However, getting to this point was, at times, a struggle as fans weren’t enamored with every aspect of the Halo Infinite multiplayer experience. Battle Pass progression has been a sore spot with Infinite fans, tied to finishing weekly challenges rather than XP earned while playing. The online store’s microtransaction prices have also come under fire for being too high, especially for items which many viewed as minor. Thankfully, as a live service game, 343 Industries has continued to refine the experience through constant updates....

Brutes have been a part of the Halo series going back to Halo 2, but they have always struggled in finding a true place within the typical combat hierarchy. They traditionally have behaved like Elites in the sense that they are typically a dominant faction on the battlefield, but are just physically superior to Elites, rarely ever using shielding technology. In Halo Infinite though, Berserker Brutes have given the species meaning in combat, charging the player in a fit of rage and ignoring incoming fire....

Modding is the process of altering a game to allow otherwise impossible things in the base game to become possible. Many have found creative and bizarre uses for this in the past. Halo: Custom Edition is an expansion for Combat Evolved that is specifically built for creating and sharing mod content. The expansion came out in 2004 but is still active and popular today. The use of Custom Edition also allows for more complex mods requiring players to replace content in the expansions install directory with alternative files....

He was riding the bike for the Crescent team, who appealed to his love for bikes and the Moto GP....

Carlos Sainz claimed a superb third for McLaren, with Hamilton’s team-mate Valtteri Bottas having to settle for fourth after his win in the Austrian Grand Prix at the same circuit last week. It was another disappointing day for Ferrari, with Sebastian Vettel coming 10th and Charles Leclerc missing out in Q3 to start 11th....

So this reported six-year, $48 million offer from Michigan to Jim Harbaugh doesn’t mean anything — other than Michigan clearly realizing it’s about to get all things Urban in the Big Ten and something better change. Understand this: money is irrelevant in the pursuit of Harbaugh. No matter where he coaches next fall, he’ll make enough money to be comfortable for life. The question is this: What drives Harbaugh?...

Kickstarting the discussion was the launch of the IronKey Keypad 200 USB drive, which Kingston claims is the industry’s first drive that delivers military-grade protection for our data. The drive contains several protection mechanisms to ensure stored data can’t be accessed by unscrupulous users and cybercriminals, thanks to a couple of different read-only modes. This could help it combat malware, like the one discovered earlier this year, which spreads via infected USB drives....

Justin Halpern and Patrick Schumacker have helmed the Harley Quinn series since its debut on the now-defunct DC Universe streaming service.

So with this passing of the torch comes a new status quo for their version of Gotham City, and it’s actually been in the works for a while....

I spoke to Andy Bichel and he asked me how I was feeling. I said I probably lacked getting through that intensity, rhythm and fitness,” said Harris....

Smith was removed from the game in the second quarter following a helmet-to-helmet hit on Houston tight end Jordan Akins, who was later ruled out with a concussion. Smith was immediately flagged for using his helmet to initiate contact, which was the obvious call. But that penalty does not carry an automatic ejection. Officials on the field felt the hit was deserving of an ejection in addition to the penalty....
