Cum arată iubirea unui băiat, din interior Publicat pe : 1 februarie 2026 Autor : Vasile Gabriel Se vorbește mult despre „semne” și „indicatori” când vine vorba de iubire. Uneori prea mult. Pentru că adevărul e simplu: un băiat care iubește cu adevărat nu trăiește iubirea ca pe un spectacol, ci ca pe o responsabilitate frumoasă. Iubirea nu e doar fluturi, dor, chimie și atracție. E și liniște. E și efort. E și maturitate. Din perspectiva mea (și a multor bărbați care iubesc sincer), iubirea se vede mai ales în lucrurile care nu ies în evidență în filme: felul în care rămâi prezent, chiar când e greu; felul în care îți controlezi impulsurile când ești nervos; felul în care alegi să protejezi relația în fața tentațiilor, a orgoliului sau a fricii. Mai jos găsești 15 lucruri pe care le face un băiat atunci când iubește cu adevărat. Nu sunt „trucuri” și nu sunt replici memorabile. Sunt comportamente repetate, vizibile în timp. Și sunt explicate amplu, din prisma unui bărbat care iubește. 1) Îți oferă siguranță emoțională, nu neliniște Când iubesc, primul lucru pe care îl vreau pentru femeia de lângă mine este să se simtă în siguranță. Nu doar fizic, ci emoțional: să nu se teamă că va fi umilită, minimizată, ignorată sau pedepsită pentru că spune ce simte. Un băiat care iubește nu te pune să „ghicești” ce e în capul lui, nu îți dă tratamentul tăcerii ca să te controleze și nu îți aruncă vorbe grele ca să câștige o ceartă. Siguranța emoțională înseamnă să știi că, dacă ai o zi proastă și spui ceva stângaci, nu te trezești cu o reacție disproporționată. Din interior, asta înseamnă autocontrol. Înseamnă să mă opresc înainte să rănesc. Să-mi spun: „Ok, sunt nervos, dar nu e ok să lovesc în persoana pe care o iubesc.” Când iubesc, nu vreau să „ies deasupra”. Vreau să ies împreună cu ea din problemă. Semnul clar: lângă el te simți mai calmă, nu mai anxioasă. 2) Te ascultă ca să înțeleagă, nu ca să răspundă Bărbații au, de multe ori, reflexul de a repara. Auzi o problemă, cauți o soluție. Dar iubirea matură înseamnă să înveți și alt limbaj: să asculți emoția, nu doar situația. Când iubesc, nu vreau să-mi demonstrez inteligența printr-un răspuns rapid. Vreau să înțeleg: de ce te doare, ce ai nevoie, ce te-a atins. Uneori, femeia de lângă mine nu vrea o soluție în 30 de secunde. Vrea să simtă că nu e singură în ce trăiește. A asculta cu adevărat înseamnă să pun întrebări bune, să nu întrerup, să nu transform discuția în „cine are dreptate”. Înseamnă și să țin minte: dacă mi-ai spus că te deranjează un anumit comportament, nu e o informație pe care o arunc. E un reper. Semnul clar: îți reține detalii și revine la ele, nu doar „te aprobă” mecanic. 3) Își face timp pentru tine, chiar și când viața e aglomerată Timpul este moneda reală a iubirii. Nu postările, nu declarațiile, nu promisiunile. Când iubesc, simt natural nevoia să fiu acolo. Nu ca obligație, ci ca alegere. Asta nu înseamnă că un băiat îndrăgostit renunță la tot pentru relație. Dar înseamnă că nu te pune mereu pe „pauză”. Nu te ține la coada listei, după prieteni, jocuri, muncă, distracții, comoditate. Mai ales în relațiile moderne, mulți se ascund în „sunt ocupat”. Uneori e real. Dar iubirea reală găsește un spațiu: un apel, un mesaj cald, o întâlnire scurtă, o planificare. Nu te lasă în aer. Semnul clar: timpul lui cu tine este constant, nu accidental. 4) Te respectă în conflicte și nu te lovește cu cuvintele Conflictele sunt inevitabile. Iubirea se vede în cum te cerți, nu în faptul că nu te cerți niciodată. Un băiat care iubește nu jignește, nu amenință cu plecarea, nu scoate la suprafață greșeli vechi ca să te facă mică. Când iubesc, chiar dacă mă apucă nervii, încerc să-mi țin gura sub control. Nu pentru că sunt un înger, ci pentru că știu că unele cuvinte nu se mai întorc. Și o rană repetată se transformă în distanță. Respectul în conflict înseamnă și că pot să iau pauză: „Sunt prea încărcat acum, revin când pot vorbi civilizat.” E mult mai sănătos decât să arunci un torent de reproșuri. Semnul clar: chiar și supărat, nu te degradează. 5) Îți arată afecțiune fără să condiționeze totul Afecțiunea adevărată nu e tranzacțională. Un băiat care iubește nu se poartă frumos doar ca să obțină ceva (sex, validare, control). Afecțiunea lui e un limbaj constant: atingere, îmbrățișări, gesturi, cuvinte simple. Din perspectiva unui bărbat, afecțiunea e și o formă de conectare. Nu e doar „romantism”, e modul în care îți spun: „Sunt cu tine.” Și o fac chiar și în zile banale. Chiar și când nu e „moment perfect”. Semnul clar: afecțiunea există și când nu urmează nicio „recompensă”. 6) Te include în viața lui reală, nu te ține într-o bulă Un băiat care iubește nu te ascunde. Nu te ține în zona „doar noi doi, fără să știe nimeni”. Te introduce în lumea lui: prieteni, familie, planuri, obiceiuri. Asta nu e despre validare socială. E despre intenție. Când iubesc, vreau să simți că ai un loc în viața mea. Vreau să te cunosc și în contexte diferite, să te văd cum te simți între oamenii mei, să văd cum ne potrivim în realitate, nu doar în „filmul” nostru. Semnul clar: e mândru să fie asociat cu tine, fără presiuni și fără ascunzișuri. 7) Îți susține visurile și nu concurează cu tine Un băiat care iubește nu se sperie de ambiția ta. Nu te reduce la rolul de „fată care trebuie să stea cumințică”. Dimpotrivă: te susține, te încurajează, te întreabă ce ai nevoie. Din perspectiva mea, iubirea reală îți face bine. Dacă eu te iubesc, vreau să crești. Să înflorești. Și dacă succesul tău îmi zgârie orgoliul, asta e problema mea de lucrat, nu a ta de micșorat. Semnul clar: se bucură de reușitele tale și nu le ironizează. Își asumă greșelile și repară, nu fuge Când iubesc, învăț să spun „am greșit” fără să simt că mi-am pierdut bărbăția. E una dintre cele mai mature forme de iubire: să-ți recunoști partea ta și să repari. Un băiat care iubește nu se apără automat, nu întoarce vina, nu te face să te simți nebună pentru că ai o reacție. Își pune întrebarea: „Ce pot face diferit data viitoare?” și chiar face. Semnul clar: nu repetă aceeași greșeală la infinit fără schimbare. 9) Îți oferă stabilitate, nu rollercoaster emoțional Iubirea nu ar trebui să arate ca un joc de noroc: azi totul e perfect, mâine dispare, poimâine revine. Un băiat care iubește e previzibil într-un sens bun: comportamentul lui are coerență. Din interior, stabilitatea înseamnă că nu îmi folosesc emoțiile ca armă. Nu te „pedepsesc” cu distanță. Nu te țin în tensiune ca să mă dorești mai mult. Asta nu e iubire, e manipulare. Semnul clar: știi unde ești cu el, fără să stai în alertă. 10) Este atent la detalii și îți arată că te vede Detaliile sunt semnul atenției. Un băiat care iubește își amintește lucruri mici: cum îți bei cafeaua, ce te liniștește când ești stresată, ce te supără repetitiv. Când iubesc, nu o fac din strategie. O fac pentru că mi pasă. În capul meu, tu nu ești „oricine”. Ești tu. Și asta se vede în cum reacționez: îți iau o gustare doar pentru că știu că ai uitat să mănânci, îți trimit un mesaj înainte de un moment important, îți țin minte preferințele. Semnul clar: ai sentimentul că ești observată, nu doar „acceptată”. 11) Te protejează fără să te controleze Protecția sănătoasă înseamnă grijă, nu posesivitate. Un băiat care iubește vrea să fii bine, dar nu îți impune reguli, nu îți verifică telefonul, nu îți restrânge libertatea. Din perspectiva mea, controlul vine din frică și insecuritate. Iubirea vine din încredere. Dacă iubesc, aleg să construiesc încredere, nu să pun garduri. Semnul clar: grija lui nu îți taie aripile. 12) Face planuri în care „noi” apare natural Când un băiat iubește, viitorul începe să includă persoana iubită fără efort. Nu neapărat „căsătorie mâine”, dar planuri firești: o vacanță peste câteva luni, un proiect împreună, să vă organizați timpul, să vă creați tradiții. Din interior, asta înseamnă asumare. Înseamnă că nu trăiesc relația ca pe ceva temporar, comod, „până la următoarea opțiune”. Înseamnă că vreau continuitate. Semnul clar: nu te ține în zona „vedem noi”, la nesfârșit. 13) Este sincer, chiar dacă adevărul e incomod Minciunile „ca să nu te supăr” ajung să distrugă. Un băiat care iubește spune adevărul cu respect, nu îl ascunde de frică. Sinceritatea nu înseamnă brutalitate, ci transparență. Din perspectiva mea, iubirea adevărată e suficient de solidă încât să suporte conversații grele: despre limite, despre nevoi, despre bani, despre gelozie, despre planuri. Dacă fug de adevăr, fug de relație. Semnul clar: comunică direct și curat, nu pe ocolișuri. 14) Te face să te simți dorită: emoțional și fizic A fi dorită nu înseamnă doar „ești frumoasă”. Înseamnă să simți că prezența ta contează. Că ești aleasă. Că ești importantă. Când iubesc, îmi arăt dorința în moduri diferite: privire, apropiere, complimente sincere, inițiativă. Și mai ales: consecvență. Dorința nu dispare când rutina apare; se transformă în altceva: intimitate, profunzime, siguranță. Semnul clar: nu te simți „lângă el”, ci „cu el”. 15) Rămâne prezent când e greu și luptă pentru relație Asta e poate cel mai mare semn. Când iubesc, nu dispar la primul disconfort. Nu fug când apar perioade reci, când apar diferențe, când viața apasă. A rămâne nu înseamnă să accepți orice. Înseamnă să ai răbdare să reparați, să discutați, să vă adaptați. Înseamnă să alegi relația atunci când e mai ușor să te retragi. Din perspectiva mea, iubirea adevărată e o decizie repetată: „Sunt aici. Nu perfect, dar prezent.” Semnul clar: implicarea lui crește în crize, nu scade. Iubirea adevărată se vede în consecvență Dacă ar fi să rezum totul într-o singură idee, ar fi asta: un băiat care iubește cu adevărat nu te pune pe ghicite. Te face să te simți în siguranță, te respectă, îți oferă stabilitate, își asumă greșelile și rămâne prezent. Iubirea nu e doar emoție. E caracter. Un băiat care iubește devine gelos? Poate simți gelozie, dar nu o folosește ca scuză pentru control. Iubirea sănătoasă se bazează pe încredere, nu pe supraveghere. Dacă un băiat nu spune des „te iubesc”, înseamnă că nu iubește? Nu neapărat. Unii bărbați arată iubirea mai mult prin acțiuni. Important e dacă există consecvență, respect și implicare, nu doar cuvinte. În cât timp se vede iubirea adevărată? De obicei, în timp. Semnele reale apar când trece entuziasmul inițial și rămân obiceiurile, respectul și modul în care gestionează conflictele. Care e diferența dintre atracție și iubire? Atracția e intensă și rapidă. Iubirea e profundă și stabilă. Atracția cere, iubirea oferă și construiește. Semne subtile că un băiat iubește cu adevărat (și multe femei le ignoră) Nu toate dovezile de iubire sunt spectaculoase. Unele sunt tăcute, discrete și tocmai de aceea trec neobservate. Din interior, ca bărbat, pot spune clar: iubirea adevărată se vede mai des în ce NU facem, nu doar în ce facem. 1. Nu dispare emoțional când tu ești vulnerabilă Când plângi, când ești confuză, când ai o perioadă mai grea — rămâne. Nu schimbă subiectul, nu minimalizează, nu spune „exagerezi”. Pentru un bărbat, a rămâne prezent emoțional este un efort real. Dacă o face constant, iubirea e acolo. 2. Te protejează în fața altora, chiar dacă nu ești de față Un băiat care iubește nu te bârfește cu prietenii și nu te expune pentru validare socială. Dacă apare o discuție delicată, te apără sau o închide. Respectul în absență este unul dintre cele mai puternice semne de iubire reală. 3. Îți respectă limitele fără să te pedepsească Nu se supără copilărește când spui „nu”. Nu face presiuni, nu condiționează afecțiunea. Un bărbat care iubește înțelege că limitele tale nu sunt un atac la masculinitatea lui. 4. Este atent la starea ta, nu doar la cuvintele tale Simte când ceva nu e în regulă, chiar dacă spui „sunt ok”. Nu te forțează să vorbești, dar rămâne disponibil. Asta nu vine din tehnici de seducție, ci din atașament real. 5. Te alege chiar și când nu e convenabil Când apar tentații, alternative sau contexte „mai ușoare”, nu îți joacă sentimentele la ruletă. Iubirea adevărată nu e oportunistă. Greșeli care distrug iubirea unui băiat (chiar dacă el iubește sincer) Această secțiune este extrem de valoroasă pentru SEO, pentru că răspunde la o întrebare reală: „De ce s-a schimbat?” 1. Disprețul mascat în glume Ironia constantă, comparațiile, micile înțepături repetate erodează profund iubirea unui bărbat. Din interior: pot suporta multe, dar disprețul omoară sentimentele lent și sigur. 2. Testele emoționale constante „Dacă m-ai iubi, ai face…” „Hai să vedem dacă reacționează…” Un băiat care iubește nu vrea să fie testat, vrea să fie crezut. 3. Lipsa de apreciere Când tot ce face devine „normal” și nimic nu mai e suficient, apare epuizarea emoțională. Iubirea masculină se hrănește mult din recunoaștere. 4. Controlul mascat în grijă Verificări, suspiciuni, restricții — toate omoară dorința de a rămâne. Dragostea nu supraviețuiește într-o cușcă. 5. Compararea constantă cu alți bărbați Fie că e fostul, prietenul, „unul de pe net”. Compararea repetată îl face să se retragă emoțional, chiar dacă încă iubește. Ce simte un băiat când iubește cu adevărat (din interior) Aceasta este o secțiune emoțională, perfectă pentru retenție și share-uri. Simte responsabilitate, nu doar dorință Se gândește înainte să vorbească Îi pasă de impactul acțiunilor lui Vrea să construiască, nu doar să consume Se teme uneori să nu piardă, dar nu controlează Iubirea masculină matură este calmă, nu zgomotoasă. Un băiat care iubește cu adevărat nu îți va oferi perfecțiune, dar îți va oferi stabilitate, respect și prezență reală. Iubirea lui nu e un joc, nu e o strategie și nu e un spectacol pentru alții. Este o alegere zilnică. Dacă te face să te simți în siguranță, văzută, dorită și inclusă — nu e întâmplare. Este iubire.

