Command & Conquer Mobile Game Unveiled at E3

Good news for the fans of the Command & Conquer series: a new game was revealed during the EA Play presentation at E3. However, this is not a full-scale game, but a version developed for mobile devices. Still, it should offer a lot of fun.

An attempt to capitalize on Clash of Clans’ popularity

Command & Conquer: Rivals takes all the most important features of RTS and transforms them into a mobile game, developed for a small-scale play. This simple 1v1 combat game is an obvious attempt to use the enormous popularity of Clash of Clans in order to join the successful market and take a share of the available money.

What Command & Conquer: Rivals will be like

Players will be able to choose between two fractions well-known from the full-scale Command & Conquer series: Nod and GDI, each of them having their own unique units, such as the mammoth tank. Even though the whole map will be displayed on the screen, your rivals will be covered with the fog of war. The main goal of the game will not be attacking the opponent’s base, but fighting for control over nuclear missiles, which a player can gain by getting access to three point-accumulating pads. This is extremely important, as you can eliminate your enemy by using two such missiles.

EA expects a big success

It remains to be seen if the familiar features will attract the fans of Command & Conquer. After all, the mobile version will be simplified, which only allows to retain some of the elements known from the full-scale game. What we know though, is that this game can earn a lot of money for EA, as the quick and addictive gameplay is what the mobile gaming is all about.

So far, the early version presented at EA Play is far from the finished product. It could still take a lot of time to implement the necessary changes and make C&C: Rivals ready for the official release.

Will Halo 6 be an Improvement on Halo 5?

Halo 6

With both Sony and Nintendo maintaining their strong positions in the world of console gaming, the pressure is now on Microsoft to deliver some new exciting titles in order to regain its place alongside the two mentioned companies. It was expected to happen during Microsoft’s Showcase on June 10th, when Halo 6 was rumored to be announced.

What to expect from Halo 6

The new game of the Halo series is expected to be a continuation of Halo 5. It is very likely that we will be able to start exactly where the former game left us. As the final part of the trilogy which started with Halo 4, Halo 6 will keep Cortana as a main villain and the leader of an AI rebellion, whose goal is to reclaim the galaxy by eliminating the biological life.

Criticized for its lacks in the storyline, the Halo series will have a chance to make up for the past shortcomings with the release of Halo 6.

There is a lot to improve

Considering the fact that both Halo 4 and Halo 5 were not really highly rated by fans, the Halo series has to improve a lot in order to go back to its past glory. After all, it used to be one of the most popular online multiplayer games. Nowadays, with the growing fame of the battle royale type of games, Halo 6 has to be a really good title if it wants to reclaim the top spot in the shooter world. As impossible as it sounds, there is a chance that Halo 6 will be a success, knowing that Microsoft really needs it.

When to expect Halo 6

It is rather unlikely for Halo 6 to be launched in 2018, considering the great amount of work that has to be done. However, the next year is a safe bet. Halo 6 is expected to be released on Game Pass and PC just like other Xbox exclusives. So it looks like Halo will return to PC for the first time since Halo 2.

Why Apple Doesn’t Want You to Jailbreak your Phone

Apple has just published a support document that shows some of the side effects of jailbreaking. Over time, the company has always tried to leave no room for those who might want to take advantage of iOS’s vulnerabilities. Since jailbreaking is almost as old as Apple’s operating system, the only way the tech giant is fighting against this phenomenon is by not signing older firmware anymore, once a new release of iOS is in place.

Side effects of jailbreaking, according to Apple

On June 16th Apple has posted a document which says that jailbreaking can cause serious security issues in the operating system. It seems that such modifications can actually destroy the security layers, thus making users’ phones extremely vulnerable to viruses and hackers. Not only that, but using a jailbreak tool can bring even more disadvantages. Battery problems and all kinds of unexpected crashes are also some of the possible side effects.

Certain apps could stop working

The company is also stating that if you want to jailbreak your phone, then you might get some unexpected problems with some of the services from your device, such as FaceTime, iCloud, Apple Pay and many others. When it comes to third-party apps, you could even experience some unusual behavior regarding their notifications. Apple is also suggesting that if you start having serious issues with the operating system, then the damage cannot be undone. This applies to both your iPad and your iPhone, as they could become not usable anymore, once a new iOS update would be launched.

It is understandable that Apple is trying to advice users against using unauthorized tools that can modify the structure of iOS, but we all know that fans of jailbreaking will most likely continue to do as they please. If you don’t know much about the jailbreak tools though, we would recommend you to keep your devices as they are, since you really might not be able to repair some of the damages.

Easiest Ways to Transfer your Files from Android and iOS to Windows 10 or 8

Mobile devices are a very important part of our lives, allowing us to create and use various types of files. However, at some point, we might want to move pictures or videos to our computer in order to organize and store them. It is important to know which apps to use and how to do it safely. In this article, we will talk about five easiest and safest ways to transfer files from Android or iOS to Windows 10 or 8.

  1. USB Cable

Definitely the easiest way to transfer files, but not always the best, as not every type of file can be transferred with USB. Once you establish the connection using your USB cable, you can simply drag and drop files to your computer.

  1. Bluetooth

Before you attempt to transfer files, make sure that your devices feature Bluetooth. Similar to the previous option, this method is fast and safe, but also has its limitations.

  1. Third-party apps

Another way to transfer your files is by using third-party apps. When it comes to transfers from Android or iOS to Windows 8, you can use AirDroid, Bluetooth File Transfer and Wi-Fi File Transfer. These apps allow you to transfer files via the local Wi-Fi connection they create. All three are available on Google Play.

There are apps dedicated to only one mobile OS. Roamit is a transfer app for Android devices, whereas iTunes can transfer your files from iPhone and iPad.

  1. Email app

If you want to transfer small files, such as documents, you can always do it by sending an email.

  1. Cloud storage apps

This method can not only help you transfer files, but also back them up at the same time. Some of the most popular cloud storage tools are Google Drive and Dropbox.
