Crimson doesn't show up how? Can you select them for custom games? You do know the Crimson playlist has been removed now?

343 will be bringing yet another update to Halo 4's War Games multiplayer next week, with the addition of the Extraction Mode playlist and a couple of new Forge maps, namely the arena-style Simplex and the cliffside "semi-symmetrical on-disc Ravine variant" Settler. Here's the lowdown on Extraction, according to the latest Halo Waypoint bulletin: "Extraction is a 5 vs. 5 objective-based game type where opposing Spartan teams are tasked with extracting assets from various sites around the map. Once a team has found a site and is in position, they must plant their beacon and protect it from the opposing team while the extraction process occurs. If the defending team remains in control of the beacon, they receive one point, however if the opposing team overtakes the site before extraction is complete, the point is theirs. Once a site has been extracted, a new site becomes available. The first team to extract five points wins." Here's the settings that the Extraction playlist will feature: Mode - Extraction Team Setup - 5 vs. 5 Score to Win - 5 Loadouts - Custom Instant Respawn - Disabled Death Cam - Enabled Motion Tracker - Enabled Personal Ordnance - Disabled Active Sites - Map Dependent Site Location - Sequential Site Movement - On Extraction Arming Time - 3 Seconds Extraction Time - 45 Seconds Conversion Time - 3 Seconds Timer Pause - Enabled You'll be able to get involved with the Extraction Mode and new Forge maps when the latest Halo 4 update hits on March 4th.

Well done to all the winners and for deciphering the codes Also well done to all involved in a brilliant competition which was well thought out, planned and executed to perfection.

I couldnt agree with you more, Gears 3 is very alike to Halo 4 at the moment, its put the franchise on hold for a lot of people, Halo 4 like Gears 3 was a step too far for a lot of people, whilst either game doesnt have that much wrong with it, its enough of a change to make a lot of fans leave/moan. Lets hope Gears of War Judgement rekindles the fire for the Gears franchise and the Halo 2 Reboot (you know its coming, especially due to the fact Halo 4 has not set the community alight) rekindle the love for Halo Nice OP

Looks like the specs for Microsoft’s new Kinect unit have leaked online, courtesy of VGLeaks. According to the report, the new improved Kinect will sport an increased field of view and a higher depth range in order to allow up to six users to play at once. This is facilitated by a 70-degree horizontal and 60-degree vertical field of view, which is up from 57.6 and 43.5 on the current units. Thanks to this the new Kinect model will not need to tilt in any way. It should just see everything that’s going on in the room. The sensor has also been beefed up, according to the report, returning a full HD resolution colour stream at 30 frames per second. That compares favourably to the current unit which returns just 15fps at lower resolutions. The new Kinect will also be able to recognise whether players’ hands are open or closed, provide better skeleton tracking thanks to improved joint detection, and offer tailored options for standing or seated players. It has previously reported that the new Kinect unit will ship with every next-gen Xbox console. All of which is kinda cool. We’ll wait for official confirmation, and more importantly some quality games to play with the thing, before we get excited. Full specs below.
