How to Navigate Starfield: A Beginner's Guide

Image
Starfield is a massive, intimidating video game that, for better and worse, doesn't spend a lot of time tutorializing its gameplay and systems. It means the opening hours of the game can be particularly confusing, but the tips below, gathered by the Game Informer staff, should help alleviate at least some confusion you might be experiencing early in the game. Related: Unraveling the Mysteries of Starfield: A Complete Timeline Stay On The Main Path, At Least For Awhile Starfield lets you loose pretty quickly, and it is tempting to just start planet hopping right away, but you will do yourself a favor by sticking to the main path for at least a few hours. Our suggestion is that you play at least enough Constellation missions to find a mysterious temple. It may feel restrictive to hold yourself back, but you will be grateful to give yourself the time to learn the game, find good weapons, and build up your inventory. Fast-Travel Is The Primary (And Often Only) Way To Explore Unlike pr

Exploring the Benefits of Modern Warfare 2 Season 5 Reloaded's New Lobby Disbanding Alternative

Image
You probably have heard the cries about disbanding lobbies if you follow the discourse around Call of Duty from a specific segment of the player base.

It doesn't look like Infinity Ward is changing anything, but Season 5 reloaded - which arrives tomorrow, August 30 at 9am PT / 12pm ET / 5pm BST - adds a Play Again mode.
