Battlefield 5: Firestorm – What You Need to Know About the Battle Royale Mode

We've played (and won!) Battlefield 5: Firestorm, the series' new Battle Royale mode, and it's a pleasant mix of elements of the series and the genre.

Want to know more? We've got a bunch of details, and some brand new gameplay, nestled in this very article:

Firestorm is a fairly straightforward set-up as Battle Royales go. 64 players (squad and solo variants are available) parachute onto a single landmass, and kill each other off as the titular, circular Firestorm closes in.

As per Battlefield tradition, the real difference here is size. Firestorm's map, Halvøy, is 10 times bigger than the previous largest Battlefield map. What's interesting here is how Firestorm uses that scale - the circle will only cover around two thirds of the map from the very beginning of the round, meaning you won't have to worry too much about escaping the incoming wall of fire, but every round should feel slightly different, placing you across different, distant parts of the map.

Why One-Punch Man: Season 2’s Animation Is So Different

A new One-Punch Man Season 2 trailer has arrived, garnering nearly 1.5 million views on IGN in less than 24 hours - but after watching it, some fans feel like they’ve taken a punch to the gut, with the animation being far from a knock-out.

Many fan reactions on social media seem to criticize the trailer’s animation style, with viewers noticing the prevalence of 3DCG, lack of action, odd pacing, and overall less-than-stellar quality. Dozens of comments were posted on IGN's One-Punch Man trailer, including one from user omgseriouslydude which called the animation "plain" with "a lot of still frames and flash animation-like movements," compared to the Season 1 approach.
