Halo Community Update Forging Ahead

Posted on by

This is a reblog from Halo Waypoint: 

This week, you learned more of what’s to come in Halo 5: Guardians, and saw new sneak peeks at Halo: The Fall of Reach. You’ve listened as Maya’s situation rapidly escalated from bad to worse in the latest episode of Hunt the Truth. You’ve joined us in the celebration that Halo 5 has gone gold, which means that everything is just beginning. Not just for you, but for us as well. This week, we’ll take a closer look at Halo: The Fall of Reach – The Animated Series, more new Forge tricks, the upcoming MCC update, and more. Let’s get into the details.

THAT’S OUR BOY

If you aren’t yet familiar with Elysium City Primary Education Facility No. 119, or the origins of subject Number-117, you’re in luck, and you’ve come to the right place. As we announced at E3, Halo: The Fall of Reach – The Animated Series (which tells the origin story of the Master Chief and the SPARTAN-II program) is on the way and will be included with the Digital Deluxe, Limited Edition, and Limited Collector’s Edition of Halo 5: Guardians. The animated epic releases on launch day, and since we’re getting awfully close to that date, I grabbed some time from Executive Producer Kiki Wolfkill to get the latest. Continue reading →

Greetings! You all just keep showing back up every week, don’t you? Welp, if you’re gonna stick around, we might as well take a look at some story-related Halo goodness together! Last week, we took a closer look at some of the alien vehicles you might see employed by Swords of Sanghelios and Covenant forces in Halo 5: Guardians. This week, we thought it would only be fair to give humanity’s eager engineers the same attention.

Before we get started, I’d like to take a moment to celebrate Halo 5: Guardians recently going gold. It’s been a herculian effort by the entire team at the studio, and we’re absolutely thrilled to be so tantilizingly close to being about to share the experience with all of you. And with that out of the way, let’s get to the task at hand! Continue reading →

Halo 5 Guardians has gone GOLD!

H5G Gone Gold

I want to extend a huge Kudos to 343 for having Halo 5 Guardians go GOLD! I’m happy to see that people are giving them another chance.

I don’t think they will be disappointed here. From everything we’ve seen/heard so far, Halo 5 looks to be the best game 343 has produced.

When the original Forge mode was released back in 2007, who could have known the impact it would have on Halo? More than just a map editor, Forge allowed players to collaborate with one another and create brand-new, unique experiences in a multiplayer session. For the first time, friends could test a map live while it was being built. This empowered creativity, allowed for rapid iteration and led to the discovery of all sorts of happy accidents. Best of all, building in Forge could be as fun as playing the game. Halo players embraced this new tool, letting their imaginations run wild. Since then, some of the most fun and creative ideas in Halo have come directly from the community, via Forge. Continue reading →
