Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Devs Address White Phosphorus Controversy
The developer behind Call of Duty: Modern Warfare has addressed criticism over its decision to use the controversial real-world weapon white phosphorus in multiplayer mode.
Multiplayer design director Geoff Smith told VG247 that Infinity Ward views multiplayer as a playground and separate to the darker themes of single-player campaign. As such, it doesn't make comment on any real-world aspects of war.
“Our game is more about two sides, that there is no good guy or bad guy, you play on either one.

The Outer Worlds Is (Almost) Exactly the RPG I Had Hoped It Was
When it was announced at last year’s Game Awards, I was almost instantly head-over-heels for The Outer Worlds. I was glad to see one of the best teams in the choice-driven RPG business stepping back onto the field, and even more excited when I got invited to try it for myself a few weeks back.
Picking up a controller and stepping into The Outer Worlds felt like putting on a jacket that I used to love but thought I had lost. One that still fits almost as well as it used to, and still looks pretty damn good despite the aging threads holding it together.
