Killing Floor 2 has long been one of our favorite shooters. It regularly shows up in the fabled halls of out top 100, and we've pointed to it as an example of great grenade design and mesmerizing gun animations. Heck, it's even one of a few games we pointed to last year when we declared a new FPS golden age. OK, so the game is good. Fine. But one of the reasons it stays good and we stay so enamored with it is its near constant stream of big content updates. There's a truly staggering amount of new stuff live now as part of the second annual Halloween update, Halloween Horrors: Monster Masquerade.

Rising Storm 2: Vietnam has been creeping through the jungle all year long, sneaking up on us to become one of our favorite multiplayer shooters of the year—part of what we called the “FPS golden age,” no less. RS2 is one of few options for folks who want a game that handles between authenticity and fun, and the new update is bringing a lot more boom to the jungle party.

We love it when a new MMO drives onto our radar, but it’s rare that a new game looks as interesting as Crossout. It’s a vehicle-based MMO, yeah, but that’s not the best description., Crossout looks like there was a head-on collision between Borderlands and Mad Max, and that twisted wreck then got welded on top of World of Tanks.

In Crossout, the Mad-Maxian vehicle apocalypse is packed with lunatics. Literally: there’s a group called the Lunatics. Across the wasteland, factions have sprung up with their own sense of style and taste for combat. As a player in this new free-to-play MMO, you’re clear to join any faction and change your allegiance often. Where should you start? Let’s meet the cast of characters.

World War 2 is familiar ground for drama, but it’s for a good reason. Unlike so many other regional conflicts, World War 2 was the last time we saw entire continents engaged in an all-out war effort, their populations mobilized, and their existence on the line. For Steel Division, the unpredictable and unstable nature of real-life history gave developer Eugen Systems provided the perfect backdrop for the campaign’s missions. They’re more than a good inspiration, though.

It’s not easy to pull off the perfect attack in Eugen Systems’ new RTS, Steel Division: Normandy 44. With so many individual units slugging it out on quickly shifting front lines, sometimes it’s all you can do to just keep up with the rush. A perfect attack is possible, though. It’s just a matter of planning ahead and taking advantage of every opportunity you see. Here’s how you do it.

After the well-received Wargame series, developer Eugen systems is taking us back to World War 2 with Steel Division: Normandy 44. The new setting lets us experience Europe’s most famous campaigns in the close-up, tactical RTS style we loved in Wargame, but it also changes the dynamics quite a bit by rewinding technology by a few decades. Helicopters? Gone. Tactical nukes? Nope. Adapting and thriving on the analog battlefields of the 1940s is going to require some new strategies.
