     MW2 raid code and how to solve the Atomgrad number puzzle

The MW2 raid code is required during the first raid, Atomgrad. The three-player cooperative experience in Modern Warfare 2 continues from where the campaign left off, but you'll need to grab some pals before hopping in, because there's no matchmaking available here. Much like raids in other games, there are puzzles involved, and the Atomgrad raid code is necessary to progress.

Once you've obtained an assignment for the first of many Modern Warfare 2 raids, you can jump into Atomgrad. Progress through the raid in one of the best FPS games this year, listening to the characters telling you which enemies to take out and when in a stealth section, before you reach a huge metal gate. This is where the Modern Warfare 2 raid code comes into play.

     The best open-world games on PC in 2022

Looking for the best open-world games on PC? From the early days of gaming, with Ultima and Lords of Midnight, open-world games have always been right at home on PC - indeed, those pesky consoles often couldn't handle it. Compare the ambitious early version of Halo to the final, more confined result, for example - and only the PC could hold sprawling regions in the very first Elder Scrolls games. Nevertheless, the leap into full 3D with Grand Theft Auto 3 and The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind really brought the idea of open-world gaming to the masses.

These days, open-world games are their own genre. You can find accurate depictions of real-life cities or countries, huge fictional expanses with their own landmarks, complete worlds to check out - or even entire galaxies, depending on where you want to go on your next adventure in one of the best open-world games on PC.

Given the genre's broader scope, the best thing about them is the variety of genres: the important feature is that they allow you to explore freely. As such, our list of top open-world games features everything from the best FPS games to racing games with massive worlds to drive through.

     Roblox Adobe integration is a major move toward an immersive metaverse

A recently- Roblox Adobe integration shows how the sandbox game seeks to attract and embrace older users by putting design at its forefront to achieve its metaverse vision. The collaboration, announced in September, allows creators to seamlessly import designs from Adobe Substance 3D Designer and Painter into Roblox Studio. It opens the door to numerous possibilities beyond what Roblox Studio currently offers.

Adobe tools are industry standard in many creative professions, and Substance 3D is one of the leading design tools for metaverse applications involving 3D objects and spaces. In addition to having the capability to make those items look authentic, Substance 3DS also enables them to 'act' real by granting them physics properties following the rules of physics engines.
