The fourth of this series of articles for the achievements of the Halo Master Chief Collection brings us to Halo 3. At the bottom will be links for the other parts to this simple guide.

This is just a guideline of course. You may find other ways to get these achievements. It’s just my way of helping you through this massive list.

HFFL Community Friend ‘Tetrahedrite’ wrote up his own guideline and shared it with me. We talk and agreed to share in this guide. I’ll do my best to make mention of his specific contributions.

Now on with part 4 of the guide: Continue reading →

Hi folks. This article is the second in a series of articles that will go over a section of the achievements for the Halo Master Chief Collection. Since there are 450 of them, I thought it prudent to break them down into smaller chunks. Today we look at the Halo CE Anniversary Achievments.

This is just a guideline of course. You may find other ways to get these achievements. It’s just my way of helping you through this massive list.

Also, I want to make note of another person joining me in on this Guide. Former HFFL Gaming Group Member Tetrahedrite wrote up his own guideline and shared it with me. We talk and agreed to share in this guide. I’ll do my best to make mention of his specific contributions. Continue reading →

Greenskull from RUL post a vid showing some of the cool new objects in Halo 2 Anniversary’s Forge. My personal favorite is the Golden Warthog. I’ve been trying for YEARS to convince Mega Bloks to make this a set. Perhaps NOW with it being in Forge, they’ll do it….

Here are some clipped screenshots from the video (as always, click pics to make bigger): Continue reading →

Hello folks. This article is the first is a series of articles that will go over a section of the achievements for the Halo Master Chief Collection. Since there are 450 of them, I thought it prudent to break them down into smaller chunks. Today we start off with the initial “Overall” Achievments first brought to us. In subsequent days, I’ll have articles for Halo CE: Anniversary, Halo 2 Anniversary, Halo 3 and Halo 4 Achievments. The last in this series will culminate in those recently announced final 50 achievements.

This is just a guideline of course. You may find other ways to get these achievements. It’s just my way of helping you through this massive list.

Before I go further, I should make mention that with 450 achievements and Halo 5 Guardians being roughly one year away, you’ll need to garner 5 achievements every 4 days to get them all. This is POSSIBLE, though will take some commitment to accomplish. Many of these can be had in one day, while others are going to take time to get. Stay focused and you can definitely reach the goal of being an Achievement Master! Continue reading →

In addition to the already MASSIVE list of 400 achievements for the Master Chief Collection, there will be another 50 added post launch to the game. This will bring the total achievements to 450 and the gamerscore to 4,500 (500 of which are from these new 50 cheevos). Continue reading →

Want to see a few of the armors that will be in the Halo 5 Guardians BETA? Sure you do! So take a look below at some pics then a short video.

Mark VI Gen I

DESCRIPTION: Technically obsolete, the Mark VI [GEN1] Mjolnir armor maintains a legendary luster among Spartans and the general public.

HOW TO UNLOCK: Earn the “Your Journey Begins” Achievement in MCC (Unlocks Helmet & Armor)

Mark VI Gen I Scarred

DESCRIPTION: The Mark VI was able to remain functional until all of its triply-redundant auto-repair and bypass nodes failed.

HOW TO UNLOCK: Earn the “Cairo Stations” Achievement in MCC (Unlocks Helmet & Armor)

Nightfall

DESCRIPTION: Spartans with Marine experience prefer NIGHTFALL armor when stationed on inhospitable worlds, due to its best-of-class life support.

HOW TO UNLOCK: Watch the Halo: Nightfall Episode 1 Second Story (Unlocks Helmet)

HOW TO UNLOCK: Watch all 5 episodes of Halo: Nightfall (Unlocks Armor)

Helioskrill

DESCRIPTION: The HELIOSKRILL is a work of art crafted by a Sangheili prodigy inspired to test her skill against the best that humanity could muster.

HOW TO UNLOCK: Earn the “Legend” Achievement in MCC (Unlocks Helmet & Armor)

That Helioskrill though….Wow, that helmet is cool. Definitely Elite inspired. And that’s most likely where the ‘Helio” came from as the Elites are actually Sangheilis.

Now check out a vid from IGN of the same armor. Continue reading →

As the title suggests, there is a way to get the HMCC (technically) free or at a great discount.

This marks the third country to get either an exclusive or bundle for the Halo Master Chief Collection. The first two being the UK and Brazil.

Now Japan gets a bundle offer. Other than the box though, it looks like this is just a regular XBOX One and standard HMCC edition. Continue reading →

I’ll admit, I haven’t watched the whole 4+ hour interview. Maybe about half of it. But you can bet I’ll finish watching and point out some interesting things later.

This is a reblog from Halo Waypoint:

Max Szlagor, Senior Designer here at 343 Industries discusses the new Campaign leaderboard features in Halo: The Master Chief Collection. Get the latest on the new scoring system, rival system, and more. Enjoy!

HFFL: I like this addition. I can think of a few friends I’d like to set as rivals for in the campaign. Seems like something fun to achieve while playing. As for all of those beautiful menus….WOW!