Matricea Divină și secretele ascunse de Vatican: codul antic care deschide puterile uitate ale umanității Publicat pe: 31 ianuarie 2026 Autor: Vasile Gabriel În lumea spiritualității moderne și a teoriilor alternative despre realitate, conceptul de Matrice Divină se evidențiază ca o idee fascinantă ce încearcă să unească știința cu spiritualitatea și să ofere o explicație complet diferită asupra naturii existenței umane. Dincolo de simpla metaforă, acest concept sugerează că realitatea nu este o construcție fixă și rigidă, ci un câmp interconectat de energie, conștiință și posibilități — un „cod cosmic” care a fost, potrivit unora, ascuns de instituții tradiționale și religioase, inclusiv de Vatican. Ce este „Matricea Divină”? Matricea Divină este un termen popularizat de autorul și cercetătorul Gregg Braden într-o carte cu același nume, în care se susține că universul funcționează ca un câmp energetic unificat care leagă tot ce există — materie, timp, gânduri, emoții și conștiință. În această viziune: Realitatea este holografică – fiecare parte conține întregul. Conștiința umană influențează realitatea, nu doar o observă. Emoțiile și intențiile noastre au un impact direct asupra evenimentelor din viața noastră. Universul răspunde la frecvențe și vibrații, nu doar la legi fizice rigide. Această idee este inspirată parțial din interpretări ale fizicii cuantice și din filozofii spirituale străvechi, conform cărora totul este conectat la un nivel fundamental. Manuscrise antice și rolul conștiinței Potrivit unor interpretări ale textelor antice, cum ar fi manuscrisele de la Marea Moartă, fiecare alegere, gând sau emoție creează și influențează „linii temporale” diferite în cadrul Matricei. Acest lucru sugerează că avem puterea de a co-crea realitatea, nu doar de a o trăi. În această concepție: ADN-ul uman nu este doar un cod biologic, ci și un transmițător de energie care interacționează cu Matricea. Emoțiile, în special cele ale iubirii sau compasiunii, produc frecvențe „armonice” care sunt cele mai puternice în influențarea câmpului universal. Rugăciunea sau intenția concentrată devine o formă de „tehnologie spirituală”, nu doar o practică religioasă. De ce se vorbește despre „secrete ascunse de Vatican”? În articolele care circulă pe internet despre Matricea Divină și Vatican se sugerează că unele cunoștințe despre puterea conștiinței sau natura realității erau cunoscute în trecutul istoric, dar au fost ascunse sau minimizate de instituții religioase în epocile ulterioare. Ideea este că, în loc să fie încurajat accesul la aceste cunoștințe, oamenii au fost învățați să se bazeze mai mult pe autoritate externă decât pe puterea proprie de co-creare. IMPORTANT: Nu există dovezi istorice mainstream care să confirme că Vaticanul ar păstra „coduri secrete ale Matricei”. Astfel de concluzii provin în mare parte din interpretări speculative sau din teorii alternative ale conspirației. Cum se leagă știința reală de Matricea Divină? Conceptul Matricei Divine încearcă să lege: idei din fizica cuantică, cum ar fi câmpurile energetice fundamentale și interconectarea particulelor; perspective din spiritualitate, cum ar fi unitatea vieții și rolul intenției; concepte filosofice despre natura realității și conștiinței. De exemplu, în fizica cuantică există teorii conform cărora observatorul influențează rezultatul unui experiment — ceea ce unii interpretează ca o dovadă că conștiința contribuie la manifestarea realității. Cu toate acestea, interpretările mai extinse despre „co-creare universală” rămân subiect de dezbatere și nu sunt acceptate unanim de comunitatea științifică. Critici și perspective alternative Criticii susțin că multe dintre conceptele promovate de Matricea Divină fac parte mai degrabă dintr-un amalgam de spiritualitate populară și teorii alternative, decât din știință dovedită. De exemplu: Ideea că instituțiile religioase ascund „cunoștințe universale” este de obicei nefundamentată. Cuvântul „secret” folosit în legătură cu Vaticanul se referă în mod real la arhivele private, care sunt documente istorice, nu coduri cosmice. Totuși, pentru mulți oameni, Mratricea Divină rămâne o metaforă captivantă pentru a înțelege legătura dintre gândurile noastre, emoțiile care ne modelează viața și modul în care interpretăm evoluția personală și colectivă. Matricea Divina ne invită să privim universul ca pe un ansamblu dinamic, în care conștiința umană joacă un rol activ. Fie că alegem să interpretăm aceste idei printr-o lentilă spirituală, filosofică sau metaforică, ele au captat imaginația multora și au deschis un dialog despre modul în care ne percepem pe noi înșine și realitatea înconjurătoare.

Tianxing‑1 și viitorul roboților umanoizi astronauți: China vrea primul robot astronaut din lume Autor: Vasile Gabriel | 31 ianuarie 2026 Într‑o mișcare care pare desprinsă din filmele SF, China pregătește lansarea în spațiu a unui robot umanoid cu rol de astronaut, o premieră globală în explorarea cosmică asistată de inteligență artificială. Acest proiect revoluționar este condus de compania Engine AI, în parteneriat cu Beijing Interstellar Human Spaceflight Technology, în cadrul programului Humanoid Robot Astronaut Exploration. Ce este PM01 și de ce contează? Robotul PM01 este construit special pentru condițiile dure ale spațiului: vacuum, microgravitație, radiații intense. Acesta poate simula mișcări umane, lua decizii autonome și asista astronauți în misiuni riscante. Senzori inteligenți și analiză de mediu în timp real Mișcări fine și controlate în gravitație zero Capacitate de intervenție tehnică fără control direct Alianță pentru spațiu: Engine AI + Interstellar Parteneriatul chinez integrează expertiza în AI cu soluții hardware rezistente la condițiile cosmice. Este un pas strategic în cursa globală pentru supremație tehnologică în spațiu. Exemple internaționale de roboți umanoizi spațiali China nu e singură în această inițiativă. Iată alți roboți trimiși sau pregătiți pentru spațiu: Vyommitra – India, ISRO, robot feminin semi-umanoid pentru testarea misiunii Gaganyaan Kirobo – Japonia, robot social creat de Toyota, lansat în 2013 pe ISS De ce sunt importanți acești roboți? Roboții umanoizi pot: Înlocui oamenii în misiuni periculoase Executa sarcini repetitive fără oboseală Repara sateliți, analiza condiții și pregăti baze pe Lună sau Marte Proiectul Tianxing‑1 este doar începutul. În următorii ani, vom asista la integrarea tot mai profundă dintre AI, robotică și explorare spațială. Roboții nu vor înlocui oamenii, ci le vor fi parteneri în cucerirea universului. Inițiative precum cele conduse de Engine AI și partenerii săi nu sunt doar experimente tehnologice, ci pioni în revoluția spațială a secolului 21. Roboții umanoizi nu vor elimina astronauții, dar pot deveni asistenți indispensabili — explorând, reparând și pregătind drumul pentru următoarea generație de exploratori umani.

Piața auto din România continuă să fie orientată clar către mașini accesibile atât la achiziție, cât și pentru întreținere. Cea mai înmatriculată marcă de mașină în țară este Volkswagen, iar modelul SUV e preferat în București. Românii preferă mașini cu costuri mici de întreținere. Foto arhivă Românii își aleg mașinile în funcție de preț, rezistență, disponibilitatea de piese și service-uri, dotări, costuri reduse de întreținere și eficiență financiară, astfel că 7 din 10 autoturisme înmatriculate în 2025 sunt din categoria mașini rulate, potrivit datelor oficiale DRPCIV, analizate de experții Plus Auto. Analiza ia în calcul înmatriculările auto la nivel național și datele legate de mărci, modele și tipuri de motorizare. În total, în 2025 au fost înmatriculate 548.612 mașini. Dintre acestea, 71,47% au fost mașini rulate, iar 28,53% mașini noi. „Această analiză oferă o perspectivă clară și relevantă asupra pieței auto din România în 2025, bazată pe cifre concrete și decizii reale de achiziție. Dincolo de topuri și clasamente, datele ne arată cum evoluează comportamentul de cumpărare, ce mărci își consolidează poziția și ce tendințe devin dominante. Este o radiografie utilă atât pentru consumatori, cât și pentru profesioniștii din industrie, care vor să înțeleagă direcția în care se îndreaptă piața auto. Piața de mașini rulate rămâne dominantă, dar segmentul de mașini noi a crescut față de anii anteriori. Românii aleg mașini rulate pentru că, la același buget, obțin mai mult: o mașină mai mare, mai bine echipată și cu costuri mai mici pe termen lung. Faptul că peste 70% dintre autoturismele înmatriculate sunt second-hand arată clar orientarea pieței către achiziții accesibile, în care sunt evitate deprecierea rapidă a unei mașini noi și costurile inițiale mari. Sunt preferate mărcile considerate sigure, predictibile și ușor de exploatat, cu un risc financiar controlat”, a declarat expertul auto Veronica Negru. Analiza care cupride date la nivel național mai arată că bugetele limitate, costurile tot mai mari de întreținere, inflația și incertitudinile economice determină românii să caute mașini deja depreciate, dar încă fiabile, modele cu istoric verificabil și costuri mici de exploatare, echipări mai bune la același buget față de un autoturism nou, mașini care îndeplinesc aceleași nevoi pentru oameni diferiți: navetă, drumuri mixte, oraș, familie, costuri ținute sub control. Din aceste rațiuni, mașinile marca Volkswagen, Dacia și BMW sunt cele mai căutate de către români. Din totalul de mașini, 27% sunt Volkswagen, ceea ce înseamnă că peste 148.000 de mașini înmatriculate în România sunt această marcă, preponderent modelul Golf. În ceea ce privește mașinile noi, au fost înmatriculate sub un sfert de autoturisme noi din totalul de înmatriculări. Dacia este cea mai cumpărată marcă la această categorie, cu 41.598 de înmatriculări, ceea ce înseamnă 29,29% din totalul mașinilor noi analizate. Cu alte cuvinte, aproape una din trei mașini noi înmatriculate în 2025 a fost Dacia. Ce aleg românii concret: motorizări, tracțiune și modele În ceea ce privește tipul de motorizare, sunt preferate autoturismele diesel. Aproape jumătate (48%) din totalul de mașini înmatriculate în 2025 funcționează cu motorină, cu 262.553 de unități. Pe următorul loc se află motorizarea de tip benzină, cu 128.896 de unități, respectiv 23,50% din total. Modelul hibrid de tip 01 a ajuns la 102.229 unități, adică 18,64%. Mașinile electrice sunt încă un segment mic, cu 13.191 de unități, iar modelele hibrid de tip 02 au înregistrat 15.727 de înmatriculări. GPL-ul rămâne relevant, cu 25.064 de unități, în timp ce alte combinații de combustibili sunt nesemnificative ca volum. La capitolul tracțiune, lucrurile sunt și mai simple. Tracțiunea față domină piața, cu 344.901 mașini, adică 68,87% din total. Este o alegere practică, mai ieftină la întreținere și suficientă pentru majoritatea scenariilor de utilizare zilnică. Top 10 mărci auto preferate de români în 2025 Conform datelor oficiale DRPCIV, analizate de Plus Auto Marketplace, modelele și mărcile de mașini considerate fiabile, rezistente și accesibile domină preferințele de achiziție. „Românii aleg mai atent decât în anii trecuți. Se uită la costuri reale, la fiabilitate, la cât îi va costa mașina pe termen lung și cât de ușor o pot revinde. În acest context, un model ca Volkswagen devine o alegere potrivită pentru foarte mulți cumpărători. În același timp, Dacia rămâne una dintre cele mai importante mărci de pe piața auto din România, confirmându-și statutul de brand național preferat, în special în segmentul mașinilor accesibile și funcționale”, adaugă reprezentantul Plus Auto. Iată ce mărci de mașină au cumpărat românii cel mai des în 2025, conform DRCPIV: 1. Volkswagen: lider detașat al pieței, ales pentru fiabilitate, varietatea de modele și costuri predictibile pe termen lung. Domină atât zona de mașini rulate, cât și o parte importantă din segmentul nou. Volkswagen a ajuns la 26,59% din totalul înmatriculărilor din România. Practic, una din patru mașini înmatriculate în România este Volkswagen. 2. Dacia: marca preferată de cei care caută preț accesibil și costuri mici de întreținere. Foarte puternică pe piața internă, mai ales în orașele mari și în zona de SUV-uri accesibile. 3. BMW: alegerea clienților care pun accent pe performanță și imagine. Vânzările sunt mai concentrate în marile județe și în segmentul de mașini rulate premium. 4. Audi: o marcă apreciată pentru confort și tehnologie, foarte prezentă pe piața second-hand. Atrage cumpărători care vor un plus de rafinament fără a urca spre segmentele de lux extrem. 5. Renault: puternică în zona de mașini de familie și flote. Este aleasă pentru costuri decente și o ofertă variată în segmentul compact și mediu. 6. Mercedes-Benz: reper în zona premium, cu volume mai mici, dar constante. Este preferată de clienți care caută confort, siguranță și statut. 7. Skoda: o marcă apreciată pentru spațiu, fiabilitate și raport bun preț–dotări. Foarte prezentă în segmentul de mașini de familie și flote. 8. Ford: o alegere echilibrată pentru cei care vor o mașină practică, ușor de întreținut. Modelele compacte și break rămân populare în rândul cumpărătorilor atenți la buget. 9. Toyota: cunoscută pentru fiabilitate și pentru oferta de modele hibride. Crește constant, mai ales în orașe, unde consumul redus contează tot mai mult. 10. Opel: prezentă mai ales pe piața de mașini rulate, cu modele accesibile și ușor de exploatat. O opțiune pragmatică pentru utilizare zilnică. Ce mașini preferă românii în funcție de județ Volkswagen este cea mai înmatriculată mașină în România, preferată în peste 70% dintre județele din țară, mai exact în 30 de județe. Dacia predomină în 8 unități administrative, printre care și București. • Volkswagen Golf: Alba, Arad, Bacău, Bistrița, Botoșani, Caraș-Severin, Cluj, Covasna, Dâmbovița, Giurgiu, Gorj, Ialomița, Iași, Mehedinți, Mureș, Neamț, Olt, Prahova, Satu Mare, Sibiu, Suceava, Timiș, Tulcea, Vaslui, Vâlcea și Vrancea • Volkswagen Passat: Constanța, Galați, Sălaj și Teleorman • Dacia Logan: Argeș și Călărași • Dacia Duster: Brăila, Harghita, Hunedoara, Ilfov, Maramureș și București • BMW: Dolj - preferat în special modelul BMW 320D „Analizând preferințele de modele, putem oberva anumite tipare: Volkswagen Golf domină acolo unde lumea vrea echilibru, Passat acolo unde contează spațiul și confortul, iar Dacia Logan și Duster sunt o alegere care rămâne puternică acolo unde primează partea practică, nu dotările sau imaginea, ci unde costul total cât mai mic și întreținere ușoară. În București și Ilfov se vede tendința spre SUV de oraș, cu poziție mai înaltă la condus și o senzație de siguranță. În județele cu drumuri mai variate, Dacia Duster câștigă prin versatilitate, fără să ducă bugetul în zona premium. Acolo unde este preferat BMW, există o cerere reală pentru premium rulat, iar oamenii sunt dispuși să meargă pe performanță și confort, chiar dacă întreținerea poate fi mai scumpă”, a explicat Veronica Negru. Segmentul mașinilor electrice continuă să crească, iar datele DRPCIV arată o competiție tot mai clară între Tesla și BYD. Analiza Plus Auto evidențiază diferențele de adopție dintre cele două mărci și modul în care românii se raportează la electromobilitate în 2025. Vezi articolul complet

