More information about Sledgehammer Games’ Call of Duty: WWII is coming later today, May 23, in the form of a live-streamed Q&A session, with some of its creators. Broadcast on Facebook Live, you can watch the stream right here starting 3 p.m. PT/6 p.m. ET.

Announced by two of the men who’ll be bringing you the live-streamed information later today, the “Making Call of Duty” video series is going to be an ongoing project. This will be the first of many live-streams during the build-up to the game’s release later this year. You can watch it right here when it goes live.

Sledgehammer heads Glen Schofield and Michael Condrey won’t be the only two featured in it, though. We’re also told that special guests will include animation director Chris Stone and campaign director Brett Robbins (thanks Gamespot). Together, the four team members will answer questions pitched to them via their Facebook comment section.

Some of the most highly rated questions so far ask about whether the game will have destructive maps and whether it will have planes, blimps, and warships. Some want to know technical details about the graphics engine, and others are concerned about whether playable female characters will be present in the game.

As well as answering questions from fans, in the future Sledgehammer plans to host interviews with various cast members, and offer a look at new and exciting gameplay footage. Today’s stream, however, is designed to set the stage for the future, as well as cover any concerns Call of Duty fans may have about the game.

While those streams will keep people informed throughout the build-up to the game’s release, we can expect much more information when it debuts at E3 in the coming weeks. We’re told that Sledgehammer will be holding panels discussing the multiplayer and single-player campaign, as well as hosting several giveaways.

Call of Duty: WWII is set for release on Windows PCs, Xbox One, PS4, and PS4 Pro on November 3.

Does Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 have Hardcore mode?

In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, players have access to a wide variety of multiplayer game modes including Team Deathmatch, Search and Destroy, and the new Prisoner Capture. One of the most popular modes in the series is Hardcore, which has been in the series for years. This intense mode removes the HUD and increases damage across the board. But does this mode appear in the new Modern Warfare 2?

Here's what you need to know about the Hardcore mode in Modern Warfare 2.
Does Modern Warfare 2 have a Hardcore mode?
When Modern Warfare 2 first launched, it didn't have a Hardcode mode, much to the disappointment of fans. Instead, the game had a mode called Tier 1, which was basically a rudimentary version of Hardcore mode, with some missing features. For instance, there's no HUD, whatsoever, no hitmarkers, and no killfeed, which made the mode hard to actually play in some cases. Thankfully, Activision finally did add Hardcore more at the start of 2023, replacing the Tier 1 mode from before.

Call of Duty: Warzone devs share the design secrets of the best battle royale map
Overhead shot of Vondel map in Warzone.

The Vondel map in Call of Duty: Warzone is one of the best battlegrounds in the history of the battle royale genre. It's a small-scale, densely packed map with a wide variety of points of interest (POIs) that feel distinct. Modeled after European cities, Vondel is a feat of level design as it simultaneously feels fun and functional. It's a city that you can truly imagine as a real place, with a slew of different shops to enter, a canal, and even a water taxi service that moves throughout the map.

But behind the scenes, there are countless design choices that help the flow and pacing of the map. To get a better sense of just what makes this map work so well, I spoke with Beenox Senior Level Designer Fred Wilson and Lead Artist Guillaume Alain. The duo revealed how Vondel's composition seeps into the players' subconscious, with intuitive design choices that work better than any Warzone map that's come before.
Pacing is king
