Elite Series 2 ProTip: Elite Series 2 supports 'Shift' functionality, similar to the XAC. You can assign a button/paddle to be 'Shift' (think of a Shift key on Windows), and when you hold down that button/paddle, other buttons on the controller can be used for alternative inputs.

I love Halo Infinite. It’s an incredible game. My main feedback (aside from progression, which 343 is aware of) is SBMM strength in Quick Play & BTB. Our core group can’t play together because of it. It needs to be toned down, or removed. QP should be random matchmaking, IMO.

Great quote from @XboxP3 during The AIAS Game Maker’s Notebook podcast: “I think I’m going to have a game console plugged into my television for the next decade-plus. It’s going to be the best way to play on my television — to download locally and play.”

Xbox boss expects to keep a console under his TV for the next 10+ years

Xbox is working on its cloud gaming service, but it isn't done with consoles. Phil Spencer thinks devices will grow up with the tech.