Piața auto din România continuă să fie orientată către modele accesibile, cu costuri reduse de întreținere și eficiență pe termen lung. Datele oficiale arată că, în ciuda creșterii interesului pentru mașini noi, majoritatea șoferilor preferă în continuare autoturismele rulate. Bucureștenii preferă SUV-urile. FOTO arhivă Adevărul În 2025 Volkswagen a fost cea mai înmatriculată marcă din România, potrivit Știrilor ProTv. Volkswagen, marca preferată în 30 de județe Din cele 548.612 autoturisme înscrise în circulație în România anul trecut, aproape 71,5% au fost mașini second-hand, iar aproape 27% dintre acestea au purtat sigla producătorului german. Golf și Passat rămân modelele favorite ale românilor. Golf domină în județele Cluj, Iași, Timiș sau Prahova, în timp ce Passat este ales preponderent în Constanța și Galați. Popularitatea lor se explică prin costurile reduse de întreținere și disponibilitatea pieselor. SUV‑urile câștigă teren în Capitală În București și Ilfov, tendința este evidentă: șoferii se îndreaptă tot mai mult către SUV-uri. Dacia Duster este modelul preferat, datorită poziției înalte la volan, vizibilității bune în trafic și capacității de a face față provocărilor urbane, cât și drumurilor mai dificile. Mașinile premium rulate, la mare căutare în Dolj Dacă în Capitală domină SUV-urile, în județul Dolj preferințele se orientează către segmentul premium. BMW este marca cea mai înmatriculată. „Am avut și Audi, și Mercedes, dar pe asta am găsit-o la preț bun, calitate bună, made in Germany”, și-a explicat un șofer alegerea. Un altul privește lucrurile mai pragmatic: „Sunt mașini bune, dar neîntreținute la timp consumă bani. Eu cred că e mai mult fiță, de aceea o voi schimba.” Mulți români caută echilibrul între preț și costurile de întreținere Specialiștii din industrie confirmă că decizia de cumpărare este tot mai calculată. Românii caută un echilibru între prețul de achiziție și costurile ulterioare, spune Veronica Negru, director de marketing al unei platforme auto online, pentru Știrile ProTV: „Contează accesibilitatea pieselor, a service-urilor și deprecierea mașinii. Oamenii sunt tot mai atenți la cum investesc banii”. Dieselul, regele șoselelor din România În ceea ce privește motorizările, dieselul continuă să domine, urmat de benzină și hibride. Mașinile electrice rămân încă o minoritate, în ciuda creșterii infrastructurii de încărcare. Când vine vorba de tracțiune, majoritatea șoferilor aleg tracțiunea față, o soluție mai ieftină și suficientă pentru oraș și drumurile obișnuite. Vezi articolul complet

Call of Duty®: Warzone™: Content CALL OF DUTY: WARZONE SUMMARY (PART 1) Rebirth Island Winter Refresh: Season 02 opens on a snow-covered Rebirth Island now under Guild control. New structures, including the Turbine point of interest, along with terrain and layout changes tied to expanded faction operations, reshape familiar routes and introduce new areas of focused combat across the island. Rebirth Island Gameplay Features: Seasonal gameplay updates layer new mechanics onto Rebirth Island, including visible footprints in deep snow, Dynamic Infil Events such as gas explosions, a Snowstorm Gas Circle, classic Blueprint weapon loot hidden across the map, a Smoke Screen Killstreak, and refined vehicle routes that support faster rotations and aggressive play. Modes, Playlists, and Ranked Play: Resurgence: Season 02 delivers a full lineup of Call of Duty: Warzone modes across Verdansk, Haven’s Hollow, and Rebirth Island, including the launch of Ranked Play: Resurgence. Compete in Trios on Haven’s Hollow under a refined, CDL-inspired ruleset to climb Skill Divisions and earn exclusive rewards. Limited-Time Modes and Competitive Experiments: Multiple LTMs arrive throughout the season, including Loaded Resurgence, Rush Resurgence, Extreme Resurgence, and a special Iron Gauntlet Beta. These modes accelerate pacing, increase player counts, or introduce high-stakes competitive rulesets designed to test skill, decision-making, and adaptability. Perks, Killstreaks, and In-Season Systems: Season 02 refreshes the Perk system with new Slot 1 options at launch as well as new Killstreaks. Mid-season introduces a brand-new Battle Royale experience and the arrival of the Avalon map in Call of Duty: Warzone. Map Update: Rebirth Island Winter Refresh (Launch) Season 02 of Call of Duty: Warzone™ begins with a snow-covered Rebirth Island winter refresh. It’s a cold, crisp day and you can almost feel the wind chill your bones. The island now appears to be under Guild control, and NOVA 7 production has necessitated the processing and refining of vast quantities of sulfuric chemicals resulting in new structures and topographical changes, a number of \[CLASSIFIED], and more surprises to discover. New Point of Interest: Turbine A large-scale Turbine along the north shore of the island has been developed by Guild forces, west of Industries, east of Dock, and due north from Prison. Offering enhanced rotational possibilities for the Operator, the exterior platforms and concrete bay house a large sulfur vat and a wall of “NOVA 7” canisters. Access the door controls and enter a small, windowless control room under the vat. Move further along the gantry to access the main area; a gantry-connected building with a roughly hexagonal Sulfur Extraction chamber inside the island itself. Dominated by a massive central turbine, there are plenty of entrances and exits at various heights to ensure this is a well-traversed area. The previous waterlogged bunker has been filled in as the Guild’s sulfur extracting becomes this faction’s major focus. Unmarked POI: Outpost Enhanced loot, combat, and traversal opportunities are available in this unmarked point of interest that lies east of Stronghold, and southwest of Living Quarters. Previously a rough hillside promontory with difficult-to-navigate and exposed pathways, you can now seek additional cover at the jetty with three docking bays. Further up the slope is a raised cargo bay, and a SAM battery; either side of the Outpost itself. This Comms edifice with a prototype laser cannon and radar dish offers robust protection and sits above a locked bunker. Rebirth Island: Other Points of Interest The rest of Rebirth Island is just as you remember it, though snow has drifted across the ground, and sightlines have improved somewhat. Here’s what to look for: Stronghold: The southwestern tip of the map contains a helipad, maintenance warehouses, garage and comms tower, and are all intact and where you’d expect them to be. Expect high traffic to the southeast at the new unmarked jetty and Outpost (detailed above). Living Quarters: There are additional exit routes across from the tents, medical huts, and the five color-coded personnel buildings have been renovated by the Guild to improve visibility for the player. A small Guild Outpost allows for easy traversing between here and the Stronghold POI. Operators should expect increased activity in the vicinity. Control Center: Everyone’s favorite landing spot remains intact. This old, concrete edifice offers even clearer and crisp sightlines across to Prison and Living Quarters, or down to Stronghold and Dock. Headquarters: The trio of highly tactical buildings (including “Grandma’s House”, the ruined communications building 03, and the “lighthouse” sniping tower) remain intact, unless of course, the tower falls during the initial infil. Factory: The Guild container ship “Endeavour” has docked at Factory, a sprawling Guild-branded facility across from the snow-lined dockside and outbuildings, with the cargo area filled with Guild crates as the faction continues to secure the island. Harbor: The turbine generator room (number 6) and dilapidated mechanical warehouse remain in the same shape as you remember them, though the ocean waters are freezing and the exterior dockside is windswept with snow. Prison: The interlocking rabbit-warren of corridors, imposing cellblocks, exterior steps and ascenders, and the surrounding vicinity remains unchanged (aside for some reasonable sightlines to Turbine), and there’s still a chance an aerial bombardment demolishes the prison roof or water tower at the start of a match. But have all the prison’s secrets been revealed? Dock: Another place to secure a Helicopter, The Aurora cargo ship is docked here, with Guild containers atop the deck and in the hold. Otherwise, this remains a low flanking route along the northwest side of the map. Industries: Aside from some minor Guild equipment and rebranding along the main structure, this is just how you remember it, though long-range target acquisition is now available from the roof or helicopter promontory when aiming at enemies around the new Turbine location. Chemical Engineering: Changes across this building can be considered minimal, though the top of the pitched roof allows for long-distance sniping to the upper exterior of the Turbine. Bioweapons: Guild equipment has been positioned into this L-shaped building at the northeast end of the map, and each floor except the basement has been renovated by the Guild. It seems organic laboratory trials are under way. The flat roof has been given a fresh sealing, and the submarine docked to the north has departed. Rebirth Island: Gameplay Features and Updates A snow-covered Rebirth Island the familiar combat action you previously dropped into the map for, along with the following refinements and returning features: · Footprints in the Snow: In certain locations, deeper snow compacts under foot, meaning you can track player footfalls visually. · Enhanced Target Acquisition: Expect better and cleaner lines of sight for multiple reasons: o Snow: The layers of fallen snow allow you to focus on spotting enemies more easily. o Guild Renovations: Around five of the familiar POIs have been renovated by the Guild, and are architecturally more modern, brighter, and clearer. o Adjusted Lighting: A lack atmospheric fog across the entire island allows for some of the cleanest sightlines you’ve seen with the sun at the same angle as when the map first debuted in Black Ops Cold War. · Vehicular Routes: With the addition of snow jumps designed for vehicles, you’re more easily able to maneuver from one road to another. Dynamic Infil Events Continue: Just as before, the island comes under attack as you drop into a match, with the possibility of the Water Tower, Prison roof, or Lighthouse collapsing after an aerial missile barrage. Dynamic Infil Event: Infil Gas Explosions: Drop into Rebirth Island with your head on a swivel; a gas bomb may detonate at one of various locations, creating a spherical pocket of acrid gas that act as a choking hazard before dissipating as a match progresses. Classic Blueprints (Hidden): Search the island for some hard-hitting and familiar Weapon Blueprints from past Call of Duty titles to use in the match! · Dotted around the island are a \[CLASSIFIED] number of past weapon Blueprints familiar to Call of Duty: Warzone fans, each cunningly stowed away. · Finding and picking up the weapon does not unlock it in your weapon collection; you can only use it for the remainder of the match. · These staged weapons are relevant to their map location, and are fan-favorite armaments from previous titles, and may come with any associated Tracers and Death Effects. · Expect weapons from Modern Warfare® 2, Modern Warfare 3, and Black Ops 6. Snowstorm Gas: The weather is about to take a turn for the worse during your Rebirth Island Winter matches as a dangerous snowstorm gradually swallows the island in poisonous, intense blizzard-like conditions. These act like a normal Circle Collapse, and Gas Masks, Decontamination Stations, and the Irradiated Perk (assuming these are active in your game mode) are all recommended if you’re caught near the vicinity. Vehicles: Expect a similar pool of vehicles across Rebirth Island compared to previous battles, along with the TAV and RHIB for aquatic activities. Note the two land-based Polaris vehicles benefit from new topographical snow ramps dotted across the island, allowing easier navigation to the road structure. Here are the expected vehicles: · Tactical Amphibious Vehicle (TAV) · Polaris Sportsman XP 1000 (ATV) · Polaris RZR Pro R 4 (UTV) · RHIB (Rigid-Hulled Inflatable Boat) · Heli New Killstreak: RC-XD: The Black Ops 7 Scorestreak comes to Rebirth Island as available loot and performs in a similar way to its Multiplayer counterpart. Drop the vehicle and steer it to an intended target, using jumps and boosts to traverse the environment before delivering an explosive payload to the enemy. Immune to gas, but not to damage from enemy weaponry or Killstreaks. New Killstreak: Smoke Screen: Smoke Screens are found as loot and purchased at Buy Stations, and when called in expect a single payload of five shells that detonate into smoke clouds in a slightly offset row, with each cloud lasting a few seconds, much like a smoke grenade, though it doesn’t impact your health. Redacted Contracts (Launch) Rebirth Island only Begin a Redacted Contract without knowing the objectives by seeking out a specially marked Tablet with a “?” icon. Once started, a random objective is given, though players with experience completing a Bounty, Scavenger, or Recon Contract will know what to expect. The reward for taking a chance on a Redacted Contract is the usual reward, plus bonus in-match cash. New Perks (Launch) New Perks: Slot 1 Perk RefreshSeason 02 introduces a refresh to the Slot 1 Perk category, replacing several existing Perks with three new options designed to emphasize survivability, squad movement, combat awareness, and supports a distinct playstyle. Here are the Perks for Season 02 Launch: Field Medic (Launch, Slot 1) Replaces Veteran Resistance-Enhancing Perk: Field Medic is built for players who thrive in high-pressure engagements and clutch revives. Reviving teammates is faster and more impactful, restoring momentum when it matters most. When you revive an ally, they immediately receive an inserted armor plate from their inventory and a brief movement speed boost to help them reposition. The same benefits apply when you’re revived, giving both of you a better chance to stay alive and rejoin the fight. Beyond revives, Field Medic increases your bleed-out duration, giving your squad more time to bring you back, and provides resistance to several tactical effects, including Flash, Concussion, Gas, and Shock equipment. It’s a strong choice for a Squadmate in an aggressive squad that expects to trade downs and push through chaos. Drill Instructor (Launch, Slot 1) Replaces Grenadier Agility-Enhancing Perk: Drill Instructor rewards constant movement and tight squad positioning. After sprinting for a short duration, you’ll begin regenerating health, allowing you to stay mobile without a reliance on cover. In addition, nearby allies gain movement speed and faster mantling, helping squads reposition quickly, scale terrain more efficiently, and maintain pressure during rotations or engagements. These bonuses apply to allies within proximity and briefly persist after they move out of range, encouraging coordinated movement without requiring perfect formation. Drill Instructor effects do not stack, reinforcing its role as a single leadership-focused Perk within a squad. Surveyor (Launch, Slot 1) Replaces Cold-Blooded Awareness-Enhancing Perk: Surveyor enhances situational awareness. When nearby opponents interact with Buy Stations or activate Contracts, they briefly appear on the map, offering insight into enemy positioning and intent. UAVs you deploy cover a larger area and your mini-map is zoomed out, always giving you a broader view of the area of operations. Surveyor also highlights downed enemies through walls within closer range, making it easier to track threats during multi-squad fights and prevent unexpected revives. This Perk is ideal for players who value information, positioning, and anticipating enemy movement before engagements begin. New Modes and Updates (Launch, In-Season) Core ModesFrom the launch of Season 02, you can expect a familiar variety of Call of Duty: Warzone modes across three maps: Verdansk, Haven’s Hollow, and Rebirth Island (with its Winter update). Drop into the following Core Modes: Battle Royale (150 Players, 25 Minute-matches): Quads, Trios, Duos, and Solos on Verdansk. Resurgence (44 Players, 15 Minute-matches): Quads, Duos, and Solos on Haven’s Hollow and Rebirth Island. Casuals (Players and Bots): Quads. Battle Royale Casual on Verdansk. Resurgence Casual on Haven’s Hollow and Rebirth Island. Be sure to check your Socials and Raven Software’s Comms for weekly playlists and updates to Modes as Season 02 progresses! New Core Mode: Ranked Play: Resurgence (Launch Window)Trios, Haven’s Hollow Rank up and prove your prowess as Ranked Play: Resurgence returns! This competitive game mode features skilled Trios dropping into Haven’s Hollow to prove their mettle: Compete in high-stakes, fast-paced matches built around a refined ruleset, with weapons restricted to those found in Black Ops 7, as well as some Perk and Attachment restrictions. Battle to increase your Skill Rating, earn exclusive rewards, and climb the Skill Divisions on your path toward the top. How to Play and SR Requirements In Resurgence Ranked Play, you’ll compete against players in similar Skill Divisions as you battle to earn Skill Rating (SR). SR is awarded for outlasting other squads, eliminating opponents, and completing in-match challenges with eliminations contributing to your entire squad’s SR total. The amount of SR earned from eliminations adjusts based on the division of the opponent you defeat, increasing when taking down higher-ranked players and decreasing against lower-ranked ones, with a maximum of 150 SR available per match. Starting in Silver, each match also carries a Deployment Fee, deducted at the beginning of the game.

