The first content collection for Modern Warfare 3 has just recently landed on PC, adding new multiplayer maps and a couple of spec ops missions. The second pack will do the same, but also introduce a new 1 vs 1/2 vs 2 mode called Face Off. According to the trailer above, the first two Face Off maps will be released for free to give everyone a taste of how it plays. Two more will then be added in the full content pack later. All of the dates refer to the Xbox version, however. The last DLC pack took more than a month to reach the PC. Expect similar delays again for content pack 2.

Blizzard, however, will retain the right to use the DOTA name non-commercially. This includes promoting DOTA-style maps made for Blizzard games by the community. Their in-house DOTA successor, formerly known as Blizzard DOTA, will be renamed to Blizzard All-Stars while keeping the core gameplay mostly unchanged.

“We’re pleased that we could come to an agreement with Blizzard without drawing things out in a way that would benefit no one,” said Gabe Newell, president and co-founder of Valve. “We both want to focus on the things our fans care about, creating and shipping great games for our communities.”

This sets an interesting precedent, particularly for the group of players and developers that feel the name DOTA should be owned by the community that made it an international sensation. Do you think this agreement is a fair compromise for everyone involved?

Konami today has officially announced PES 2013, heralding it as a “whole new ball game”.

The focus this year is firmly on the pillars of individuality and full control, and promises to give football fans an “unprecedented level of control”.

Taking inspiration from its cover star, Crisitano Ronaldo, PES 2013 actively encourages individuality, letting you play “any style of ball”, which for the first time this means you can take “full control over shots”.

The myriad changes and tweaks are being grouped under three headings:

• PES FullControl: players will be giving greater freedom over ball control and the way players receive and trap the ball has been improved. For the first time players will be given the option to take manual control over their shots. Dribbling speed has been slowed to keep it more realistic, but using R2 will allow players to add “various styles to their close control”.
• Player ID: Players are more recognisable in PES 2013, having signature attributes, skills and tricks. The intention is to make individual players feel unique and easily identifiable on the pitch. This also extends to the behaviour of goal keepers.
• ProActive AI: PES 2013 promises to balance games even more. Teams will have greater organisation in defence and attack, and will respond more quickly when they gain or lose possession.

The most ambitious God of War adventure in the series so far, God of War: Ascension takes us right back to where it all began. Discover the origins of Kratos as he takes his first steps on a now legendary quest for freedom and vengeance.

Valve co-founder Gabe Newell has confirmed that Dota 2 will be a free to play game, as expected, but also mentioned the payment structure will “have some twists.” This information came out of a podcast with Seven Day Cooldown.

No specific details were given beyond that, but Newell did hint that whatever payment structure winds up being incorporated could somehow separate well-behaved, skilled players from skilled total jerks who spam chat channels with foul language, insults and irritating nonsense.

Newell also mentioned that aside from Valve-produced content in Dota 2, the game will very likely include community created items in the way that Team Fortress 2 does, as well as potential items like a Skyrim mount as a Dota 2 item courier. The Skyrim mount was just a hypothetical example provided by Newell, but wouldn’t be all that surprising – Team Fortress 2 already incorporates numerous item crossovers with other Steam titles.

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive missed its original beta testing window, and the shooter is similarly skipping its planned early 2012 release.

When it arrives, Global Offensive will feature new game modes, weapons, maps, and characters for the franchise. Additionally, gamers will be able to fight on updated versions of original Counter-Strike maps (including de_dust), and Global Offensive will support matchmaking and leaderboards.

The Counter-Strike franchise has sold more than 25 million units in a little over 12 years. Global Offensive is currently in development at Valve Software and Hidden Path Entertainment, which also codeveloped 2004′s Counter-Strike: Source.
