Battlefield V Changes Coming After Open Beta Detailed by DICE

DICE has pinpointed a lot of specific areas following the Battlefield V open beta that will be changed before the full game arrives on November 20.

Announced through a blog post on EA’s website, changes will be made to Battlefield V’s attrition system, player visibility, bleed out times and more.

The attrition system, which is designed to limit health and ammo to optimize the game’s tempo, is getting some changes to make sure it doesn’t simply force players to spawn, sprint and die over and over again.

Why Arrow’s Black Siren Deserves a Real Shot at Redemption in Season 7

The death of Laurel Lance in Arrow Season 4 was a tragic event that sent shockwaves through the series, which can still be felt today. The loss of such a fan-favorite character, along with all her connected legacy from the Green Arrow comics, was an exceptionally dark moment for the CW superhero drama already known for its grim tone.  But the introduction of Laurel’s Earth-2 doppelganger, known as Black Siren, gave Arrow a chance to create an entirely new version of the character, with a completely different story.

This Laurel had a harder edge, a more villainous attitude, and less of the complicated emotional baggage the Earth-1 version often struggled with. In many ways, Black Siren felt like a fresh start for a character the show often had no idea what to do with in the past. This iteration even came complete with an obvious initial narrative arc – redemption for her previous sins.

There have been four big screen, live-action incarnations of the Joker in the last three decades, and each first look has provoked a different response -- and each seemingly more divisive among fandom than the last. The first shot of Cameron Monaghan finally in full Joker persona is only the latest example of that, and will almost certainly not be the last.