These include five Tiers of Eliminations (100 SR per Elimination), and placing in the Top 20, Top 10, and Top 5 (100 SR each). Win a Match and receive 200 SR. Loadout Restrictions Ranked Play Call of Duty: Warzone rules are in effect, limiting the choice of Loadouts you can access in a Ranked Play Resurgence match. A triangular warning symbol denotes which items in your Loadouts cannot be equipped. Here are some general rules: · BO7 Only: Ranked Play Resurgence allows for Black Ops 7 weaponry only. · Two Weapons: Your Loadout consists of two weapons: These can be two Primary Weapons, one Primary and one Secondary, or two Secondaries if you’re a maniac. · Melee, Tactical, Lethal: You have a Melee weapon slot, along with a Tactical and Lethal. · Perks: You have three Perk slots, and no Wildcard. Specific restrictions are in effect for each aspect of your Loadout, as follows: · Weapons: There are restrictions on Optics (usually those with Thermals or other enemy-detecting capabilities), and Assault Rifle Underbarrels (Launchers with explosive or otherwise-damaging charges, though Smoke is good to use), depending on the weapon in question. · Tacticals: The following are available: Concussion, Smoke, Psych, Decoy, Stim Shot, and Heartbeat Sensor. · Lethals: The following are available: Frag, Sticky, C4, Molotov, Combat Axe. · Perks: Two Perks are restricted: Alertness (Perk 2) and Tracker (Perk 3). Ranked Play Security Requirements When Ranked Play launches in Season 02, RICOCHET Anti-Cheat will require a stronger form of Remote Attestation for PC players, in partnership with Microsoft. This extra layer of protection sets a new standard for Ranked Play, building on our existing TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot requirements.

Additional Modes (Launch, In-Season, Mid-Season) Loaded Resurgence (Launch) and Loaded Resurgence Casual (In-Season), LTMRebirth Island, Quads, 32 Players (8 Squads) Loaded Resurgence is a fast-paced variation on the classic Resurgence experience that drops players into the action fully Loadout-equipped from the start. Core Resurgence rules still apply — as long as one squadmate remains alive, fallen teammates can redeploy after a short countdown — but the immediate access to full loadouts accelerates engagements and rewards aggressive, coordinated play. There’s also a new way to earn all the Perks, if you complete the Specialist Quest!· Every time players eliminate an opponent, they earn an extra Perk, up the point where Specialist is awarded.· This Perk accumulation continues even if you’re eliminated!Expect a higher-intensity Resurgence variant prioritizing momentum, mastery, and constant pressure. Drop in at launch, and with Bot opponents as well as real humans later in Season 02. Rush Resurgence (Weekend LTM, In-Season)Rebirth Island, Quads, 32 Players (8 Squads) Ready for a quick drop? Rush Resurgence brings all the chaos of a fast-moving move, but in an even more rapid form: · Redeploy timing is reduced — allowing you back into the action with more haste — and disabled at the third Gas Circle. · There’s a Fire Sale Public Event at the second Gas Circle. · There are the same number of Gas Circles, but these close with a different timing: o They remain stationary for less time than normal (for example, the first Circle closes after around 45 seconds). o They take longer to close (for example, the first Circle takes two minutes to close). · This leads to matches ending in around half the time compared to normal Resurgence. Extreme Resurgence (Weekend LTM, Mid-Season)Haven’s Hollow, Quads, 100 Players (25 Squads) Simply put: Mayhem. All the usual Resurgence rules apply as you drop into Haven’s Hollow with regular loot, Gas Circle activity, Contracts, and Public Events intact, but there’s one important different: A massive influx of Operatives: Instead of the usual 52 Operators (13 Squads), expect double the number to drop in; 25 Squads and 100 total players ready to battle for ultimate supremacy! Iron Gauntlet Beta (In-Season, Mid-Season)Verdansk, Duos, 150 Players (75 Squads) Drop into Verdansk late in Mid-Season with heightened intensity and competitive Battle Royale ruleset designed to test your gun skill, positioning, and decision-making, rather than luck. You’ll need an iron will and a trusted squadmate to survival these trials…. · Scarce resources: This is a high-stakes drop in a survival-focused environment where every decision counts. · Competitive Duos: The last squad standing wins. · Rapid Collapse: Circles collapse more rapidly than normal BR, leading to more frequent engagements. · Earn that loot: There are no free Loadout drops and Buy Station prices are increased. · Don’t rely on a ride: Only Bikes and ATVs are available. · TTK Delay: Base health has been raised (from 150 to 300 units). Regeneration delay has been adjusted, and regeneration rate has been reduced; all designed to slow down TTK. · Loot rebalancing: Epic and Legendary weapons spawn less often, and Killstreaks as well as Cash drops are rarer. Weapons are from the Black Ops 7 pool. Common weapons usually start with extended mags and iron sights (primarily for ARs and SMGs). There are no Perks in loot. · Tough But Fair: One-hit kill protection is enabled. Stim shot has been removed. · Returning Mechanics: The Gulag, Contracts, and respawn mechanics are the same as the main Call of Duty: Warzone Battle Royale mode. Note: Iron Gauntlet will be in Beta at launch: This is the first playable iteration of a Mode we will continue to refine before it returns in a later Season with updates based on your feedback. This Mode is also planned to form the basis for an expansive new aspect of the game! Play this mode, and let us know how you’re liking the loot, game economy, TTK, and other elements that interest you.

Weapons Detail Primary Weapon: REV-46 (Launch) SMG, Battle Pass Page 3 HVT, Page 11 HVT Battle Pass and BlackCell Blueprint Levels: 34 MAGS: 4 MAG SIZE: 35 Mastery Badges: Yes Attachments: Optic, Muzzle, Barrel, Underbarrel, Magazine, Rear Grip, Stock, Laser, Fire Mods Customize Options: Blueprints, Camos and Reticle Unlocks (CM, MP, ZM, WZ), Accessories (1), Decals (1), Stickers (3). Full-auto submachine gun. Extremely fast fire rate. Switch between a folded and unfolded stock position to change handling and recoil characteristics. Sporting the highest fire rate in its class at a blazing fast 1,111 rpm, the REV-46 is flexible both literally and figuratively, with a stock you can fold and unfold. This is an excellent hit-and-run companion weapon when the stock is folded, and offers impressive recoil control, supporting accurate fire off the hip and down sights, with the stock unfolded. The weapon’s foldable stock makes the REV-46 extremely versatile, allowing you to alter its characteristics to best match your environment. Its advantages are balanced out by a lower damage output. Aim in, make your shots count, and take them out. Prestige Attachment Stock > MFS Reforge Flip Stock Deployed stock provides a massive improvement to movement speed when aiming for unparalleled strafing potential. Impacts sprint to fire and recoil but no longer slows ADS or mobility. Camos Confirmed: Weapon Prestige > REV-46 The Universal Weapon Prestige Camos for the REV-46 (above): Prestige 1: “Jagged.” Prestige 2: “Leaf.” Prestige Max: “Rosette” (Animated). Primary Weapon: EGRT-17 (Launch) Assault Rifle, Battle Pass Page 6 HVT, Page 14 HVT Tier Battle Pass and BlackCell Blueprint Levels: 41 MAGS: 3 MAG SIZE: 34 Mastery Badges: Yes Attachments: Optic, Muzzle, Barrel, Underbarrel, Magazine, Rear Grip, Stock, Laser, Fire Mods Customize Options: Blueprints, Camo and Reticle Unlocks (CM, MP, ZM, WZ), Accessories (1), Decals (1), Stickers (3). Full-auto assault rifle. Fires superheated rounds that ricochet off solid surfaces. Second only to the Peacekeeper MK1 in fire rate, the EGRT-17 Assault Rifle rapidly outputs rounds, dealing impressive damage to the body and head, with the added feature of ricocheting rounds to catch enemy targets in the rebound. Despite its high fire rate, the EGRT-17 offers highly accurate recoil control, offset by a slower reload time. For Operators looking to down enemies with quick, accurate fire, this is one to take to the range. Prestige Attachment Fire Mods > MFS Heated Echo Rounds Heated energy ammo that bounces more effectively against surfaces. Most effective when firing on the ground in front of the target. Camos Confirmed: Weapon Prestige > EGRT-17 The Universal Weapon Prestige Camos for the EGRT-17 (above): Prestige 1: “Retro.” Prestige 2: “Brick.” Prestige Max: “Void Stripe” (Animated). Melee Weapon: H311-SAW (Launch) Melee, Battle Pass Page 10 Levels: 30 Mastery Badges: Yes Attachments: None Customize Options: Blueprints. Melee weapon. High damage, moderate to long range, and slow to moderate attack speed. Hack up the competition with a rotating saw that makes short work of enemies. The H311-SAW shares a similar damage profile as the Knife and Flatline Mk.II, but with a longer reach and a slightly slower attack speed, and the results are messier. Take hold of the deadly weapon and slice your way to victory. Camos Confirmed: Weapon Prestige > H311-SAW The Universal Weapon Prestige Camos for the H311-SAW (above): Prestige 1: “Swamp.” Prestige 2: “High Voltage” (Animated, First Seen in Black Ops 4), Prestige Max: “Tasty.” Special Weapon: GDL Havoc (Launch) Special, Weekly Challenge Reward Levels: 30 MAGS: 7 MAG SIZE: 4 Mastery Badges: Yes Attachments: Magazine, Rear Grip Customize Options: Blueprints, Camo Unlocks (MP, ZM, WZ), Accessories (1), Decals (1), Stickers (3). Pump-action grenade launcher. Grenades stick to solid surfaces and can be remote detonated. No ADS. Enjoy the look on the enemy’s faces as you fire flashing sticky grenades that latch onto the first solid surface they encounter. Shoot volleys of them at enemy targets, use them as traps on the ground and walls, and pull the trigger to set them off. Prestige Attachment Magazine > MFS Airstrike Mag Improves offensive abilities through a modified projectile that travels faster, can bounce off surfaces, and can be detonated sooner. An increased inner damage radius improves the chance to deal max damage to nearby targets. Camos Confirmed: Weapon Prestige > GDL Havoc The Universal Weapon Prestige Camos for the GDL Havoc (above): Prestige 1: “Textile.” Prestige 2: “Navy.” Prestige Max: “Flamingo” (Animated). Primary Weapon: SG-12 (In-Season) Shotgun, Escalation Directive Event Mastery Reward Levels: 38 MAGS: 4 MAG SIZE: 8 Mastery Badges: Yes Attachments: Optic, Muzzle, Barrel, Underbarrel, Magazine, Rear Grip, Stock, Laser, Fire Mods Customize Options: Blueprints, Camos and Reticle Unlocks (CM, MP, ZM, WZ), Accessories (1), Decals (1), Stickers (3). Semi-auto shotgun. Well-rounded for mid-range performance. Unleash on enemy Operators with the SG-12, offering a much higher fire rate compared to the other currently available semi-auto Shotguns in addition to providing the longest effective damage range in its class. With eight rounds in the magazine, you can pepper foes with rapid successive shots, balanced by a lower overall damage output compared to the other Shotguns. Prestige Attachment Laser > MFS Pulse Fire Taclight Dedicated flashlight that improves firepower through the addition of binary trigger firing functionality and tactical stance at the expense of damage range. Flashlight is visible in ADS. Camos Confirmed: Weapon Prestige > SG-12 The Universal Weapon Prestige Camos for the SG-12 (above): Prestige 1: “Chrysalis” (First seen in Black Ops 4). Prestige 2: “Rocket Box.” Prestige Max: “Shimmer” (First seen in Black Ops 4). Primary Weapon: Voyak KT-3 (Mid-Season) Assault Rifle, Event Reward Levels: 42 MAGS: 3 MAG SIZE: 30 Mastery Badges: Yes Attachments: Optic, Muzzle, Barrel, Underbarrel, Magazine, Rear Grip, Stock, Laser, Fire Mods Customize Options: Blueprints, Camos and Reticle Unlocks (CM, MP, ZM, WZ), Accessories (1), Decals (1), Stickers (3). Full-auto assault rifle. High damage and excellent handling, with slower fire rate and moderate to high recoil. Expect a full reveal at Season 02 Reloaded. Expect an impressive Assault Rifle with characteristics that aren’t too dissimilar to the AK-27, but with a slightly slower rate of fire, and a shorter range. However, the Voyak KT-3 also shares some advantageous attributes with the Peacekeeper AR, offering a similar level of fast handling and mobility. Prestige Attachment Laser > MFS Anti-Dispersion Module The combat benefits of this Attachment have been deemed \[CLASSIFIED]. Camos Confirmed: Weapon Prestige > Voyak KT-3 The Universal Weapon Prestige Camos for the Voyak KT-3 (above): Prestige 1: “Splatter” (First seen in Black Ops 4). Prestige 2: “Chevrons.” Prestige Max: “Potion” (Animated).

Fast cyclic fire rate and minimal recoil, but slower mobility and handling. When it comes to recoil control, no other Marksman Rifle comes close to the Swordfish A1, a deadly accurate weapon that fires rapid quad bursts that stay on target inflicting punishing damage on enemies hit by all four rounds. It beats out the comparable M8A1 for overall damage output at the cost of a longer burst delay and slower mobility. Prestige Attachment Fire Mods > MFS Penta Burst Mod The combat benefits of this Attachment have been deemed \[CLASSIFIED]. Camos Confirmed: Weapon Prestige > Swordfish A1 The Universal Weapon Prestige Camos for the Swordfish A1 (above): Prestige 1: “Juiced” (First seen in Black Ops 4). Prestige 2: “Arabesque” (First seen in Black Ops 4). Prestige Max: “Arsenal” (Animated).

