One of the biggest differences between Halo Infinite and previous entries in the series is that its multiplayer is free-to-play. Not only has this allowed Halo Infinite to climb the free-game chart with ease, but it also allows for a lot the same aspects seen in other free-to-play games, such as seasonal content that’s designed to be temporary. But it appears that one such piece of seasonal content will likely be a consistent part of the multiplayer from now on....

The Repulsor allows players to launch objects, including enemy Spartans, and deflect projectiles. In addition, players can use the equipment to repulse themselves high into the air in order to access hard-to-reach areas of maps. As a result of these multiple uses, it is doubtlessly effective at gaining the upper hand in multiplayer engagements. Recently, one player pulled off an incredible play using this new feature.

Halo 2 was the first title in the series to prominently feature Big Team Battles, and it looks like Halo Infinite will be stepping it up a notch. Halo 5’s Big Team Battle upped the ante from previous titles with an impressive 16-player PvP action, but Halo Infinite’s BTB offers a whopping 24-players. This game mode will pit twelve players against each other on a large map, all equipped with Halo Infinite’s weapons and abilities....

Many in the gaming community have been looking forward to Halo Infinite for quite some time. Ever since the initial reveal trailer back in E3 2018, Halo fans have been extremely excited. However, for the past two years, the level of new information regarding this game and what players could expect from it was found lacking, to say the least.

343 Industries took to the official Halo YouTube channel to release the first track from Halo Infinite, “Reverie,” which had been previously featured in the Xbox Games Showcase Halo Infinite gameplay demo. It’s a lot more subtle and slow than some of the other installments in the franchise have been, but fans can recognize the clever use of musical themes from other Halo games.

Because 343 Industries released Halo Infinite without a co-op campaign, its multiplayer game modes are among the only ways fans can interact with each other, and they encounter desync troubles when hits don’t register as they should. Halo Infinite fans first noticed the problematic desync around the launch of the FPS, but even with Season 2: Lone Wolves having begun, players continue to share their grievances with attacks not hitting like they otherwise would....

While many first-person shooters have a melee function for close-quarters combat, few are as integral to the gameplay experience as in the games in the Halo series. It is important to understand the ability and use it often in matches, as it is very effective in battle. A single melee can deplete an opponent’s shields, while a second can finish them off. In addition, meleeing an enemy in the back is an instant kill....

The photo offers a first look at the Halo TV series’ star associated with his upcoming role. It may not feature Schreiber in the suit or helmet, but it allows fans to visualize what the Halo TV show might be working towards. That the photo is taken in front of a height chart also adds some energy to it. Master Chief in both the games and books is known to be 7 feet tall....

The new Halo Wars 2 trailer provides viewers a bit of narrative leading up to the events of the game. Nearly three decades after the events of the original Halo Wars, and shortly after Halo 5: Guardians, Captain James Cutter and his crew stumble upon the Banished, an enemy force that broke away from the Covenant. In the trailer, an artificial intelligence named Isabel explains the evil-doings of Atriox, the Brute leader of the Banished....

Hamburger SV was finally relegated from the Bundesliga amid chaotic scenes on Saturday. The only ever-present since the league was founded in 1963, “der Dino” went down fighting after 54 seasons by beating Borussia Moenchengladbach 2-1. The game ended with lines of police on the pitch after fans behind one of the goals lit flares and pyrotechnics, throwing some onto the pitch and sending a huge cloud of black smoke over that side of the stadium....

ABU DHABI (Reuters) - The death of an old friend and mentor has doubled Lewis Hamilton’s determination to win Sunday’s title-deciding Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. The Mercedes driver paid a moving tribute on Thursday to Aki Hintsa, the McLaren team doctor and fitness expert who played a key role in convincing the former champions to give him a Formula One debut in 2007. “Whilst I have that fighting spirit in my heart from the last races I’ve done, I come here with almost double the power in the sense that I feel I want to win this race more so for him,” the Briton told reporters....

Mercedes team boss Ross Brawn feels that Hamilton has a lot more to offer and that he was still adapting to the new team. “When a driver of Lewis’s calibre joins a team, there is massive expectation but every driver takes a little time to settle in, to understand the nuances,” Brawn said. Although he dropped back at the British Grand Prix due to tyre problems, he has managed to score the highest points in his last three races....

Louisville is about a 4.5-point favorite, with a total of 139, in Midwest Regional action at Lucas Oil Stadium (9:45 p.m. ET, CBS). John Calipari is 12-11 straight-up against Rick Pitino. Ten of those losses, though, came before Calipari arrived at Kentucky. As leader of the Big Blue, Calipari has owned Pitino and Louisville. Under Calipari, Kentucky is 4-1 straight-up, 3-1-1 against the spread versus Pitino’s Cardinals. In the late December meeting in Lexington, the bigger Wildcats dominated on the inside, outscoring the Cardinals 17-6 on second-chance points and 18-6 in the paint en route to a 73-66 win....

“This video on gives wrong information. It says when a person stops breathing, give chest compressions. That is wrong. If the person’s heart is still pumping, you do not do chest compressions – you start rescue breathing.” This reader is correct that victims who are not breathing – but still have a pulse – would get artificial ventilation rather than CPR from a healthcare provider. Any EMT or paramedic would certainly check a pulse, but in layperson CPR the standard of care is to perform CPR on anyone who is not breathing – no need to check a pulse....

Sunday marks the first night of the holiday, also known as the Festival of Lights. For the next eight days, Jewish people will gather with friends and family to light their menorahs and remember a miracle that God performed thousands of years earlier. When Antiochus IV Epiphanes ruled Judea, the land known today as Israel, he outlawed the Jewish religion and ordered everyone to worship Greek gods. After his soldiers marched into Jerusalem, they desecrated the Second Temple and erected an idol....

Leaving no stone unturned in her pursuit of an Olympic quota, Nethra rose above the waters to jump out to an early lead that she never relinquished. She steamed ahead of countrymate Ramya Saravanan and secured a historic Tokyo Olympics quota in the Laser Radial class with a race to spare. Nethra broke barriers in sailing by becoming the first Indian woman to qualify for the Olympics. She made yet more history after becoming the first Indian sailor to earn a direct quota through an Olympic qualifier....

A video posted on Twitter by ABC15 reporter Nicole Grigg showed a man and a woman with cameras outside the Maricopa County elections headquarters. Kari Lake, the Trump-backed Republican candidate for governor, is facing off against Secretary of State Katie Hobbs in a closely watched race for governor. “They have their own cameras rolling, pointed right at the drop box,” Grigg wrote. “A woman here says she is here to get Vitamin D....

The White House is now considering candidates from the military and Congress. One option is to elevate Acting CIA Director Adm. William Studeman. Other contenders: National Security Agency chief Rear Adm. John McConnell, retired Air Force Gen. Lee Buffer and Rep. Norm Dieks.

Sometimes that’s easier said than done. “I can just remember from the Indiana game (last week) how many opportunities I had to take over and put my name on the game, and I didn’t take advantage of that,” he said. “I just wanted to make sure that we did a good job of executing down the stretch and try to put the game in my hands and on my shoulders....
