Fortnite
Fortnite is the biggest game in the world and I would love to see it back in Taw. When it was in Taw, the only problem was the leadership. Lots of in fighting between the officers, but other than that, recruiting was fine, and it had good attendance at events. With a good solid team, this could easily become one of the strongest teams in Taw. If you like to see this game or any other in Taw please fill out the Future games form.
Chapter 2
The big change in Chapter 2 is the destruction of the old island and the replacement of an entirely new landscape. You'll notice a few familiar landmarks and some names that seem very similar, but this is basically an entirely new experience. Now you're not just fighting for the thrill of the hunt - virtually every action that you take earns you experience points. The game now very much prioritize doing things rather than hiding, making it a much more frantic experience than before.
It should be noted that 'Save The World' version of the game still exists in roughly the same state as when the game was launched. There was no dramatic overhaul of the players vs. Husk defense game, though there has been a roadmap that plans out where this version of the game is going. Save the World is still a pay-to-play game for the foreseeable future, and its still one that uses many of the same building and shooting skills that have made the spinoff so much fun.
Gameplay
A fair bit of what makes Chapter 2 so special isn't necessarily the gameplay elements that have been added, but rather what's been taken away. Yes, this new version does introduce fun gimmicks like being able to pick up fallen players and the ever-useful fishing pole, but what's more surprising is that it got rid of a lot of what's been added over the course of the last several years. Amazingly, Chapter 2 really seems to be much better for all the trimming that it's done.
Chapter 2 is very much a battle royale shooter at its best. You're still going to drop out of the familiar party bus, but once you're on the ground you'll absolutely find yourself in a world that's just a little more competitive than what you once found. There are no more vehicles, no more mechs, and for better or worse there are no fun little additions that help you zoom around the map or take out players from a position of relative safety. There's you, the cover you can find, and the cover you can make. It adds a real sense of tension that the game has been lacking for some time, especially if you've not yet memorized the new map.

Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord is an action role-playing game with strategy elements.The player
builds up a party of soldiers and performs quests on an overhead campaign map, with battles
being played out on battlefields that allow the player to personally engage in combat alongside their troops.
This takes place on the continent of Calradia 210 years before Mount & Blade: Warband. Bannerlord.
There is eight major factions, each composed of competing minor factions with their own goals.
You will be able to use an advanced dialogue system to try to persuade non-player characters to do
things that they want. While conversing with a character, the player will need to fill up a progress bar
by successfully pushing their arguments. if the bar is filled, the character will give in to the player.
If the character does not give in to charm alone, the player can employ the game's bartering system
to try to bribe the character, this system is also used for regular transactions between the player and
merchants. If the player repeatedly fails to persuade the character, a deal may become impossible
and the relationship between them may be negatively affected.

Me and a few others are creating a discord and playing this game. If you wanna join us here is a link. to our group. If you would like to see this game or any other in TAW please fill out the future games suggestion form.
ABOUT THIS GAME
Last Oasis is a Nomadic Survival MMO. Earth has stopped rotating, and the last human survivors need to outrun the scorching Sun in a massive Open World.
Walkers
Traverse the world on your walker: a wooden, wind-powered machine inspired by Theo Jansen’s amazing strandbeests. Walkers are mobile bases that can be adapted for travel, transportation, harvesting, and combat. Personalize your walker to fit your needs with a multitude of structures, attachments, and upgrades!
The Scorching Sun
The sun burns the land in the west, turning it to dust. In order to stay ahead of the obliterating sun, nomads must explore new territories that slowly emerge on the eastern horizon, where the Earth has long been frozen in impenetrable ice.
The Lore
After a cataclysmic event halted the Earth’s rotation, the planet was split into two extreme and deadly environments. Only a narrow region between the burning and freezing halves of the planet can support life. This region moves as the planet orbits around the sun, and all living creatures must migrate with it to survive. In order to keep moving, the remnants of humanity have built nomadic machines, and a walking city called the Flotilla.
Survive and Thrive
Survive by exploiting what’s left of the world: find a source of water, hunt ferocious creatures, fend off pirates, brew mind-bending Vitamins, and uncover hidden walker technologies. Build autonomous machines to harness the power of the wind. Claw your way from a ragged nomadic trader to the heights of a mercenary king, fleet commander, or a legendarily-rich merchant.
Trade in a Player Driven Economy
There are trade networks that stretch between the discovered oases. In this global, player-driven economy, smart and quick traders can take advantage of supply and demand to make huge profits. Other nomads may opt to produce or hunt down rare and highly localized resources. It’s always wise to consider potential competitors first, though. Threaten another clan’s operation, and you may become their next target.
Travel and Explore an MMO-Sized World
The large, open world is made up of many interconnected oases that are over 100km2 each. Potentially thousands of oases exist simultaneously – the number automatically adjusts to accommodate the size of the playerbase. Explore them to reveal new and unique biomes while plundering their limited resources. Some nomads may pitstop to refill their water. Others will settle for some time, but ultimately everyone will pick up and voyage east to escape the encroaching sun.
No Offline Raiding
The Wasteland is a safe, open stretch of desert that sits between the last livable oases on Earth. It can be used to travel to adjacent oases, or as a place to hide your walker and safely log off with all your belongings.
Melee and Walker Combat
Last Oasis features dynamic, skill-based directional melee combat. Nomads can choose their weapon from a wide range of both one and two-handed swords, maces, axes, and quarterstaves. If you prefer ranged combat, you can customize your walker with weapons like ballistas, scattershot guns, repeaters, or even giant slingshots. Specialize in one or become a more versatile fighter by trying to master them all.
Building Bases
Construct portable bases or more permanent fortifications to protect yourself from hostile nomads and wildlife. Stone walls offer superior defense, while lighter wooden structures are able to be packed on large walkers and relocated.
Solo Experience
Individuals and small groups of players have as many opportunities as clans to prosper. Clans might control territories and lead the economy, but cunning traders, skilled mercenaries, agile hunters and pirates will find niches that better suit solo play. While solo play will always be a viable playstyle, social features like voice chat make it easy to meet new friends and team up to kill some of the largest creatures.
Clans and Warfare
Grow your clan into a political and economic power. Control a region and get rewarded with a supply of local resources gathered there by roaming nomads. Make alliances to protect your income, because war is always around the corner. Enemy clans will challenge your control and threaten to take away everything you’ve built.
Grappling Hook
Master the vertical movement. Every Nomad owns a grappling hook; it’s a tool that can be adapted to almost any playstyle. It’s all about your skill: some struggle to climb the smallest rocks, while others swing through forests outspeeding the fastest Walkers.
Sandworm
Dubbed "The Long Ones", these roaming creatures are the biggest threats nomads will face. The worms are ravenous. Once the beast focuses on a walker, it loses sight of everything else. In order to defeat the worm, experienced nomadic hunters must band together. Entering its territory underprepared will mean certain death. If the hunters succeed, they’ll have a reason to tap a few barrels of fermented cacti. They’ve just gotten their hands on some of the rarest and most sought-after resources – enough to make their entire crew rich and powerful.

