Halo Studios has announced that Halo Infinite will be retired from the HCS esports circuit after the championship this year. It also seems that there will be no HCS in 2026 in order to make presparations for the next Halo title. This was inevitable, perhaps, but it’s still surprising to see the game being brought…

Modern Multiplayer Sucks
You know, I think most of us thought that games would only get better as time went on. Since the 90’s, every new generation of hardware brought major advancements in terms of features and gameplay experiences. Even in the seemingly-stale military shooter period of the PS3 and Xbox 360, we still saw advancements and could…
Halo Infinite Online Might Just Remain a Disaster
Halo Infinite has been an utter mess since the word “go!,” and it’s looking more and more like it’s going to stay that way.

Better Late than Cruddy
Recently, Bethesda announced that their two very highly-anticipated games: Starfield and Redfall, would be getting pushed back a bit to a 2023 release date. Their reasoning was simple: they felt that the games needed more time in the oven, and they didn’t want their projects to end up as the new Cyberpunk 2077. It’s pretty…
I’m Now Absolutely Convinced That ‘Free To Play’ Will Always Be Awful!
There was a time when I thought that free to play could be okay. I mean, I thought that it would exist mostly as another option alongside traditional paid games. I also thought that free to play games would also still be designed to be games first. Well, we’ve been dealing with this model in…
Big Team Battle May Finally Be Playable in Halo Infinite
For the past month, connectivity issues have plagued Halo Infinite’s Big Team Battle Mode, making it difficult to play at best and utterly impossible to enter at worst. 343i issued a fix on January 19th, but it seemed to do little if anything to solve the problem. The company will be putting out another hot…
