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.

Parasite's Wake (Oct 20), Master Chief Omnibus (Nov 10), and Fall of Reach full cast audio drama (Nov 10) are all confirmed to still be coming, Fireteam Noble (2027) is also very likely still releasing, though physical copies do not exist yet, and there is at least one new novella slated for 2027 that it is unclear if it is releasing at all.

Reminder that is all from “an inside source” and not confirmed in any way. Grain of salt.

TLDW:

  • There were NO Halo games in full production at Halo Studios/343i, despite Halo Infinite being nearly 5 years old
  • There were some Halo games in the very early concept stages with no major work done, these were: Halo 2 Remake, Halo 3 Remake, Halo 7 and a Halo spin-off game based on the "First Strike" novel
  • First Strike takes place between Halo CE and Halo 2, and was intended to connect Halo CE and Halo 2 more effectively
  • First Strike was planned as a smaller, quick release game in-between large releases, with only 5 campaign missions, a Firefight mode and was planned to be finished and released by next year
  • Halo Studios was considering a strategy of adapting Halo novels into smaller games inbetween the major remakes
  • Halo 7 was reportedly still many years away, only a small team was working on the concept and overall vision
  • Right before the lay-offs, developers did reportedly present the concept of Halo 7 to Xbox execs, which included Campaign, PvP, PvE and Forge all at launch
  • The remaining Halo Studios team wants to also exploring using AI tools to help create smaller Halo projects, while outsourcing development of Halo remakes and potentially still make Halo projects internally
  • A source of Rebs claims that Activision has 0 intention to work with Pierre Hintze, the current leader of Halo Studios, Making it unlikely they'll ever work on a new Halo game again
  • Reb's sources strongly criticize Pierre Hintze's leadership and Matt Booty's, with a general lack of accountability across Xbox Game Studios sited as a major issue
  • They also speculate that Halo Studios will probably be eventually fully shut down

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.

2560. The galaxy remains fractured in the devastating wake of Cortana’s rise and the Created menace, while the Banished war machine relentlessly consolidates power across former Covenant space. To help counter these ongoing and emerging threats to humanity, Spartan Jun-A266—the last surviving member of Noble Team—struggles to forge a new generation of warriors on the hidden UNSC base Anvil Station, even as he battles the ghosts of his own past.

But when a renowned xenoarcheologist is brazenly abducted by a Banished strike team, Jun is pulled back into active operations alongside both old and new allies for a dangerous rescue mission, leading them all deep into hostile territory. Now Jun must confront the burden of survival and decide what it truly means to carry Noble Team’s legacy into a new era of conflict as this desperate mission may hold dire consequences far beyond a single missing civilian….

I would think someone who is taking advantage of bat files would feel right at home with shell scripts in Linux. In my experience, shell was much easier to pick up than batch

Batch is probably the same, but what always made me laugh about shell scripts is you could ask a bunch of people how to do something, and they’d all have a different way, it’s like there’s always a new tool to learn and try to fit into your workflow if you want, I love it

Reports on Twitter that they are deleting previously purchased games from users’ libraries as well.

Its also worth noting that the service skips end-to-end encryption "to improve speed and compatibility across browsers", … according to MEGA, files stay encrypted while stored and are only decrypted temporarily in server memory … this model may not meet the needs of users who require strict zero-access encryption.

Oof

Also only free until next year

This kill switch, the DOJ said, appeared to have been created by Lu because it was named "IsDLEnabledinAD," which is an apparent abbreviation of "Is Davis Lu enabled in Active Directory."

Lu named these codes using the Japanese word for destruction, "Hakai," and the Chinese word for lethargy, "HunShui,"

[Lu]’s "disappointed" in the jury's verdict and plans to appeal

No, this guy is cooked, there’s even evidence of him looking up how to hide processes and quickly delete files, absolutely no way an appeal would work out for him, I don’t think an “I got hacked” argument is going to work.

Really cool, but really scary, all I see is facial biometrics from 1 km away.

He’s going to rename the i series to something ridiculous like i69, i420, i1337, and iX isn’t he?

Finally switched to godot full time with 4.3 from Unity and this has been my biggest point of friction, super excited to try this out!

Remember these are the same engineers who put the Magic Mouse charging port on the bottom, making the mouse unusable while you charge it
