The Halo 2 Anniversary LAN Championship, hosted by Gfinity in conjunction with TopMid, will see 16 of the greatest Halo teams from Europe do battle at Gfinity’s dedicated esports studio in London on November 29th & 30th. Continue reading
For what appears to be the second week in a row, Waypoint hasn’t released a bulletin online. If it pops up on the Halo Channel, I’ll post what I can of it. Otherwise, another week goes by.
This is disconcerting as when the Halo Channel launched, 343 themselves promised current up-to-date information, this including weekly bulletins. Continue reading

343 has announced they will be holding a community playdate on January 5th. Read below for the details.
Halo Escalation #12 is now available to buy. As always, if you buy print editions, I highly suggest buying form your local comic book store. I prefer to support local businesses myself, that’s why I promote them.
Here’s Darkhorse’s quick blurb about it:
“Exposure” part 2—Disaster looms as Spartans Ray and Thorne race against time to track down a mysterious new weapon of mass destruction. Duffy Boudreau (BlackAcre, Bloodshot) and Douglas Franchin bring you the stunning conclusion of another action-packed chapter of the Halo saga!
Here’s the cover for #12: Continue reading
I can’t recall where I found this one at, so apologies to whomever made it originally (if anyone knows who and can send links to verify that, please do so I can give proper credit).
I thought this looked pretty cool.
Would certainly make for a nice wall poster, don’t you think?

I got this pic from Pinterest which got it from DeviantArt. The original artwork can be found HERE. I removed the color background and sword.
What I want YOU folks to do is color in the art and add an energy sword for the Arbiter. I’ll feature entries on the blog (nothing vulgar folks). From there I’ll pick the one I like the most. Continue reading
For those of you watching Nightfall, you know of the Sedrans. They have their own militia. Below is their logo. I was able to screenshot and clean up the logo in Photoshop.
It’s simple, yet the middle portion is a little mesmerizing.
Feel free to download this.

Okay, so I do not support modding multiplayer as that is cheating in a competitive mode. Not that I support modding at all, but I do have to say that being able to drive the Mammoth was one thing I was really hoping to do. Below shows modded Lord Zedd driving the Mammoth. Watch all the way until the end… Continue reading
Here they are folks, many of the 2015 Mega Bloks sets. I’ve referred to some of them on the blog before. Now I have pics of the sets within their packaging.
Make special not of the Covenant Drone set… Continue reading
Gallery Books held a contest at the launch of the new novel, Halo: Broken Circle.
The contest was to like and comment on their Facebook page: If you could be any character in Halo lore, who would it be and why?
My answer was: Well, by far it would have to be Master Chief. He’s respected, he’s lucky, and he’s not just a spartan, he’s THE Spartan!
That last bit was paraphrasing Spartan Locke when he tells the Arbiter whom he is hunting.
Below is the prize pack that went to two lucky winners. There were close to 1,000 comments. I was one of two people who won! Continue reading
Heh, as if by coincidence after I posted the podcast, Bonnie Ross, 343 Studio head, apologizes for the issues with the HMCC.
The following is a reblog from Halo Waypoint:
By Bonnie Ross:
On Nov 11th we released Halo: The Master Chief Collection. The goal being to create a tribute to Halo fans around the world, and to celebrate the Master Chief’s debut on Xbox One.

Our team is committed to working around the clock until these issues are resolved. Continue reading
In this episode, we talk about all things regarding the Halo Master Chief Collection. The title says it all, the good, bad and ugly. Before you take a listen, I want to point out that I really don’t like having podcasts with a negative tone, this one however does have that tone to a degree that draw from my personal experience with the game as well as my co-host Martin. It also includes anecdotal info from fellow Halo gaming friends of mine and their experience with the game so far. Continue reading

I just finished recording another episode of the Spirit of Fire Podcast. This also marks the FIRST time I’ve video recorded it as well.
I’ll have the podcast up on the blog tomorrow. I’ll have the video up as soon as possible. I’m not sure how long that’s going to take as the cast is one hour and ten minutes long. Continue reading
