Master Chief Collection Hotfix in place.

Posted on by

This is a reblog from HaloWaypoint.
As we mentioned last week, the team has been working on a hotfix for party joinability, and this fix is now available via a content update to Halo: The Master Chief Collection. Largely, this update will revert to the same party functionality that was available prior to our 4.21 update, and specifically addresses joinability issues that players with large friends lists have been experiencing.

As of this time, this weekend’s ESL online cup #1 remains on schedule, and the HCS staff at 343 and ESL are currently working with teams and players to verify that the joinability issues have been resolved to ensure that things will run smoothly during the tournament.

If you haven’t yet signed up for cup, head here to register, and to see the full season schedule, head here.

Thanks for your patience and best of luck to all competitors.

Toy Review: McFarlane Halo 4 series 3 Spartan Thorne

Posted on by

Well, it’s been some time since I’ve been able to post a McFarlane Halo figure toy review. Not because I didn’t want to, but because it’s been a long time since a new series has been released. Now I can finally get some more of these in with Series 3 making it to retail.

The packaging is quite nice. I like the slim packaging as opposed to the wider ones from series past. For those who collect these carded, it will take up less space for sure, whether you display them or store them.

Pay special attention to the first minute of so as this may pertain to Halo 5… I’ll have a break down on that later today.

In the meantime, watch, listen and learn about all things Halo eSports. Continue reading →
