Halo 3 Servers Finally Shut Down… RIP!

Halo 3 Servers Shut Down

Sad news for gamers this week! Microsoft and 343 Industries have shut down the Halo Xbox 360 matchmaking servers. The games include Halo 3, Halo 4 and Halo: Reach.

The internet mourns the end of such an era – the age of Halo. The perfect escape with friends – many many happy memories made! The image below shows the date as December 2021, as that was the original date planned for the servers to shut down, but it was delayed by a couple of weeks and shut down a couple of days ago, instead.

There’s one silver lining though – you can play these games online via the Master Chief Collection (MCC) on Steam for example. Although there’s a few functionalities missing, such as fileshare and player customization.

Tributes for the game started pouring in from all across the world for the game and people took to Twitter, Reddit and YouTube to share their final moments in the game; or simply talk about their happy memories with Halo. Here’s a few of our favorite memes and videos!

Now there’s nothing…. but darkness. 🙁

Microsoft is optimizing Windows 11 to make it even FASTER! Should you upgrade?

Windows 11 Logo

Hey everyone! First of all, wish you guys a very happy 2022! Thanks for being with us since the beginning and supporting us with your business and feedback.

Now, onto the topic – Windows 11.

Called the most secure Windows version yet, it has been dubbed as the greatest update and upgrade yet. It utilizes Secure Boot because of TPM 2.0 requirements and makes it super safe.

One of the biggest changes was in terms of design. It looks and feels brilliant. Visually, it portrays itself as a very fresh and fluid design and is a great deal different from most of its older counterparts. It is as if MacOS came to Windows! And the dark mode looks SICK!

Productivity wise, it’s got really great features like the Snap Groups feature, and has a brand new File Explorer menu as well. A few problems arise with compatibility. Many users and tech gurus have expressed concerns over this strict feature – it has sparked a controversy. f you want the latest OS, you’ll need an Intel Core 8th-gen processor or newer, or an AMD Ryzen 2000 processor or newer. Basically if your computer was purchased 4 years ago or earlier – it won’t be compatible.

Another issue is with performance. Is it worth it? Well, the animations are smoother and the loading times are a tad bit faster. But it’s nothing extraordinary – nothing too noticeable. Although Microsoft claims that this is the best possible OS for gaming in the market right now. Who are we to deny that?!

Watch this video below that shows the comparison between Win 10 and 11!

Well, whatever you choose, it doesn’t matter! Because we have them both, at the MOST AFFORDABLE RATE EVER.

Don’t believe us? Then click here to have a look! Well, that’s it for today folks! Hope you have a lovely entry into this new year and have loads of fun! Until next time 😀

RIP Windows 7 – You will be missed.

Buy Windows 10 Now Cheap CD Key

Yes, you heard it right. Windows 7 support ends after today. Sad news for all Win7 peeps out there. Press F for respects.

Over a million PCs still use Windows 7 and Microsoft has been urging them to update their OS since a few years now.

But at last, we bid farewell to something that we all loved, something that was designed to cover up the abomination that we now call Windows Vista – and so the official support for it ends on the 14.01.20.

If you’re still using Windows 7, we’d recommend you update to a newer release, like Windows 8 or Windows 10 Pro, which are both pretty decent Win OS versions with constant fixes and patches.

Using Windows 7 after today can be extremely risky and can put your PC under a lot of threats, since there won’t be ANY kind of fix for that and can really set you in a vulnerable position if someone tries to exploit the bugs that are present in the OS.

Yes, we’ve watched a bit too much of Mr. Robot, haha. But yeah, take care and update it as soon as possible.

If you’ve not updated it yet – get Windows 10 from HERE at an incredibly low price.

Have a nice week!

Halo Infinite – All Things You Need To Know

E3 2019 was a blast. We saw tons of cool games, trailers, reveals, etc. and it was fun.

Halo : Infinite was a part of the mega cluster – and boy, they didn’t disappoint.

Although Microsoft calls it a glorious reboot, it still continues from Halo 5, and resumes where it last left off. So technically, this is Halo 6.

WHEN?

The game will release in 2020, although no exact date has been confirmed or revealed as of now. In the trailer, it only said “Holidays 2020.”

WHERE?

As of now, Halo Infinite has been confirmed for Windows (PC) and an exclusive title for
Xbox Project Scarlett. So, we can expect the next gen console to be released around the same time of course, which is in 2020.

HOW?

This is a nice one – Microsoft is going to be using their all new Slipspace Engine for the game, and it will be revolutionary.T

WHAT?

Well, this has a few points –

Master Chief will be the main protagonist here and the game will be more “human”, featuring more RPG elements and be immersive in nature.

The game will feature split-screen again, taking the feedback they received after it was removed in the last title.

It will not feature a Battle Royale mode as of now – Microsoft doesn’t want to sway in to that and do the same thing literally EVERY single game dev has been doing in these last couple of years.

It will most definitely have a multiplayer mode though. Oh and yes, the Forge returns! Endless possibilities, and will enhance the overall game.

Finally 2 important things – No loot boxes, and a private online beta incoming. There is little intel on microtransactions though, but of course, it’s still early to think about that.

Well, that’s all for this time, thank you very much for tuning in! See you again very soon!
