We’ve seen some seriously impressive Halo 5: Guardians Forge creations in the past, including Halo versions of Qudditch and Star Wars podracing. Now, someone has used the game’s Forge tools to bring Battlefield 1-like dogfighting to the game–and it looks pretty fun.

The map is called “WWF Fire in the Sky” and it was created by JoeAct20. As explained in the overview video below from ZannyVids, the “Air Superiority” mode supports 2v2, 4v4, 6v6, and 8v8. JoeAct20 melded a Warthog onto a Banshee, making the hybrid vehicle look like a war plane. Two players sit in each plane; one flies the Banshee and the other uses the Warthog turret to shoot down enemy planes.

The map itself looks fairly expansive, giving players the space and freedom to fly around and approach enemies from different angles. Watch the video above to see the mode in action.

In other news about Halo 5, the game celebrated its first birthday last week. Developer 343 Industries has already released nine free expansions for the game–and the studio is not done yet. You can expect more maps for Warzone Firefight, new Forge canvases, an “improved spectator experience,” and the ability to join live custom games on Xbox One and Windows 10 PC.

Additionally, 343 is working on improvements for matchmaking and Halo 5’s servers. 343 will share concrete details on what’s coming “in the not-so-distant future.”

Ubisoft has released a new teaser for its next Rainbow Six Siege content update, which is called “Operation Red Cross.” The video is a short look at the new map, which is in Japan.

“Our fourth post-launch free map is perched high above the streets of Nagoya, Japan, set on top of The Skyscraper,” read’s the video’s description. “Get ready for pulse-pounding rappels in the hazy morning sun with Operation Red Crow!”

The Operation Red Crow DLC will be fully unveiled on November 12 and 13 during the Rainbow Six Siege Pro League semi-finals and finals. Ubisoft will host a live panel and also a demo of the new content.

Although a new Operator isn’t featured in a video, a previous leak indicated the Red Crow DLC will have a new character. A Twitter user named Jon Kay posted a video showing footage of what he alleged are the new Operator and map for Season 4 of Rainbow Six Siege. The map shown in this video lines up with what’s shown in the teaser above.

In other Rainbow Six Siege news, a leaked Ubisoft survey has indicated the game could get a second season pass, although content like new maps and Operators would likely continue to be offered for free to everyone.

In GameSpot’s Rainbow Six Siege review, Scott Butterworth awarded the title 8/10, saying “there’s nothing else like it” when it works.

“It’s not designed to appeal to all players, and that’s exactly what allows it to be something special. With so much strategic depth, those periods between firefights actually become some of the most rewarding, while firefights themselves are made all the more intense by the knowledge that you’re fighting for your life, not just your kill/death ratio.”

Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare features a number of modes that will truly test your skills. As detailed on Activision’s blog, the Specialist Mode is unlocked once the campaign is completed on any difficulty. It is described as “intensely realistic” and “not for the faint of heart.”

In this mode you can only heal with Nano Shots as there are no health regeneration. That alone ratchets up the challenge, but there’s a whole lot more to it that’ll put you to the test. Take a look at the full list of special conditions introduced in Specialist Mode below.

• You can only heal with Nano Shots, there is no health regeneration in this mode.
• Helmets are your only protection from headshots. They will take permanent damage and will need to be replaced.
• Both Nano Shots and helmets take up equipment slots, so remember to equip them in your loadout on the Retribution before each level.
• Master the lean from behind cover mechanic, which will be critical for your survival. Approach the edge of cover while standing or crouching, and aim down sights when you see a chevron appear on the side of your crosshairs. You will auto-pop from behind cover as you ADS.
• If you get shot in the legs, it will impact your movement. If you get shot in either arm, it will impact your ability to use equipment or aim down sights. Note: Your weapon can be shot out of your hands.

If you manage to complete Specialist Mode, you’ll get access to the YOLO Mode. As fans of Canadian rapper Wheel Chair Jimmy know, YOLO stands for “You Only Live Once,” so you can probably figure out what makes this Infinite Warfare mode tricky.

“This mode is unlocked after beating the game on Specialist, and well… you only live once. By that we mean genuine permadeath,” explained Activision. “If you die, you will start all the way back at the beginning of the entire game.”

Infinite Warfare will unlock at midnight ET on November 4 in North America, which comes out to 9 PM PT on November 3. If you preordered a premium version of Infinite Warfare on PS4, you can start playing Modern Warfare Remastered’s campaign right now.
