Cyberpunk 2077 Is Back?

Project Red's Cyberpunk 2077 has had a rocky start since it's launch at the end of 2020, with fans left disappointed and feeling let down at a title which promised to be perfect for next gen consoles. Cyberpunk 2077 has left a bitter taste in users' mouths.
 
But those at Project Red were not going to be left stranded and defeated by the fans and the title's sloppy release. 
A huge update was released for all platforms.
 
PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X now have its promised buttery smooth 60 frames per second, while the Xbox Series S is at 30 frames per second. 
With the return of screen space reflections for consoles, so the "wet" made a return to the scene for players to enjoy those beautiful reflections on the ground. 
 
Players can now enjoy a free-five hour "trial" to explore and experience Night City in all its glory, a demo, this is unheard of in 2022. 
 
More about the update, next gen update 1.5 is measured to be a whopping 50 GB and features a reworked perked system. Some skills getting a rework and others to be removed entirely. Players have reported that knife throwing is now pretty good and can even act as a boomerang, now that's cool!
 
With the reintroduction of the rebalanced combat system, enemies seek for cover, react more intelligently and overall appear more human like rather than AI. With improvements to driving also, vehicles feel more life like to handle rather than on permanent ice grip tires with steering wheel connected to a potato.
 
 

A check list of everything which players complained about, reportedly to be fixed within Cyberpunk 2077
 
 
There have been significant upgrades and reworks to the city of Night City too, implementations to make it feel more real, crowds will now react realistically to your actions, rather than an entire street ducking to the floor and cowering in fear when you accidently shoved a passerby, and to not despawn when you simply spin around.
The city itself appears to be more lively, in a way that is unmatched to its initial launch. A large over haul to the map, lighting, and other quality to life changes to make the users experience more smooth and better to experience.
 
These improvements and changes surely are to improve your Night City experience, and to wipe out the strange bugs which occurred on Next Gen Consoles.
 
Are you looking forward to being able to play Project Red's Cyber Punk once again and experience its full glory?

Halo Infinite Ranks Are Being Reset

Halo Infinite will be getting an update to its competitive ranked playlist this coming Tuesday (22nd February) which will better distribute players into the skill tiers. Up to now the system has been very generous to the players, placing them higher than they should be.
With this update the ranks of every player will be reset, meaning you will need to complete your placement games once again and should expect to be a full tier lower than what you placed last time.
 
If you want to hear more about this update and exactly what parameters are changing in the playlist, check out the below video.

Our Support Teams Need You!

Are you wanting to become more involved in the community?
Do you have skills in coding, graphics design, writing, streaming, or training?
If so, we have teams for you!
 
Our Coding, Digital Media, News, and Stream Teams are all positions that you can join in addition to your current position. No need to leave the group of people you are already with!
The Training Office offers game specific positions, so you would be required to leave your squad/section, but you would be able to still play the game during practices!
 
The following are the current open positions based off of each team, with a little insight from different people in TG. 
 
 

 
Do you have experience with coding? We are in need of coders to help make the website run smoothly! Amount of time needed to dedicate to this position depends on tickets that come in and projects that are going on. 
 
@TGxMaddawg138 has been with the Coding Team for a few months, but was also with the coding team during his previous stent in TG.
Here is what he has to say about the team:
"So what I like about the team is that I get to work with Biggy and Hobo as well as the rest of the Web Team and being able to figure out little problems when they arise and being able to go and fix them when needed.  Plus I get a cool looking badge on my profile as well!  😆
The biggest thing that I do right now is focus on Web Tickets and work on the backend of the forum software and fix any issues that may arise, such as permission issues, managing different role permissions/limits etc and then whatever tasks Biggy/Hobo decide they want/need me to do.  It also lets me practice more on my coding ability and get better at doing some of the little things that I haven't been able to do as much since I got my Associates in Computer Networking over 10 years ago."
 
If interested, apply by clicking HERE!
 
