Battlefield V Teases Brand New Game Mode
New details about Battlefield V have emerged since its official reveal earlier this month.
Battlefield V will feature a new multiplayer game mode called Airborne, where players parachute onto the map and destroy or defend artillery on the ground, all while explosive dogfights presumably take place in the air above.
The new mode was introduced with very few details on the Battlefield franchise's official Twitter account. The tweet stated: "Say hello to Airborne: a new Battlefield V mode where you'll parachute into the battlefield and work with your squad to destroy enemy artillery, or defend them and make sure the threat from above is dealt with." It included the image below.

Deadpool 2 is great. If you haven't seen it, wait until after you've read this, watched the video, and then clicked through the links below, then go see it. You don't have to click all of them, but one or two would be nice. Call your work and tell them you're sick, if you have to. If you work at the movie theater, you might have to come up with a more creative explanation, like you're in a fugue state or something. What I'm trying to say is, Deadpool 2 is very enjoyable.
Deadpool toys are even more fun because you get to use them to watch the work of the most incredible movie studio on Earth: the studio of your imagination. Just like any big-name property, there is a range of toys to suit your Deadpool needs. From the classic posable action figures of your youth to the super-crisp detail of a collector figure like Sideshow Toys' 1/6-scale figure, there is a Deadpool toy to kick your other toys' toy-butts.

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is set to take in over $100 million in its domestic debut.
Deadline reports the sequel is currently tracking to make between $130 million to $150 million in its opening weekend. The film hits US theaters on June 22.

This was eventually surpassed by The Force Awakens later that year, which debuted to an estimated $247 million domestically, according to Box Office Mojo.

Imperator: Rome is Grand Strategy on a Scale We’ve Never Seen Before
The year is 304 BCE, and a scrappy Italian city-state called Rome has not yet begun to even dream of the greatness it will one day achieve. Paradox’s recently announced grand strategy game Imperator: Rome will allow you to rise to the challenge of that war-torn era. Surrounded by a roiling cauldron of barbarian tribes, the ascendant Mediterranean power of Carthage, and the squabbling successor states left behind by the untimely death of Alexander the Great - it's fair to say you'll have your work cut out for you leading Rome (or any of the over 400 playable nations) to dominance.
Paradox Development Studio (known for such grand strategy staples as Crusader Kings II and Stellaris) last tackled the Roman age back in 2008 with Europa Universalis: Rome. But while that was a spin-off, Imperator is the start of a new franchise with its own identity - even if it does borrow a lot from the studio’s other games.
