This is followed by a title screen that directs you to watch a five-minute multiplayer demo on Battlefield’s official site, which is not yet available. The release date then flashes on-screen.This makes three Battlefields in a row to be released in late October, which–if patterns repeat–put them a week or two ahead of Call of Duty’s annual November release."

"Riot have unveiled the first work-in-progress look at the visual overhaul for the game’s iconic Summoner’s Rift map, which will be arriving in the Public Beta Environment “shortly”.“Given the importance of Summoner’s Rift to League of Legends, the fundamental structure of the map remains untouched,” reassure Riot on their blog. “Flashable walls, turret ranges, lane sizes, brush interaction and ward placements are exactly as they are on the current map. The intention is to keep moment-to-moment League of Legends the same while improving gameplay through additional clarity.”"