M1 Assault Frame Top mounted control system that shortens both the charge time and cooldown to support aggressive use against enemy personnel. Increases explosion radius and provides improvements to both mobility and handling. Razor 9mm Wildfire Conversion (In-Season) Razor 9mm SMG, Weekly Challenge Reward Attachment > Fire Mods > Extreme Rapid Fire Conversion kit offering a massive improvement to both fire rate and bullet velocity and a larger magazine. Adds spread to ADS and impacts movement speed when firing. Echo 12 Backlash Launcher Kit (Mid-Season) Echo 12 Shotgun, Event Reward Attachment > Fire Mods > Grenade Launcher Conversion Conversion to support the firing of fast-moving explosive projectiles that can bounce off surfaces. Explosive damage is increased if detonation occurs after bouncing.

New Threats Rise: Black Ops Season 02 is Here! The Story So Far The Guild may be down, but it’s not out. Alden Dorne has a secret weapon and a key ally: neural scientist Victoria Atwood. The ruthless and ambitious Atwood leads The Guild’s technology branch, and her leadership spearheading the company’s most clandestine research programs is about to yield dividends. After capturing David Mason for Project Synapse, Dorne works closely with Atwood, using Mason’s mind to try and recreate the technology behind C-Link. Why invoke fear when you can control all emotions? Season 02 Roadmap The Season 02 Roadmap. Please note that due to the colossal content drops across the entire season, not all Season 02 Reloaded content is shown. Gear up and focus in as the battle escalates with an incredible amount of free and premium content, starting when Call of Duty®: Black Ops 7 Season 02 launches on Thursday, February 5 at 9AM PT across all platforms. Black Ops 7: Endgame Content ENDGAME CONTENT SUMMARY Guild Strikes: Alden Dorne unleashes hell across Avalon in a last-ditch effort to eradicate the JSOC teams. Surprise strikes may occur throughout Avalon, transforming a location into a Nightmare Zone, ensuring no match is the same. These zones have increased difficulty and a Strike Boss that can be defeated for high-tier rewards. New Skill Track and Abilities: Season 02 introduces the Eagle Eye Skill Track, focused on precision, critical damage, and weapon efficiency. Mid-Season, players can unlock two new Abilities — Sentinel Protocol and Blood Burner — adding powerful support and traversal options to Endgame Operator loadouts. Glitches (Mid-Season): After defeating a Strike Boss, a Glitch will appear: a mysterious, repeatable, off-map experience where you and up to three others need to survive six waves and defeat the Glitch boss to acquire Nightmare Skills. Guild Strikes and Nightmare Zones (Launch) Guild Strikes can trigger at any moment during a match, as Alden Dorne detonates hidden Cradle stockpiles across Avalon. When a Strike hits, the affected location becomes a Nightmare Zone, a high‑intensity hotspot featuring extreme challenges more difficult and dangerous than a current Tier IV area. In Nightmare Zones, standard activities shut down and enemy difficulty spikes. Find yourself in a Nightmare Zone, and aside from staying alive, you have one overriding objective: hunt down and defeat the Strike Boss. Expect heavier resistance, aggressive enemy waves, and experimental Guild constructs pushing to keep you out. Nightmare Zones remain active for the rest of the match, offering a fast, high‑risk, high‑reward challenge for squads willing to push into the most dangerous of Guild territory. Expect additional activities to complete, along with impressive rewards that make the danger of a Nightmare Zone well worth the risk! Power Nodes (Launch)As you level up your Operator's Combat Rating, be sure to keep an eye out for these special cube-like devices hidden across Avalon. Secure one and gain bonus Power to assist in your Combat Rating leveling. New Eagle Eye Skill Track and Abilities Secure precise takedowns by accessing the new Eagle Eye Skill Track, then secure the new Sentinel Protocol and Blood Burner Abilities. Skill Track: Eagle Eye (Launch) Sharpen focus for deadly precision, amplify critical hits, and make every shot count. · Increased Crit Damage: Critical hits deal more damage. · Big Hit: Increases Critical Damage dealt to full health enemies. · Last Shots Plus: Deal more damage when your weapon is low on ammo. · Rampage: Getting rapid kills briefly increases weapon damage with that weapon. · Aim Faster: Aim down sights faster. · Armor Breaker: Stun and damage enemies when breaking enemy armor. New Abilities (Launch) Once unlocked, you can access these in the Operator Slot Loadout where you choose your Operator and both Abilities. Sentinel Protocol (Major Ability) Call in a modified Guild robot to fight your enemies and assist your team. Can revive you and your teammates when downed and inflict a small area of effect attack when swarmed. For those requiring additional robotic support personnel to aid in Avalon infiltrations, Sentinel Protocol provides an additional, temporary ally. This G-R5 Guild robot has been reprogrammed and offers ranged combat, a close combat pulse attack, and can revive you and teammates when downed. This can be useful when clearing out enemy strongholds or Exfil sites at lower player levels where one wrong firefight can jeopardize your Exfil. Blood Burner (Minor Ability) Spawn a mysterious motorcycle good for traversal and combat. Running over enemies charges a special area of effect attack. Summon an armored bike that not only allows rapid deployment across Avalon but can be used in combat engagements. The Blood Burner can only be ridden by the summoner, though other Operators can be passengers. Dismount, and the bike disappears. The Blood Burner isn’t damaged by enemies or obstacle collisions, can cross water, and can emit a massive energy pulse that can floor multiple foes in its area of effect! Glitches (Mid-Season) Mid‑Season, Guild activity spikes across Avalon. Strike Bosses continue to appear during matches via Guild Strikes in Nightmare Zones, but the real challenge begins once you bring one down. Defeating a Strike Boss can trigger a Glitch, a rare off‑map event that pulls you and up to three squadmates into broken, corrupted C‑Link data. Inside, your squad must survive multiple escalating waves and defeat the Glitch Boss to earn powerful Nightmare Skills. Glitches are rare, unpredictable, and always high stakes, the kind of moment squads won’t want to miss. They may also appear outside of Strike Boss combat, providing certain \[CLASSIFIED] conditions are met. Exotic Fabricator (Mid-Season) The Exotic Fabricator will allow players to upgrade any Loadout or Field Acquisition weapon to a full Exotic Weapon. · The first upgrade will upgrade a weapon to Exotic Rarity and damage. · The second upgrade will provide an additional \[CLASSIFIED] bonus. · The third upgrade will provide a random Exotic Effect. If you have fully upgraded a weapon to Exotic or have a named Exotic Weapon you may choose to re-roll either the Bonus Utility or the Exotic Effect. The Exotic Fabricator is a reward for defeating a Strike Boss and may also appear in other Nightmare Zones. The Exotic Fabricator can be used once, so choose wisely.

