Halo MCC Update for December 7 Patch Notes:
UPDATED GAME VERSION: 1.3065.0.0
UPDATE OVERVIEW
This update brings dozens of bug fixes and several new features to Halo: The Master Chief Collection. For a full list of this update’s bug fixes, see the Resolved Issues section below. New features included in this update are:
SPARTAN POINT REWARDS FOR ALL 300+ LEVELS
Reaching a new level in the Halo: The Master Chief Collection progression system will now grant 1 Spartan Point for all available levels. Prior to this update, players would receive 1 Spartan Point per level up to level 100 (Tour 4, Level 10). Players can now earn 1 Spartan Point for all 330 levels (Tour 11, Level 30).
Players who surpassed level 100 prior to this update have been granted the correct amount of retroactive Spartan Points.
A new post-match Level Up menu will appear after reaching a new level to show that level’s icon and Spartan Point reward.
MATCHMAKING REJOIN FEATURE
Players will now be able rejoin a matchmaking session they were either disconnected from or intentionally left, so long as the game is still in progress.
Players who were automatically kicked from the match due to a violation will not be able to rejoin an in-progress match.
To rejoin an in-progress matchmaking session, requeue for matchmaking in the Multiplayer menu and select “Rejoin” on the pop-up to rejoin the match. Select the Matchmake button in the Rejoin Match pop-up to abandon the in-progress match and start a new matchmaking search. Abandoning in-progress matches may result in automatic temporary bans.
The Rejoin Match pop-up will only appear if the last played match is still in-progress.
EXCHANGE SELECTION EXPANSION
The Exchange menu now features more customization items for players to unlock each week. Level up or complete Challenges to earn additional Spartan Points which can be used to unlock items in the Exchange.
To view all items available in the Exchange, use the new arrow buttons on either side to scroll through the lists.
CAMPAIGN COLLECTIBLES IN HALO: COMBAT EVOLVED AND HALO 4
Golden Moa statues have been added to Halo: Combat Evolved and Halo 4 campaign missions. These statues will appear in different missions each week and can be collected by shooting them. Rotating weekly challenges will reward players with 100,000 XP and 1 Spartan Point for finding and collecting these hidden Golden Moa statues.
To view a list of the campaign missions with hidden Golden Moa statues each week, visit the Weekly PVE tab of the Challenge Hub menu in-game.
NEW SKULLS ADDED TO HALO 4
The Acrophobia and Bandanna Skulls have been added to the Halo 4 campaign. The Acrophobia Skull allows players to fly through the air after double pressing then holding the jump button or key. Once in the air, press the crouch button or key to hover in place. The Bandanna Skull provides players with unlimited ammunition and grenades as well as instant cooldowns for their equipped Armor Ability.
The Acrophobia Skull allows players to fly through the air while they are on foot in campaign missions.
RETURNING HALO 4 MULTIPLAYER LOADOUT OPTIONS
The Recharge and Survivor Support Upgrades, as well as the Resistor Tactical Package, are now available in Halo 4 multiplayer in Halo: The Master Chief Collection.
Recharge and Survivor were part of a free update for the original release of Halo 4 while Resistor was included in the Champions Bundle Downloadable Content (DLC). No purchase is required to use these Loadout items in Halo: The Master Chief Collection.
Alongside the reintroduction of these Loadout options in this update, their Achievement requirements are returning as Weekly PVP Challenges: Just a Scratch, Can’t Catch Me, and Repeat Survivor. In a departure from their original requirements, they are no longer restricted to matchmaking multiplayer and can now be completed in any Halo 4 multiplayer mode, including Custom Games. Navigate to the Challenge Hub within the Options & Career menu and view the Weekly PVP tab to learn more about these and other multiplayer Challenges.
These new Loadout options provide the following benefits during Halo 4 multiplayer matches:
Survivor: Prevents the death of operators when their vehicle is destroyed.
Recharge: Lowers the time it takes before one’s shields begin recharging.
Resistor: Allows players to retain full mobility despite taking fire.
To equip these items in-game, navigate to the Customization menu in Options & Career, select Halo 4, then equip them in the desired Loadout(s).
