Crytek has rolled out yesterday Crysis 3 Multiplayer Beta for PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 along with a new gameplay trailer which presents two different multiplayer game modes.
"Hunter Mode:
This multiplayer game mode is all about the survival of the fittest. There are two teams, initially comprised of two permanently cloaked “Hunters”, and up to fourteen CELL troopers awaiting extraction. Each trooper slain respawns on the Hunter team to prey on their former allies, building to a frenetic climax. If any of the troopers survive the round, the hunters lose. Whichever way you play, Hunter Mode delivers a heart-pounding test of strategy and survival.
Crash Site Mode:
This multiplayer game mode is the ultimate King of the Hill type experience. An Alien dropship deploys a pod at random around the map. Players on each team must remain near the dropped pod in order to capture the zone and accumulate points. Each alien pod holds two shields players can utilize defensively as weapons. In addition, each Crash Site map will have a “Pinger”, a CEPH-constructed walking weapon of mass destruction. But be careful, other players can hijack the Pinger while you’re inside of it!"
Crysis 3 will be available starting from February 19th, it can be pre-ordered from the official website.

For several years, the Symbian platform, considered by many surpassed by the time and by the competition from iOS, Android and Windows Phone, has lost significant market share and generated increasingly smaller revenues for Nokia.
Nokia has said in an official announcement that "The Nokia 808 PureView, a device which showcases our imaging capabilities and which came to market in mid-2012, was the last Symbian device from Nokia".
One of the main reasons why Nokia decided to drop Symbian is the very high demand decrease (67%) in one of the most important markets for the company, China, where the consumers have switched to Android and Apple smartphones.

With the expansion of the Windows Phone App store, Microsoft has also announced a new feature for Windows Phone 8, which was actually present from the beginning but has not been used so far: the installing of applications from a memory card.
Unlike Windows Phone 7, which has allowed to the manufacturers to provide terminals with internal storage which can be expanded with a memory card but imposing the encryption and impossibility of direct access or from other terminals, Windows Phone 8 preferred to use a more comfortable MTP support. This option, probably caused by the disappearance of the Zune sync application, adds now the possibility to download applications and install them manually from the memory card.
This option affects only the installation mode, without the possibility to use the memory card as a place for storing the data of the installed applications.
Compared to Android, Microsoft has not made concessions: even if the apps are stored and installed on the memory card , these require the Internet access to be checked and compared with the user's shopping list.
Applications can be downloaded very easily now, an update of the Web Interface service is offering to the Windows Phone Store the "Download and install manually" button for downloading on a PC and installing them later.
