How goes, my legion of lore? Thanks as always for joining us for our weekly fiction feature! Last issue, we took a closer look at some of the details that went into creating Cortana’s enhanced aesthetics, as well as teasing a cool new cross-over between the Halo and Killer Instinctfranchises. I know a lot of you are excited to hear more a certain killer kaidon, and trust me, we can’t wait to share! Continue reading
This is a reblog from Halo Waypoint (With what I think is some EXCITING NEWS!):
BYÂ B IS FOR BRAVO
Happy weekend, friends. It is my hope that this update finds you well. Today, we’ve got a short blog celebrating all things love, and also a preview of the update dropping later this month. We’ll start this week with the ultimate Double Date, and the only plans you need for this Valentine’s Day weekend.
VALENTINE’S DOUBLE DATE
To celebrate the occasion, our multiplayer team took some time to create a special Valentine’s Day weekend social playlist, and having played myself in the lab, I can say that it does hit a certain soft spot. Something about the pink hues combined with a Halo 2 BR in my hands just does it for me. To ensure that you’re ready to take your relationship to the next level, here are the playlist details: Continue reading
Okay, this is FLIPPIN’ fantastic! *(pun intended, LOL)
I am definitely adding this to customs night!
Hot off the press (so to speak)!!!
Oh and before you get started reading…you might want to have a seat before you faint from GREATNESS!
Since Halo: Combat Evolved launched in 2001, Halo has grown from a video game to a more than $5 billion franchise that encompasses New York Times best-selling novels, multiple live-action digital series and consumer products. The latter – including a dizzying array of toys – have generated more than $1.5 billion and include action figures, weapon replicas, clothing and much, much more. Continue reading
Okay, this isn’t 100% accurate, but it’s still pretty dog-gone good!
This just goes to show you what CAN be done in Halo 5’s Forge. And this is actually pretty basic with regards to design.
The shaking effect was created by using the earthquake filter. That really helps to sell the video!
This was made by xXBarthXx. If you’d like to download this for yourself, go here!
I always enjoy these little tidbits of Halo Myths confirmed or Busted!
I’d like to thank halobungie.org for tweeting this out.

Very soon we will be seeing these figures at retail. McFarlane was nice enough to show off these detailed pics of the upcoming figs.
Square Enix has been making Halo figures for a few years now. And they are fantastic! This year, coming to market are the two main heroes from Halo 5. Master Chief and Spartan Locke.Â
Let’s take a look at each figure, starting with Master Chief: Continue reading

I saw a link to this via Twitter and had to share this here.
Okay, so it may have been taken form a different game, but still looks like fun to play. Not Halo enough, huh? Well, if the outside were changed to look like the spacecraft from Reach that was shot down, that would fit in perfectly. I believe this can be done with this map. Anyone up to the challenge??

Greetings! The Halo community team is back on the road, currently spread throughout Germany, Australia, and those who might still be stuck in the snowy mountains of Aspen, Colorado. This specific blog is coming to you from Cologne, Germany, and has been beamed up to the satellites for worldwide perusal. If you’re reading this, the transmission has been successful.
We’ve got a quick update today, but one that covers a variety of topics which may interest you as we dig into recent updates as well as items in the works.
First things first, Infinity’s Armory launched last week just before the X Games festivities kicked off. We hope you’re enjoying Infinity’s Armory so far and are looking forward to what’s on the way.
Before we move on, a quick word about last weekend’s X Games adventures. Traveling down to Aspen to watch some of the best players in the world compete for X Games medals was truly one of the highlights of my career, and one of the most enjoyable moments for me as a Halo fan. There was a certain energy in the air that was quite unique to this competition. Perhaps it was the altitude, but more likely it was a sense of something new to fight for, on an all-new game, in front of an audience comprised of new interested parties in addition to captive veteran viewers. This was Halo 5’s first major live event in North America, and it’s my hope, whether you tuned in all weekend long on twitch or caught the recaps each day on ESPN, that you enjoyed what you saw, too. We can’t thank you enough for supporting the game we all love, and hope you’ll join us for more in the coming weeks and months. Lastly, congrats to EG and CLG, who put on some of the best finals we’ve seen in quite some time.

ISSUE 61
Mega Bloks Last Man Standing II
Technical Specifications:
Build Time:Â NONE
Set Piece Count:Â 85
Minifigs: Spartan JFO; “Infected” UNSC Spartans: HAZOP, Scout, EVA, Operator
Weapons: Shotgun, Green Energy Sword X4 (first generation style)
Accessories:Â Figure stand X4
Special Features:Â Infected Spartans Glow in the Dark!
Cost:Â $20 (I got mine through a trade) So far these have only been found in Canada.
This is a special set folks. It was to have come out in 2014. It was to be a Target exclusive. Â For whatever reason, it had been pushed off the release list. Speculation is that due to Target’s going out of business in Canada, Mega Bloks had to stop any manufacturing/shipping of the set until they could find a new buyer for the exclusive.
This set is part of the now discontinued “Containment” series, which also featured the sets, Containment Armory and Containment Outpost Patrol.
I was really looking forward to this set back in 2014. The big reason why was for the JFO Spartan. At the time, it would have been the first JFO to have been released. Instead the Blue JFO from the Drone Outbreak set was released first. It should be noted that as of this writing on Mega Bloks Halo sets page that the Last Man Standing II set is still shown as being a 2014 set, even though it wasn’t officially released until 3rd quarter 2015. Never the less, I am EXTREMELY happy to have the set.
I never thought we would finally get this set in stores. As mentioned in the tech specs above, I got this through a trade. Since it’s only so far been found in Canada, it would be just a bit too expensive for me to travel there for one Mega Bloks set, LOL.
And on with the pics! (Click pics to make BIGGER) Continue reading