The new Support Upgrades and Tactical Package included in this update can be found at the bottom of their Loadout slot‘s list of available options.

Update: Bandai Namco has sent a press release detailing some of the new content included in today’s patch.
The Limgrave Colosseum features two modes: United Combat and Combat Ordeal.
In United Combat, combatants will be divided into two teams to fight in timed battles with the ability to respawn. Each death and respawn grants points to the adversaries, offering victory to the team with the higher score.
In Combat Ordeal, it’s every Tarnished for themselves. Combatants in this mode can also respawn until the timer hits zero, and the one with the most points will prevail as victor.
The Royal Colosseum, located in Leyndell, features Duel Mode. Two Tarnished face off in a duel to the death, and without the ability to respawn.
The Caelid Colosseum features all aforementioned modes with the addition of being able to summon Spirit Ashes to fight by players’ sides.
Join the fight on your own or use group passwords to match up with or against friends, and battle to become the Golden Combatant.
Cosmetics – Five new hairstyles also await players returning to their adventure in ELDEN RING or taking on the new challenges in the Colosseums.
We’ll update the article once the full patch notes are out.
The official patch notes haven’t been shared just yet, though here’s what’s known so far:
Come forth, warriors, and bask in the glory of the Colosseum.
The Colosseums of Limgrave, Leyndell and Caelid will open their gates, allowing players to engage in battles such as duels, free-for-alls and team fights.
Prove your worth in the free Colosseum Update.
Stay tuned and refresh this post from time to time, as we’ll be updating it with the changes the community finds as well as the patch notes once they’re available.
Battlefield 2042 update 1.000.027 is now out across all platforms, and this is for patch version 3.1.0! This brings a reworked Manifest map, new Vault Weapons and more! Check in what’s new in the official BF2042 update 3.1.0 patch notes.
Here is an overview of the changes and improvements in this Update:
Map Rework: Manifest
New Vault Weapons: M416, M240B, M93R
Gameplay Responsiveness Improvements around Weapon Reload Animation and Audio
MANIFEST
Our main focus with the rework of Manifest is to ensure it becomes more streamlined and offers up a tighter game space, this has also given us an opportunity to do a complete pass throughout the location and provide stronger themes to previously underutilized spaces.
Across the main gamemodes we have adjusted and added flag spaces to reduce travel times and create stronger paths and frontlines as you make your way towards those capture points.
Points of Interest:
Container Yard – North: The northern container yard has seen further military presence buildup, with the location now becoming an ad hoc refueling station for the ongoing conflict. The paths leading to and from the flag have been improved while the flag placement has been repositioned slightly towards the Quay.
Quay: As conflicts continue, the Quay has been treated to increased military defense encampments, with two new spaces on either end of the Quay. These locations act as Capture Points in certain modes, and when they aren’t in use they act as staging posts for entry onto the boats themselves.
Container Yard – South: This location has been moved closer to the action around the docked boats, with pathing improvements and further military buildup taking place throughout.
Weather Station: Time has not been a worthy ally for the Weather Station after recently suffering from a ground attack, one of these stations now sits in a burning ruin. The surrounding hillside has also received a traversal pass alongside additional light sources and ziplines to allow for increased traversal opportunity.

While Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision-Blizzard is still being investigated, that hasn’t stopped the software giant from inking a deal with Nintendo to bring the Call of Duty franchise to Nintendo platforms.
This was announced by Xbox division boss Phil Spencer over on Twitter, where he also confirmed that they are committed to continue bringing Call of Duty on Steam.
I'm also pleased to confirm that Microsoft has committed to continue to offer Call of Duty on @Steam simultaneously to Xbox after we have closed the merger with Activision Blizzard King. @ATVI_AB@ValveSoftware
Microsoft has entered into a 10-year commitment to bring Call of Duty to @Nintendo following the merger of Microsoft and Activision Blizzard King. Microsoft is committed to helping bring more games to more people – however they choose to play. @ATVI_AB
I’m also pleased to confirm that Microsoft has committed to continue to offer Call of Duty on @Steam simultaneously to Xbox after we have closed the merger with Activision Blizzard King. @ATVI_AB @ValveSoftware
This is definitely a step in the right direction for the franchise, and could further add credence to Spencer’s claims that they do not want to keep Call of Duty away from any platform with “no strings attached.”
