inventory size is due to get a huge upgrade as the stack limit for most items in the game leaps from 999 to a massive 9999. A Void Bag rework causes the special sack to function as basically a second inventory that can be opened at will, and the addition of Terraria gear loadouts means you can switch between various equipment setups on the fly.

Meanwhile, fans sick of having to go through extensive preparation and maintenance to keep their Jungle from being destroyed by evil biome corruption will be overjoyed to know that the addition of Infected Mud Grass means that your Jungle biome will never be turned into dirt again, and a new Biome Sight potion will make picking out those pesky evil nodes and cleaning them up vastly more straightforward. One of the strongest Terraria endgame accessories is getting a buff too - although it's left fans a little split on its usefulness. In addition, the new Rubblemaker and Coatings look to be adding a huge amount of customisation potential for builders.

     Tower of Fantasy password list: all electronic lock codes

Looking for every Tower of Fantasy password to open the electronic locks found throughout Aida? Despite what its name suggests, Hotta Studio's free-to-play game is set in a technological sci-fi world where you'll be hard pressed to find a conventional lock to pick. Instead, locks are sealed using a four-digit password. Electronic locks are attached to a range of different structures, from guarded barriers to abandoned trucks, but bear in mind these are different to Tower of Fantasy codes, which let you unlock free items.

Entering the correct Tower of Fantasy password into an electronic lock guarantees a variety of rewards. Deconstruction devices specifically award you with a gold nucleus which you can use to wish on weapons banners, while supply pods offer an abundance of experience and upgrade materials that make Tower of Fantasy leveling a breeze. Breaking one particular electronic lock can even bring you one step closer to expanding your roster of Tower of Fantasy vehicles. Read on to find out exactly where each electronic lock is located and which Tower of Fantasy password they require.

     Floodland is a city building game after climate change ends the world

On its Steam page, upcoming city-building game Floodland bills itself as "a society survival game set in a world destroyed by climate change." The developer is Vile Monarch, a new studio co-founded by Kacper Kwiatkowski and Grzegorz Mazur, who also co-created This War of Mine at 11 Bit Studios. When I strolled into my hands-on appointment at Gamescom 2022, however, I only knew to expect a then-unannounced city builder that would deal in some way with climate change - and I confess I was hoping for something a bit different.

I hope Dark Souls 3 rested at a bonfire recently, because its servers are down once again. FromSoftware confirmed that PvP multiplayer for the Steam version of the game had gone offline in a tweet, and said they'd provide an update once details were available to share. When I published this post, no explanation was forthcoming about what the cause of the downtime might be.

Have you ever played a game and thought, "Are we actually the bad guys here?" Usually, the whole "we're fighting on the wrong side of history" line is a deliberate plot device in RPGs, offering moments of clarity to not only peel back the curtain and provide fresh impetus for the events yet to come, but also to cleverly reframe everything you've achieved so far. I don't say this to spoil the events of The DioField Chronicle, the new real-time strategy game from Lancarse and Square Enix, but it is a question I found myself asking a lot during its middle act - and it never quite delivers the punchline you're looking for.

Around 8-10 hours into the game, there's an extended portion of the campaign that sees your band of Blue Fox mercenaries bringing an entire region of DioField Island to heel because they're, err, pro democracy. Of the cast's central quartet, only one stands up as a voice of reason when motions are made to quell these despicable riots, but he's repeatedly shot down every time he tries to offer an alternate view. Eventually, one character says to him, and I quote, "Isca, what has got into you? You ought to know the danger posed by the ideology of democracy." It's an odd stance for someone clearly not a villain to take in 2022, although really, I should have probably seen it coming. Our mercs work for a duke after all, and most are aristocratic nobles who are handy with a sword. Oh no. I think this might actually be played: Tories - The Game. Yuck.
