Halo 4 news: Only thing many of you will care about: no downtime during updates/upgrades.

Using Windows Azure has other advantages, too, mainly in the development process. Hook says the cloud service gave his programmers the tools they needed to develop and test in parallel.

...

For gamers, they shouldn't notice a thing, which is the point. In fact, one of the advangages of switching to a cloud-backed system is that the Halo network won't go down when it needs upgrades. Just keep on fragging, guys.

What is multiplayer like? Are weapons still on the map or is it all ordnance-based now?

I like the extra weapons and AAs, just not sure how I'll like such a massive change in the gameplay mechanics if weapons are no longer on the map!

Haven't touched the multiplayer, been too busy with the campaign :p Pretty sure I read somewhere that there are random ordinance drops to stop people from camping spawn points.

Camping spawn points was a valid tactic though :( Was annoying for the casuals but I play each Halo game for like three years and get quite good at them.

    • Why it's almost impossible to produce a smartphone in the United States

      Tim Cook: "The US over time began to stop having as many vocational kinds of skills." What's the point of wasting time getting those skills if you can't get a job with them? Good Lord, maybe he and his cohort of CEO's who exported all these jobs to China should just shut the f**k up :D

    • Microsoft Opens Fairwater: Wisconsin AI Campus Runs as One Supercomputer via 800G Ethernet

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      Closed-loop cooling and a custom 800G network protocol let the $7.3B campus run as one AI training machine. Microsoft confirmed June 23, 2026, that its Fairwater campus in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, is fully operational — and the engineering behind it makes the facility something fundamentally different from every data center that came before it. Where conventional cloud infrastructure racks up general-purpose servers and parcels out workloads to each one independently, Fairwater links hundreds of thousands of NVIDIA GB200 Blackwell GPUs into a single, coherent cluster using a two-story building design, 800-gigabit-per-second Ethernet fabric, and a proprietary networking protocol co-developed with OpenAI and NVIDIA. The result, according to Microsoft, is the closest thing to a purpose-built AI supercomputer that any company has ever placed in commercial operation. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/319205/20260627/microsoft-opens-fairwater-wisconsin-ai-campus-runs-one-supercomputer-via-800g-ethernet.htm
