After years of teases, 343 finally showed off actual gameplay for Halo: Infinite . The demo gameplay showed Master Chief infiltrating a new Halo ring, fighting some familiar alien enemies, and racing around a large open landscape in the Warthog off-road vehicle. The gameplay seemed to evoke a feeling of nostalgia, looking similar to some classic areas from the first game, even with new and modern features built in like the grappling hook and drop wall equipm
At the July 23 showcase, Double Fine revealed it had again partnered with Jack Black, showing a scene where Black sings during a really trippy segment of gameplay. While it was nice seeing the game being shown off again, the studio also dropped some unfortunate news by confirming the game suffered another delay, this time into 2

In the Barracks is where everything happens in between different missions. So get familiar with the place. Spend skills points, swap out gear, go through cases on the battlefield, inspect characters, customize names and appearance or recruit new soldiers before embarking on another miss
Gears Tactics is an adrenaline-packed strategy horde that throws tons of enemies at players because the developer knows the power that the tools at your disposal hold. The chainsaw gun has 99.9 percent odds of slicing even the biggest locust in half or turning a 5-pack of scurrying wretches into gra
This game doesn’t have a broader strategy layer like X-COM does. Instead, the main story is broken up into side missions. These side missions won’t register much in the game’s first act. In the second and third act, however, a gamer will often have to complete two or even three side-missions in a row before moving on to the next chap
The ultra-violent third-person shooter franchise Gears of War just made its return in a weird way. The newest entry in the series, Gears Tactics , uses the iconic universe as a setting for a squad-centric strategy g
The number of troop types and the number of abilities that come with them make every turn feel like a game of Risk sponsored by an energy drink. Using stronger weapons, equipment, and even special moves can lead to some chains of kills that are more satisfying than anything achievable in traditional Gears shoot
The move pays off here. The game is well-designed, has great strategy elements, and most importantly, is fun to play. Admittedly a little surprising, but the team behind Gears Tactics has made a worthwhile addition to the action franch

The more missions the player completes, the more space they will get in their roster for recruiting additional troops. So, it’s naturally tempting to fill all the slots with units, whether they are randomized or player-crea
There are also different sizes of cover. Short cover allows players to shoot over the top of the cover but leaves them more vulnerable to attacks. Tall cover completely protects the player from frontal attacks, but only allows players to attack around corners and not over the top of co
The fainter the white line is, the lower the soldier’s shot percentage will be. If a dotted line appears, it means that the shot has, at most, a 40% chance of hitting. If a perpendicular crosshatch appears, there could be an obstruction; this might cause the shot to hit another object or even a squadmate. This information should help the player become more accurate, particularly when dealing with tough enem
The new take on the series has landed with mostly favorable reviews , applauding its commitment to a complete gameplay overhaul. Here are five of the best things about the new game, and five of the wo
As mentioned before, each unit has a set number of actions they can take in a single term, and these actions are defined by action point. Points can be spent on moving, shooting, throwing grenades, and using abilities. When using an action a certain number of points will be used up, however by performing an execution on an enemy, a player regains action points. Theoretically, if a player chained multiple executions their turn could last fore
