    More Permanent Playlists are Coming to Halo Infinite Multiplayer

    Some franchise mainstays will be returning to the game.

    Halo Infinite's multiplayer is quite good, but it's certainly not without some faults. One of those issues that isn't the Battle Pass progression system, is the fact that the game shipped with only a few game modes. Fans have been more than eager for the return of modes like free-for-all (FFA) and SWAT.

    Thankfully, those modes and more will be coming to Halo Infinite. A Twitter post by 343 Industries community manager...

    Ho ho holy crap, what is this franchise turning into?

    When Update #3 for Battlefield 2042 released earlier today, there were a few surprises included that shouldn't have been.

    When a six-shooter turns into a five-shooter.

    One of the (several) bugs included in Battlefield 2042 was an issue involving the M44 sidearm. Prior to today's release of Update #3, the gun had a very odd issue with how reloading was handled.

    At release, a reload of the gun when empty would only reload five rounds. The problem is, there are six rounds in the chamber. You can see it during the reload animation. The gun is supposed to have six rounds and you have 18 rounds...
