Battlefield 5 will be unveiled tonight at 9pm UK time, via a trailer posted online.
This morning, DICE developer Randy Evans teased the company"s big announcement using a p**p emoji - in an apparent nod to last week"s Call of Duty reveal.
Call of Duty"s official Twitter account teased the fact Infinite Warfare will be accompanied by a Modern Warfare remaster by replying to a years-old fan message.
Last night, DICE released the first snippet of in-game footage, although it was difficult to determine anything from the tease.
Still, some fans have said the character"s costume supports the rumoured return to a historical setting.
And, adding fuel to the fire, ex-Battlefield exec Ben Cousins has now posted the following message on Twitter, which links to PC World War 1-era shooter Codename Eagle.
There"s a live event in London tonight mark the announcement, and we"ll be giving up our Friday night pub duties to attend.
Whether your late-weekend routine entails reading music blogs, casually browsing the whole of the internet, or compulsively typing Radiohead next album release date into your search engine of choice, you were in for some strange news yesterday: Radiohead has gone missing! Well, sort of. The headlines coalesced around the choicest Radiohead puns (Radiohead have disappeared completely; Radiohead have erased themselves; Radiohead fade out; Not OK, computer!). The articles themselves all delivered the same basic details: Radioheads website is now just a blindingly white page, Radioheads Twitter page is suddenly tweetless, Radioheads Facebook page and Google+ page have gone similarly blank, and frontman Thom Yorke cannot be found for comment. (Band members Jonny Greenwood and Phil Selway seem to still be with us, though. Phewfor a minute there ...)
Upping the intrigue was the weekends other weird Radiohead news: On Saturday morning, some of the bands U.K. fans received leaflets in the mail (or in the post, as it were) containing the following cryptic message: Sing the song of sixpence that goes/ BURN THE WITCH/ We know where you live. And as the most fervent of Radiohead-heads will tell you, Burn the Witch is the rumored title of one of Radioheads many long-gestating, as-yet-unreleased tracks.
So, what does it all mean? Lets break it down: Theres a tour starting in less than three weeks. Theres probably an album coming soonish. There might be a single coming even sooner. But beyond that, well just have to wait and see. Despite what they might claim, Radiohead loves surprises.
General Hospital was the big winner at Sunday nights Daytime Emmy Awards. It won five prizes, including Best Drama Series. That was its 12th victory in the categorymore than any other soap. Combined with its four wins at Fridays Creative Arts Awards, GH finishes with nine awards total this year. Click here for thecomplete list of winners.
In addition to Best Drama Series, GH also claimed Best Drama Directing Team for the ninth time. And it swept through the male acting prizes, but Anthony Geary wasnt the star who took Best Actor. The eight-time winner was upset by his co-star TylerChristopher,who had never been nominated for Best Actor before this year and had never won an Emmy in any category. Best Supporting Actor was another surprise, with Sean Blakemore overtaking his GH co-star Dominic Zamprogna, while Bryan Craig won Best Younger Actor for the first time on his third straight nomination.
Daytime Emmys 2016: Complete Creative Arts winners list
Interestingly, all of this years drama acting champswere first-timers. Days of Our Lives won a pair of acting prizes: Best Actress for Mary Beth Evansand Best Younger Actress for True OBrien. This was Evanssfirst nomination and win for her role on Days, butshe is actually now a four-time Emmy champ. She won last year as a producer of the digital drama series The Bay, and she won twice more for that show at Creative Arts on Friday night: Best Digital Drama and Best Digital Drama Actress. In fact, Evans has never lost when nominated.
The Bold and the Beautiful also won twice. Veteran character actor Obba Babatunde claimed Best Guest Performer, while the show also took Best Writing Team for the second year in a row and for the fourth time overall. Counting its two victories at Creative Arts, B&B won four awards this year.
The Young and the Restless won the lions share of prizesat Creative Arts, but it had to settle for just one victory at the main ceremony: Best Supporting Actress for Jessica Collins(we raved about her episode submissions here). That brings its total this year to six.
