Welcome to Active Reload! This week James, Grant, and Steven open up the show going over the Game Awards nominations! Grant is really pining for Arc Raiders even though it literally can't be game of the year. They break down specific nominations and their descriptions, such as what does Art Direction even mean? Plus, their picks for specific categories!
After that, there are some very reputable leaks and rumors that are pointing to the possibility of an actual Half Life 3 announcement. The guys break down how we've come this far and if the meme will actually become reality.
Finally, Black Ops 7 is absolutely bombing according to initial Steam numbers and physical copy sales. With Arc Raiders and Battlefield 6 clearly outperforming the FPS Juggernaut, the guys discuss if this will be a turning point for the Call of Duty franchise or if they'll even learn the right lessons from it all.
That and more on this week's episode of Active Reload! Remember to rate, follow, like, and subscribe!
