I checked with a source I have who is close to Gearbox and the best info I can confirm is that Gearbox has definitely had conversations with Microsoft about doing a new "Halo" game and is very excited at the prospect.
The Spec V is available only with a close-ratio six-speed manual gearbox, which does the job without quirks or wobbles between gears.
It's already quite the big deal, and having categorically destroyed the chances of its closest-in-the-calendar genre rival, Gearbox's Battleborn, making it as a genuinely competitive online shooter with MOBA genes, Overwatch seems set to continue as the premier game of its ilk across 2016.
The Smart Fortwo comes close, but it uses an automated manual gearbox; its driver may not be using a clutch, but its transmission is.
Gearbox said it had prepared a fix that closed the loophole being exploited but it would take time for this to be fed out to consoles.
My big toe never quite rose to the occasion, but I suspect that for an owner, mastery of this gearbox could be a wholly engaging pursuit, and the reward, like the close shave that comes from the deft handling of a straight razor, would be well worth the effort.
The Murano is surprisingly thirsty for a vehicle with a continuously variable transmission, given that one advantage of that type of gearbox is its infinite number of gear ratios, which let the engine run at close to optimal speeds for better fuel economy.
The following year, Fernandes signed a deal with Red Bull Technology to use their gearboxes and hydraulics and, with a Renault engine, an improved chassis saw them close the gap to the midfield.
The gearbox was damaged by a differential failure that affected Webber's pace in the closing stages of the Hungarian race on 31 July.
We spent the next few months redesigning our gearbox to reduce noise while increasing power to deal with sticky or hard-to-close locks.
