He did not plan to run out nine McDonald’s All-Americans on a single team, did not plan to run a platoon system and limit his best players’ minutes and shot attempts and, theoretically at least, their potential for individual glory. Until he had to, and then he planned every detail.

What is it about the Cowboys that drives otherwise smart analysts to paralysis by analysis? Before the fourth-round QB out of Mississippi State had even played a meaningful regular season down in the NFL, TV analysts were practically declaring him the next Troy Aikman. It was not enough to say that Prescott is a good-looking young QB. Or that’s he’s the likely successor to injured Tony Romo. Nope, they had to throw themselves over the TV cliff by declaring the arrival of Prescott meant Romo was finished and done with the Cowboys....

According to Treyarch, Call of Duty: Black Ops 3’s Gorod Krovi campaign gives players who purchase the third DLC pack a whole “new Zombies experience.” While neither the developer nor the title’s publisher Activision offered up explicit details as far as the in-game mechanics of Descent’s Zombies mode goes, it will include “a battle between giant mechanized soldiers and ferocious dragons," which is not a description many gamers would associate with the Call of Duty franchise....

For a limited time, Blackout, the battle royale mode for Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, will be allowing anyone playing Quads the ability to partake in a modified version of the team-based online mode which lets players respawn in the middle of a match. The new mode, called “Down But Not Out,” began its trial period on January 16th for PS4 users, and will run until the end of the month....

Treyarch spilled the beans on the entire list of achievements and trophies, a total of 50. If my math is correct, there is an opportunity to earn 775 achievement points on the Xbox 360, and for the PS3 there is one Gold Trophy, 13 Silver Trophies and 36 Bronze Trophies. There are three achievements that are still listed as classified, so whether they are major plot points or extra challenges has yet to be confirmed....

Now, in a move that’s surely going to surprise fans, Treyarch has added the tactical nuke into Cold of Duty: Black Ops Cold War in the latest update. This would also mark the first time Treyarch added a feature into its Call of Duty games. The nuke was first introduced in Infinity Ward’s Modern Warfare as a secret power-up before it was permanently added into the sequel.

While this bug may not be game-breaking, it can easily be game-ending as Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War fans find themselves in a usual place.

The Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Zombies game mode includes both a survival round-based experience and the Dead Ops Arcade. While both of these are zombie-themed experiences, they play in dramatically different ways. While Zombies is usually a first-person endeavor, the Dead Ops Arcade adds in a top-down shooter aesthetic.

What makes the bug particularly frustrating is how fun the Crossbow is to use in-game. The midseason weapon addition can be deadly in multiplayer if it is in the right hands, as it is a guaranteed one-shot kill. Further, the Crossbow is one of the most overpowered Call of Duty Zombies weapons, making it worth the unlock for those that love the classic Survival mode.

One of the main draws for the series is the fast-paced, precision shooting in a multiplayer setting. While there is always a competitive edge to matches in Call of Duty, modern titles take it up a notch. Treyarch added League Play to the game for fans to show off their skills, and Season 2 stats for the official League are looking good. However, it looks like there are some questionable rating decisions happening behind the curtain....

Black Ops Cold War is a direct sequel to the original Black Ops, with an espionage story set in the early ’80s.

Much like Season 2 Reloaded’s intel, all the locations are tied to Outbreak. As a result, players only interested in intel do not need to play Die Maschine or Firebase Z this season, as the open-world Zombies mode houses all the new collectibles for players to track down. Spread evenly throughout the mode’s regions, including the new Duga location, players will have some set spots to search every time they warp to a fresh area....

While Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War’s glitchy VTOL scorestreak is remaining in multiplayer, both Artillery and the Napalm Strike will be joining Treyarch’s fan favorite survival mode. Artillery, like in multiplayer, will allow players to drop three bombs in carefully selected areas on the map — something that could prove to be incredibly effective during exfils. Napalm Strikes, on the other hand, will set zombies aflame, though it is unclear if the fiery carpet bomb will damage players as well....

Oops, now two seconds. Jackson stands 6-1. Cincinnati Bearcats forward Tre Scott, defending him at the time, is 6-8. What made the situation work for the Buckeyes, though, was that Jackson was aware of his time constraints, and Scott was not. With Scott preoccupied with the possibility Jackson might attempt a drive toward the rim, Jackson took a half-step back, fired a 3-pointer with a little extra arc beneath it and watched it snap through the net for what might have been the decisive basket in Ohio State’s 64-56 victory....
