HFFL: Following the link takes you to “Halo: Starscope”. I’ve been there before, but thought it was fan-made. So hmm, now I need to take a better look at this.
If any of you happen upon the key to this puzzle, please do share. I’m sure fellow Halo fans would like to know what this means.

Yesterday saw the beginning of Week Two for the Halo 5 Guardians Beta. Yeah, I know, you’re also saying, “Wait, week two already?” For whatever reason, 343 decided to start the week two game types and new maps early. I’m curious if it was pressure from fans who were complaining about AR starts?
In any event, we now have BR starts with Magnum secondary weapons. Slayer is now on Regret and Eden. Both are remixes of last week’s maps, Truth and Empire. Continue reading

So of you many know that a Halo movie has been talk about for many years, yet has not come to fruition. Neil Blomkamp, the director of District 9, was one of the directors tapped for a Halo movie. While that has fallen short, it seems he still has interest in Halo.
Earlier today I came across an article on Blomkamp showing pics from his instagram page of a secret “Aliens” project. It’s not an official thing, rather something he was toying around with. Continue reading

In the mean time, here is some info you may have missed out on. Continue reading
Today saw an update that included among other things, the addition of Spartan Ops into the Halo Master Chief Collection.
Folks, if you haven’t played this in a long time or have never played , give it a go. It’s 50 total missions. A whole other campaign unto itself.
But what makes this better is the resolution. My does it look SO much better on the One! Continue reading
At the 26 second mark of the vid below, the player sticky nade’s the sniper and it blasts back to him. He picks it up and gets a “Combat Evolved” medal. Then again at the 52 second mark, he does the same with the Prophet’s Bane (Energy Sword) on Truth.
Pretty cool!!

Normally I do not promote anything LEGO here as they are not a licensee of Halo. However, when it comes to FAN projects, I make a rare exception. This is one of those times.
Lee Jones, made a custom build of the Pillar of Autumn. It took him 3 1/2 years and cost $7,000 to build. The ship weighs 200lbs!
Here are yet MORE pics of this fantastic fan model:
I was fortunate enough to get a code for the early access to the Halo 5 Guardians Beta.
Below is a graphic that was contained within the e-mail that I got for early access.I had to enter TWO codes for this. The first was to download the beta, the next granted me early access.Â
It took about 45 minutes to download the beta. The access was just seconds.Not sure how big the download itself was.
For these two days, we only have Truth (Midship remake and Empire (the city map) to play on. And that’s plenty enough for two days!
I’ll go through some screen shots here, explaining them as needed and talk about my reaction/opinion of the beta so far. Continue reading
