Online services for Pac-Man 99 will be discontinued later this year, though some game modes will continue to be available for some past the October 8 deadline.

Pac-Man 99 is currently available for free for those with a Nintendo Switch Online membership, with multiple paid themes and other DLC available to download from the digital console marketplace.

However, online services for Pac-Man 99, including its public and private battle royale modes are set to be delisted permanently in October, at which point Nintendo will also halt the distribution of free custom themes for the game, according to a new post on the Nintendo website.

Modern Warfare 2’s border crossing map Santa Sena has caused a lot of frustration for fans and developer Infinity Ward has finally responded to the feedback.

Speaking to Dexerto, multiplayer design director Geoff Smith explained that Infinity Ward didn’t necessarily aim to create a perfectly balanced map with Santa Sena, but instead just wanted something fun.

“Map-wise, we try to have a balance between experiential maps and the more competitive maps,” he said. “Not all of them are super sweaty, balanced ones. There’s ones where ‘hey, it’d be really cool to fight over a border crossing.’”

The map was criticised due to its narrow layout but also because of the bumper-to-bumper traffic.
