With help from our friends at Xbox, ASTRO Gaming, Skullcandy Gaming, and ESL, we set up several 4v4 stations all around the expo with multiplayer gameplay on the recently announced re-mastered version of Lockout, set the game timer, and let you play to your heart\u2019s content (or until you hit the score limit) (or the time limit).<!--more--><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/halo-pax-prime-booth-776e5fd147cc44bb9d6f8158dd9a2e6c.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-17311\" src=\"https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/halo-pax-prime-booth-776e5fd147cc44bb9d6f8158dd9a2e6c-600x400.jpg\" alt=\"halo-pax-prime-booth-776e5fd147cc44bb9d6f8158dd9a2e6c\" width=\"584\" height=\"389\" srcset=\"https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/halo-pax-prime-booth-776e5fd147cc44bb9d6f8158dd9a2e6c-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/halo-pax-prime-booth-776e5fd147cc44bb9d6f8158dd9a2e6c-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/halo-pax-prime-booth-776e5fd147cc44bb9d6f8158dd9a2e6c-449x300.jpg 449w, https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/halo-pax-prime-booth-776e5fd147cc44bb9d6f8158dd9a2e6c.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 584px) 100vw, 584px\" \/><\/a>Halo: The Master Chief Collection at PAX Prime 2014.