But there were plenty of surprises outside the drama categories as well. The Talk won Best Entertainment Talk Show for the first time, upsetting the usually dominant Ellen DeGeneres Show, which has won the Talk Show prize nine times. But the hosts of The Talk (whom we chatted withlast week to discuss their nomination) lost the Entertainment Talk Show Host race to repeat winners Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan (Live with Kelly and Michael), who made headlines recently when Strahans upcomingdeparture from the show upset Ripa, who reportedly was not notified of his decision in advance.
The Chew won Best Informative Talk Show for the first time. But even though the shows hosts were namedBest Informative Talk Show Host last year, the television academy chose Mehmet Oz for The Dr. Oz Show this time around. It was the fourth overall hosting win for Oz, following victories in 2010, 2011 and 2014.
The Price is Right won Best Game Show for the sixth time, while Craig Ferguson (Celebrity Name Game) defended his title as Best Game Show Host.
Extra tookBest Entertainment News Program, while CBS Sunday Morning prevailed as Best Morning Program for the third time in four years. One more victory will tie it with Today and Good Morning America as the most awarded program in the category.

In 10 Songs is here to help, offering a crash course and entry point into the daunting discographies of iconic artists of all genres. This is your first step toward fandom. Take it.
For some of us, it takes a whileto get into Radiohead, if we ever get into them at all. Thats because its easy to categorize their music as serious, self-important, and depressing and it is, sometimes. But to dismiss itentirely would be to miss out on sci-fi landscapes, wild experimentation, hook-filled grunge, and even some dance beats here and there. And thats what this list is about. Like all of ourIn 10 Songsfeatures, these arent necessarily the 10 best Radiohead songs, but the ones we feel best represent the many sides of the band while also unveiling their sometimes hidden accessibility. If you can get into at least one tune, chances are youll find a whole lot more of them to like throughout their discography. And if you can get behind all 10, you just might be a convert.
But thats just our opinion. If you feel we totally missed the boat, leave your 10 favorite gateway songs in the comments section below. As any fan can attest, one of the best things about listening to Radiohead is disagreeing about Radiohead.
May Day marches in Seattle ended with several violent outbreaks by demonstrators that left five officers injured and nine people arrested, according to police.
Police reported being hit by rocks, batons and Molotov cocktails during Sunday clashes by black-clad protesters wearing masks and sunglasses.
Seattle Mayor Ed Murray released a statement commending police for their work in containing the protests while disavowing the acts of the demonstrators.
"It is unfortunate and deeply regrettable that in a city that goes to incredible lengths to respect First Amendment rights, there are some who disregard our values and engage in senseless acts of violence and property destruction," Murray said. "This city condemns any acts of physical violence against our police officers, and my thoughts are with the officers who were injured."
The protests had been trending for several hours on Twitter with the hashtag #MayDaySea.
Around the world, union members have traditionally marched on May 1 for workers" rights. In the United States, the annual events have become a rallying cry for immigrants and their supporters for better wages and fair work accommodations.
Seattle traditionally sees large, disruptive May Day gatherings. Last year, police arrested 16 people during demonstrations and in 2014 10 people were arrested.
In 2013, police arrested 18 people from a crowd that pelted them with rocks and bottles. Storefronts in downtown Seattle have also been smashed in previous protests, according to The Associated Press.
The Very Best Of Chicago 40th Anniversary Collection Full Album
CHICAGO Living to 100 is quite a feat, even if we"re talking about a bridge.
Four of Chicago"s bridges have turned or will turn 100 this year, bringing the total of city bridges to survive that long to 23, according to multiple sources, including the Chicago History Museum, Chicago Architecture and the book, "Chicago River Bridges."
The four bridges that opened in 1916 are: The Jackson Boulevard Bridge (Jan. 29); Chicago & North Western Railroad Bridge (July 30); Webster Street Bridge (Aug. 3); and Lake Street Bridge (Nov. 6).
"It"s pretty impressive that these marvels of engineering are still working given they"ve been in continuous operation," said John Russick, the Chicago History Museum"s Director of Curatorial Affairs. "And they"re well built, well maintained, and they really speak to the character of the city."
Three of Chicago"s bridges debuted in the 1800s. The city"s oldest bridges all opened in 1899 and include: the Chicago, Milwaukee, & St. Paul Z-6 Bridge (just south of Cortland Street); theChicago, Madison, & Northern Railroad Bridge (Around the 3500 block of South Kedzie); and the Illinois Northern Railroad Bridge (Around the 3500 block of South Central Park).
