As with any situation involving human players, difficult scenarios can arise if a team decides to abandon a teammate in Halo: The Master Chief Collection. Once that happens, the abandoned players are at the mercy of the larger opposing team, as their competition is given an unfair advantage.

LONDON (Reuters) - Lewis Hamilton lost a battle but regained a rival after Sebastian Vettel won Sunday’s Australian season-opener for Ferrari.

BARCELONA (Reuters) - A drained but happy Lewis Hamilton hailed an “awesome” Sebastian Vettel on Sunday after winning a Spanish Grand Prix that the Briton described as the “rawest” of fights.

With the release of Halloween Ends, yet another attempt at rebooting the tale of Michael Myers comes to a close with questionable success. Some enjoyed the conclusion to David Gordon Green’s trilogy, with some fans considering it a return to form for the franchise, but the consensus doesn’t seem to be in their favor.

However, those of you who were hoping to design their own kick-ass jet-pack flying Spartans may be sad to hear that you can’t create your own load out, according to this week’s Bungie Update. The inability to create your own class sucks, but at least you have an option to mix up your starting weapons and abilities a little; unlike all the other Halo games that just put you in the armor of an Elite or Spartan....

Aside from confirming that Master Chief, an Elite Zealot and an unnamed ‘Spartan Warrior’ would be characters featured in the game, the newly redesigned Covenant Grunt revealed last month was given the ‘Storm’ classification.

Clearly, the video draws inspiration from the older 3D shooters like Quake, which all but pioneered the online multiplayer shooting experience. The graphics in the clip are rough, with unfinished, squared edges abound, just as they often were in the late ’90s. The video also features a distinct lack of hit markers or indicators that are nearly ubiquitous in modern shooters, hilariously illustrating just how difficult it used to be to discern where shots were coming from or exactly when players had hit an enemy....
