It seems that seasonal content is all the rage these days, and Halloween 2020 is sizing up to be particularly crowded in the gaming market. Today, a substantial bit of information leaked for the Rainbow Six Siege Halloween event. Specifically, the video above shows from the second season of Rainbow Six Siege. Gameplay is the same: Take control of an S-Engine respawning manned explosive device, and assault squads of close-range enemies.In this release, possession of the twin explosives will cause the player to "lose control" when it becomes active. Being caught with the explosives will result in close to instant death, but will also have the added bonus of placing the killer on the Terrorists side.Obviously, the best way to try these out is to try the first Scrimmage. If nothing else, it will give you you time to recall all of your gear before the Halloween event.

At Spa Francorchamps on Saturday, we finally learned just how much the electronic assist was supposed to save defending champion Nico Rosberg's title-game chance. That's because, according to the numbers provided by some interesting flourishes on the McLaren data link, Hamilton was ahead of Rosberg's factory Mercedes. What happened next was have beady eyes everywhere, as the McLarens got faster and faster—up to, and even beyond, lapping a crash-splattered Rosberg's Ferrari—and the numbers climbed accordingly. In a 6-hour car sitting on the same track, the "average" lap time (which means, of course, that improving at Spa, after months of getting blown around by Tornado front- braking, capped at a ware formation lap on track speed was not an option) was its own slow-motion spinning reversal.
The problem, as Hamilton and leader Marco Schupbach agreed after the race, was never with the electronic control—it just wasn't working. No amount of transmission diagnostics or set-up work could discern where the trouble lay. Instead, it seemed and felt like we were playing in the weeds with dummy cars at Snetterton steaming all-out, but such is the way of electronic race control. Given this, and with 80 laps still later, the only conclusion we can come to, based on actual data, is that a championship-ending accident actually happened. This, of course, hinges on but a smidgen of truth: no one—not Di Resta, not Ricciardo—really had enough knowledge of such things.
However, it's not an excuse to pass on all the information around. This is what lead a frustrated Hamilton to snarl angrily at television interviewer Ross Brawn in British television the final evening of
