L4D2, gmod, and Republic Commando together was my first purchase, it was when I got my first laptop in high school. I’d probably give L4D2 the first game credit.
What a great day
This is all assuming Microsoft and/or Acti don’t cancel it, as well.
It’s also a bit funny to me that they’re giving a year-ish long timeline to release a novella which was already at least developed enough to have cover art.

2560. Over seven years after Covenant forces invaded the planet Criterion, its human survivors are still struggling to rebuild amid mounting resentment toward the Unified Earth Government. When separatists ambush a reconstruction convoy and steal critical equipment, Colonial Administration Authority Marshal Imani Havel uncovers a conspiracy far more dangerous than local rebellion.
With contact from Earth mysteriously silent and Criterion’s defenses stretched thin, Havel’s pursuit leads through abandoned industrial ruins and a vast graveyard of human and Covenant warships orbiting the planet. But as shadowy off-world operatives emerge from the darkness, she realizes the stolen resources are only the beginning—and that an unimaginable threat has already been set in motion.
Outmanned, outgunned, and with no Spartans coming to the rescue, Havel and a battered UNSC assault force must expose the enemy’s true plan before Criterion’s violent past comes crashing down upon its fragile future....
Due to release later in 2027.

Oh yep, I totally missed the paragraph on the source, good catch
Firefight was not the thing that campaign evolved was missing, I’m expecting a lot of those circular areas of the prequel missions where they sent in a few waves of enemies to be recycled into the firefight maps
I still have yet to actually order with an AI system. Plenty of restaurants around me have them, but an employee always cuts in before I can order.
Celebration inbound, danger close
Theres some really interesting concept art at the end, presumably concepts for the Infinite sequel. The most interesting one to me is the crashed Infinity with what appears to be a functioning frigate docked or at least in the air.
Also, finally, an official depiction of the primordial:
The original plan was to keep expanding infinite, but the player retention numbers didn’t support that idea. You could tell it was already going downhill when they stopped doing the story cutscenes for the multiplayer operations.
The CE remake was cool and all, but I think 2 and 3 remakes would have been such a waste, especially if they tried to keep recycling the Reach AI used in the CE remake.
It’s crazy to think five years after the release of Infinite that Halo 7 was barely in early planning. I have seen projections that an Activision Halo likely won’t come until 2030, but Halo 7 by HS would have taken just as long. When they said Infinite was going to be a ten year game, they really meant we wouldn’t get another full Halo game for ten years, oof.
There has been quite a bit of speculation ranging from Halo Fest is canceled to Halo Fest is being rebranded to Xbox Fan Fest Seattle so I appreciate some kind of info about it. Most of the other info can wait, but this one affects fans who have already paid for flights, hotels, and made any other travel plans for an event coming up fast.
I’d probably try to refund my tickets and just explore the Seattle area if they tried to turn it into Fan Fest, I want to go to an all-Halo event
Buckle up.

New boosters:
Integrated Extinguishers - For the Helldivers who like to play with fire, we have the Integrated Extinguishers Booster which reduces the time to extinguish flames if you accidentally set your teammates ablaze.
Surplus EAT Allocation - Enjoy two free uses of the Expendable Anti-Tank (EAT) Stratagem per mission; that's enough to grant a full squad one single-use rocket launcher each, provided of course that all squad members employ the proper equipment distribution protocol as standard.
Maybe I can pretend my old 4670K is new again
