Halo: MCC Is Adding An Unreleased Halo: Reach Helmet And Armor Piece In Season 4
The big Season 3 refresh recently came to Halo: The Master Chief Collection, and developer 343 Industries has lots more in store for the game down the road. The studio has outlined some of what’s coming in a new blog post, and it includes a never-before-released Halo: Reach helmet and piece of armor, as well as some redacted content that we’re very curious about.
The GRD helmet was cut from the original Halo: Reach, but 343 is bringing it back for MCC with the Season 4 update in the future.
The helmet was used in promotional material for Halo: Reach’s Defiant map pack DLC, but the developer had to cut it due to time/resource constraints. It is a very unique-looking helmet, as you can see in the image below. As for “AKIS,” we don’t know what this means, but 343 said the developer will share more details in a “deeper dive” later on.
Spellbreak Update 1.1 Fixes Bugs, Adds Anti-Cheat Measures, And Smooths Out Aiming Issues
Spellbreak, a free-to-play battle royale where every player has an elemental power to fight with, has received its first major update. The game, which launched on PC, Switch, PS4, and Xbox One on September 3, has updated to version 1.1, and has fixed numerous bugs and issues in the process.
Update 1.1 brings several fixes to Spellbreak across all platforms, as well as some system-specific changes for each different version of the game. It doesn’t add any major new features, but instead focuses on tweaking and improving what is already there.
“We wanted the focus of this one to be on stability and performance across all of our platforms,” the Spellbreak blog reads before detailing the patch notes.
200,000+ Accounts Have Been Banned From Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare And Warzone
Like many popular games, cheaters are flocking to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and the battle royale game Warzone. Developer Infinity Ward isn’t letting these cheaters run amok, however, as the company has confirmed it has banned more than 200,000 accounts for cheating since launch.
This number applies to Modern Warfare and the Warzone spinoff, but Activision did not provide a breakdown by game. There was a new wave of bans this week, Infinity Ward said, and this is seemingly the 20,000 Warzone players that had their accounts deactivated for using cheats, according to a Vice report.
Anti-cheat update:
Since launch, the team has banned over 200,000 accounts for cheating across #Warzone and #ModernWarfare, including a new wave this week. We are continuing to deploy additional security updates and added backend enforcement tools. Zero tolerance for cheating.— Infinity Ward (@InfinityWard) October 1, 2020
In addition to announcing the new ban total, Infinity Ward said it is staying vigilant in the fight against cheaters by releasing “additional security updates” and “backend enforcement tools.” The developer did not provide any specifics on these, and that may be intentional so as not to give cheaters a heads-up.
