Halo: Nightfall becomes a feature-length digital release on March 17
Several folks have notified me of this over the past week. Due to the plumbing issues and then Toy Fair this past weekend, I’m only just now getting to post about this. Thanks to all who sent me info/links for this.
The following is a reblog from polygon.com.
Halo: Nightfall, the Xbox live-action series set between the events of Halo 4 and Halo 5: Guardians, will launch digitally on March 17, according to a trailer released by Microsoft ahead of the digital launch.
The Ridley Scott-produced series of episodes is being combined into a single, feature-length release that will be made available to rent or buy from video-on-demand services and on DVD and Blu-ray.
Halo: Nightfall tells the origin story of Jameson Locke, a “a legendary manhunter and agent with the Office of Naval Intelligence.” Locke is also the playable co-star of next year’s Halo 5: Guardians and will be played by actor Mike Colter.

New York Toy Fair Halo Review: Mega Bloks Promethean Phaeton Gunship
I saved what I feel is the best for last regarding Halo Mega Bloks stuff shown at Toy Fair.
When I first asked what the name of the ship was, I was told it wasn’t to be revealed. Fast forward less than a day later and James Monosmith, Marketing Manager for Halo Consumer Products at 343 Industries, confirms through a post on XBOX that the ship is called a Phaeton Gunship. That’s a cool name and I’ll get into it’s possible significance later in the article.
Now, maybe I’m looking into this too far, but this design reminds me of a cross between the Terminator ships and the ship from the Matrix.
I got shots from many angles of the Phaeton Gunship, so by the end of the article, you should have a very clear view of what it looks like all around. Let’s get started!
New York Toy Fair Halo Review: Mega Bloks Vulture
This is a ship fans have definitely been asking for for awhile. It’s one of the few remaining from Halo Wars for which Mega originally had the license for, before they got the complete license for all of Halo.
These two graphics are direct from the official HaloWars.com website. First this in-game version.
Next a concept piece of artwork:
Unfortunately, all but one of my full ship pics were blurry. We were in a hurry as the reps only had a few minutes to show us everything and this was the last set we went to. So this review will be scant on pics showing he full ship model. I do have a few close-ups of the features as well as Agent Locke. Read on!
