Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War requires 250GB on the PC

Activision has confirmed that Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War will require up to 250GB of storage space at launch on PC. This is for the gamers who will be running the game in 4K with ray-tracing enabled. For the standard non ray-tracing, the game will require 175GB for the offline story mode and 50GB only for the multiplayer mode.

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War will feature 4K visuals, uncapped frame rates, Ray Tracing Shadows, NVIDIA DLSS, and Reflex Technology.

It is possible that Black Ops Cold War could be a lot closer to its PC size on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, as the consoles will be able to harness the power of new ray-tracing enabled GPUs with resolution up to 4k.

Sony has said PlayStation 5 will offer players more flexibility on how they manage their storage on the console, enabling users able to configure installations and choose to install just a game’s multiplayer or delete the single-player campaign once completed.

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War will be released on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S on November 13, 2020.

The Oxygen OS Open Beta 9 is now live for OnePlus 7T and OnePlus 7T Pro users. So, what’s new in this Beta? It brings with it improved system stability and fixed general issues, updated Android Security Patch to 2020.10. The update also fixes the flashback issue when switched to the front camera in particular cases. 

On its official blog, OnePlus says, “Please keep in mind that this is beta software. These builds are sometimes not as stable as our official OTAs generally are.

To replace the iPhone 12 camera, you will have to visit an official Apple technician

The iPhones are quite expensive in India and if something goes wrong with the device outside of the warranty, one usually resorted to getting their devices fixed by third-party repair shops. It looks like this may be difficult for iPhone 12 users. iFixit has discovered that replacing the camera module of the iPhone 12 causes some issues. It's not just a simple error screen that one gets. However, it looks like the same problem does not affect the iPhone 12 Pro. 

As reported by GSMarena, “iFixit explains that Apple has changed its training manuals. Starting with the iPhone 12 series, changing the display and camera requires the use of the System Configuration tool, which will connect to Apple’s servers before reprogramming the new component to work properly.” 

During the era of the iPhone 5s, one could only fix the fingerprint sensor on the iPhone via an authorised Apple repair. This made sense as the fingerprint sensor is vital for security. You can check out the iPhone 12 camera swap test video below.

 

Speaking of the new iPhones, the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro are on sale in India, with the iPhone 12 Mini and iPhone 12 Pro Max going on sale later in November. The smartphones announced earlier in October can be purchased from the online Apple Store, and from authorised retailers across the country. Interestingly, the new iPhones are yet to be made available on both Flipkart and Amazon. You can learn more about the iPhone 12 devices here. 

If you are an iPhone user, then know that the Apple One subscription is now available in India. You can learn all the details here.

Apple One subscription service now available in India: How to Subscribe

Earlier last month at the annual Apple iPhone event where Apple announced its iPhone 12 portfolio, the company also announced its unified plan for subscription services called Apple One. Apple One consists of three plans, one for individuals and two aimed at families, and while it was announced, the availability was set for “later in the year.” Good news folks, Apple One has gone live around the world, including India, just as Apple's iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro hit the store shelves.

Apple One is the company’s way of consolidating its plethora of subscription services into one. These services include iCloud storage subscriptions, Apple music, Apple Arcade, TV+ and News+ and Fitness+ for countries where its applicable. India is only getting two of the Apple One plans, namely the Individual and Family plans. The individual plan offers 50GB of iCloud storage space and access to Apple Music, TV+ and Apple Arcade. The individual plan costs Rs. 195/month. The Family Plan, which can be shared with up to 5 people, costs Rs 365/month and comes with access to all the same services, but increases the combined iCloud storage space to 200GB. Unfortunately, the Premier tier isn’t available in India.

Currently Apple Music costs Rs 99/month for individual and Rs 149/month for a family subscription. Apple Arcade, similarly, costs Rs 99/month and can also be shared between a family of maximum 5 people. The most expensive component of Apple’s services is the iCloud Storage, which alone costs Rs 219/month for 200GB. If you add it all up, a family can end up paying quite a bit to make the most of their Apple devices. If you do subscribe to the individual or family tiers, individual users you can still add more iCloud storage to your own iCloud ID in case you need more than the 200GB allotted.

How to Subscribe to Apple One

If you’re interested in subscribing to Apple One, doing so is going to be very easy. The steps are listed below

·      Open the Settings app on your iPhone/iPad.

·      Tap on the banner with your name on it at the very top.

·      Tap subscriptions.

·      Wait for the Apple One banner to appear.

·      Tap on Apple One Banner.

·      Choose your plan.

And that’s pretty much it. One reason why the Premier tier isn’t available in India could possibly be the fact that News+ and Fitness+ as services are not yet available in the country.

Call of Duty: Mobile announces special one-day Halloween event

Call of Duty: Mobile’s Halloween events are still going on. However, the developers have one final event up their sleeve. Call the Undead Fog, the event will see the introduction of zombies to battle royale. Not only that, Halloween itself will see a special one-day-only event on the new Alcatraz map. 

During battle royale matches, players now have to deal with zombies besides other players. However, as a bonus, zombies will drop items such as loot when defeated. On top of this, the map will feature mystery boxes scattered in various locations. These boxes include rare items and weapons. 

On October 31 however (UTC), dense fog will envelop the entire map. This will make it considerably harder for players to spot enemies or even zombies. As such, long-range weapons like  https://www.digit.in/news/gaming/call-of-duty-mobile-season-11-anniversary-update-everything-you-need-to-know-56808.html are pretty useless unless you are skilled for quick scope headshots. It should be noted that the fog will only happen on October 31, while the zombies will be on the map till November 5. 

Alongside this, there is also the featured event that will reward players for completing missions and tasks in battle royale. This includes anything from Halloween-themed skins to an Epic calling card called Devil’s Horns. Besides this, the game's Credit Store also gets an update with an Epic weapon blueprint for the Man-O-War and an Epic calling card. 

Of course, the rest of the Halloween-themed events are still going on. This includes the Halloween-themed Standoff map that is decked out in Jack-o-Lanterns. There is also Pumpkin Confirmed, which is pretty much the same as Kill Confirmed, but with two key differences. First off, the dog tags are replaced with pumpkins and secondly, the matches feature 20 players in two teams of 10 each. Needless to say, things get a bit chaotic.