No word on when we’ll see this Nintendo deal start, though given the acquisition is far from being final, that could be for quite some time. That said, we have seen Call of Duty games appear on Nintendo franchise before, and if we see a new entry in the franchise in 2023 — and the deal is finalized within the year — don’t be surprised to see the series grace Nintendo platforms once again.
Speaking to the Washington Post, Spencer offers a bit more insight into Call of Duty’s Nintendo re-emergence:
“You can imagine if [the deal] closed on that date, starting to do development work to make that happen would likely take a little bit of time,” Spencer said, referring to the June 2023 date the merger is supposed to close, if it is not blocked by regulators. “Once we get into the rhythm of this, our plan would be that when [a Call of Duty game] launches on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC, that it would also be available on Nintendo at the same time.”
Do you trust Microsoft to keep video games’ biggest franchise on both Steam and competing console platforms? Sound off and leave a comment below to let us know.

Today’s update is now available on all platforms. This update (v2.24) helps prepare Rocket League for the start of Season 9! Patch notes will be shared when Season 9 begins on December 7 at 8am PST (4pm UTC).
As for what to expect in Season 9, check out the trailer and info straight from the devs:
HOT LIKE FIRE, COOL LIKE ICE
Long held in place by an ancient seal, the dragons of Forbidden Temple Arena have finally awoken from their slumber. As the two resume their eternal battle, these legendary beasts have left a treasure trove of elemental Items in their wake.
Discover the secrets of a long-lost Rocket Pass, unearth Forbidden Temple (Fire & Ice), and harness the power of the Emperor Car in Season 9, starting December 7!
AN ELEMENTAL ROCKET PASS
While dragons may claim the skies above, the Arena is ruled by a different breed of beast. Wrought from the elements, the Emperor muscle car comes to Rocket League with four different versions! The base car is available immediately with Rocket Pass Premium, and working through the Tiers will unlock the upgraded Emperor II.
Two more Special Edition versions will be available in the Pro Tiers. Emperor II: Frozen brings chill vibes to your sweatiest matches, or you can light up the Arena with Emperor II: Scorched. All versions of Emperor will use the Breakout Hitbox and are available in Rocket Pass Premium.
After you’ve got the new car, you’ll need some Items to go with it! Fans of the Interstellar Decal will be starstruck by the constellation-inspired Constella Decal, while the fire and ice theme continues with two sets of Special Edition Wheels. Equip the Piercer: Crystalized Wheels to freeze out the competition, or slip into the Forerunner: Roasted Wheels for your next barn burner.
Missed out on 2017’s Dragon Banner Season Rewards? You’ll have another chance to feed your draconic side with the Ice Drake and Fire Drake Player Banners.
Those who venture into the Rocket Pass Pro Tiers can earn two new Goal Explosions. Unleash the fury of fire with the Brimstone Goal Explosion at Tier 95, or unlock the Ice Age Goal Explosion at Tier 115 to put the world on freeze. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg—just like Season 5’s Cosmosis Goal Explosion, both these effects will spread across the Arena, briefly covering the pitch in fire or ice whenever you score!
PLAY WITH FIRE, BREAK THE ICE
We finally found out why the Forbidden Temple is so, well… forbidden. With both dragons let loose, the once lush Arena has been transformed into a wasteland of permafrost and molten lava. Despite the damages, Forbidden Temple (Fire & Ice) seems like the perfect place for a friendly game of Soccar!
TOURNAMENT REWARDS
This Season’s Tournament Rewards really bring the heat. Leave a trail of flames behind you with the Seared Trail and Fireball Boost. But first, you’ll need something to burn, and the Oil Can Antenna has all the fuel you’ll ever need.
For the truly lucky, this Season’s Black Market Rewards bring out the fiery side of competition. Light up the night with an incendiary Fire Clap Goal Explosion, or tap into something monstrous with the Skulking Scale, an animated Decal that mixes glittering crystal with the scales of a dragon.
