While some people are claiming that melatonin is an anti-aging hormone, studies show melatonin levels decrease as we age. These claims are based on the observation that older people need less sleep. That observation is a common sleep myth. In fact, older people need just as much sleep as younger adults. Considerations Before Use Before even thinking about using a supplement to fall asleep, spend about a week re-training your body’s sleep habits....

It’s not a secret that Call of Duty has been facing a huge problem in the form of cheating. Some players testify that they may run into a blatant cheater ever two to three games, while streamers like TimTheTatman and Shroud caught players like this during their streams who were not afraid that they’ll get banned. Now, Activision is attempting to cut this out at the source by suing websites actively promoting cheating and enabling hacking in the FPS game....

While Call of Duty Elite may not have made the best impression after launching with a ton of problems, once the good stuff like DLC hit, players began to flock to the stat-tracking and community service’s premium sector at a rate of 1 in 5. Considering the game was the biggest entertainment launch in history, it goes without saying that Activision would like to replicate that success. It’s hard to anoint the myriad community features and chances to win in-game prizes as the main source for Call of Duty Elite membership, but if Beachhead Studios can find a way to preserve what’s already great about Elite, but make it more functional, that would be worth a second go around....

Prior to this, Call of Duty multiplayer was entirely staged within the annual mainline installments of the franchise, but core multiplayer modes have fallen in post-launch importance with the success of Call of Duty: Warzone. While it is to be expected that the scale of Warzone will draw some attention away from core CoD multiplayer, the fact that this core multiplayer is a paid-for online experience makes the lesser care that it is receiving all the more controversial....

While Call of Duty’s popular battle royale mode Warzone was recently leaked for mobile devices, the CoD mobile team has been hard at work keeping the game’s current battle royale fun to play. Multiplayer modes on the mobile game have also gotten plenty of love from the developers, and now it is looking like scorestreaks are the next area to get a big addition. The team has teased the return of the Advanced UAV, but interestingly, a fan had the idea first....

Namely, one of Modern Warfare’s most popular features was its remarkably complex Gunsmith feature, where players could outfit their weapons with a staggering number of attachments across a variety of slots. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 may well be taking a step back from this complexity, however, according to Twitter leaker TheGhostOfHope. RELATED: Rumor: Call of Duty 2022 Reveal Details Leaked Though some players may have been thrilled by the opportunity to customize and tweak the two iconic returning weapons in Modern Warfare 2, TheGhostOfHope claims that the game won’t allow players to go to such extremes as they previously could....

Using the piano keys for every control including movement and aiming seems extremely difficult, but Deano Beano makes it look easy by going on a four-kill streak in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. Each slight movement is triggered with a piano key, so as the streamer is lining up shots to hit, notes are being played. After a quick triple kill, the streamer moves on to sprint down a hallway to slide under fire and hit a shotgun kill....

Boasting a long career and playing on several teams since the beginning of the Call of Duty League, Blazt is as experienced as it comes as far as competitive play is concerned. Starting off on the Los Angeles Guerrillas before moving to the roster of Ground Zero, Blazt and his teammates found success in competitions like the CWL Dallas Open. Despite playing in minor competitions over the past several months, Blazt decided it was time to do something new....

While recent nerfs to the MAC-10 saw a fix to its pay-to-win blueprint glitch, the weapon remains viable. With the base gun only seeing a hit to its headshot damage, NICKMERCS sees no reason to stop using the gun until a further nerf is carried out. With the gun still boasting an insane fire rate and controllable recoil, NICKMERCS believes that the gun should continue to get use in Call of Duty: Warzone....

The weapon is one of Season 6’s free weapon additions, joining the AS Val assault rifle within Modern Warfare and Warzone. NICKMERCS wasted no time putting together a dangerous new loadout built around the SP-R208, equipping the rifle with attachments that make it even more deadly. While it is still a new addition and it is a bit early to say, fans have been quick to call the weapon the best sniper in Warzone....

Snoop Dogg has had quite a busy year so far. The rapper has extended his presence into multiple facets of media, video games included.

Today, Activision Blizzard gave gamers a first look at Snoop in the game, what to expect from his Operator Bundle, and how to play as the iconic rapper in Call of Duty: Mobile....

The news comes the way of VentureBeat/GamesBeat, who interviewed Andy Wilson, the relatively new chief operating officer of Sledgehammer Games who joined the team in 2019. RELATED: Activision Won’t Confirm Call of Duty Developer for 2020 Release Unfortunately, there’s not much else we know about these “projects” given the fact that Wilson only mentions them and doesn’t go into any detail about them whatsoever. As previously mentioned, the studio last worked on Call of Duty: WWII and given its history, it’s pretty easy to deduce that the games are going to be a part of the Call of Duty franchise....