 

 
Do you have experience in creating graphics? Do you enjoy being able to be creative by bringing people's ideas to life? We are in need of Digital Media Team members to help create signatures, article images, squad/section banners, avatars, etc. Amount of time needed to dedicate to this position depends on tickets that come in and projects that are going on. 
 
@Osiris has been with the Digital Media Team a few times during his three years in TG.
Here is what he has to say about the team:
"I enjoy working in the DMT because I like to be able to give back to the community through a creative medium. I run a graphics shop as well. Which even though is fairly new I try to get the turnaround rate in a few days."
Here is a recent signature (resized for the purpose of this article) that he created:

 
If interested, apply by clicking HERE!
 
 

 
Would you like to write articles, create videos, conduct podcasts about TG or gaming news? Are you interested, but are worried about your writing capability? We have an editor that can assist! We are in need of News Team members to help spread the word! Amount of time needed to dedicate this time is being able to complete two tasks a month. You can write about things of your choosing or we can help give you ideas. As breaking news comes through in the gaming industry, you may occasionally be assigned an article, but most of the time, you get to pick!
 
@ItzKieren has been on the news team several times during his TG tenures. 
Here is what he has to say about the team:
"I enjoy being in the know, getting to receive the latest gaming related news and to research and share my experience and pass on the knowledge to an amazing community."
 
If interested, apply by clicking HERE!
 
 

 
Do you enjoy streaming your games? Do you already have followers on your personal account? We are in need of streamers to join our Stream Team! Amount of time required is at least 2 hours per week. TG Rules and Regulations must be respected. 
 
@TG Datdamsniper has been a member of the team for about 8 months. 
Here is what he has to say about the team:
"
"I enjoy being on the Stream Team because it allows me to help spread Tactical Gaming in other ways besides just recruiting in game. I find that the Stream Team is a way to put a face to the members of TG especially during the charity events the Stream Team runs as these are always a good time for everyone, and let's us interact with fellow TG members in ways we can't in game while supporting awesome causes!
 I personally tend to stream Rocket League mostly as it is one of my stronger games skill wise,  but being in the Vanguard I also am looking to use the platform as a way of showing off other games in our division and help build them with the ultimate goal of pushing out divisions to help strengthen TG."
 
If interested, apply by clicking HERE!
 
All of the above positions are the ones that you can hold in addition to the position you are currently in.
 

 
The Training Office requires a lot more time and dedication than the above, so that is why you would be required to leave your squad, battalion, or division staff position to join. The training office does many different tasks. A few of them are: assists with new recruits, ensures current staff are trained properly, assist with creating callouts and ATC's, and many more things. If you like being able to work with others, this could be a great position for you!
 
@TG RateMyGame has been an Assistant Trainer for just under one year. He started in Escape from Tarkov, but then transferred to CoD.
Here is what he has to say about the Training Office:
"Being in the TO has a lot of jobs. Firstly the TO is the first point of contact for all new recruits upon registering for TG any questions or queries they may have. Most of our work is on the forums, we create and update all the documents needed for the divisions. This includes the Squad Training Manual, Division Map Callouts, and ATC's, I could go on. On top of this we also make sure that all staff within our respective division have completed the required tests for that role as well as assist staff in all matters regarding training. I enjoy being in the TO because it not only challenges me with thinking of new ideas but to work with the wonderful staff within the CoD Division making the division a better place for all our CoD members."
 
Currently, we have several open positions within the Training Office. If you are interested, please apply:
TW Head Trainer
TW Vanguard Assistant Trainer
Arma Assistant Trainer
Halo Assistant Trainer
LoL Assistant Trainer
 
 
If you are interested in any of the positions, but have additional questions, please feel free to reach out to myself (@TG HSquared) for Coding, Digital Media, News, and Stream Team positions. For the Training Office openings please reach out to your CoC or @TG Killswitch. We look forward to seeing your applications!

Halo Infinite Desync Is Being Fixed!

As some of you may be aware, especially if you are playing a lot of Halo Infinite, there is a huge issue with the game's latency from you to the server and to everyone else in the game.
 