SECRETS OF THE TEMPLE
After the devastation of the temple grounds, we discovered several ancient tomes amongst the rubble. Their true meaning has yet to be unlocked, but so far we’ve deciphered two short messages: Frosty Fest will bring extremely chill vibes, and Neon Nights is returning with the hottest beats ever! Our trained Psyonix Archeologists will report back with more info soon.
Season’s end also means Season 8 Tournament Credits will reset. Players who participated in Competitive Tournaments during Season 8 will receive an All-Star Cup reward. Unspent Tournament Credits will be converted to the highest level reward a player is eligible to earn based on their Tournament Rank and Tournament Credit amount. This conversion will happen automatically the first time you log into Season 9.
Keep your thermostat close—Season 9 begins Wednesday, December 7!
We will update this post when the patch notes are revealed later today. Rocket Legaue is out now and free to play on all platforms.
Genshin Impact update 3.30 (PS5 version 3.300) has been released, and this is for patch version 3.3! Called “All Senses Clear, All Existence Void,” this adds new features, a new character and more. Check out the complete Genshin Impact December 6 patch notes.
〓Update Details〓
I. New Gameplay
New Gameplay: Genius Invokation TCG
Genius Invokation TCG is a tightly-paced, heart-stopping tabletop card dueling game.
Join as a “Genius Invokation TCG” player, collect cards, build your deck, and go toe-to-toe with various opponents at the table!
◇ Unlock Criteria:
• Reach Adventure Rank 32 or above
• Complete the Archon Quest “Song of the Dragon and Freedom”
◇ System Rules:
1. Find challengers in the open world or enter the tavern to play matches against weekly visiting challengers, and earn Player EXP, and Lucky Coins.
2. Player EXP can be used to increase your Player Level, which in turn unlocks new functions and more challengers. Lucky Coins can be used to purchase Genius Invokation cards and used to purchase Match Invitation Letters and various items related to Genius Invokation TCG.
3. You can use the invitation board to send invitations to registered challengers on the Player List and partake in duel matches. Should you prevail in these matches, you can also earn corresponding Character and Talent Cards.
4. You can use the invitation board and connect with your friends via Co-Op to partake in a Genius Invokation TCG match. After reaching a certain Player Level, you can also match with faraway strangers to duels of skill.
*After Genius Invokation TCG is officially launched, we will continue to adjust and optimize the balance of cards based on the duel situation and feedback of Travelers, so as to continuously improve the gameplay experience of Genius Invokation TCG.
The Genius Invokation TCG balance adjustment in the Version 3.3 update is as follows:
Adjusts Elemental Burst damage dealt by the Character Card “Maguu Kenki” in Genius Invokation TCG: “Deals 6 Anemo DMG…” is now adjusted to “Deals 4 Anemo DMG…”.
II. New Characters
5-Star Character “Eons Adrift” Wanderer (Anemo)
◇ Vision: Anemo
◇ Weapon: Catalyst
◇ A wayfaring figure whose identity is a mystery. He dresses like a mountain ascetic, but he certainly does not act the part.
◆ Elemental Skill “Hanega: Song of the Wind”
◆ Deals AoE Anemo DMG before leaping into the air and entering the Windfavored state. In this state, the Wanderer is unable to use Plunging Attacks, and his Normal and Charged Attacks are converted to Kuugo: Fushoudan and Kuugo: Toufukai. The DMG they deal and their AoE will be increased, and their DMG will be considered Normal and Charged Attack DMG respectively. The Wanderer will hover persistently during this time. Consume Kuugoryoku Points to maintain this hovering state, move and sprint mid-air, and increase hovering height. Running out of Kuugoryoku Points or casting the Elemental Skill again while in this state will end the Windfavored state.
◆ Elemental Burst “Kyougen: Five Ceremonial Plays”
◆ Deals multiple instances of AoE Anemo DMG. If the character is in the Windfavored state due to the skill “Hanega: Song of the Wind,” Windfavored state will end after casting.
