Halo 3: ODST is the next game coming to PC through Halo: The Master Chief Collection, and it’s nearly ready for release. Developer 343 Industries announced in a blog post that it is expanding the game’s beta testing program this week, with more players getting invited in.

The initial tests led to the discovery of bugs and other issues, and 343 has fixed more than 80 bugs so far, the studio said. The newest wave of the beta test is scheduled to begin this week “barring any new major issues.” To get in, you need to be in the Halo Insider program, and you can sign up for it here.

Halo 3: ODST for PC has been tested more heavily than planned, and due to this, 343 is expanding the scope of the beta test. The previous plan was to launch the beta test with Halo 3: ODST and then roll out the planned Halo 3 changes later, but these will now be bundled together from the start. “As it stands right now, we have resolved all blocking bugs as of today across the entirety of the content. We are so close to getting this into your hands,” 343 said.

Lazlow Jones, the voice of DJ Lazlow from Grand Theft Auto III onwards, has left Rockstar Games. Jones worked as a producer, director, and writer across the Grand Theft Auto series, as well as other Rockstar games, including Red Dead Redemption 2. Jones served at the studio for 19 years.

The news comes via Jones’ LinkedIn page, and was picked up on by Gtamen, then reported by Kotaku. It seems that Jones left the company in April 2020, after serving as the co-chair of the Rockstar Games Production department. He left the company two months after company founder Dan Houser also left the developer.

Jones’ LinkedIn page makes it clear how wide-reaching his work for the studio was. “My teams have produced video game trailers, gameplay videos, commercials, live Twitch streams, location recording- including facial capture technology, motion capture shoots, and in-game radio and TV content, including original animated shows,” he wrote. “During this time I wrote dialogue, composed songs and spoof jingles, curated music and directed musicians. I have directed thousands of voiceover sessions for video games, radio and cartoons.”

Halo Infinite has been in the news a lot lately, most recently regarding the delay of the game’s release until 2021. Microsoft also recently confirmed that Halo Infinite’s multiplayer will be free, while the game’s graphics and Craig the Brute meme have been much-discussed as well. Needless to say, people have a lot of questions about the game and the future of the franchise.

In a post on Twitter, community manager John Junyszek said 343 understands that people have questions, but the studio is not quite ready to answer them. He promised that 343 will share more details at some point, but right now, the team is busy figuring out the best way to move forward.

“We know there are lots of questions out there, especially in regards to Halo Infinite, but please hold tight for now. There’s a lot to work through, including communication plans, but please know we’ll share more when ready.”

The death of Princess Diana was huge news in many parts of the world, and her figure looms large even today. With this in mind, her casting for the final seasons of Netflix’s The Crown is big news–and a very talented actor has been chosen for the part.

The Twitter account for The Crown has announced that Australian actor Elizabeth Debicki will play the Princess of Wales in the show’s final two seasons, 5 and 6. Debicki, who also stars in Christopher Nolan’s Tenet, will be covering Diana’s later years before her untimely death in 1997.

“Princess Diana’s spirit, her words, and her actions live in the hearts of so many,” Debicki wrote in a statement included in the tweet. “It is my true privilege and honor to be joining this masterful series.”

Make yourself some popcorn and get a good book if you plan on updating Call of Duty: Modern Warfare or Warzone on Xbox One. Despite the recent patch fixing only a few issues, it takes up more than 60GB of space on Microsoft’s console.

As we mentioned in our previous story on the latest Call of Duty patch notes, a weapon texture glitch was finally fixed in an update this weekend. That update was a max of 2GB on the PC and just over 1GB on PS4. Because of a problem with the patch delivery process on Xbox One, however, that platform must re-download files. It put the Xbox One file size at 66GB, though it also replaced certain files to keep the total size from ballooning any more.

With Call of Duty: Modern Warfare on Xbox One now weighing in at nearly 200GB, it raises concerns about the next-gen systems’ storage space. Xbox Series X will include a 1TB SSD, while PS5’s will be about 825GB. That will only take a few games of this size to fill up, and with increased visual fidelity and resolution, that will likely only increase.

It took more than two years, but legendary creep and martial artist extraordinaire Master Roshi has finally arrived to Dragon Ball FighterZ. He joins a roster that continues to expand, primarily with different variants of Goku, and can finally prove why you don’t need Saiyan blood to dominate on the battlefield.

Arriving next month, Master Roshi will be available as the latest fighter in the FighterZ Pass 3. Despite his small stature and the fact that he’s hundreds of years old, Master Roshi is lightning-quick and his Evil Containment Wave ability is sure to mess up his opponents. He’s suitably goofy, as well. As Dragon Ball Z progressed, Roshi mostly had to stay on the sidelines while more powerful heroes like Goku and Piccolo did the actual fighting. However, his training was invaluable in the series’ early years.

Bandai Namco’s announcement also included a trailer, which you can watch above. He follows Kefla and Ultra Instinct Goku in the FighterZ Pass 3, and there are still two characters remaining for the pass. We don’t yet have time windows for when those will arrive.

Splinter Cell’s Sam Fisher, aka Zero, is coming to Rainbow Six Siege, and he brings a camera that can peek through walls and fire lasers.

Operation Shadow Legacy marks the introduction of Sam Fisher to Rainbow Six Siege. Ubisoft revealed the upcoming operation today, which plans to introduce Sam as this season’s new operator, re-launch the Chalet map with a new rework, and bring multiple changes. As usual, Ubisoft didn’t announce a release date, but the new operation is coming to the PC test server on August 17, so you won’t have to wait long to try Sam Fisher out for yourself.

Sam Fisher comes to Rainbow Six Siege with the codename ‘Zero’ and his Argus Launcher gadget, a pistol that shoots a two-way drill camera that can penetrate soft and reinforced walls. This lets the attacking team see both sides of a wall, while Sam can control it to shoot a single laser that’s powerful enough to destroy gadgets or deal damage to a defender. Sam can equip the MP7 as well as two unique weapons: the SC3000K assault rifle and Karambit knife. Sam’s classic Five-Seven suppressed pistol is also available in his arsenal.

As for players’ arsenals, you may notice something different in the next season: Ubisoft has changed up a lot of the optics and sights. A number of the optics have been redesigned, while several assault rifles now no longer have access to the ACOG scope. This has been replaced for some operators with several different scopes that feature different ranges. It’s a little disappointing that I’ll have to get used to new optics, but admittedly, it is nice to see some shake-up in an area that needed it.
