An ambitious-sounding Call of Duty mod is coming this week, ushering in what its developers describe as a recreation of the original Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer experience “with new twists.” Some fans, however, are concerned that Activision will step in and shut the whole thing down like it did with the fan-made Call of Duty SM2 mod in 2023.
The mod is for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered, and it includes numerous maps (50+ in total), an updated progression system, more camos, and custom attachments. The killstreaks you remember from Modern Warfare 2 are in the mod, too.
There is a lot of excitement and hype around this mod, in part because 2020’s Modern Warfare II Remastered was campaign-only and did not include any multiplayer support. At the time, Activision’s explanation for why it didn’t release a multiplayer experience left a lot of people shaking their heads and trying to understand. And now, Call of Duty fans are taking matters into their own hands and do…
Diablo 4: Vessel of Hatred adds a ton of new content to the loot-driven dungeon crawler, including a new region, mercenaries, and Runewords. Runewords are created when you combine two runes in an item with two sockets, giving you powerful bonuses. These new items are only available if you have the expansion and there is a large variety, giving you plenty of options, once you unlock them.
How to unlock Runewords
You unlock Runewords during the main Vessel of Hatred questline, during the Madman, Crowned quest that takes you to speak to Ormus in the Council Chambers. After speaking to him, you’ll receive a briefing on the Runewords mechanics, and an initial set of Runes to begin experimenting with. Runewords don’t start dropping as loot until you complete this quest, so you try and prioritize getting through the Vessel of Hatred campaign, or at least through this mission.
