I have a group of friends who play it regularly, it’s back to the good old days of Halo 2/3 but the need to balance the weapons a bit (commando is worse than a pistol) and add more maps soon.

the deal can’t go through until 2023
Do we have to wait until that long for the A-B library to be on Game Pass? That seems so far away.

It’s a multi-country deal…. This might take years
No, previous acquisitions have resulted in some games being added to Game Pass before completion.

Anyone still playing Flight Sim on Series X? Can you use a keyboard and mouse with it?
Yup you can use them for FS on Xbox. I plugged mine in the other day and it recognised it

Cool; I take it controls are just like PC with a mouse/keyboard? Half looking at one of the Xbox compatible controllers (Turtlebeach or Boeing Yoke) but I don't think either has enough buttons to map everything that I'd need!
From the limited time I looked in the menus yeah it seems that way.
In fact because I'd first played FS on my PC when it was first released, it had saved my config from the PC to cloud, so when I first installed FS on Xbox it wouldn't navigate the menus properly (i had no cursor that I could move with the thumb sticks) because it had loaded my PC config lol So to even navigate the menu's properly I had to plug in a mouse first and then reset my config to allow navigation with a pad!

I've had a lot of fun with it over Christmas but it clearly has cheaters on PC format using aim bot exploits. Being forced to play cross play with PC is insane anyways, it just doesn't make sense. Give us the option.
That aside it it needs some updates and some TLC with new content, as it's starting to feel a bit stale.

My 14D13H playtime would suggest that I love it
I only play one night a week now to do the weekly challenges. They need to add more maps and modes, and delete those 2 awful maps from the 4v4 playlists.
Yea, more content is needed - Forge can't come soon Enough.
Behemoth and Launch site?
(ps: I don't actually dislike Behemoth all that much. Least Favourite of the ranked maps, sure, but find it refreshing now and then. I like Launch, because I challenge myself to see how many Kong medals I can get - so satisfying)

Yeah those two.
Behemoth is fine on ranked as it's only CTF, but on the other modes it's atrocious. Particularly slayer when the map loadout has the commando instead of the BR, and the daft vehicles.
Launch site has no redeeming features at all and should just be deleted. Maybe if would work for an infection game type.
The Razer Turret works very well.
But fusion coils!
You are right though, it's dire... if it weren;t for those, I'd quit every game on it

Thanks I'll take a look! I've been considering the new Boeing Yoke / Throttle setup which is Xbox compatible, I'm not a Boeing fan (A320 in game mainly) but it looks to be pretty mappable.
Also seems likely that if we get "better, more complex" planes on Xbox its likely to be Boeing with PMDG working on bringing their much hyped 737 to Xbox Series X/S at some point.
Can't see the A32X project ever being ported though

You can tell Max Payne is now BC the price of it has shot up!
It was just on a big sale along with a load of other BC games.
