Gears 5 Versus Multiplayer Tech Test to begin on July 17

Gears 5 Versus Multiplayer Tech Test to begin on July 17
Gears 5 surprisingly didn’t get a full reveal at E3 2019 last month, as Microsoft chose to showcase the new Escape multiplayer mode during its E3 press briefing. This multiplayer focus will continue this month with the upcoming Gears 5 Versus Multiplayer Tech Test, which will kick off on July 7 on Xbox One and Windows 10.
If you’re an Xbox Game Pass subscriber or have already pre-ordered the game, you’ll be able to download the Tech Test on July 17, but the first play session will happen on July 19 starting at 10 a.m. PDT, and will end on July 21. A second play session is also set for July 26-29.
Here are the different game modes that will be available during these two multiplayer tech tests:
  • Bootcamp, a new training mode for players new to the Gears universe.
  • King of the Hill, a fan-favorite mode included in previous Gears games.
  • Escalation, which the team describes as “our updated competitive gametype.”
  • Arcade, which is described as “a new and approachable multiplayer gametype.”
  • Tour of Duty, a series of challenges where players can earn content such as an exclusive Tech Test Banner and three Versus Weapon Skins
The Escalation mode will be revealed first at the ELEAGUE Invitational on July 13-14, and The Coalition also plans to share more details about the Arcade mode next week. The campaign remains quite a mystery for now, though we already know that it will be playable in coop with up to three players. Gears 5 will be released on Xbox One and Windows 10 on September 10, but Xbox Game Pass subscribers and owners of the game’s Ultimate Edition will get early access on September 6.

10 app icon redesigns: The good, the bad and the ugly Redesigns happen. Whether a certain look has gone out of style, a brand's direction has changed, or it's just time for something fresh, many popular apps have changed the design of their icons. Instagram just changed its app icon, and while a new look was probably a good idea, many aren't happy about it.   nstagram is far from the first app to go through this. Sometimes it's a home run, but it's rare. More often a changed icon either takes a while to get used to or is just plain bad. Occasionally, the redesign lives in infamy.  May notable icon redesigns came after after Apple transitioned from iOS 6 to iOS 7, introducing a new design philosophy that departed from the skeuomorphism (think: leather texture and wood trim) of the past and embracing a more flat, simple aesthetic. Apps like Messages, Phone, Mail and Weather dropped the gloss in favor of minimalism, and plenty of third-party ap...

GE GAS18PSJSS Top Freezer Refrigerator with Autofill Pitcher review:

 GE GAS18PSJSS Top Freezer Refrigerator with Autofill Pitcher review:  Get automatic water pitcher fill-ups from this top-freezer fridge The Good The Autofill Pitcher is a unique feature that works well and seems practical for daily use -- a rarity with top freezers. Despite the plain-looking design, the fridge feels sturdy and well-constructed. The Bad Storage space is cramped to begin with, let alone with the Autofill Pitcher taking up space on the top shelf. Cooling performance was also pretty unexceptional. The Bottom Line The Autofill Pitcher is a borderline ingenious fridge feature, but the GAS18PSJSS isn't well-rounded enough to be a top pick. for price and more click here
