Polygon got this clip of Grifball play in Halo 5. Eight minutes of Grifball goodness!! Check it out!
I can’t wait to play this! It’s one of my favorite casual playlists. (Yes, I know some people take it very seriously…)
This looks bad ass!

How goes, Halo fans? This week has been a busy one at the studio as we tackled Toy Fair 2016, and are preparing for the impending arrival of Halo 5: Guardians’ next content update, Hammer Storm. Speaking of which, after reading Bravo’s excellent preview last week, more than a few of you inquired about when we might talk a bit about the lore behind some of Hammer Storm’s upcoming aspects like maps and armor. Fortunately, that particular question has a relatively easy answer: Today. So while last week we chatted about some fun fiction that certainly sits on the outskirts of canonical relevance, this week we’ll be moving the needle back much closer to the storytelling sweet spot. Let’s dive in! Continue reading

Greetings, friends. Another week has passed since the last formal community blog, which means the weekend is here again, and this is cause for celebration. Also worth celebrating is the impending arrival of the Hammer Storm update. Let’s talk about that and more!
As we mentioned last week, based on feedback from across the internet as well as the Halo Community Feedback Program, the multiplayer team has kicked off a permanent social playlist that will feature a variety of offerings. Single game modes (Social CTF, which just went live, for example), variety playlists, new game types, community playlists, and more will all live in this new location. We’ve also been keeping an eye on your feedback on matching/skill matchmaking within social playlists. We hope you enjoy, and we’ll see you online. Hopefully, I don’t end up getting assassinated on the front page of r/Halo again.
HFFL: This is definitely a step in the right direction!
The Hammer Storm update draws near, and we are so darn excited that we’re moving our livestream up to an earlier date. We simply cannot wait until Friday to do this stream. Here are the details:
Hammer Storm Live Stream
Tuesday, Feb 23 at 3:00 p.m. PST
Twitch.tv/Halo & The Halo Channel
HFFL: Hmm, I had heard the update was coming early next week. With the live stream being moved up, I hope it’s safe to say that we will be getting the actual update on Tuesday as well. This is NOT confirmed though.
We’ll see you on the stream, which we’re packing with lots of sweet new stuff like new game types, an Arena map debut, fresh new REQs, and more. Speaking of, though we’re saving some of the stuff for the stream itself, we thought we’d show off some early looks at the upcoming Arena map as well as a few new REQs that are on the way.

This is a new line from Mega Bloks called Kubros. It covers all of their major lines and a few more. I of course will get the Master Chief and review it here.
Thanks to this vid from FamilyGamerTV we get an early look at Halo Mega Bloks toys showing at New York Toy Fair this weekend.

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.
