This is a reblog from Waypoint:Halo Championship Series LOGO

In anticipation of the release of Halo: The Master Chief Collection next week, 343 Industries is excited to announce the “Halo Championship Series”, the official eSports league that will celebrate the franchise’s rich competitive gaming legacy while building an all-new platform for the future of Halo eSports.

Why HALO is my destiny, the follow-up…

Posted on by

Back in June I wrote an article saying why Halo was my destiny and not ‘Destiny’ the game.

In that article I shared my thoughts on another blog, being part of another gaming community, and was that game worth the effort.

I write this article not in any angry mindset but rather from a calm standpoint looking at some of the facts of and my 7 week experience with Destiny versus more than a decade of Halo fandom.

When I got my XBOX One back in September, I got it with a deal from Gamestop that if I buy a console, I get a new game free. Destiny was out the same week as the deal, so I went ahead and got Destiny. I gave this game a fair shake, having played it from release date up until this past Saturday (11/1/14). What I found was a mixed bag of things.

The rest of the article is going to be a relative comparison between aspects of Halo and Destiny. You’re free to disagree of course. I’m just relating my personal experience with each game. Continue reading →

I have to admit, some of these seem a bit ridiculous. And I can’t imagine have a LASO run with all of these active. That would be beyond cray cray… Continue reading →
