GameStop is preparing for Black Friday — or Thursday, as doors will open at 3 p.m. on Thanksgiving — but if you’re willing to venture into the store, you can score some huge savings. Whether you want to buy a Nintendo Switch or are looking to purchase cheap games for loved ones, GameStop has you covered this year.

From November 28 through November 29, you will be able to get a $25 gift coupon when you purchase a Nintendo Switch system at GameStop. The system will still cost its normal $300 price, but a copy of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is also included. From November 30 through December 1, the same deal will apply to the purchase of a Nintendo Switch Lite system at its regular price of $200.

A similar deal will give you a $25 gift coupon with the purchase of a PlayStation 4 Pro, and the Xbox One X system will come bundled with NBA 2K20 for only $350.

The best deals you’ll find, however, are on individual games. You will be able to get major third-party games like Devil May Cry 5, Nier: Automata, and Rage 2 for $20 each. Other major deals include The Division 2 for just $12, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare for $38, and Borderlands 3 for $30. Though Anthem was not well-received, you’ll only need to spend $5 to try it out for yourself.

Though Nintendo is notoriously stingy with its deals during the holiday season, you can still buy several Switch games fat a cheap price during Black Friday. Mario & Rabbids Kingdom Battle will be available for $20, as will several different Lego games on the system. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild should be one of the first games any new Nintendo Switch owner plays, and it will be available for just $40. With enough content to keep you playing for hundreds of hours, it could be the only Switch game you need to buy for the new players in your life.

You can wait until Thanksgiving if you want to shop the GameStop deals at retail locations, but they will also be available online starting at 9 p.m. ET on November 26. Given that winter is quickly approaching, being able to purchase them from the comfort of your home is certainly a luxury.

All Call of Duty games in order, by release date and chronologically

e3 2021 missing games call of duty

Call of Duty is one of the most successful video game franchises of all time. The original Call of Duty set a new standard for first-person shooters, the series' online multiplayer work has been a must-play for gamers for nearly two decades, and Warzone has been one of the top battle royale experiences of late.

The series has covered a lot of warfare, from World War II to futuristic fictional wars in 2187, but never in any set order. Players have been bounced around from era to era with each annual COD release and even revisited the same conflicts multiple times from different perspectives through direct sequels and remakes.

Although it's one of the most successful video game franchises out there, Call of Duty's quality varies significantly, with some fantastic entries in the series, but many mediocre ones as well. But which Call of Duty games are worth your time and which ones should you skip? To answer that question, we've ranked all the mainline entries in the series, with details about why you should or shouldn't play that particular game.

Does Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 have Hardcore mode?

In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, players have access to a wide variety of multiplayer game modes including Team Deathmatch, Search and Destroy, and the new Prisoner Capture. One of the most popular modes in the series is Hardcore, which has been in the series for years. This intense mode removes the HUD and increases damage across the board. But does this mode appear in the new Modern Warfare 2?

Here's what you need to know about the Hardcore mode in Modern Warfare 2.
Does Modern Warfare 2 have a Hardcore mode?
When Modern Warfare 2 first launched, it didn't have a Hardcode mode, much to the disappointment of fans. Instead, the game had a mode called Tier 1, which was basically a rudimentary version of Hardcore mode, with some missing features. For instance, there's no HUD, whatsoever, no hitmarkers, and no killfeed, which made the mode hard to actually play in some cases. Thankfully, Activision finally did add Hardcore more at the start of 2023, replacing the Tier 1 mode from before.