Black Ops 7: Multiplayer Content MULTIPLAYER CONTENT SUMMARY Multiplayer Maps: The Multiplayer map pool expands with a huge selection of brand-new and returning favorites. Launch maps include Torment, Sake, Nexus, and the remastered Slums, while the Mid-Season adds Torque, Cliff Town (a reimagined Yemen), Mission: Peak, and the return of Grind and Firing Range. Multiplayer Modes: A wide lineup of modes arrives throughout the season, led by returning favorites like Safeguard and Overdrive. In-Season additions include limited-time modes such as Luck Confirmed, Solo Hearts Moshpit, and Third Wheel Gunfight, with Gauntlet and Infected coming Mid-Season. Black Ops 7 Ranked Play: Ranked Play returns as the definitive competitive experience for Black Ops 7, launching with the same rules, modes, maps, and Loadout restrictions as the CDL. Win 3 Placement Matches to receive a starting Rank and then earn SR (Skill Rating) after matches to progress your Rank. Unlock Ranked Play rewards such as Rank Skins, Rank Camos, Blueprints, and more by climbing the Ranks and racking up wins. Competitive integrity features keep matches fair and competitive. New Scorestreak and Multiplayer Events: Jump into Multiplayer-focused Events offering new Weapon Blueprints, with a special Camo-focused Event allowing players to earn multiple Camos across all weapon classes. In the Mid-Season, earn the Lockshot Scorestreak — a smart pistol that locks onto and eliminates multiple targets at once. Multiplayer Maps Torment (Launch) Brand-New, 6v6, Small-Sized The tendrils have taken hold and blood rains from the sky in Torment, a new small-sized Multiplayer map. Atwood is at work here, attempting to extract C-link data, and created this “Torment”; a mix of David Mason’s memories and fears. Guild crates and shipping containers hang suspended in the air and tangled up in the sprawling root system, while glimpses of a chemical staging lab, quarantine signs, and hazardous materials suggest that there may be more than meets the eye in this hellish place. Scale the Bloodfalls and enter a portal into the Basin, a blood-soaked arena branching off toward other portals transporting Operators to the center. Ambush and flank enemies on the other side and use the map’s plentiful cover points to defend against enemies attempting the same. Sake (Launch) Brand-New, 6v6, Medium-Sized Fight now, celebrate later as Operators deploy to a Japanese sake factory in this mid-sized map featuring a Production facility, Depot, and Steaming Room. Visitors to the factory can learn about the brewing process through intricate Displays and within the Exhibit, with a Bar upstairs for thirsty patrons. The various facilities are scattered across the open grounds, including a Loading Dock, an extensive Zen Garden, and a Roundabout entryway, creating pockets of conflict erupting throughout the map. Use your intel to pinpoint the hot zones and get in there to show them who’s boss. Nexus (Launch) Brand-New, 6v6/2v2, Small-Sized Battle erupts in David Mason’s hallucination of a subzero testing facility where TVs with a red static signal are lodged into the ice. As Victoria Atwood tortures Mason’s mind to extract his C-Link data, this twisted vision takes shape in his psyche. Navigate the nearby Cells where prisoners are held or head into the Tunnel and Mine giving entry to the underground facility. The nearly symmetrical map features an outer perimeter that loops around the central operation; use the available inroads to move between here and the outer loop, cutting down enemy combatants along the way. Slums (Launch) Remaster, 6v6, Medium-Sized The fan-favorite Slums Multiplayer map first seen in Black Ops 2 returns! Duke it out around the central Plaza, one of the most iconic Multiplayer map locations in the Black Ops series, adjacent to the infamous Electronics chokepoint providing cover in a tight space at a meeting point between the middle and bottom lanes. Engage in fierce urban combat across Upper Street and Lower Street or take to the top lane and ambush enemies from the Garage and Shops. Highly regarded by both casual and competitive players, Slums offers a true test of skill, no matter what your playstyle. Torque (Mid-Season) Brand-New, 6v6, Medium-Sized Get into a high-speed foot chase on this map that recalls The Battle of Los Angeles in Black Ops 2. Fight along the main road, using the stranded vehicles along the way for cover, while looking for Wall Jump opportunities across huge slabs of rubble and freeway twisting up into the air. Enter the Acropolis National Bank to engage in close quarters combat or traverse the thin ledge behind it to access the slanted roadway with overturned vehicles acting as platforms to help jump across a gaping chasm. In this surreal landscape, anything goes. Be ready for it. Cliff Town (Mid-Season) Remaster, 6v6, Medium-Sized Overlook is a tightly packed urban Multiplayer map, first seen in Black Ops 2 as “Yemen,” now reimagined as a cliffside Avalon town while keeping the original map’s legacy intact. Expect a blend of narrow alleys with elevated vantage points and tight chokepoints, rewarding both aggressive pushes and savvy positioning. Its central crevasse and surrounding structures create dynamic combat spaces where SMGs, ARs, and sniper lines overlap, making every flank and rooftop fight memorable. Mission: Peak (Mid-Season) Brand-New Skirmish Map, 20v20 Gear up for a brand-new 20v20 Skirmish map bringing more large-scale confrontations to Multiplayer. Work to claim High Value Sectors dotted throughout the narrow medieval streets with a central, snaking road to navigate across, watching for snipers nestled across the terracotta tile rooftops. Around half of the perimeter is waterlogged, offering aquatic opportunities courtesy of the available Tactical Rafts, small harbor, and fishery warehouses on the lower rocky ground, below the main medieval settlement where deadly house-to-house combat rages. Grind (Mid-Season) Returning from Black Ops 6, 6v6, Medium-Sized First seen in Black Ops 2, the legendary skatepark returns with the Mid-Season update. Take the fight inside the park and pro shop, or head outdoors to the expansive skate bowl and halfpipe, where open sightlines and vertical movement create constant opportunities. Use ramps and elevation to outplay opponents, chain together stylish eliminations, and pull off highlight-worthy plays, especially as this map benefits from a variety of Wall Jump opportunities across areas you’d normally clamber through. Firing Range (Mid-Season) Returning from Black Ops 6, 6v6, Small-Sized The classic Firing Range map returns in its Black Ops 6 form, entering the Black Ops 7 map pool with Wall Jumps available for the first time. Expect heavy crossfire along the central Road as Operators battle for control of key vantage points, including the Tower and the upper levels of the Shoot House and Garage. Moving targets glide along their tracks behind the Office and in several other locations, offering a brief distraction while setting up your next engagement. For a less direct approach, break away from the center and head down the Dirt Road, staying alert for ambushes as you pass the Storage unit on the way through. Multiplayer ModesAlong with a wide variety of Playlists, Moshpits, and Party Games, Black Ops 7 Multiplayer has plenty of new and returning Modes to look forward to throughout Season 02: Safeguard (Launch) Returning Mode In this high-tension game mode not seen in many years, teams alternate escorting a non-combative robot into enemy territory along a set path. Fight off enemies to reach the robot’s destination near the defending team’s spawn. At least one Operator must be near the robot for it to continue down its path. The defending team must work together to prevent the robot from reaching its objective within the round time limit. Stall the attacking team by downing Operators near the robot, halting its forward progress, and by unleashing damaging attacks on the robot itself, forcing it to shut down and reboot as the clock keeps ticking. Successfully escorting or pushing back the robot awards a point to the winning team. If both teams score a point, Overtime begins, adding 60 seconds to the clock. The team who escorts the robot to its objective in the shortest amount of time wins the match. Overdrive (Launch) Returning Mode Kick into overdrive in this charged up twist on Team Deathmatch, where every elimination earns stars that unlock powerful abilities, with medal-worthy eliminations awarding additional stars, based on the following parameters: Earn 1 star for Basic Eliminations like finishing off an enemy with body shots. Earn 2 stars for Core Medal Eliminations including headshots and melee attacks. Earn 3 stars for completing Distinguished Medal Eliminations, reserved for the most impressive eliminations. Earning stars also grants special Operator abilities, including the following: 1 Star: Awakened Senses: See enemies through walls and replenish your health after eliminating a target. 3 Stars: Physical Enhancements: Increased movement and reloading speed. 6 Stars: Augmented Handling: Improved hip-fire accuracy and improved sprint-to-fire and ADS speeds. Acquiring all three buffs activates Overdrive, earning double the stars when eliminating enemies. If you get eliminated, or the elimination timer runs out, you’ll start back at your base abilities. The first team to collect the maximum number of stars wins. Luck Confirmed (LTM, In-Season) New Mode Feeling lucky? Collect Lucky Pouches dropped from friendlies or an enemy to earn a bonus +100 Score for yourself and your team. The first team to collect enough Lucky Pouches will win the match and be the most prosperous in this Lunar New Year-themed twist on the classic Kill Confirmed mode. Solo Hearts Moshpit (LTM, In-Season) New Moshpit Attention single players only: Expect a Moshpit during the days around Valentine’s Day especially for you, with respawn modes and a Party Size set to 1. All 6v6 maps will be available, with Team Deathmatch, Kill Confirmed, Domination, and Hardpoint in rotation. Third Wheel Gunfight (LTM, In-Season) Returning Mode Who needs a date when you can grab your squad and dominate 3v3 with the return of Third Wheel Gunfight? The addition of an extra player on each side intensifies combat across the mode’s smaller map sizes. Will you spread out, maximizing map coverage, or stick together like lovebirds, winning or losing it all together as one? Gauntlet (Mid-Season) New Mode Flex your skillset in the new Gauntlet mode, challenging teams to vie for victory over five different game modes, played one after the other. The team with the best results across all five modes is declared champion. Similar to the Pentathlon mode in Black Ops 6, two teams of six compete through a series of modes. The first team to reach the Score Limit wins. The modes in question are Team Deathmatch, Domination, Kill Confirmed, Hardpoint, and an additional \[CLASSIFIED] mode. The mode changes every two minutes, and modes are chosen at random. Infected (Mid-Season) Returning Mode Jump into this fan-favorite Party Game and face off against the undead or become one of them. Eliminated survivors become infected. Infect everyone or survive to the end to win. For newcomers to the mode, a single player is randomly chosen to start as the infected following the match countdown. The infected player’s goal is to eliminate the remaining survivors; for each takedown, the fallen Operator will then join the ranks of the infected, while the remaining survivors must work together to fight them off until the match timer runs out. But this time, there’s a twist: when playing as an Infected, you can earn one of two Mutant Injection Scorestreaks to torment the Survivors. Become a Mangler or Disciple and cause some chaos. Additional Loadout Content Unholster the deadly Lockshot, acquire multiple targets, and take them all out one after the other with this new low-cost Scorestreak unlockable in the Mid-Season for use in Multiplayer and Zombies. New Scorestreak Scorestreak: Lockshot (Mid-Season) Score: 450 Mastery Badges: Yes A sleek smart pistol with 3 rounds that can lock onto multiple targets. A single trigger pull eliminates every locked target in quick succession. Unlock via Weekly Challenge. Multiple enemy Operators in sight? No problem. With this smart gun in hand, you can bundle them up, fire, and hit all marked targets in the blink of an eye. Overclock Abilities · Multi-Lock: Adds one round to the magazine, allowing you to lock onto one additional enemy. · Quick-Lock: Reduces enemy lock-on time. Black Ops 7 Ranked Play (Launch) The definitive Ranked Play experience returns for Black Ops 7! Compete using the same settings, maps, modes, and weapon restrictions as the Call of Duty League® to earn and progress your Rank and unlock exclusive Ranked rewards. Competition begins with the launch of Season. Note: Read on, or consult the Competitive Settings Page of the Call of Duty League Website here, for the available Modes, Maps, Game Settings, and Restricted Items in this mode. In addition to Restricted Items listed on the Call of Duty League Website, any items not used by Pro players in CDL competition due to “Gentleman’s Agreements” between players (“GAs”) will be restricted in Ranked Play. This ensures that the Ranked Play experience matches what you see in official Black Ops 7 Call of Duty League competition as closely as possible. Ranked Play: Overview What exactly is Ranked Play? · Play Like the Pros: Play competitive 4x4 matches using the same settings, maps, and mode, and restrictions as the Call of Duty League. · Show Your Skill: Win 3 Placement Matches to receive a starting Rank and then earn SR (Skill Rating) after wins based on your performance to further progress your Rank. Losing matches deducts SR. · Earn Rewards: Unlock exclusive Ranked Play rewards as you reach new Ranks or career win milestones. Rewards include Rank Skins, Rank Camos, Blueprints, and additional Ranked Play rewards each season. Ranked Play Access: To ensure that everyone competing in Ranked Play has a baseline experience with Multiplayer, all players must earn 50 Wins in Matchmade Multiplayer games to unlock access to Black Ops 7 Ranked Play. Wins earned before the start of Season 02 count towards unlocking the mode. Wins in Party Game and Limited Time Modes do not count towards this unlock requirement. Then you’re ready to play. Ranked Play Security Requirements When Multiplayer Ranked Play launches in Season 02, RICOCHET Anti-Cheat™ will require a stronger form of Remote Attestation for PC players, in partnership with Microsoft. This extra layer of protection sets a new standard for Ranked Play, building on our existing TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot requirements. If you’re a PC player and need more information about security requirements, click here\[CK1] . Placement Matches How you earn your starting Rank has changed in Black Ops 7 Ranked Play with the addition of Placement Matches! Placement Matches get you into higher Ranks significantly faster than in Black Ops 6 and make starting your Ranked Play career easier than ever. Players start Unranked and must win three Placement Matches to receive a starting Rank. After each Placement Match Win, your Minimum Starting Rank will update to show a projection of where you’re expected to place. Win three Placement Matches to receive your starting Rank and begin your climb! SR (Skill Rating) When you receive a starting Rank, you’ll also receive a starting SR (Skill Rating) number. Your SR directly corresponds to your Rank and Tier: · Win to Earn SR: Earn SR after each Ranked Play win — the amount you receive is directly related to your performance in the match relative to the skill of the other players, your team’s margin of victory. · How SR is Calculated: If you’re seeing large SR gains after wins, it’s a good indicator that the Skill Rating system considers you to currently be a lower Rank than you deserve to be based on your recent performances. Continue to win matches to increase your SR and climb towards promotion into higher Ranks. · SR Losses: When you lose in Ranked Play, you’ll also lose SR. This is similarly determined by your performance and the other match factors outlined above. · Loss Forgiveness: Occasionally, an SR Loss will be forgiven to minimize frustration and ensure a fair playing field: o New Season Protection: Your first three Losses of the Season won’t result in SR Losses (kicks in after Placement Matches). o Rank Up Protection: If you get promoted into a higher Rank, your first 3 Losses in that new Rank won’t result in SR Losses. o Daily Loss Protection: Your first Loss of the Day won’t result in a SR loss. o Matchmade Teammate Quit: To reduce the frustration of having to play shorthanded, you will not lose SR if you lose a match where a matchmade teammate quit while the match was in progress. This does not apply if a player in your party quits, however. o Matchmade Teammate Rejoined: Your SR Loss is reduced in the case that a matchmade teammate quits but then rejoins the match later. Ranks Ranking System: Your SR directly corresponds to a Rank and Tier. Continue to win matches to increase your SR and work towards promotion into higher Ranks and Tiers: · Bronze · Bronze I: 0 SR | Bronze II: 300 SR | Bronze III: 600 SR · Silver · Silver I: 900 SR | Silver II: 1300 SR | Silver III: 1700 SR · Gold · Gold I: 2100 SR | Gold II: 2600 SR | Gold III: 3100 SR · Platinum · Platinum I: 3600 SR | Platinum II: 4200 SR | Platinum III: 4800 SR · Diamond · Diamond I: 5400 SR | Diamond II: 6100 SR | Diamond III: 6800 SR · Crimson · Crimson I: 7500 SR | Crimson II: 8300 SR | Crimson III: 9100 SR · Iridescent · 10,000 SR+ Top 250 Rank: Only the best of the best will claim a spot in the highest Rank: Top 250. Here players who’ve reached 10,000 SR (Iridescent Rank) are ranked by their current SR from #1-250. All Ranked players can follow along the battle for Top 250 #1 Overall via the Top 250 Leaderboard accessible via the Ranked Play menu. Active CDL Pros and CDL Broadcast Talent are visually called out in the Leaderboard with info cards so it’s easy to keep track of your favorite players and personalities over the course of the Season. Hot Streak Flames: Win three matches in a row to earn a flaming Rank, which your teammates and rivals can see as one indication of your impressive skills! Continue winning to progress the Hot Streak Flames. Flames expire after a loss or after 72 hours. Your Rank Each Season: Each Season of Ranked Play is its own skill journey and depending on your Rank you’ll need to re-place at the start of a new Season: · Bronze, Silver, and Gold Players: Your Rank and SR are not impacted at the start of a new Season, and you can continue where you left off at the end of the previous Season. · Platinum+ Players: You must win one Placement Match to get placed into a Rank and start the new Season. Competitive Integrity Solo & Duo Parties Only in Higher Ranks: To ensure a fair playing field for players in the Top 250 and highest Ranks, only parties of 1-2 players will be allowed to form in Crimson Rank or above. Players in Diamond Rank or below will continue to be able to form 1-4 player parties as long as they fit within the Party Skill Restrictions: · Crimson Rank and Above: Can only form 1-2 player parties. Can only form parties with players within 1 Rank. · Diamond Rank: Can only form parties with players within 2 Ranks. · Bronze-Platinum Rank: No Party Skill Restrictions. · 4-Player Parties: Can form Ranked parties with any combination of Ranks as long as all players are Diamond Rank or below. Party will matchmake based on the highest Rank in the party. Map and Mode Veto: Before each Ranked match, three map and mode combinations are presented in the Lobby and Ranked Play teams can vote to veto one of the presented options. After both teams make their veto pick, the remaining option is selected. If both teams veto the same option, the match’s map/mode will be randomly selected out of the two non-vetoed options. Forfeit: Vote with your team to end a match early if your team is getting blown out, or you’ve lost a teammate. All teammates must vote for the Forfeit. Forfeited matches count as a standard loss and do not result in SR penalties or suspensions. Forfeit becomes available in the Options Menu at a designated point in each mode: · Hardpoint: Winning Team reaches 100 Points · Overload: After the First Round · Search & Destroy: After the Third Round Rules and Restrictions Overview It’s important you understand the ruleset of Ranked Play before you challenge the best Call of Duty players to a match or two: · Loadout and Restrictions: All Loadout content is unlocked in Ranked Play to ensure a fair playing field.

[data-focus-scheme="dark"] { color-scheme: none; } Greetings Space Marines, First and foremost, we would like to wish you all the best for the new year. We hope that 2026 will be another great year for gaming, and we look forward to bringing more content to Space Marine 2 and seeing players enjoy it. There’s still a lot to come in the upcoming months, bear with us! Speaking of updates, today, we’ve released a small hotfix (11.3) that brings compatibility with Microsoft Store versions. Also, Patch 12 - Techmarine Update is next! Let’s detail the content together. A RECAP OF PATCH 12’S CONTENTWe’re targeting the end of February for the release. Stay tuned. SOME TECHMARINE NEWS The wait is almost over! To make it more tolerable, we might give you as many details as we can about this new Class. A detailed Devblog was published a few days ago. If you missed it, read it now, right here! And if you’re too lazy to read all the details, here’s a summary. What is this new Techmarine class like? Techmarines are specialists in crowd control and area defense. In melee, they’re able to take on large groups of enemies with their Omnissian Axe, and they also shine in mid-range combat thanks to their firearms arsenal. The Techmarine’s Special Abilities reinforce this “area defense specialist” aspect. First, the Tarantula Sentry Gun. When a Techmarine is in the squad, Tarantula Sentry Guns spawn on the map and can only be activated by the Techmarine. Once activated, they will automatically shoot at nearby enemies, until they run out of ammo or are destroyed. Secondly, your Special Ability is the Servo-Gun, which unleashes a powerful volley on enemies, and can be upgraded with the class perks. The Techmarine class will be available in all PvE and PvP modes when Patch 12 drops, for free of course. No DLC or in-game purchases required. Here’s a closer look at the Omnissian Axe, both for Loyalists and Chaos! Please note that the Techmarine is the only Class allowed to bear the Omnissian Axe As some of you might have guessed, the Chaos counterpart to the Techmarine in PvP will be a Red Corsairs Warpsmith. NEW PVE MAP “DISRUPTION” With Patch 12 will come a new PVE map named “Disruption”! Here’s the brief for your next mission: Combat Squad Veridian must reinforce a battalion of Cadians besieged by a Tyranid swarm, when an urgent missive from an Ecclesiarchy Priest alerts them to a Thousand Sons ritual profaning a nearby Cathedral. Both onslaughts must be disrupted to prevent a domino effect that will jeopardise concurrent operations elsewhere on Avarax. And here’s how it looks! [carousel][/carousel] TWO NEW COSMETIC DLCs ARE COMING Coming with Patch 12.0, 2 new cosmetic DLCs are on their way! This time, customise your experience with the Raven Guard Champion Pack and the Carcharodons Cosmetic Pack! Raven Guard Champion Pack The Raven Guard Champion will be associated with the Assault class. Let’s see which elements will be compatible separately with other classes: Helm: Tactical / Assault / Vanguard / Bulwark / Sniper / Heavy Wargear: Tactical (tabard) / Sniper (cape) L. Pauldron: Tactical / Assault / Bulwark / Heavy R. Pauldron: Tactical / Assault / Vanguard / Bulwark / Sniper Chestplate: Tactical / Assault L. Gauntlet: Tactical / Assault / Bulwark R. Gauntlet: Tactical / Assault / Bulwark L. Greave: Tactical (without thrusters) / Assault / Bulwark (without thrusters) R. Greave: Tactical (without thrusters) / Assault / Bulwark (without thrusters) Backpack: Assault The Raven Guard Champion Pack also includes its Bolt Pistol skin. Carcharodons Cosmetic Pack The Carcharodons Cosmetic pack includes 2 Helms, 1 Left Pauldron, 1 Right Pauldron and 1 Chestplate. Unlike the other Cosmetic Packs, the Carcharodons Cosmetic Pack does not add a new Heraldry page to unlock the cosmetic items. Instead, the armour pieces will be automatically unlocked and added to your armour sets once you purchase the pack. WHAT’S MORE? That's not all, the Techmarine Update also brings: 20 new modifiers for the Stratagems mode You can now swap the different Space Marine heads (for example, you can use the "Assault" default head on the Sniper) A new equipment has been added: the Restorative Stimms. It takes the slot of your Medicae Stimms, and it will provide a different way to heal your Space Marine's wounds: instead of "burst" of heal, it will regenerate your HP overtime, and also generate contested health (up to 100% of your missing HP, which means you effectively can regen all of your missing HP when used correctly) 3 new Heroic Weapon variants for the Combat Knife (Fencing), the Heavy Bolt Rifle (Combi Grenade Launcher) and the Omnissian Axe (Fencing). Although the three Heroic Weapons were not part of the initial plan, we were so encouraged by your enthusiasm that we chose to add them to our roadmap. THE PUBLIC TEST SERVER IS LIVE! PTS is now live on Steam, on Jan 29, and ends Feb 6th. So, go ahead and have a first taste of Patch 12 while you can! You can read the patch notes here. Please note that since the PTS is a “work in progress” version of the final patch, all the gameplay elements such as all the Techmarine customisation elements or the Voice Selector for the Voice Pack DLC are not implemented yet. Rest assured, they will be ready when Patch 12 releases. To access the PTS, follow our tutorial here. Since Steam recent changes, you now have to tick the “Tools” box in the Library menu to see the PTS. VOICE PACKS FAQ We announced our intention to release a Voice Pack last month, and you naturally had a few questions about it! We’ll try to address all the most frequently asked questions hereafter. What will be the price of the Voice Pack? The Voice Pack will be sold at $4,99. When will we be able to buy the Voice Pack? The Voice Pack drops with Patch 12, at the end of February. Purchases will open at the same time the patch rolls out. How many voice lines are contained in the Voice Pack? It will contain over 450 voicelines per Chapter, dubbed in the 7 audio languages already supported by the game, and introduce unique lines based on the Chapter (for example, the Space Wolf will shout “For the Allfather” instead of the usual “For the Emperor”) and your Space Marine will shout these new lines. Same goes for the Social Wheel emotes. And for those who may be wondering: We’re happy to confirm that each and every one of this Voice Pack’s 1300+ total voice lines were performed by a real voice actor, as our commitment to quality remains absolute. Voice Actors (english): Thomas Mitchells (Blood Angels) Andrew James Spooner (Space Wolves) Kris W. Laudrum (Black Templars) What do they sound like? Can I get a sneak peek? Sure! Here is one snippet per Chapter: Will there be individual Packs? Or, are the 3 heads tied in the same Pack? The Voice Pack comes with a set of three new heads for PvE. All three heads (Space Wolf, Blood Angel, Black Templars) are part of the same Voice Pack. They cannot be sold separately. Can I equip one Chapter’s head with another Chapter’s voice? Yes, you can equip one Chapter’s head with another Chapter’s voice. Voices and heads aren’t tied together. Is the Voice Pack Class-Specific? For example: is the Space Wolf for Vanguard only? No, they aren’t class-restricted. You will hear the new voice lines regardless of the Class you’ve picked. Will other Chapters get a Voice Pack in the future? Absolutely! A second Voice Pack is in the making. We’ll reveal which Chapters will receive it, later this year. Stay tuned! Will the original heads that are in the game now be interchangeable as well? Yes. THAT’S IT FOR THIS MONTH! Thank you for your support! Join the community on our official Discord Server, where 90K+ chit-chat everything Space Marine 2, share their thoughts on the game and find PvP or PvE matches every day. We’re eager to hear from you. The Emperor Protects -The Saber & Focus teams Vezi articolul complet

