Call Of Duty: Warzone Adds DLC That Supports Military Veterans
Call of Duty: Warzone and Modern Warfare are bringing back a DLC pack that benefits military veterans. Activision’s Call of Duty Endowment charity, which helps place veterans in jobs after their military careers, has announced that the “Defender” DLC pack is coming back to the digital store because “in these difficult times, veterans need more help with employment than ever.”
The Defender pack includes 11 items in total, spread across multiplayer, Spec Ops, and Warzone. As when the pack was sold before, 100 percent of net proceeds will go to the Call of Duty Endowment.
The Defender Pack was previously available for Modern Warfare multiplayer, but this is the first time that players can bring this content into Warzone. Modern Warfare and Warzone share the same store. The Defender Pack costs $10 USD.
WWE Network Offers Free Tier For A Limited Time
For those that find themselves stuck at home, socially distant from their friends and relatives, WWE has a new option to keep you entertained. The company has announced that the WWE Network is unlocking much of its video library for free for a limited time.
In a press release from the company, WWE explained, “This unprecedented offering to WWE fans worldwide includes each epic installment to date of WrestleMania, plus, every Royal Rumble, SummerSlam and Survivor Series event; every NXT TakeOver and NXT UK TakeOver; and groundbreaking originals such as the entire WWE 24 docuseries, Steve Austin’s Broken Skull Sessions interview show, the recent five-episode hit, WWE Ruthless Aggression, and its 20-episode predecessor, The Monday Night War series.”
Additionally, recent episodes of Raw and Smackdown will be available, along with original series like WWE Untold and A Future WWE: The FCW Story. Live programming like the monthly pay per views, though, do not appear to be included in this option.

Call Of Duty: Warzone Gets Four New Weapons Soon
Activision is rolling out a slew of new Call of Duty content this week. Modern Warfare will receive a new map and Operator, who comes alongside two legendary blueprints (and a very good dog companion), while Call of Duty: Warzone is getting a handful of new weapons.
Four new guns are coming to the standalone battle royale game starting tomorrow, March 24: the 725, MK2 Carbine, .50 GS, and EBR-14. The guns will be appear in common and uncommon rarities, and each have their own distinct strengths, so Activision advises equipping them in loadouts and seeing how they fare.
The aforementioned new Operator, Talon, will also be playable in Warzone if you pick up the Talon bundle. The bundle includes two legendary blueprints, as well as two Battle Pass tier skips. You can read more about the Talon bundle on Activision’s website.
Call Of Duty: Mobile Gets Two New Game Modes
Along with a bunch of other additions across the Call of Duty franchise, developer Infinity Ward has detailed two brand-new modes coming to its on-the-go Call of Duty Mobile title.
The first mode is Rapid Fire, a limited-time event that sees players earning Operator Skills and Scorestreaks at a much faster rate. In addition to this added firepower, Rapid Fire makes ammunition completely unlimited for those more inclined to spray and pray. Rapid Fire will be available until Thursday, March 26.
Sticks and Stones is Call of Duty Mobile’s second limited-time event. A classic game mode in the Call of Duty series, Sticks and Stones sees players duking it out with a limited loadout–typically a crossbow and throwing axe–to see who can score the most points. While every kill earns points, the axe also provides the devastating effect of resetting your victim’s score when you kill them.
New Photo of Wonder Woman From Justice League: Mortal Surfaces
More photos from Justice League: Mortal have appeared online courtesy of a filmmaker trying to create a documentary about the abandoned DC movie.
Ryan Unicomb, who released an image of Armie Hammer’s Batman cowl on Tuesday, uploaded three more Justice League images to his Instagram page. Two of those images are cropped versions of an image released in 2018, but the third is a new look at Megan Gale’s Wonder Woman that differs from the images from 2015.
In the caption, the filmmaker said he can’t share anything more for now and there isn’t much excitement for the documentary from the studio or the people involved in the original production. He says he’s trying to gather up as much material as possible before he gives a pitch.
“For now these are all I can share. I know there’s MASSIVE interest in the story behind #JusticeLeagueMortal but there is pushback from the studio and most of the creatives involved,” Unicomb said.
“It’s understandably a sore point for many involved. We’re collating everything we have to be able to pitch it properly. It may require a Kickstarter or something at some stage, or it may not. I’m 5 years into the journey of getting this made and I VERY much appreciate your patience. I know how important this lost chapter is to us all; as movie goers, as comic readers, as pop culture fans. Rest assured we WANT to be able to show you EVERY costume properly. We WANT to show you the Batmobile. We WANT to show you the Fortress of Solitude. We WANT the artists who worked tirelessly for months to get their well deserved due. We’ll continue to do our best. Be well. Stay safe!”

Justice League: Mortal would’ve been directed by George Miller, a director of the four Mad Max movies, and, most importantly, Babe: Pig in the City. The film would’ve starred Hammer as Bruce Wayne / Batman, D.J. Cotrona as Clark Kent / Superman, Adam Brody as Barry Allen / The Flash, Gale as Wonder Woman, Hugh Keays-Byrne as J’onn J’onzz / Martian Manhunter, Santiago Cabrera as Arthur Curry / Aquaman, and Common as John Stewart / Green Lantern.
The movie was shelved in favor of Warner Bros. creating another Batman movie with Christian Bale as well as other solo movies such as Green Lantern starring Ryan Reynolds. A Justice League movie would eventually come out in 2017 with a completely different cast and its interesting backstory.

Right now, DC movies are reportedly looking at more R-rated content and mid-budget movies for HBO Max. There’s also been recent word of the Flash movie being “a different version of Flashpoint.”
The next DC movie on the slate is Wonder Woman 1984. That movie is currently set for June 5.