343 industries have decided to give us a lot of in depth details on why the desync is there, and how they are mitigating its effects right now. There is a new patch and in the future there will be even more patches.
 
Some of the issues that occur from this include being shot around corners, shot registration, phasing through enemies, and a permanent desync which puts you in a completely different place than where the server thinks you are.
 
The below video will deep dive into everything covered in the blog post so you know exactly what's going on right now and in the future surrounding this issue.

BTB is FINALLY Fixed

Halo Infinite has been given a long awaited Big Team Battle patch which fixes the playlist, allowing players to find games again.
On top of that the playlist has been given gameplay and setting changes to help the matches feel more alive and like an actual "Big Team Battle".
 
Separate to the Big Team Battle changes, Oddball, an arena gamemode, has been given rule changes and a ranked FFA gamemode has been added to the custom gamemode list, perhaps hinting at it's addition to the matchmaking lineup.
 
Be sure to check out the below video to get all of the in-depth details on the update!

Halo Division Returns!

January 25, 2022, marks a very exciting time for us here at TG, many of you are aware of the Vanguard Division in both TW & TA are housed for games which are both new and old to be apart of this community and a chance to grow and become a fully fledge division with enough members and commitment. 
 
Well, on January 25th, we saw Halo Division graduated from a couple of squads in TW's Vanguard and granted their own Division! Halo Division is back within TG, and at the helm as BGC is @TG Schmitty, who was a member of Halo Division back in 2019. Schmitty brings with him long line of experience, from Squad Staff in the former PUBG division to Division Staff over at APEX. Halo Division will be a smooth train on it's journey with this individual at the helm.
 
For a better part of a year, Halo Squads in Vanguard have grown steadily and held itself as a respectable place within Vanguard, now with the transition into a Dedicated Division, the member's inside can stretch their legs and continue building what was once, TG's greatest's Divisions and one which TG was well known for it's Roll of Honor.
 
 

 
This division has a history of competitiveness both inside and largely outside of TG;
Halo Division has an entry of 16 competitive awards from it's initial entry back in 2009 which include 5 first place finishes. These are squad awards and a few are individual Member recognitions within this time. 
 
This division has many members who are long standing individuals of this community, we cannot wait to this them come together and continue the legacy which is Halo Division!
 
 
Here is a statement from @TG Schmitty ;
 
"It is so great to have Halo back as a standalone division! With it’s storied past for many TG veterans, it was only appropriate for us to bring it back to life. We were all surprised to see Infinite drop in November earlier than expected, but were ready to get to work. With the release of Infinite we hit up transfers from other divisions, members coming off leave, and spamming in game recruits. We started out with 5 guys in 1st battalion and 5 guys in 2nd battalion. Now, we have over 10 guys in each battalion to make 3 squads total. We have a mix of old faces, new faces, Onyx sweats and Silver ranked members which makes for great fun and learning. We have a bright future ahead with the game and our solid staff in place leading the troops.
 
Looking ahead, we have a lot of exciting things planned. In February we will have watch parties for the HCS competitions. This will be a relaxed watch party where we can enjoy watching the pros play, pick up some tips and tricks while having fun with each other. Even though we do not have the Forge mode in game yet, we will be planning to start putting together ATC’s for the division as it will be a great way to add competition and fun since the playlists are a little light on game modes at the moment.
 
One of our Halo members also just joined the New Teams, @TheHal09uy. He has been making videos for the Division with callouts and any game related patch updates and will be a great asset in using this avenue on the Youtube channel to bring more exposure to the division and TG.
 
@ItzBeeDee also has been streaming most practice nights and will be another key for exposure for us growing and improving.
 
There is also a competitive drive between some of the squads and requests to start making preparations to bring back our CS squads! We even have a Halo tournament planned in the works for those inside TG as well as inviting outside teams. All of this success would not have been possible without the support of all our fellow squad members, dedicated staff and support from TWC and TGEC. We gave every challenge our best shot"
 
 
We wish them the very best of luck.
Give Every Challenge Your Best Shot!
