Because a few players have opted to drop out of the Capcom Cup, players behind them in the rankings have been pulled in for an invite.
Last week, it was revealed that Misterio would not be able to attend the event, and as a result, the next highest ranked player was invited into his spot. This turned out to be Kenneth “K-Brad” Bradley.
Following from Misterio's announcement, Tse444 then revealed that he had decided to opt out of the Capcom Cup. Once again, this left a spot waiting to be filled and such a spot went straight into the hands of Fujimura "Yukadon" Atsushi.
Perhaps more interestingly is the extra qualification given to Humanbomb after Younes "CCL" Lazaar decided to drop out. Humanbomb also qualified for Capcom Cup in 2015 and managed to get a ninth place finish, despite his lower rankings.
Humanbomb will end up being the lowest ranked player in the entirety of the Capcom Cup Top 32 event, and his first match up will be against Lee "Infiltration" Seonwoo.

Sony has recently announced a brand new limited edition PlayStation 4 bundle that will feature a gold colored console and DualShock 4 controller. The new bundle will only be available for a limited period and it has been announced in partnership with Taco Bell.
Yes, that's right. Over at the PlayStation blog, Sony has revealed that a brand new partnership with Taco Bell has resulted in the birth of the new gold PlayStation 4. From what I've heard from others, it seems like there have been mixed views on the appearance of the new gold PS4 but I personally like it.
Unfortunately, the new gold PlayStation 4 cannot be purchased. Instead, players must go down to Taco Bell and purchase any Big Box. By doing so, Taco Bell customers will be given a code that can be used for a chance to win a PlayStation 4.
There will only be 6,000 gold PlayStation 4's in existence and one bundle will be given out to a winner every 10 minutes between September 24th and November 4th. Considering

M Bison has just been revealed by Capcom in a brand new reveal trailer for the character. The new trailer shows off a few other Street Fighter V characters before showing the new M Bison. Unsurprisingly, not much has changed to the character, but M Bison has had a nice re-texture to meet the higher quality graphics that Street Fighter V features.
M Bison originally made his way into the Street Fighter franchise in Street Fighter 2 and as you can imagine, he has stuck around ever since.
So far, we're still not very sure about the confirmed lineup for Street Fighter 5, but M Bison makes his way as the fourth confirmed character. Before M Bison, players were introduced officially to Ryu, Chun Li and Charlie.
It's likely that we'll see a large roster of character we've already seen from Street Fighter titles in the past and if we're lucky we may see a new face or two as well. Unfortunately Capcom has chosen to reveal each character separately so it may be some time before

DICE has announced that they will be releasing the Heist mode into the upcoming Battlefield Hardline beta, but there is a catch. Players will need to work together as a community to unlock the Heist mode.
A new 'community mission' has been announced for Battlefield 4 players, and it asks players to accumulate a global total of 2 billion points in Battlefield 4's Rush mode. If players manage to reach this goal before the end of the month, then players will be rewarded with the Heist mode for Battlefield Hardline.
Whilst this seems like an odd move to get more people playing Battlefield 4 in anticipation for Hardline, I have a feeling that the 2 billion Rush points should easily be reached. In fact, I expect that the average amount of weekly Rush points is close enough to two billion anyway so players should not have to worry about getting the Heist mode unlocked for the Hardline beta.
If you do want to do your part, you can head into Battlefield 4 and play through any

New Doom
It happened before with the current generation: a classic arcade shooter was remade and redefined for the Xbox, and it could happen again. Doom 3 didn't gain as much success as expected though, particularly for the reason that the arcade shooter style of the game has now become a rather 'niche' genre. However, that hasn't stopped many getting excited for what could possibly turn out to be the next in the series.
There's two causes for the rumors to spread about Doom 4, one of which was located on Lead Programmer of ID Software, Brian Hill's LinkedIn profile stated that he was 'the lead behind Doom 4,' giving fans a huge hint that the fourth installment is coming, however it was unknown for what platform, and when.
Recently, Brian Hill took to his Twitter to send out a tweet that Doom fans had also picked apart as something regarding development for the fourth Doom game.
"Currently home taking care of a new baby girl. When I get back, I'll

Halo 4 MLG
If you're into the competitive side of First person shooters, whether for the social aspect, or for more serious reasons, you'll be happy to know that 343 have finally released the official Halo 4 MLG settings.
The settings are only V1 though, so all is subject to change, and change is definitely expected, especially when Halo: Reach had 8 different versions until it was defined perfectly, and Halo 4 has brought all new physics and gameplay mechanics back into the Halo Universe, so this time round it may take even more tweaking than before.
However, the base settings for V1 include a set structure, and it'll be interesting to see how the community adapts to it. The primary weapon on V1 is surprisingly the BR, taking the DMR completely out of the picture for now. There have been a lot of discussion over which weapon is best, and although there really isn't any clear picture, choosing the BR is a nice initiative and hopefully it'll stick.

Black Ops DLC
If you've made your way to GameStop this month, you may have noticed a poster advertisement for the first DLC pack for Black Ops 2. Although there has been no official announcement from the developers of the game, it's clear that new DLC is coming this month.
It's a little strange that GameStop have been able to advertise this information before an official announcement, but it's likely that they have partnered with Treyarch to allow themselves the honor of showcasing the games content before anyone else.
The new downloadable content title is named Revolution, and if the information on the poster is true, it will be released on January the 29th.
According to the poster, the new DLC pack will include four brand new multiplayer maps, and a new Zombies map. On the poster, the four multiplayer maps have been named Hydro, Downhill, Grind and Mirage, whilst the Zombie map has been named Die Riese. Currently there is no certainty

New Abilities Halo 4
Halo modding prodigy nowise10 has managed to find some interesting things locked inside the Halo 4 game disc, including two armor abilities that never made it into the full release game.
A video by Halo Council has been put up on Youtube showing the new armor abilities in action. The first ability, teleport, works similarly to thruster pack does currently. However, you can teleport from one position to another without being in danger of getting damaged by other players and the distance seems a lot larger compared to the thruster pack jump distance.
The second armor ability is named hacker and it can in essence stop other players from using their armor abilities. In the video the player demonstrates good use of the hacker ability by stopping a player from using a jet pack while he's in mid-air, as well as disabling most of the other abilities too.
It's unknown why these armor abilities weren't put into the game physically, however

Borderlands 2 DLC
As well as confirming that Sir Hammerlock's Big Game Hunt will indeed be a new DLC update next year, Randy Pitchford, President of Gearbox Games, has told fans that there will be a lot more content to follow in 2013.
Randy had used Twitter to give details on upcoming content, such as Sir Hammerlock's Big Game Hunt, and fans have responded eagerly.
"Sir Hammerlock has a grand adventure in store for us all in the deepest wilds of Pandora. Sir Hammerlock's Big Game Hunt is really badass. Will be best BL2 DLC yet."
As well as new DLC missions and stories, new content for Borderlands 2 will help to keep maxed out players enjoying the game, whilst still offering new content for newer players as well. Around 15% of players are currently maxed out with at least one character in Borderlands 2, according to Gearbox Games, and Randy and the Borderlands 2 team want to act accordingly. 2013 will bring a higher level cap raise, and a possible
