343 Industries has released a new Halo Infinite Development Update video today, and there’s some good news, and some bad news. First off, it’s now confirmed that Halo Infinite campaign co-op won’t be available at launch!
In the video below, 343 Industries Head of Creative for Halo Infinite Joseph Staten mentions how the team focused on a quality experience at launch, and unfortunately, some compromises had to be made.
Unfortunately, as we focused the team for shutdown and really focused on a quality experience for launch, we made the really tough decision to delay shipping campaign co-op for launch
In the same video, Staten confirmed the delay of the franchise’s level editor Forge as well, stating, “And we also made the tough call to delay shipping Forge past launch as well.”
According to Staten, both co-op and Forge will arrive as a free post-launch title update. Currently, the campaign co-op feature aimed for when Season 2 is available, while Forge is expected to drop as part of Season 3.
While that’s bad news for Halo Infinite fans, the studio reiterated that the game is on track for a Holiday 2021 release, though no official release date has been given just yet.
Will this affect your decision in buying Halo Infinite at launch or not at all? Let us know your thoughts down in the comments.

EA Sports is bringing the National Hockey League home in a brand new way, as NHL 22 delivers the hockey experience with the Frostbite Engine this October 15 — and it will be available for both current and next-gen platforms!
Here’s the reveal trailer from the folks at EA Sports!
Delivering some striking visuals as well and innovative new gameplay with this latest installment in the series, NHL 22 will feel as real as possible thanks to the enhancements and brand new concepts the game will incorporate — including the new Superstar X-Factors system that you can read in detail below via press release.
Superstars will distinctly feel like their real-life counterparts in NHL 22 with the introduction of Superstar X-Factors, a game-changing system that unleashes unique abilities for the best players in the game, with traits inspired by their individual real-world skills. Superstar X-Factors bring two key elements to help elevate hockey’s elite and break them away from the pack: Zone Abilities and Superstar Abilities. Zone Abilities bring game-breaking enhancements to the best players, while Superstar Abilities represent upper echelon skills reserved for athletes playing at the next level. Players like Edmonton Oilers Forward Leon Draisaitl, whose “Tape to Tape” ability reflects his elite core passing; or Tampa Bay Lightning goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy’s “Contortionist” X-factor that boosts his ability to make wild, body-twisting saves with ease will make a profound impact on NHL 22 gameplay. Superstar X-Factors not only bring new facets to gameplay but also add new dimensions to Franchise Mode, Be A Pro, Hockey Ultimate Team and World of Chel.
If you want to check out the other previous games EA Vancouver and EA Sports have been busy with, see our archives here.
NHL 22 will be available for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S this October 15.

ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING TEAMING UP AND STREAM SNIPING
We are aware of certain players who decide team up or stream snipe in matches. We take such matter seriously and will not tolerate such behavior to affect our players.
We have created 「report-teaming-streamingsniping」 channel on our official Discord so please utilize this channel to report players who make the game less enjoyable for everyone.
Below is how we will handle players who are caught teaming up or stream sniping in matches:
1st time: 3 day Ban
2nd time: 7 day Ban
3rd time: 30 day Ban
4th time: Permanent Ban
To restrain players from teaming up or stream sniping, we would need an evidence such as video clips to look into submitted reports. Please utilize death cams to provide us with video clips as evidence.
In a Battle Royale genre, we understand that teaming up could be utilized as a strategical choice at times. However, we will not tolerate intentional teaming deriving from pre-communication between players.
We want Hunter’s Arena to be equally enjoyable and fair for all of our players. We promise to provide a fair gameplay experience with your help and our players.
Thank you.
EVENTS
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the RP/MMR issue last week.

