Video of the Avalanche remake in Halo Online (the PC game)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffDxQtAHRG4&feature=youtu.be
I found this through my friends at Podcast Evolved.
I wish the guy who made the vid would have gone into the bases as well as the side teleport rooms. He missed some very important parts of the map.
Seeing that the bases are UNSC really has me interested.
I did put a comment on his vid asking him to show us that too. If he does, I’ll repost it here.

Halo Toy Review: Bandai Sprukits Master Chief
Sprukits have been out for a little while. I just haven’t had the extra funds to get them. In fact I still don’t. However, when I went to New York Toy Fair, I talked with all of the manufacturers that had a license to make Halo toys and collectibles. BanDai is one of those. I won’t mention who I talked to so as to keep them from getting unwanted solicitations for these sets. Anyway… After New York Toy Fair, I was contacted by the person at BanDai. We exchanged pleasantries and reminisced about Toy Fair a little. They they did something incredibly generous. They ask for my address and said they wanted to send me some sets. I graciously accepted their offer.
There are four sets at retail currently. At level 2 there are Master Chief, Spartan Thorne, and Commander Palmer. There is a level 3 Master Chief as well. When the person said they would send sets, I thought, well, maybe I’ll get two of them since it was plural. It wouldn’t have mattered which I would have received. I would have been thankful for any. However, when I got the box from BanDai, it included one each of all four sets! As well, they included a Sprukits T-shirt! I was a bit gobsmacked by their generosity.
This review is the first of the four that I’ll be putting out over the next week and a half. In particular, this is the level 2 Master Chief. It’s the smaller of the two Master Chief Sprukit models.
Okay, without further ado, let’s get to the review. Continue reading
