This money, which will go toward different campaigns via the crowdfunding site GlobalGiving, was raised through two ventures: Purchasing the Relief & Recovery REQ Pack in Halo 5, which was available through April 30 and offered players five permanent cosmetics of ultra-rare or better rarity and 10 boost cards; and purchasing MegaThread’s HALO Relief T-Shirt for $24.95, a campaign which ended on April 21.

In the Halo universe, Cortana is an artificial intelligence program who assists Master Chief in the field by relaying information, hacking systems, and in general serving as the talkative foil to Master Chief’s more subdued, quiet personality. Cortana is highly regarded as one of the most popular characters in the Halo franchise, second only to Master Chief himself, due to her likable personality and character depth.

Although it is true that Halo Infinite has been lauded for its ambitious open-world campaign and free-to-play multiplayer, it must be said that the latter has taken a while to significantly resonate with fans and provide that classic Halo multiplayer experience with a good variety of content. With the title always striving to reach these heights, the implementation of new game modes with the periodic arrival of seasonal multiplayer updates is the perfect way to do so....

Halo Infinite senior mission designer Tom French has confirmed that assassinations will not be in the game at launch. French explained that Halo Infinite is skipping assassinations for now because people turn them off anyway due to the gameplay disadvantage of being stuck in an assassination animation. But while Halo Infinite won’t have assassinations at launch, that doesn’t mean the feature won’t appear in the game at some point down the line....

Going into today’s Xbox Anniversary Stream, many gamers suspected that 343 Industries was dropping Halo Infinite early. November 15 marks the 20th Anniversary of both Xbox and Halo, making it the perfect time to announce a surprise launch of arguably the most anticipated game of this holiday season. As predicted, the Anniversary event concluded with the announcement of Halo Infinite’s Multiplayer Beta going live at the end of the broadcast, prompting many to jump in right away....

Halo Infinite was originally slated to be an Xbox Series launch title and would have hit store shelves in November of 2020. After an 8-minute gameplay trailer that many players saw as a disappointment, a couple delays pushed the release back to early 2021, and then to Fall 2021. Microsoft and developer 343 Industries seem to be confident in the release, however, as the first Halo Infinite esports event has reportedly been scheduled for late 2021....

While it’s going to be coming at some point in 2022 as confirmed by 343 Industries, the lack of campaign co-op at launch feels like more of a misstep now than ever before. Now that anyone can try Halo Infinite’s campaign, it’s clearer than ever just how fun it would be to play with a friend. Although that will be possible in the future, not having it now, when Halo excitement is at its peak, will lessen the co-op’s impact in the future....

Halo: Combat Evolved, the first game in the series, released in 2001 on the original Xbox, receiving high praise from critics and changed the FPS genre.

Hamburg, the only ever-present in the league since its formation in 1963, lost at Eintracht Frankfurt 3-0 and would have been demoted for the first time had Wolfsburg not fallen in Leipzig 4-1. Wolfsburg remained in the relegation playoff place - two points above Hamburg in an automatic relegation spot - ahead of their final games next Saturday. Wolfsburg will host already-relegated Cologne, while Hamburg’s hopes of survival depend on beating Borussia Moenchengladbach and a favor from Cologne....

Bottas completed a pole-to-flag victory in a race that amounted to little more than a procession, with Hamilton having wrapped up a fourth world title in Mexico last month and the Silver Arrows in safe possession of a fourth straight constructors’ championship.

ABU DHABI (Reuters) - Triple world champion Lewis Hamilton has taken inspiration from U.S. tennis great Serena Williams as he prepares for a Formula One title showdown with Mercedes team mate Nico Rosberg this weekend. Serena, along with her older sister Venus, has attended grands prix recently and Hamilton said he had been honoured to spend time with the 22-times grand slam singles champion. “I was actually with Serena last week in LA … she came out to Mexico (for the race) which for me was a real honour to have someone of her power, someone who has achieved so much,” Hamilton told reporters in Abu Dhabi....

And like the race for the White House, this year’s Oscar showdown has been full of split votes and divided loyalties. The Golden Globes gave their top prizes to “Atonement” and “Sweeney Todd.” But neither movie received a single nomination from the Screen Actors Guild of America, which is considered a better predicter of the Academy’s tastes. The directors’ and producers’ guilds also ignored both movies, preferring “The Diving Bell and the Butterfly....

This is thanks to his abundance of poems about love and life that still tug at the heartstrings even today. Celebrate his work and legacy with some of his best and most loving poems and quotes below....

When he played, it was like a poet entwining feet and ball to create magic that became etched in the hearts of many fans. Zidane is many things; a legendary player, an illustrator of football as an art, a talented manager and, above all, a man full of wisdom. It is wits that allowed him to get the better of other players, making him such a treat to watch in the process....

TikToker Matschulz filmed the pet by the ocean as they took a stroll along Byron Bay, in Australia. The dog, named Tash, disappeared beneath the foamy waves, but luckily was still on the leash as she popped her head out and happily trotted back to shore as the water receded. The short video, shared to the social media site earlier this month, amassed a staggering 16 million views, and can be seen here....

It is the first test for the Belgian coach, and he has already proven a point; four matches, three goals, four clean sheets and a last four berth has definitely given the fans some hope. Former Harambee Stars head coach Jacob ‘Ghost’ Mulee expects a difficult outing against The Swallows. “It is definitely going to be a tough match, Burundi have been playing well in this competition and were a hard nut to crack....

The study, which surveyed a broad audience of over 1,000 online game players, “explores the social interactions and experiences” of game players in America. This includes specific games, such as World of Warcraft and Minecraft, where players reported having positive experiences at 59% and 55% respectively. On the other end of the spectrum, Dota 2, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Overwatch, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, and League of Legends had 75% or more of players reporting that they’d experienced harassment....

Pollard, 29, has already started on his post-NFL plans with his own innovative company, Style Pro 31 (his jersey number). He already has the first of many cool products, too: a bathroom organizer called Smart Tray. “I stay busy with my mind, always wondering and trying to figure things out,” said Pollard, who won a Super Bowl with the Ravens two years ago. “Being in Baltimore, on the East Coast, not having the space in the bathrooms, always fighting over whose stuff goes where, we just came up with this idea there and ran with it....