4-Star Character “Enigmatic Machinist” Faruzan (Anemo)
◇ Vision: Anemo
◇ Weapon: Bow
◇ A researcher from “one hundred years ago.” She enjoys self-identifying as everyone’s senior, and has significant knowledge of ancient scripts and machines of all kinds.
◆ Elemental Skill “Wind Realm of Nasamjnin”
◆ Deploys a polyhedron that deals AoE Anemo DMG to nearby opponents. She will also enter the Manifest Gale state. While in the Manifest Gale state, Faruzan’s next fully charged shot will consume this state and will become a Hurricane Arrow that contains high-pressure currents. This arrow deals Anemo DMG based on the DMG of a fully charged Aimed Shot from “Normal Attack: Parthian Shot.” The Hurricane Arrow will apply a Pressurized Collapse effect to the opponent or character hit. This effect will be removed after a short delay, creating a vortex that deals AoE Anemo DMG and pulls nearby objects and opponents in. If the Hurricane Arrow does not hit any opponent or character, it will create a Pressurized Collapse effect at its point of impact.
◆ Elemental Burst “The Wind’s Secret Ways”
◆ Deploys a Dazzling Polyhedron that unleashes a Whirlwind Pulse and deals AoE Anemo DMG. While the Dazzling Polyhedron persists, it will continuously move along a triangular path. Once it reaches each corner of that triangular path, it will unleash 1 more Whirlwind Pulse. When the Whirlwind Pulse is unleashed, it will apply Perfidious Wind’s Bale to nearby opponents, decreasing their Anemo RES. The Whirlwind Pulse will also apply Prayerful Wind’s Benefit to all nearby party members when it is unleashed, granting them an Anemo DMG Bonus.
III. New Domain
Domain of Blessing: City of Gold
◇ This stronghold, once protected by seven mighty battlements, crumbled overnight when King Deshret fell and an age of chaos ensued. Where gold-eyed warriors once stood guard over watchtowers of gilded luster, now, only a desiccated temple built upon sundered rocks remains, more akin to a tomb for an age of radiance long lost.
◇ Unlock Criteria:
• Reach Adventure Rank 22 or above
• Or complete the Archon Quest “Prologue: Act III – Song of the Dragon and Freedom”
◆ Challenge the Domain to obtain artifacts in the “Desert Pavilion Chronicle” and “Flower of Paradise Lost” sets.
IV. New Equipment
1. New Weapons
Tulaytullah’s Remembrance (5-Star Catalyst)
Normal Attack SPD is increased by 10%. After the wielder unleashes an Elemental Skill, Normal Attack DMG will increase by 4.8% every second for 14s. After this character hits an opponent with a Normal Attack during this duration, Normal Attack DMG will be increased by 9.6%. This increase can be triggered once every 0.3s. The maximum Normal Attack DMG increase per single duration of the overall effect is 48%. The effect will be removed when the wielder leaves the field, and using the Elemental Skill again will reset all DMG buffs.
◆ During the event wish “Epitome Invocation,” the event-exclusive 5-star weapon Tulaytullah’s Remembrance (Catalyst) will receive a huge drop-rate boost!
Toukabou Shigure (4-Star Sword)
After an attack hits opponents, it will inflict an instance of Cursed Parasol upon one of them for 10s. This effect can be triggered once every 15s. If this opponent is taken out during Cursed Parasol’s duration, Cursed Parasol’s CD will be refreshed immediately. The character wielding this weapon will deal 16% more DMG to the opponent affected by Cursed Parasol.
◆ Toukabou Shigure (Sword) and its refinement materials can be redeemed in the event “Akitsu Kimodameshi.”
2. New Artifacts
Desert Pavilion Chronicle (4-Star and 5-Star)
◇ 2-Piece Set: Increased Anemo DMG Bonus.
◇ 4-Piece Set: When Charged Attacks hit opponents, the equipping character’s Normal Attack SPD will increase by 10% while Normal, Charged, and Plunging Attack DMG will increase by 40% for 15s.
Flower of Paradise Lost (4-Star and 5-Star)
◇ 2-Piece Set: Increased Elemental Mastery.