More Battlefield 2042 info has surfaced once again, and this time, it’s all about Battlefield 2042 gun customization details, and also, what tanks can equip as abilities and more!
Same as before, the info has been dug up once again by reliable Battlefield dataminer temporyal, who gives us a look at what the M5A3 assault rifle can be equipped with in the game! As one might expect, there are scopes, grips, barrels, and more that can be tweaked.
Current M5A3 weapon customization data in #Battlefield 2042:
Current M5A3 weapon customization data in #Battlefield 2042:
Small blue diamond 3 barrels (short, medium, long)
Small blue diamond 3 muzzle brakes / compensators
Small blue diamond 3 suppressors
Small blue diamond 4 grips
Small blue diamond 4 ammo / magazines
Small blue diamond 13 scopes
In addition to that, temporyal also shared details on tank customization as well! Primary, secondary firing options, abilities, and even what gunners can do while inside!
The EBAA Wildcat is based on the Jaguar EBRC and offers a variety of loadout options according to the #Battlefield 2042 files:
The EBAA Wildcat is based on the Jaguar EBRC and offers a variety of loadout options according to the #Battlefield 2042 files:
Cannons & Missiles
EMP, Grenade Launcher & Mortar
Smoke & Spotting
It features four seats (1 driver, 2 gunners & 1 spotter). More details:
Same as always, bear in mind that these are all datamined info, and as such, there is no guarantee that they will be in the final game. That said, the Battlefield 2042 gun customization details, and tank customization stuff should be familiar to Battlefield vets given we’ve seen almost all these in past Battlefield games.
Don’t forget, BF2042 will feature the “Plus” system when it comes to weapons, which means players will be able to customize their gun attachments on the fly!
Chinese studio Game Science has released new Black Myth: WuKong gameplay, and it features the game’s transition to Unreal Engine 5! Needless to say, the game looks stunning, and the combat, compelling!
Check out 12 minutes of gameplay footage right now, and there’s even a boss fight with a friggin’ dragon!
Black Myth: WuKong, the action-adventure game developed by Game Science, reveals its newest gameplay test collection today. The video is recorded real-time in Unreal 5 Engine, and supported by NVIDIA DLSS technology.
Black Myth: WuKong has no release window, and no confirmed platforms just yet, but we’re definitely eager to know more about it. If you want to see its previous iteration running on Unreal Engine 4, head on over here for the game’s 13-minute gameplay debut.
First Watch Games has released the Rogue Company update 1.70 patch this August 20, and this is an unannounced title update. While Weapon Mastery has been talked about coming in the next title update, there have also been confirmation on LTM changes, too.
Rogue Company Update 1.70 Patch Notes:
Update: Here’s the official patch notes via First Watch:
Hey Rogues,
Since the Season Three update, we’ve actively investigated a series of crash reports from players and regularly reviewed game data. After careful examination, we noticed that many crashes were due to memory issues, and examined the current memory usage for all platforms to ascertain its cause.
We believe we have identified the cause and have some fixes that should drastically improve it with a hotfix we deployed early this morning, Friday, August 20th.
This hotfix will be larger than normal for Xbox and Playstation. While Switch players will receive the same hotfix, they will have to wait a little longer for some of these memory fixes, as it requires a separate update. We will make announcements about the timing of this update as soon as possible.
We have made the following changes for Xbox and PlayStation:
Fixed an issue that would cause the error “Unknown failure to join this queue.”
Fixed an issue that caused the Season 3 Starter Pack to not display in-game.
For Switch we have made the following change:
Fixed a lighting issue on Switch that would have Rogues display black in the lobby.
For all platforms we have made the following changes:
Fixed some grammar and punctuation errors in Rogue Bios.
Fixed an issue that gave Mack 150HP from his Passive instead of 125HP if he disconnects and reconnects.
Fixed an icon for the Gone Rogue Award.
Fixed a description for Ranked Demolition.
Fixed an issue that caused automatic weapons to fail to fire after throwing a gadget.
In addition to the crash update, we also wanted to address Switch players being unable to complete the Weekly Contract for King of the Hill. This was an error, which we will be addressed by making two changes, one immediate and the other long-term. Short term, Switch players will be able to enjoy King of the Hill 4v4 as an LTM, beginning this Monday, August 23; long term, we will be changing the Weekly Contract to “Win a match in a Limited Time Mode.” You can expect to see this change in the upcoming patch.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
First Watch has not mentioned what’s in today’s patch just yet. However, we do know what’s coming very, very soon.
Here’s what’s coming to Weapon Mastery (though it won’t be in until the next major update):
When we set out to create a weapon mastery system, we rallied behind three core goals:
First, achievements. We wanted each weapon to have its own unique “niche” inside the game and for players to feel that they can master the personality of these weapons. We wanted to capture “how” with specific achievements for each weapon.
Second, let’s talk about flexibility and depth through meaningful choices. Right now, you can pick a Rogue, but you’re tied to the weapons they have. However, if you can mix and match, the depth of the game expands exponentially.
Last, we wanted to provide meaningful rewards for the way you play. Using the KA30 as an example, through levels 1-5, at each level, you’ll unlock a weapon wrap specific to the KA30. At level 5, whenever you land a kill with the KA30, the mention in the Kill Feed will show up in gold, and you’ll receive a banner for your profile. You’ll also unlock the weapon to use across all Rogues that can wield that weapon class (in this example, assault rifles).
Again, Weapon Mastery is incoming in the next major title update, andw ill be shown off later today.
First Watch has also talked about Limited Time Modes (LTM), and how it’s changing:
Get ready to indulge in some 80’s inspired pop music along with a dose of an epic orchestra score and original rock tunes, as Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy blends three different music styles for its awesome score and soundtrack!
According to a behind-the-scenes commentary by Eidos-Montreal Senior Audio Director Steve Szczepkowski, the team focused on fusing three different elements to create a unique experience as well as influence a gameplay mechanic that will no doubt get players excited.
“Music is intrinsic to the Guardians’ franchise, and we wanted to make it focal to the gameplay experience. The soundtrack is infused in the DNA of the game, and our use of it goes far beyond usual expectations. Whether it’s powering up combat in the Huddle or bringing Star-Lord’s favourite band to life, every element was carefully woven into the lore to enhance the story of this rock and roll band of misfits.”
Using a unique Huddle feature to select music during the game, Star-Lord can sift through an awesome selection of music in the GOTG game — including 80’s music featuring licensed tracks from Iron Maiden, KISS, and New Kids on the Block to name a few, as well as listening to unique score composed by BAFTA-nominated composed Richard Jacques, as well as bringing in a brand new rock band called Star-Lord itself! Now that’s going to be a soundtrack worth looking forward to!

