If you have ever tried your hand at spinning records, or even if you have just listened to a few DJs, then you know that the ability to mix various tracks together is not just important, it goes to the heart of the musical style as a whole. That is a lesson that FreeStyleGames, the developer behind DJ Hero 2 has learned

In the sequel to the rhythm game, gamers/DJs will now be able to mix in large sections of other songs using the cross fade feature. It might sound like a minor detail, but it should help to open up the game and make it more like a true DJ experience.

Check out the video below for more details. DJ Hero 2 will be released for the PS 3, Wii and Xbox 360 on October 19.

After a few weeks of leaks and rumors, Valve has finally announced that Counter-Strike 2 will be launching this summer as a free update to CS:GO.

Valve is describing Counter-Strike 2 as an “overhaul to every system, every piece of content, and every part of the C-S experience” and “the largest technical leap forward in Counter-Strike’s history," promising years of support for the game. It sounds a lot similar to how Blizzard handled the jump to Overwatch 2.

Modern Warfare 2’s new season is proof Call of Duty needs to take a year off

Main characters of Modern Warfare 2.

The eagerly anticipated second season of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has a lot in store. It'll incorporate a new small-scale Warzone 2.0 battle royale map called Ashika Island, along with new DMZ features and a fresh set of weapons to try out. While Season 2 certainly has lots of exciting new content in the pipeline, things are looking dire for Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer, as very few new features are planned for the update.

Sure, it's nice that Warzone 2.0 and DMZ are getting so much attention during Season 2, but the latest update is a grim sign for the overall life cycle of Modern Warfare 2 -- a game that seems to have been left in the dust as Activision sprints on to its next project,

So, what exactly is Modern Warfare 2 getting alongside Season 2? On paper, it seems like a sizeable amount. That is, until you break down what's in the works.

Warzone 2.0 Season 2: release date, Ashika Island map, and Resurgence mode

Characters from Warzone 2.0 posing for Season 2.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 will be entering its second season, and while Activision hasn't officially unveiled all of the contents of the update, the company did make a few announcements to stir up excitement. Much like you'd expect with live-service games, Call of Duty is built on a seasonal system, wherein the game gets major content drops with each update.

Season 2 is gearing up for launch after a short delay, and for many fans, it's a make-or-break scenario, because reception to Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2.0 has been middling thus far.