[data-focus-scheme="dark"] { color-scheme: none; } Warband! The Cartels have opened their vaults, granting access to enhanced stimms to help fight the rising tide. Dismayed by the state of the city, and keen to show their worth, the Cartels’ chemists have cooked up a special batch of enhanced stimms and distributed them throughout Tertium. These are particularly effective against the recent spate of Pox Gas attacks that the Admonition has unleashed on the populace. Get out there and put them to the test. All available Stimms (including the Cartel Special) have been enhanced by the Cartel’s chemists, improving their effectiveness while also granting stacks of Pox Gas resistance. This event will start today and run until 16th of February. Progress in the event will reward Ordo Dockets, Plasteel, Diamantine, and a brand new insignia frame at the last tier!

welcome

[data-focus-scheme="dark"] { color-scheme: none; } Warband, This patch comes with several technical improvements that we hope will increase stability and network performance in the game. It should also improve playing on slower and/or unstable network connections. In addition we also improved memory usage to help performance on lower-end devices. We will continue to work on improvements, and we urge you all to keep sending in crash reports, as they really help us to find further solutions. Patch 1.10.4 is currently rolling out across our platforms. In the meantime, you can read the notes below. General Bug Fixes Several improvements and fixes to stability and network performance. Improved memory usage to increase performance on lower-end devices. Fixed a bug where the Mission Board and the Special Assignments would have mismatching ordering on the campaign missions Fixed an issue that was causing the server to crash when players would step in specific locations in several missions. Fixed a memory leak when generating player portraits for UI presentations. Fixed an issue where the second damage instance of multiple-hits Heavy attacks on the Chirurgeon's Mk IV Bone Saw was not using the correct profile when having the Brittleness coating applied. Fixed a crash which could happen when another player disconnected just as Rampage! ended. Fixed an issue that was causing the Stimm Supply to get stuck in the player's hands after trying to place it. Fixed crash that could happen if the player leaves missions while particle effects still are active. Fixed an issue that could happen when a player left the game from the menu causing the slot for another player to join to be locked for a certain amount of time. Fixed "Well Oiled Killteam" penance not progressing. Fixed an issue that was causing the last blessing point for the Shredder Autopistol to remain unspent. Fixed an issue where the Auspex Drill penance wouldn’t track towards completion. Fixed a lighting issue where the light would turn from dark to very bright. Fixed an issue where the mission’s fog would disappear completely when using a stealth ability. Fixed an issue where certain language fonts had issues rendering correctly on the Aquila Purchase screen. Fixed bug where when using a controller and starting a campaign mission from the Special Assignments view would also start the debrief video. Reverted an unintended change introduced in 1.10.3 that made weapon specific dodge linger time affect incoming ranged attacks. Reverted an unintended change that allowed dodge stats from talent trees to also impact incoming ranged damage. Cosmetic Fixes Fixed color name in item title of the Hive Scum Hood (KHAKI) to the correct color. Fixed graphical issue where the white skull decal did not show up on the MK IVM Pot Helm With Gas Mask (XXXXL). Fixed headgear clipping with the ears on some faces - Steel Legion Flak Helmet (Parade Polish). Fixed deformation issue with implant - Commando Beret With Augmetic Implant (Green). Fixed clipping issues with face - Athonian 98th Pilgrim's Warhelm (Red). Fixed issue with backpacks clipping with the cloak - Athonian 98th Fatigues. Rolling Bones trinket now shows as expected when showcased in the UI screens. Fixed clipping with strap and head on Slasher Hivescum Headgear Fixed distortion in Commando Beret with Augmetic Implant (Green). Fixed clipping issue with leg armor on Krieg Vigil Greatcoat (Krieg 143rd). Fixed physics on Votarist's Pot Helm with Rebreather Fixed clipping issue with leg armor on Imperius pattern Psykana garb. Additional Changes Corrected the penance conditions of some missions with misgiving information. Arbites' Remote Detonation now has the correct icon in the HUD. Fixed an issue where Dual Autopistols didn't have shell casings ejected from the weapons when firing. Fixed muzzle smoke for Dual Stub Pistols and Stub Revolver moving in unintended directions. Fixed an issue that was causing Dual Stub Pistols magazines to cast unintended shadows when they ejected. That’s all for today! We’ll see you on the Mourningstar. – The Darktide Team Vezi articolul complet

[data-focus-scheme="dark"] { color-scheme: none; } Greetings Space Marines! In today’s blog, we’ll give you a complete presentation of the upcoming new class, the Techmarine! PlaystyleThe Techmarine is a specialist in crowd control and zoning. His arsenal can hold off both crowds of enemies and individual dangerous opponents while his allies safely deal damage. Gameplay-wise, the Techmarine is a mixed class with a slight melee bias. Unlike the Bulwark, who also keeps enemies away from attacking classes, the Techmarine is more focused on pressuring enemies with wide AoE melee attacks and mid-range firearms. AbilitiesHis special ability, the Servo-Gun, unleashes a powerful volley on nearby enemies. Additionally, the Techmarine can detect and activate Tarantula Sentry Guns on the levels. They will attack enemies until they run out of ammo or are destroyed. A unique characteristic of the Techmarine is the integration of the Servo-Gun during Gun Strikes. This allows for greater movement freedom compared to other classes during these actions, for instance you can perform melee attacks while using a Gun Strike. ArsenalThe Techmarine can use the following weapons: Primary Weapons: Auto Bolt Rifle Bolt Rifle Heavy Bolt Rifle Occulus Bolt Carbine Plasma Incinerator Secondary Weapons: Bolt Pistol Heavy Bolt Pistol Plasma Pistol Inferno Pistol Neo-Volkite Pistol Melee Weapons: Combat Knife Power Sword Power Axe Omnissian Axe As you can see, the Techmarine’s unique array of weapons includes the standout Omnissian Axe. This new melee weapon is exclusive to the Techmarine, and it’s perfect for handling multiple smaller enemies simultaneously due to its wide AoE attacks. It also has a special move, the “Omnissian Rush”, which makes the Techmarine rush forward, impaling the enemies. PerksWe thought that you might be interested to know the perks the Techmarine will have. You can check out this short video and pause to read all the perks effects, but keep in mind that some values can still change until the release of Patch 12. That’s it for our Techmarine blog! We hope it gave you a complete overview of this new class, and that you’re excited to test it when Patch 12 releases! - The Emperor protects Vezi articolul complet

Ultima actualizare la ianuarie 25, 2026 Anul 2025 a fost unul plin de lansări excelente, surprize și experiențe de neuitat, pe tot parcursul anului, nu cred că am avut timp să mă plictisesc, nici măcar pentru o zi.. lansare după lansare, jocuri la care nu puteam să dau cu piciorul, dar nici să le joc doar pentru o experiență scurtă, a trebuit să îmi administrez timpul astfel încât să simt că am trăit nu una, nu două, ci zeci de experiențe uimitoare. În același timp, entuziasmul meu pentru 2026 a crescut tot mai mult, nu doar pentru că ne apropiem de sfârșitul generației, unde toată lumea își va arăta „puterile supreme”, dar pentru simplul fapt că vom avea parte de o bucată de ficțiune pe care o aștept deja de aproximativ 3 ani, și anume „Phantom Blade 0”. O primă impresie reușită La prima vedere, luna Ianuarie a acestui an părea una ceva mai slabă pentru lansări în industria gaming, având doar 2 jocuri de tip AAA, și acelea doar pentru un anumit tip de persoane. Totuși, pot zice că m-am înșelat amarnic, a fost un caz contrariu în care dezvoltatorii mi-au arătat încă o dată că gusturile unui om se schimbă cu timpul. Întotdeauna strângeam din dinți când auzeam că jocurile gacha au zeci de milioane de jucători, întotdeauna le-am considerat un cash grab, livrate special către anumite persoane care vor să își irosească sute de ore completând aceleași quest-uri și omorând aceeași monștri. Jocurile de tip Gacha, care au devenit mainstream după lansarea jocului „Genshin Impact” din 2020, nu sunt neapărat făcute pentru „The Male Gaze”, unde ai nevoie de saci plini de dinero pentru a obține un personaj de sex feminin oversexualized. Termenul de „Gacha” este unul ambiguu, pe care eu nu îl cunosc atât de bine, dar îl pot descrie ca și o mecanică unde jucătorii cheltuiesc bani reali pentru un anumit currency că să-l bage mai degrabă, la gambling. Desigur, jocurile de genul ăsta nu te vor obliga să bagi atât de mulți bani, poți debloca acele recompense doar jucând jocul, cu toate că durează foarte mult, ceva foarte similar cu un MMO, până la urmă de la asta derivează jocurile de acest tip, doar că.. în cazul de față, tematica principală este Anime. Mecanici bine făcute, dar obositoare.. În „Arknights: Endfield”, jocul pe care l-am butonat în ultimele zile, m-am simțit în largul meu, ca și cum ar fi fost ceva mai mult decât un Gacha. De asemenea, doresc să precizez că acest titlu este defapt un fel de sequel al jocului de mobil cu același nume, pe care eu nu l-am jucat, dar am auzit lucruri bune despre el de la diverși veterani ai acestui gen. Probabil toată lumea se întreabă.. de ce este acest joc diferit față de celelalte? .. în mare parte, arată similar cu jocurile de la „Mihoyo” sau chiar Wuthering Waves. Răspunsul pe scurt este unul foarte simplu.. absolut TOTUL este schimbat în acest joc, fară dar și poate, un număr imens de mecanici și o complexitate care devine frustrantă la scurt timp după ce ai dat play în meniul principal. Punctul culminant al acestui joc este totalmente acaparat de mecanica fabricii, care desigur, lucrează mai mult decât tine. Termenul dat în joc este „Automated Industry Complex”, cum zice și în nume, este COMPLEX! Dar, jucătorii de Factorio ar trebui să se descurce. Pe înțelesul tuturor, pentru a iți îmbunătății personajele, armele, armurile și tot ce ține de a avea o echipă mai puternică, ai nevoie de diverse materiale pe care le poți primi din lupte, minat, explorat sau chiar forjat. „AIC-ul” te va ajuta să faci rost de ele cât timp ești offline, producând non-stop ce ai nevoie, totuși, ca și în orice joc cu mecanici similare, pe măsură ce personajele tale devin mai puternice, și AIC-ul necesită mai mult research și timp în îmbunătățiri. Un alt mod de joc sau mai bine zis o mecanică din Open World, este modul de „Tower Defense” .. care este exact ce ați crede, amplasezi turnuri pentru a îți apăra baza de inamici. Experiența mea a fost plăcută cu acest mod de joc, având în vedere că sunt un mare fan al seriei „Kingdom Rush”, am simțit acesta ca și pe o gură de aer proaspăt după toată bătaia de cap pe care am avut-o construind AIC-ul. Față de alte jocuri Gacha populare precum „Zenless Zone Zero” și „Genshin Impact”, Arknights: Endfield adaugă o mecanică pe care eu o îndrăgesc foarte mult, și anume „Squad-Based Real Time Combat”. Pe scurt, toată echipa ta de 4 personaje este activă în mod simultan, poate sunteți mai degrabă familiarizați cu celelalte jocuri care au o mecanică similară, precum „Final Fantasy XV” și „Granblue Fantasy: Relink”. Lumea deschisă este de asemenea.. foarte revigoranta, ai o tonă de activități, puzzle-uri, cufere ascunse, colectibile secrete și side quest-uri bune. Schimbă engine-ul fidelitatea grafică? Am fost surprins că „Hypergryph” au ales să folosească Unity în loc de Unreal Engine 5. Aș putea zice că este din cauză că Unity este mult mai ușor de folosit, cu toate că nu are cele mai bune și utile features precum UE5. Într-un joc de acest tip, nu pot zice că a fost o alegere proastă, având în vedere că jocul arată superb .. cel puțin când vine vorba de stilul artistic. Fidelitatea grafică, într-adevăr, este mai scăzută, dat fiind că jocul este și pentru mobil, se poate accepta. În schimb, am fost foarte mulțumit de design-ul personajelor și al inamicilor, cât și anumite zone care îmi aminteau foarte mult de „Final Fantasy 7: Remake”. Cât despre performanță, am testat acest joc pe 3 device-uri.. iPhone 15 Pro Max, PlayStation 5 Pro și un PC High-End. Rezultatele au fost în favoarea PC-ului în 99% din cazuri, dar nu mă așteptam să fie atât de problematic pe consolă, având în vedere că au un contract vizibil cu Sony, fiind un joc PS5 console exclusive. Muzica nu m-a dat pe spate O categorie în care nu am avut foarte mult de comentat a fost cea de Sunet și Muzică, unde nu am fost uimit, dar nici dezgustat. Într-adevăr, replicile din acest joc și actoria de voce, cel puțin în engleză, nu sunt cele mai grozave, se duc în partea „Corny” a industriei, o normalizare în jocurile cu tematică Anime. Alt joc Gacha cu o poveste dezamăgitoare Scurt și la obiect, povestea din acest joc este mediocră. Focus-ul principal într-un gacha nu este povestea, ci mai degrabă lore-ul din spate, din ce am înțeles de la veterani, dar atât de mult text de prost gust mă induce în eroare și mă plictisește teribil. Nu este acel tip de poveste care îți dă bucurie, tristețe sau entuziasm pentru ce se va întâmpla, în schimb, este doar să fie pus acolo. Se poate observa munca scriitorilor, fiecare personaj fiind atât de bine structurat pe partea de informații, dar fară prea mult efort pus în dezvoltarea lor. Gacha-ul anului acesta Cu un gameplay sclipitor, un stil artistic demn de apreciat și o introducere de mecanici unice în jocurile de acest gen, Arknights: Endfield este fără dar și poate cel mai complex joc Gacha pe care l-am întâlnit, cu toate astea, complexitatea uneori aduce bătăi de cap, în special când vine vorba de tot sistemul de construcții. Recomand acest joc pe deplin tuturor persoanelor care au mai încercat Gachas în trecut. De asemenea, am o speranță că dezvoltatorii vor adăuga un mod de seamless Co-op cât de curând posibil. Nota finală este de – 8/10 – The post Arknights: Endfield – Recenzie appeared first on Need4Games. Citește mai departe !