It looks the Battlefield 2042 datamine has unearthed more info! This time, the Battlefield 2042 melee and sidearm weapons have been unearthed, as well as the Trait names for the Specialists!
Bear in mind, the melee and sidearm list is in no way complete, so don’t feel disappointed if it’s not a long list. Once again, it’s dug up by reliable Battlefield dataminer temporyal.
Per temporyal:
Here is a collection of 5 sidearms and a few melee weapons in #Battlefield 2042.
The actual ingame counterparts will have new names (Taurus 44 = M44) and probably a more futuristic look, but the files do give away their real-life models.
Keep in mind: This is not a final list.
In addition to that, the Traits names have been spotted as well (via SavingsAssistance864)!
Not familiar what Traits are? Think of them like as similar to Specialist abilities that are tied to each Specialist. One example given by DICE is, “As for Traits, let’s take a closer look at Falck, equipped with the Combat Surgeon Trait. Combat Surgeon allows Falck to revive allies to full health. This gives her an advantage over players using Squad Revive, which we’re bringing back to Battlefield 2042. Squad Revive takes longer and does not bring players back to full health.”
Again, same with every other datamined info, treat these all with a bag of salt, as none have been confirmed just yet, and could be leftover code, placeholder stuff.

With Splitgate just dominating the free-to-player charts, developer 1047 Games has announced that it has increased the Splitgate server capacity to accommodate the exploding player base. In a press release sent out, the studio has also marked this month’s gamescom as the event where a “significant announcement” regarding the game will be made.
According to 1047 Games, Splitgate will remain in open beta for the “foreseeable future” as the game has now seen more than 10 million players in its first 30 days of being in open beta! Regarding the servers, the devs are making updates to the game’s framework daily, as Splitgate has hopped up from its inital 4,000 concurrent player count, to now more than 175,000 concurrent players!
Ian Proulx, CEO and co-founder of 1047 Games, had this to say:
The fan support has been incredible as we work to improve the player experience. We never dreamed of having to scale this big this quickly, and as a result we have had to overcome challenges to keep up with player demand. We met several major milestones in a short time, creating a stable platform where fans can expect to find a server to play on relatively quickly, and I’m proud of what our team has accomplished – but there’s a lot more to come!
In looking at the issues facing the scalability of the game’s backend, the process includes far more than simply dealing with server capacity. We are focused on keeping the game stable for fans, and iterating on the game’s concurrent capacity in order to minimize player wait times. We want to do this the right way, and we want to be prepared for massive scale when we officially launch, all the while continuing to improve the beta with frequent updates, additional features, and improvements to server capacity.
Once we get wind of Splitgate’s next title update or new content, we’ll be sure to let our readers know.
Gamescom 2021 begins this August 26, and you can bet MP1st will be covering the event, so stay tuned.

With today’s big Call of Duty Vanguard reveal, it seems the flood gates have opened when it comes to info! For those wondering how much disk space you’ll need for the game, it seems like it’ll be a lot, as the Call of Duty Vanguard file size is listed at a whopping 270GB on the Microsoft Store!
Here’s where you can see the file size on the official Microsoft Store. We also took a screenshot just in case it gets pulled or altered.
No word yet on whether the PlayStation version will be the same size, though we wouldn’t be surprised if it was. The file size for the PlayStation version is currently not visible at this time.
More info for Vanguard per the press release:
Vanguard delivers the complete package to Call of Duty fans across Campaign, online Multiplayer and Zombies co-operative modes. Players will witness the origins of Special Forces as they change the face of history, forming Task Force One in a sprawling World War II narrative campaign spanning the Eastern and Western fronts of Europe, the Pacific, and North Africa. Multiplayer features 20 maps on day one at launch. While Zombies fans will experience a signature undead gameplay experience, marking a franchise-first Zombies crossover for Call of Duty.
Call of Duty Vanguard will be released this November 5 on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
Update; It seems the 270GB is the bundle’s overall file size, as another listing on the Microsoft Store has it at just 75GB! Bear in mind, this is without patches.