Of the 300-plus bridges in Chicago, 61 are drawbridges across either the Chicago River or Calumet River, according to Patrick McBriarty, the author of "Chicago River Bridges." More than half of those will be at least 100 years old by the end of this year. Only Amsterdam (62) has more drawbridges than Chicago, McBriarty said.
Russick said the bridges, even the city"s oldest ones, are "essential to ongoing daily life in Chicago."
"They are important and they still do what we need them to do for the city to thrive," Russick said.
Check out photos below of some of the city"s oldest bridges, courtesy of Chicago History Museum:

GameTime: Lakers Name Luke Walton as their New Head Coach | April 30, 2016 | NBA Playoffs
The most obvious move for Luke Walton must befuddle so many. After his run last fall as the temporary head coach of the greatest regular season team in NBA history, Luke Walton was going to get head coaching of his own this spring. He had his pick of almost any opening. And all the other options even the Knicks offered less dysfunction than the only job he wanted. The Los Angeles Lakers.
In returning to the Lakers, with whom he played the first eight and a half years of his career, Walton inherits any number of calamities that could ruin a coach. His point guard just turned 20 and occasionally acts half that age. His two other potential build-around players are barely older and still flawed. The team has no leaders. The club president who hired him may leave in a year, meaning the general manager could be gone too. And the former coach, winner of five Laker titles, looms on the horizon as the new executive ready to wrap his cherished triangle offense around Waltons neck.
The Lakers are the least-stable, least-sane, least-manageable of Waltons options. The chance is much greater that he becomes Randy Pfund than Pat Riley. As a franchise the Lakers are like an expensive sports car, so complicated to drive that only two giant personalities Riley and Phil Jackson have kept them from crashing into the guardrails. And it took rosters filled with the 15 greatest players in history to keep that from happening.
Riley started with Magic and Kareem. Jackson began with Kobe and Shaq. Walton gets the kid who videotaped a team-mate nicknamed Swaggy P talking about cheating on his fiance. The worst of the Clippers never seemed as bad as these Lakers. The team Walton takes over is nothing like the Warriors, who are one of the most cohesive, unselfish teams the NBA has ever seen. Any reasonable person would stay far away from the Lakers
But Walton also played on Lakers teams that won championships. And because of this he understands a truth that made his choice simple. There is nothing better anywhere in sports than to be a Laker when the Lakers are winning. And the coach who brings the winning back to LA, whether next year or in 10 years, will be rewarded with eternal love in a city where popularity runs as far as your last Golden Globe.
Having been handed the chance to try for history it would be foolish for Walton to say no. He may have had choices this spring but he really had no choice.

The Lakers who were last seasons disaster wont be around next fall. That tumble to the bottom of the standings existed to support Kobe Bryants long farewell. Walton gives the Lakers a respectable face to send out in free agency. He will be able to lure better players to Los Angeles even if they dont include Kevin Durant, who would bring instant credibility. And the Lakers could still win the draft lottery and land Ben Simmons or Dukes Brandon Ingram, giving them yet another young star to build upon.
While the Lakers might not be great next year they wont be as terrible as they were in the season just gone. Walton is the perfect coach to build them back. He brings positive experience from Golden State, whose success and popularity is the envy of almost every NBA team. More importantly, he brings an ability to relate to players that many gifted coaches do not possess.
Last December, Waltons friend Josh Pastner, now the coach at Georgia Tech, talked to The Guardian about the first time Walton coached as a volunteer assistant for Pastner at the University of Memphis during the 2011 NBA lockout. Walton, he said, had a natural gift to communicate, something that is essential in professional basketball.
There are two things he does, Pastner said then. Hes got a great knowledge of the game and thats important because players know when you know what you are talking about or not. But hes also got a great temperament He doesnt get too high or two low. Hes got a competitive desire to him but he keeps it very calm and relaxed.
The coach who rebuilds the Lakers will need an abundance of patience. Someone is going to have to get DAngelo Russell to play together with team-mates and keep Julius Randles development going. Walton brings the voice that might just be able to do that. And if he can, if he create Showtime again then he will be the rarest of stars in the city of stars. The one that everybody loves.
