In a brief statement about it on Halo Waypoint, 343i said that whilst it knew “many players have enjoyed this new mode”, it had been “steadily declining” and “starting to fall short of the quality bar”. Consequently, the dedicated playlist will be “rotated out” and will instead “roll into Quick Play” at the beginning of November. “On Tuesday, Sept. 20, the dedicated Land Grab playlist will be rotated out of matchmaking,” the blog post reveals....
The free event runs until 4th January 2022 with ten rewards available. As explained on Halo Waypoint, those rewards will be rolled out one-per-day until 30th December, with a few extra days afterwards to catch up on missed items. Unlike the previous Fracture: Tenrai event, the Winter Contingency unlocks are across ten tiers, with your first match each day awarding one tier in the pass. That means players can login across ten days and complete the pass by playing one match per day, as explained in this Reddit post....
Produced by Showtime and Steven Spielberg production company Amblin Television, the show has been nearly eight years in the making. Filming had begun in Budapest in early 2020, though was interrupted by the coronavirus pandemic, Deadline reported. Shooting is now back underway, with around 60 per cent of its first season in the can. It’s been a long slog to get here. Originally announced by Spielberg back in 2013, Microsoft’s Halo TV series finally got greenlit at Showtime five years later....

I don’t get paid to work on Saturdays though, so instead, HigTen will be kicking off tomorrow (Friday, December 9th) and it’ll be running from 10am GMT all the way through until clocking off work time at 5pm GMT. There’ll be cakes, forfeits and lots of fun but most importantly, I’ll also be using this time to raise funds for Cancer Research UK. But what is HigTen? You might be wondering....
The near 100-hour epic was dubbed “a saga for the ages” in Tom’s Assassin’s Creed Valhalla review. Many must’ve agreed as the game can also boast the biggest launch in the history of the series. Makes sense, really, as it arrived just in time for the launch of the PS5 and Series X as a cross-gen release. Despite bouncing off Origins I’ve definitely been tempted to pick it up for myself after all the positive buzz - and at this price, I may finally be ready to sharpen my axe....
Thanks to manufacturers like Royal Kludge, Redragon, and Akko, there are some really good keyboards and keyboard parts out there that allow you to create an entry-level custom mechanical keyboard for less than those pre-built gaming keyboards, which will likely be better than them as well. In this guide we’ll highlight some of the best budget mechanical keyboards that you can customise, and go through the easy and inexpensive customisations you can do to them to make your own mechanical keyboard that’s perfect for you....
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom was named on screen during the latest Nintendo Direct - but many fans still had questions. Namely, was that “tears” as in crying? Or “tears” as in something being torn up? It’s a subject we debated this week during our most recent Newscast - above - as both meanings would make sense in the context of Zelda’s story. But only one way is actually correct, and Nintendo has now confirmed to Eurogamer… it is tears as in crying....
As with the similarly hued PlayStation Studios animation that precedes all of Sony’s recent games, the new PlayStation Productions ident serves up a star-studded roster of iconic PlayStation characters, including God of War’s Kratos (and BOY), Uncharted’s Nathan Drake, Horizon’s Alloy, The Last of Us’ Joel and Ellie, Ratchet & Clank, Astrobot, and more. Unlike the PlayStation Studios effort, however, the characters aren’t superimposed onto the PlayStation logo in a Marvel-esque fashion, but rather projected like giant blue holograms into an endless blue expense....
But while Soap is certainly a key part of the series, there are still some aspects of his persona that are left untold. Well, this list of unknown attributes just got a little shorter, thanks to his Modern Warfare 2 bio. Here, it is revealed that Soap got his nickname not because he is fastidious in the shower, but because he is good at “cleaning house”. In fact, this is something he does with “remarkable speed and accuracy in room clearance techniques and urban warfare tactics”....

You see, Capsakid is one of the Special Evolutions found in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, meaning that it doesn’t evolve like most other Pokémon. You can’t just level it up, and will need to use a specific Evolution Stone to trigger the evolution. Here’s where to find a Capsakid if you haven’t caught one already, and then how to evolve it into Scovillain in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. On this page: If you’d like to learn more about your Paldea adventure, visit our Pokémon Scarlet and Violet walkthrough....

A reseller called Gameroom found the collection of SNES, Sega CD, Genesis, Saturn, and 3DO games, which were put in storage when a local store closed in 1994. Plenty of copies of Madden were found, but some sealed gems were also discovered. That includes sealed copies of Chrono Trigger worth over $2400, Final Fantasy 3 worth around $1300, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: Turtles In Time worth $1400 (according to Price Charting)....
I take the shot. I miss. He spots me and shoots back. He misses. What proceeds is a lengthy and tense sniper battle, ending with a panicked up-close duel with our sidearms in the mud by my friend’s body. The distance closed after neither of us proved particularly proficient with our rifles. This encounter could have ended sooner. If I’d predicted his movements better I could have caught him in retreat, if I’d counted his shots I could have been ready to move in when he was empty, or if I’d simply landed my first shot when he emerged from the treeline, none of this would have happened....
The news was unveiled during this evening’s Ubisoft Forward livestream. The announcement also featured celebrity performer and choreographer Todrick Hall (who you may recognise from his appearances on RuPaul’s Drag Race). He released a popular single called Nails, Hair, Hips, Heels in 2019, and this song is set to be included in the line-up for Just Dance 2022. The game is due to feature 40 tracks in total, and along with Todrick Hall’s music you can expect to find Level Up by Ciara and Believer by Imagine Dragons....

The Metal Gear Solid creator has been releasing a steady stream of mysterious teasers for his upcoming game for a while now, and today brings us one more. Like his previous ones for Elle Fanning and Shioli Kutsuna, this latest teaser shows a blanked out visage with some cryptic wording written across it (which, in this case, reads “How come?”). And, as with those previously mentioned teasers, many have already guessed just who that blanked out visage belongs to....