O teorie care îmbină cosmologia cu religia Un fost cercetător în fizică de la prestigioasa Universitate Harvard afirmă că ar fi descoperit — teoretic — locația unde s-ar afla Dumnezeu, interpretând termeni științifici din cosmologie într-o cheie metafizică. Deși ideea a atras rapid atenția publicului, specialiștii avertizează că nu are sprijin în știința contemporană și rămâne o speculație. Dincolo de Orizontul Cosmic: ipoteza lui Michael Guillén Dr. Michael Guillén, fost fizician și profesor asociat la Harvard, susține într-un eseu că Biblia și fizica modernă ar putea sugera o „locație” pentru ceea ce tradițiile religioase numesc raiul sau „locuința lui Dumnezeu”. El identifică acest loc într-o zonă situată dincolo de Orizontul Cosmic — limita teoretică a Universului observabil, dincolo de care lumina și informația nu pot ajunge până la noi. Conform calculelor prezentate, această limită s-ar afla la o distanță de aproximativ 439 de miliarde de trilioane de kilometri față de Pământ. Timpul îngheață la marginea Universului? În argumentația sa, Guillén afirmă că, la această graniță a Universului, timpul încetează să existe așa cum îl percepem noi, iar spațiul devine inaccesibil. Această idee ar semăna cu descrierile biblice ale unui „loc dincolo de timp și spațiu”, locuit de entități nemuritoare — inclusiv divinitatea. Ce spun oamenii de știință? Specialiștii subliniază însă că această ipoteză nu este susținută de știința actuală. Orizontul Cosmic este o limită de observație, nu un loc fizic propriu-zis. Spațiul continuă să existe dincolo de acest punct, dar lumina emisă de acolo nu a avut timp să ajungă până la noi din cauza expansiunii Universului. Această „descoperire” nu apare în reviste științifice și nu a fost validată de comunitatea academică. Experții avertizează că îmbinarea metaforelor religioase cu concepte tehnice din fizică poate duce la confuzii. Întrebarea rămâne deschisă Deși teoria a provocat discuții aprinse online, natura divinității și existența unui loc precis pentru „Dumnezeu” rămân chestiuni de credință și filosofie, nu de știință demonstrabilă. Până în prezent, nu există nicio dovadă observabilă care să indice existența unui loc fizic sau a unei entități divine dincolo de Orizontul Cosmic.

La doar doi ani de la debut, constructorul de la Mioveni a cucerit Raliul Dakar 2026, competiția considerată de specialiști drept cea mai dură probă de motorsport din lume. Cei care au cucerit deșertul Dakarului. FOTO: Dacia Cu sinceritate, mărturisesc faptul că nu prea știu de unde să încep acest material. Aș putea vorbi despre cele două săptămâni în care am fost „sechestrat“ până după prânz în fața laptopului urmărind cu emoție ca fiecare echipaj Dacia să bifeze următorul punct de control orar al etapei din acea zi. E frumos să descoperi la 48 de ani că te poți bucura ca un copil când vezi niște secunde în minus la eroii tăi. Ar fi suficient să povestesc cum am urmărit ultima etapă de la volan pentru a înțelege câte pasiuni poate naște acest Dakar de la mii de kilometri distanță. Aș putea începe cu bucuria jurnalistului auto, care eram, de acum 22 de ani când s-a lansat Dacia Logan – repunea țara noastră pe harta mondială a automobilului. Sau cu acea amărăciune pe care nu o poți explica atunci când te intersectezi cu o nedreptate gratuită – momentul în care niște nemți au „răsturnat“ un Logan, susținând că nu trece testul elanului. Aceiași nemți aveau, în 2006, ADAC Dacia Logan Clubsport, modul lor de a recunoaște că au greșit și Loganul nu se răstoarnă la primul viraj. Dacia, regină în deșert. FOTO: Dacia Pe acest fir epic, care începe cu debutul Dacia Logan în 2004, am mai strâns niște momente alături de această marcă la care țin foarte mult, și care o fac să valoreze puțin altfel pentru mine. Când intri într-o familie precum Grupul Renault, o cină la ultimul etaj al Turnului Eiffel nu mai este un vis pe care-l poți trăi doar prin filtrul vizionării unui film romantic. Dacia a dus numele Duster în America, la Pikes Peak, l-a dus și pe circuitele de gheață din Trofeul Andros alături de cvadruplul campion de Formula 1 Alain Prost. Dacia are în palmares și un titlu la Trofeul Andros la categoria regină, Elite Pro – nu cu Duster, ci cu Dacia Lodgy Glace pilotată tot de Alain Prost. Iar acum, se adaugă victoria atât de mare Dacia de la Dakar. World Rally-Raid Championship (W2RC) Când a fost anunțat acest program, inițial am cezut că este o glumă de 1 aprilie. Atât de ireală, dar în același timp atât de frumoasă se anunța aventura. Până nu i-am văzut pe Sebastien Loeb și Nasser Al-Attiyah în tricouri cu sigla Dacia, nu am crezut că ei sunt printre cei care vor urca la volanul prototipurilor Sandrider de clasă T1+. Echipajele Dacia Sandrider din ediția 2026 a rally-raidului Dakar: Nasser Al-Attiyah Fabian Lurquin Cristina Gutiérrez Pablo Moreno Sébastien Loeb Edouard Boulanger Lucas Moraes Dennis Zenz Aventura a început în 2024 în Maroc cu participarea la Raliul Marocului – cinci zile în care aveau de acoperit peste 2.400 km. Nasser Al-Attiyah a câștigat, fiind urmat de Loeb pe poziția secundă. Apoi a venit ediția din 2025 a rally-raidului Dakar. Cine își imaginează că Dakar este doar o afacere care se rezolvă cu un buget pe măsură se înșală amarnic. Competiția asta este atât de dură încât toți banii din lume nu îți garantează primul loc. Cred că Dakar este un alt motiv pe care ni-l oferim noi, ca specie, pentru a ne defini – iar atelajele implicate sunt pretexte. Nu este ediție a acestei superbe competiții care să nu te miște până la lacrimi. Într-una dintre edițiile trecute, un motociclist a avut ceva probleme tehnice, s-a și rătăcit, dar a reușit să termine etapa cu puțin înainte de startul în următoarea. Echipa îl aștepta doar să ajungă teafăr la finalul acelei etape, restul nu mai conta. Motociclistul a ajuns, i-a rugat pe mecanici să-i verifice motocicleta, să-i facă plinul și a plecat în următoarea etapă. Să vezi o echipă de mecanici care izbucnesc în plâns după plecarea sportivului în următoarea etapă este copleșitor. Din astfel de povești este construit Dakar, și de aici fascinația pentru el. Sebastien Loeb. FOTO: Dacia Așa că locul 4 ocupat de Nasser Al-Attiyah în ediția de anul trecut a impresionat la prima participare Dacia în această competiție. Victoria din acest an gravează numele Dacia într-o listă extrem de selectă a constructorilor care s-au impus în această competiție. Și poate mai impresionant este faptul că trei echipaje au terminat în Top 10. Partener tehnic Nu este un secret că Prodrive este partenerul tehnic Dacia pentru implicarea în World Rally-Raid Championship (W2RC). Nu este un secret faptul că Prodrive a fost implicat în rally-raid cu prototipul Hunter de clasă T1+ înainte de a deveni partener tehnic Dacia în această aventură. Dacia Manifesto a părut inițial un concept care a dorit să atragă puțin atenția asupra mărcii, să introducă o nouă identitate vizuală. Apoi, Manifesto s-a transformat în Dacia Sandrider, un prototip de 1 milion de euro bucata. Au fost voci care au susținut că modelul Dacia este de fapt un Prodrive Hunter recarosat. Greșit. Greșit până când și din perspectiva istoriei fabuloase pe care o are Grupul Renault în motorsport și care obligă. Monstru peste dunele deșertului. FOTO: Dacia Dacă prototipul Hunter era echipat cu un motor Ford EcoBoost V6 de 3.5 litri, Sandrider este echipat cu un propulsor din cadrul Alianței Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi preparat de Alpine Racing. Este vorba despre un V6 bi-turbo de 3 litri care își are originea într-un motor de pe un model de serie. VR30DDTT (numele de cod al motorului) poate fi găsit astăzi sub capota lui Nissan 400Z. Și pentru că motorsportul este un creuzet unde se nasc tehnologii și se testează pentru a fi certificate și ulterior aduse în producția de serie, să nu vă imaginați că altfel stau lucrurile și în cazul acestui proiect Dacia. Cum se vede viitorul Dacia a pornit cu dreptul în ediția de anul acesta a World Rally-Raid Championship (W2RC). Așa că așteptăm pentru final, de ce nu, titlul mondial în campionat – la constructori, piloți și copiloți. Pentru mine, rămâne bucuria de a mă apropia de copilărie când am șansa de a admira astfel de eroi și confirmarea că Dacia este unul dintre cele mai bune lucruri întâmplate acestei țări după Revoluție.

Autoeco, un magazin online de piese auto care publică sfaturi pentru șoferi, avertizează că ștergătoarele nu trebuie ridicate iarna, deoarece tensiunea prelungită în arcul brațului poate duce la slăbirea acestuia, reducând eficiența ștergerii pe termen lung, sau brațul poate fi trântit accidental de vânt, fisurând parbrizul. FOTO: Pexels Cu siguranță am observat cu toții că unii șoferi își lasă ștergătoarele ridicate pe timpul iernii. Potrivit Glass Doctor, unul dintre motivele pentru care șoferii practică acest obicei este pentru a preveni înghețarea lor pe parbriz, ceea ar duce la deteriorarea lamelor de cauciuc. Ștergătoarele înghețate care rămân lipite de geam pot transforma condusul pe timp de iarnă într-un coșmar. Site-ul oferă și câteva avantaje: Un ștergător poziționat vertical nu poate îngheța pe suprafața parbrizului și poate ajuta la reducerea timpului total necesar pentru dezghețare. Mai mult, un ștergător lăsat în funcțiune atunci când motorul este oprit (la destinație) se poate lipi de parbriz prin îngheț în timp ce mașina este parcată. Când vehiculul este repornit, ștergătoarele se pot defecta dacă sunt blocate de gheață, provocând suprasolicitarea sau deteriorarea motorului ștergătoarelor, ceea ce va necesita o reparație profesională imediată. Cu toate acestea, există și dezavantaje, pe care Autoeco le explică într-un videoclip publicat pe Instagram. „Ce nu trebuie să faci iarna? Și am văzut la foarte, foarte multe persoane. Lasă brațul de ștergător ridicat la mașină «că ninge». Este foarte rău pentru mașină. De ce? În interiorul brațului există un arc. În momentul în care tu ai brațul ridicat, arcul stă în tensiune maximă. Arcul acela trebuie să țină tensiune pe braț”, a explicat autorul postării. Dacă este ținut în acea tensiune, explică acesta, arcul se slăbește, nu mai are presiunea respectivă cu care a fost conceput și nu mai șterge corect parbrizul. „Ajungi să-ți schimbi ștergătoarele, că nu-ți spală bine, nu ești mulțumit că nu sunt bune și dai alți bani, altă distracție. Nu îl lăsa ridicat, pune-l jos. Dai cu o soluție de dezghețat, dai drumul la aerul condiționat la maxim și ai terminat, în câteva minute nu mai ai probleme. Folosește racleta dacă trebuie”, încheie acesta. Vezi articolul complet

[data-focus-scheme="dark"] { color-scheme: none; } Warband, With 2025 wrapped up, we wanted to take the opportunity to look back at the year and all the happenings in Darktide! We released more content than ever for Darktide, so let's take a walk down memory lane. We’ve had four major free updates, each coming with an assortment of features and changes! Nightmares & Visions Battle For Tertium Bound By Duty No Man’s Land We also released two new DLC classes! Arbites, announced at Warhammer Skulls! Hive Scum, our final release in December last year! Complete opposites, both in playstyle and what side of the law they operate on. Both still added new ways for the Mourningstar’s forces to battle the ongoing threats on Tertium. Eleven events were released in 2025, just slightly missing the mark to make them a monthly occurrence. All but one of them were also brand new. The Waking Giants Unrelenting Hordes A Day at the Theatre Communication Breakdown Admonition Ascendant Inferno Rotten Armour Light the Fuse! Smuggled Munitions Stolen Rations Day of Atonement Some other new things we added included a brand new Elite enemy, the Plasma Gunner, who quickly began to terrorize players during missions. We’ve added a new Weapon Family in the Power Falchion and two new weapon marks, one for the Boltgun and one for the Bolt Pistol! There were also sweeping balance changes throughout the year, polishing up weapons and fleshing out entire talent trees for all of the base classes! Talent tree reworks for Ogryn, then Veteran, Zealot and Psyker Reworks and improvements to x weapons Ogryn Cleavers, Shovels, Clubs, Power Maul, Grenadier Gauntlet, Ripper Guns Autopistols Devil’s Claw Swords Blaze Force Greatswords Tactical Axes Shock Mauls Eviscerators Helbore Lasguns Combat Shotguns Double Barreled Shotguns Assault Chainswords & Chainaxes Vigilant Autoguns Tweaked pacing and enemy balance! We’ve had an assortment of quality of life changes and improvements throughout the year! Updated the Havoc game mode, overhauling the ranking system, adding campaigns, new modifiers and tuning the existing ones. Reworked the mission board, allowing you to choose missions and difficulty separately and reworking how difficulties are unlocked! Auric was also turned into its own difficulty, rather than a modifier on top of Damnation Increased the total Operative slots to 9! Added a Dodge Counter to the HUD and reworked the Stamina Bar! Added so many bonding conversations and banter! Added the ability to de-select talent tree nodes without having to deselect the talents linked to it below! We added an Aquila Welcome Offer to the Commodore’s Vestures, a one-time purchase for players to receive an Aquila pack for a heavily discounted price. And as of the latest free update in December, we added a brand new Operation: No Man’s Land and a new Ogryn Personality, the Heavy, voiced by Tim Bentick! So to wrap up, we landed on four major updates, two new classes and multiple quality of life and balance fixes. 2025 has been a busy year for us on the Darktide team. We are happy with last year's releases, and we are not aiming to slow down in 2026! To tease a bit, we can tell you that the next class has already been in the works for quite some time now, and we can’t wait to show you more when the time is right! Before that we will have another release though, so you will have to wait a bit, but we are pretty sure you will like this one too. Darktide is certainly going places in 2026! We’re super thankful to you, our community, for sharing our passion and excitement for this game and bringing it to life together this past year. We can’t wait to see what you think of what’s coming this year” That’s all for now. We’ll see you in the Mourningstar. – The Darktide Team Vezi articolul complet
