Arma 3’s next DLC takes us back to World War II
Super serious shooter Arma 3 is leaning into its strengths in the next Creator DLC, called Spearhead 1944, which takes us back to World War II.

Developer Bohemia Interactive say we’ll “be a part of the US First Army’s advance as they attempt to break through the German lines,” while using US equipment to “traverse the fields and bocage an all-new Normandy terrain.” Take a look at the impending battle below.

Modders are restoring loads of lost Halo maps to the Master Chief Collection after year-long project

Over the weekend, Halo’s community team posted a new blog post detailing the results of a year-long partnership with Digsite to restore lost features from Halo’s cutting room floor to the Master Chief Collection – including never-before-seen maps and weapons from the archives of Halo: Combat Evolved, as well as some vehicles from the series’ earliest days as a third-person shooter and real-time strategy game.
