The awards will be handed out on Thursday, February 7th, during the 2013 D.I.C.E. Summit in Las Vegas, and the ceremony will be streamed live on Machinima.com starting at 7:30pm PT. Nerdist head honcho/comedian Chris Hardwick will assume hosting duties for the event, replacing longtime host Jay M

The MX-9 is a fantastic SMG , with one of the highest mobility ratings in the entire game (96), as well as a staggering fire rate (86) and some of the highest damage (30) out of all SMGs in COD: Mob

In Modern Warfare and Warzone , mobility is an often-overlooked weapon stat that is rarely highlighted in builds but goes a long way towards making them more viable. Mobility helps with movement speed, but other handling characteristics, like ADS times and sprint to fire speed, usually benefit from attachments that increase mobility as well. These attributes, plus other handling characteristics like reload speed, go a long way towards making a Call of Duty build feel good and can contribute heavily towards the overall strength of a weapon se

Players can expect this weapon to perform for them right away, but tweaking it with certain damage-improving attachments, such as the Large Caliber Ammo or MIP Extended Light Barrel, will turn it into an unstoppable force, capable of destroying anything that crosses its path in a matter of milliseco

Call of Duty: Mobile has a few features that makes it particularly unique compared to other Call of Duty games . Although hesitant at the thought of playing a mobile first person shooter game, many players found the controls to be surprisingly intuitive. Call of Duty: Mobile features two modes of fire: automatic fire in which the character will fire his gun anytime an enemy is within it’s reticle, and manual, in which aiming and firing are separate buttons which the player must manually activate. Its automatic firing mode provides a good solution for players who are not quite as skilled or well-versed in Call Of Duty Mobile maps of Duty or mobile first person shooters in general, while the manual fire mode rewards skilled players by giving them a leg up on the competit

The MSMC is the most superior on this list when it comes to fire rate, but all of that is wasted on its very low accuracy. Even its range is the lowest on this list. It has a damage of 40, an accuracy of 37, a fire rate of 92 and a range of 40. Its mag size is also disappointing and because its a gun meant for close quarters combat, if one were to run out of bullets, it’ll most likely be right in front of an enemy who’ll waste no time in finishing off whosoever is unlucky enough to be in that situat

Concerning what this new Zombies mode will look like, there isn’t much to go off, but if it’s anything like previous games, teamwork will be paramount. Generally speaking, players begin the game with a simple side arm, and must kill zombies in order to gain the currency needed to upgrade their weapons and abilities. Sticking together, watching each other’s backs, and not being greedy with money are all surefire ways to increase a player’s chances of survival. Although some Call of Duty games feature to pseudo story within their Zombies mode , it’s likely that Zombies in Call of Duty: Mobile will not, given that there is no story in any other aspect of the g

For those who have not played too much of the Zombies mode earlier, Mystery Boxes are basically random weapon generators that give players the chance of landing some extremely powerful weapons very early on in the game. Perk-a-Colas, on the other hand, are consumables that grant users random perks, based on those present in the multiplayer m

The cordite may not be one of the best guns out there, but that doesn’t mean it’s a terrible gun. When it was first introduced in COD: Mobile, almost every player wanted to get their hands on it. There are now so many cool guns in COD: Mobile that it’s hard to just pick one. The cordite has a damage of 39, an accuracy of 46, a range of 53 and a fire rate of 80. It can be seen that the cordite is clearly superior in fire rate to the best SMGs and the sound it makes when firing is just so satisfy

As opposed to the regular Zombie mode present in Treyarch’s entries to the Call of Duty franchise, Undead Siege does not feature map choice and plays out on one, huge map instead. The map in question is “Isolated”, known from COD Mobile’s Battle Royale m

Ranters, are there any games that you think the AIAS has unfairly overlooked? Do you find any surprises among the nominations? And who would you pick to win the major categories? Let us know in the comments be

In order to truly turn it into a death machine, players might want to equip it with accuracy-enhancing attachments, such as the OWC Laser-Tactical and the Tactical Foregrip A, bringing the accuracy score all the way up to an

A good compromise build for the M13 includes a zoom optic and a Monolithic suppressor for a bit more range and stealth for Warzone . 50-round magazines will provide extra ammo but won’t be as slow as 60-round ones, and Stippled Grip Tape in combination with the unique M13 Skeleton stock will boost the gun’s handling to a very noticeable degree. Because of the PKM’s natural heft, a full mobility-focused build will still leave it with low recoil and high accuracy, plus a huge ammo count. the 18.2″ Compact barrel, Snatch grip, Stippled Grip Tape, FSS Close Quarters Stock, and 5mW laser will do the tr
