If there's one big missing chunk from Battlefield 1, it would have to be hardcore mode... as normal mode feels like I'm shooting rubber bullets half the time, and then breathing heavily for regenerative health.

But, it looks like hardcore mode is not too far away, with DICE Producer Ali Hassoon teasing over Twitter: "stay tuned! Coming sooner than you think!". Hassoon also talked a little about BF1 hardcore mode, adding: "health is at 100%, bullet damage is set to 200%. These choices, however, aren't set in stone, as they might be changed if needed".

Hassoon also talked about the compass possibly coming back, saying: "we've discussed this feature and are looking to implement in a future patch. No dates im afraid".

Astronomers using observations from NASA's Kepler and Swift missions have discovered a batch of rapidly spinning stars that produce X-rays at more than a hundred times the peak levels ever seen from the Sun. The stars spin so fast they've been squashed into pumpkin-like shapes. Scientists believe they are the result of close binary systems where two Sun-like stars merge.

Steve Howell, a senior research scientist at NASA's Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, California, and leader of the team explained the discovery.

It's the scariest month of the year, and Facebook knows it. The internet giant has announced they are launching a set of limited edition Halloween reactions that turn the regular reactions into Halloween-themed symbols.

The Halloween edition of Facebook reactions will turn the Like reaction into a skeletal thumbs up, Love reaction will become a candy, Laugh will turn into a laughing witch, Wow reaction will be a ghost, Frankenstein will replace the Sad reaction, and Angry reaction will become a scowling pumpkin.
