Why the Call of Duty World War 2 Leak Makes All the Sense
Around this time two years ago, I predicted that Treyarch’s 2015 Call of Duty game would go back to the trenches of World War II. I even labelled that prediction as “extremely likely”. Turns out I was on the wrong side of history with that one, and while I’m happy to eat humble pie, I firmly believe that Call of Duty 2017 will jump back to where the series began, in the trenches of World War II.
Naturally, it helps that recent leaks suggest that Sledgehammer Games’ 2017 series entry will be called Call of Duty: WW2. Obviously, it’s possible that these leaked images are fake – we do, after all, live in the Photoshop age – but it’s likely they’re on point. Here’s why.
Quake Champions Beta Will Have Aussie Servers
Rejoice! Australians will get to take part in the upcoming Quake Champions closed beta...just a few weeks after it goes live in other territories.
Speaking to IGN, id Software's Tim Willits said the Quake Champions team is working to get Australian servers live once North America and Europe are in the beta.
“I love my Australian fans, but y’all live on the other side of the world!' said Willits. "So we’re going to move into closed beta very soon, and we are working with a major server cloud company and so we are not spinning up Australian servers until a few weeks after we go into our closed beta, so don’t anyone get all upset down in Australia. We haven’t forgot about you, but we will send the invites to our Australian fans when we spin our servers up, but modern technology and modern cloud-based companies have made spinning up servers in Australia much easier, way more easier than South America, if you believe. So no-one panic in Australia, we got you guys covered, but we will get you in to the closed beta after we get our servers spun up in North America and Europe, but you guys are not far behind.”
Avatar 2: Filming Starts Late 2017
James Cameron's long-in-development Avatar 2 will reportedly begin filming later this year.

“We’re starting training, and we’re starting — hm, I probably can’t say anything," Weaver said. "We will be actually shooting it by the fall.”
Weaver then went on to praise the scripts for all four Avatar sequels, promising fans that the long wait for these new movies will be worth it and that she's not worried at all about people being disappointed. However, she did express a slight concern over taking on such an ambitious project.