◇4-Piece Set: The equipping character’s Bloom, Hyperbloom, and Burgeon reaction DMG are increased by 40%. Additionally, after the equipping character triggers Bloom, Hyperbloom, or Burgeon, they will gain another 25% bonus to the effect mentioned prior. Each stack of this lasts 10s. Max 4 stacks simultaneously. This effect can only be triggered once per second. The character who equips this can still trigger its effects when not on the field.
V. New Main Story
1. New Archon Quest
Archon Quest Interlude Chapter: Act III “Inversion of Genesis”
◆ Quest Unlock Criteria
• Reach Adventure Rank 40 or above
• Complete Archon Quest Chapter III: Act V “Akasha Pulses, the Kalpa Flame Rises”
• Complete Kaedehara Kazuha’s Story Quest: Acer Palmatum Chapter – Act I “A Strange and Friendless Road”

※ After the Spiral Abyss resets on December 16, the “Deepwood Memories” and “Gilded Dreams” Artifact set rewards in “Domain Reliquary: Tier I,” and “Domain Reliquary: Tier II” for Floors 9-12 will be replaced with “Desert Pavilion Chronicle” and “Flower of Paradise Lost.”
Updates the monster lineup on Floor 11 of the Spiral Abyss.
Updates the monster lineup on Floor 12 of the Spiral Abyss.
Starting from the first time that the Lunar Phase refreshes after updating to Version 3.3, the three Lunar Phases will be as follows:
Phase I:
Terminal Moon
After the active character’s Normal, Charged, or Plunging Attack deals DMG to an opponent, the character will gain a 10% corresponding Elemental or Physical DMG Bonus of that attack for 4s. This effect can be triggered once every 1s. Max 6 stacks. It will be removed when the character leaves the field or deals a different type of Elemental or Physical DMG.
Phase II:
Breezecall Moon
After the active character triggers a Swirl reaction, all party members will have their CRIT DMG increased by 20% for 8s. Max 3 stacks. This effect can be triggered once every 1s.
Phase III:
Supreme Moon
When the active character deals consecutive instances of Elemental DMG of the same Elemental Type using Normal, Charged, and Plunging Attacks, Elemental Skills, and Elemental Bursts to an opponent, they will gain 1 count stack. 1 stack can be gained every 1s. After 5 stacks have been gained, a shockwave will be unleashed at the opponent’s position, dealing True DMG and clearing all heretofore accumulated stacks. Should the active character leave the field or deal a different type of Elemental DMG, these stacks will also be cleared. Dealing Physical DMG will not clear the stacks.
*In the content updated in version 3.3, there are text errors for some English voice-over lines.
Akitsu Yuugen should be: Akitsu Yuugei
Akitsu Hazura should be：Akitsu Haneasobi
We seek your kind understanding on this matter.

After an announcement made last week, the Dead Island 2 Showcase finally premiered, and we got a good look at the survival zombie co-op in the form of a live action short. The short includes plenty of Dead Island 2 gameplay footage, including the game’s maps, characters, and more.
You can find the dedicated gameplay trailer below.
Today’s showcase featured a live-action pulp-adventure starring three fictional characters set in a similar universe to Dead Island 2. With the military long gone, we follow the fearless survivors as they search for a safe haven from the virus outbreak and zombie hordes. As they roam the supposedly abandoned mansion of a local video game and movie producer in Los Angeles’ Hollywood Hills, they’ll soon discover that nowhere is safe.
There are a few interesting details to note from the showcase. For one, players are able to seemingly tap in and control the zombie infection for themselves, giving them superhuman strength to tear through hordes of zombies. The trailer also shows off all the weapons you’re able to play with, including a slew of melee weapons and guns.
With the premiere of the Dead Island 2 showcase, the game is now finally available for pre-order. You can pre-order various editions of the game, with special editions including extra content for die-hard Dead Island fans. There’s also a pre-order bonus that includes two bat-shaped melee weapons you can use in-game once it’s available to play.
Whether you’ve preordered the game or not, you can expect to fight hordes of zombies in the streets of HELL-A when Dead Island 2 releases on April 28 next year. It’ll be available on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
