Tim Dadabo On Voicing 343 Guilty Spark In Halo

This article is a reblog from game informer

With the release of Halo: The Master Chief Collection, we’ve all got Master Chief’s Bungie adventures on our minds and on our TVs. I had a chance to chat with Tim Dadabo, who played 343 Guilty Spark in the Halo games, and I asked him about what it was like to work on Halo before it was the franchise we know today. I also asked what sort of insight he could offer on working with Bungie on a floating A.I. robot character, much like Peter Dinklage did recently in Destiny. Continue reading

Two BIG Halo projects I’m working on…

I working on two projects for the blog. One deals with a map in Halo 2 Anniversary from the HMCC. It promises to tower above the rest… It will include video, screenshots, and of course text explanations. I’m about 50% of the way done with this. I hope to have it ready to post on Monday.

The other will be providing 400+ Halo images. I’m around 25% of the way done with that one and hope to have it ready to start on Monday or Tuesday. This project will be a 10-part series. I’ll release 2-parts a day once it’s ready to go.

Now as to what they specifically are….well, I can’t quite let the proverbial cat out of the bag just yet. For one,I don’t want anyone stealing my ideas.

Apologies if this seems like click-bait. I just wanted to let you all know about these two projects in case my posting on the blog is a little less than normal today and tomorrow.

HMCC has a 50 custom map/gametype limit for your saves

Just as the title states, the HMCC has a limit to the amount of custom maps and game types you can save. It’s only 50…FIFTY. Okay, while this may seem like a lot, for those of us who forge a bit, this is VERY limiting. I’ve already got a dozen saved. At this rate, I’ll run out of room some time in December.

I found this out via a link on twitter from my friend AddiCt3d 2CHa0s. The link goes to the Halo Waypoint forum where the original poster, o Nondual o makes this limiting feature known to us.

Below is his post from Halo Waypoint:  Continue reading

As promised, Mega released an image of the set that Fred comes with. It’s an upgraded Booster Frame set. It’s set to be at rattail in 2015. This version appears to be a bit larger than it’s predecessor and more accurate. Check out the pic form Mega below as well as a pic of the previous ‘build-a-set’ Booster Frame. Continue reading

Breakout Gameplay – Halo 5: Guardians Multiplayer Beta

You wanted to see actual Halo 5 Guardians BETA gameplay? Here ya go. This video comes via GameSpot’s Youtube channel.

This vid shows some of the Spartan attributes. As well, you get confirmation that the DMR is in the BETA.

The map itself looks CLEAN. I actually kind of like it. You’re not so distracted by the ‘lived-in’ graphics that all Halo maps have.  Continue reading
