Former Premier League forward Hameur Bouazza hit the winner in the third minute of added time to ensure the Tunisian side maintain their 100 per cent record after two matches. Elsewhere in Group A, Ferroviario Beira of Mozambique drew 0-0 at home to Al-Hilal Omdurman in one of three goalless games on the day, leaving both sides winless in the competition.

They tested positive for the virus, which is believed to have killed at least 56 people and spread around the world. The Orange County Health Care Agencies (HCA) Communicable Disease Control Division said they received confirmation from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) about the latest case.

More than 60 people were reported to be trapped in the Sierra National Forest, including at least 50 in the Lake Edison area and 14 on China Peak, authorities confirmed. Rescue efforts Monday by military helicopters were “unsuccessful,” with one fatality confirmed but there may be multiple casualties, the Fresno Fire Department warned. “Updated info on MCI ][multi-casualty incident] event at FYI: rescue efforts were unsuccessful, military pilots tried valiantly to land but heavy smoke conditions prevented a safe approach, another effort will be made shortly to evacuate the trapped people in Lake Edison and China Peak using night vision,” the department noted Monday on its official Twitter account....

Katura Stokes said that on January 20, a science teacher named Kimberly Newman ranted at her and her son, a student at the Desert Willow Fine Arts, Science and Technology Magnet Academy. The rant allegedly occurred after the two met with Newman on Zoom to ask about her son’s difficulties accessing some of the school’s online educational tools. In a video of the alleged rant recorded on Stokes’ cell phone and later provided to KCBS-TV by her attorney, Newman reportedly said, “These parents, that’s what kind of pieces of shit they are....

The 26-year-old program to get people to put solar panels on their homes, known as Net Energy Metering, has incited a debate between the state’s major utilities and the solar industry. State regulators may decrease incentives for the program. Proposed reforms are expected to drop Monday from regulators at the California Public Utilities Commission, which supervises the state’s major utilities and the rates they are allowed to set. As of now, residential solar customers can sell whatever energy is unused back to power companies at the retail rate for power, which typically gives them a deep discount on their energy bills....

Now that reveal has officially dropped, and there’s a lot of new stuff coming to Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. Alongside new content for Warzone and Zombies Mode, Multiplayer is getting four new maps and three new multiplayer modes. While one new multiplayer mode is truly new, the others are returning favorites, as are two of the four new maps. Topping all of this off is a brand new scorestreak....

When it was revealed that Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War would be bringing back the classic mini map, dropping the new radar system introduced in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, fans were excited to have the chance to play like they were used to playing for years. However, Redditor A-Aron_James did not get to experience the mini map system in one of his matches, as for some reason there is no mini map to be seen....

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War has been a huge part of the success of the franchise. Call of Duty passed $3 billion in net bookings over a 12-month span, and that was thanks to games like Black Ops Cold War, Call of Duty: Warzone, Call of Duty Mobile, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. But in juggling so many games, issues, glitches, and requests for changes seem to be falling through the cracks....

Gun Game made its return in the Season 2 update for Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, and the party game keeps the same premise that it has always had. Players need to be the first to secure 20 kills, with each enemy defeated seeing them switch to another weapon. Players start with secondaries, move to ARs and SMGs, and then go on to Tactical and Sniper Rifles. Like always, the final tiers are the most challenging, though this is where players have taken issue with the most recent version of Gun Game....

Like most other modern multiplayer games, Black Ops Cold War has been consistently receiving new content in thanks to its season-structure. Every season is different, but generally, each one brings new weapons, cosmetics, operators, maps, and other surprises for both multiplayer and Zombies players alike. Some of Black Ops Cold War’s Season 6 content has been revealed already like the new Zombies map, Forsaken, which is said to conclude the game’s Dark Aether storyline that began in Season 1....

Due to the popularity of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War and Warzone, the game’s servers can often get overloaded. Players loading in, parties jumping from game mode to game mode, and overall server issues can play a part in the server glitch. Despite this, a bypass has been discovered for a rather annoying issue with the game’s server queue functions. RELATED: Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War - Thor’s Hammer Explained...

Based on the requirements that need to be met for the bug to occur, it seems like it will be limited to Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War’s Combined Arms and Multi-Team game modes. Boat users specifically should be on the lookout, meaning that Sanatorium and Armada are where the so-called earthquakes are likely to happen. Those piloting a sea vessel should try to find somewhere to hide whenever they hear that a napalm strike is inbound, too....

The four-player teams may draw inspiration from Call of Duty: Warzone, but the game mode is scaled down to 40 players on one map. According to Treyarch, Fireteam: Dirty Bomb mode will introduced two large maps, but no further details have been shared. In order to win, teams must collect uranium deposits and insert their found uranium in “Dirty Bombs” around the map. When the bombs are primed with uranium, they will detonate, and accrue points....

A fast-paced series like Call of Duty has to be particularly mindful of how long it takes a player to take out another. Too much time can leave shootouts feeling sluggish, while too little can leave players unable to react to enemy fire before dying. Many felt that the TTK in Black Ops Cold War’s alpha struck a pretty good balance, but over the course of the first closed and open betas on the PS4 this week, players have been reporting on social media that the TTK has been changed for the beta....

In Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, players rely on purchased weapons and wall-mounted guns. With a limited selection, it can often be hard to implement blueprints despite having their access within the game mode. Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Zombies is gaining a new feature that should alleviate this frustrating limitation.

Activision has revealed that the latest avatar of the hugely popular Call of Duty franchise, Call of Duty: Ghosts, has generated over $1 Billion in worldwide sales. It must be noted that these sales are to retailers and does not necessarily mean that all have been sold to consumers. Nevertheless Activision is confident that this will be the most successful launch for any game on the next generation consoles; the Xbox One and the PlayStation 4....

With Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 being the most successful launch in the history of the franchise, it would not be surprising if the game received a whole new level of support, and campaign DLC would be an exciting route to take. Thanks to campaign early access and multiplayer rewards for the completion of missions, more people are engaging with the singleplayer mode. In turn, there will be more of a reason to expand it, as there will be a bigger group of players that will engage with the content....