After the Iran-US RQ170 incident, in which a UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) was
hacked and captured through cyberwarfare, the US army secretly revived the
development of the RAH-66 helicopter program for special operations. The goal
was to develop a highly maneuverable, highly advanced stealth war machine for
impervious and mountainous terrain, that can deploy unhackable low-range
drones to operate in high-risk environments. The program was a full success,
and the Comanche special units seemed unstoppable in their missions.
But then the blueprints leaked through a whistleblower website, and so every
group and power, who could afford it, built and modified the Comanche for their
own purposes. A new era of helicopter warfare had begun.
Comanche is a modern helicopter shooter set in the near future. You have the
choice to delve into the evolving singleplayer and make a difference in a conflict
of global proportions or compete with other Comanche players from all around
the world in the explosive team-based multiplayer modes.
Steer your high-tech Comanche into air-to-air dogfights. Switch to your drone
seamlessly, and engage in close quarter combat inside buildings and tunnel
systems to initiate or repel hacks.
Comanche will include an evolving singleplayer mode. Use your skills to fight
yourself through the first conflict, which will extend on a global scale.
Show your skills in different squad based multiplayer modes!
Play either as the attacker or defender in the explosive objective-based multiplayer
mode Infiltration or coordinate with your team to find the fastest way to achieve
the most take-downs in the fast paced multiplayer mode Blackbox.

Monster Hunter World
Monster Hunter: World is an action role-playing game developed and published by Capcom. A part of the Monster Hunter series, it was released worldwide for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in January 2018, with a Microsoft Windows version following in August 2018.
In the game, the player takes the role of a Hunter, tasked to hunt down and either kill or trap monsters that roam in one of several environmental spaces. If successful, the player is rewarded through loot consisting of parts from the monster and other elements that are used to craft weapons and armor, amongst other equipment. The game's core loop has the player crafting appropriate gear to be able to hunt down more difficult monsters, which in turn provide parts that lead to more powerful gear. Players may hunt alone or in a group of up to four players via the game's online multiplayer.
Monster Hunter: World received critical acclaim upon release, with critics praising how Capcom was able to make the game more accessible to new players and to Western markets, without detracting from the series' core gameplay elements and enjoyable difficulty, and fully taking advantage of the computational capacity of modern consoles to create living ecosystems, with some even calling it the best in the franchise. Monster Hunter: World is the best-selling game in Capcom's history, with over 15 million copies shipped by January 2020.
An expansion pack, Iceborne, was released for consoles in September 2019 and for Windows in January 2020, and reached over 4 million sales by January 2020. Capcom anticipates synchronizing future updates and events between console and Windows versions by April 2020.

War Selection
Here is an exciting new game that launched October 9, 2019.
Here is a quote from a fellow Taw member who plays this game: Hey. I found this Free-to-Play RTS game called "War Selection" a few months ago, and I instantly fell in love with it because it reminded me of the times that I used to play C&C: Tiberium Wars. I tried multiple modern RTS games, but I liked this one the most. It has an active development team constantly bringing new updates and they are doing a great job.
