The days have been flying by for me, but I've been keeping busy. Just a little over a month to go.

I've got plenty to keep me busy over the next month. The rest of the wait shouldn't be that bad. That last 7 days are going to be so brutal

ETA: Hopefully, I'll be here a little later to post the news today as it comes out. I will if I can, but if not I'll do it asap.

Continuing with their month-long coverage of Halo: The Master Chief Collection, IGN has posted a walkthrough video of the Halo Channel – the new destination on Xbox One for all Halo fans alike for news, videos and more.

The Halo Channel was announced at Gamescom 2014 during 343 Industries’ panel. Available in November alongside Halo: The Master Chief Collection, players will be able to download the application on the Xbox One and Windows Phone devices to check out the latest news, view exclusive content like Halo: Nightfall and Halo 4: Forward unto Dawn and much more.

Players will also be able to unlock exclusive content in Halo: The Master Chief Collection and Halo 5: Guardians through the Halo Channel. For example, completing certain challenges will unlock the Swarm Skull which gives Hunters triple health and allows them to do double damage.

The Halo Channel will also introduce a new way to view Halo streams. When spectating a player on Twitch, you will get a special view of the game which offers interesting stats such as K/D and up to date scores and you can also see the kill feed easier.

NEW HALO 2 ANNIVERSARY WARLOCK PICTURES & FOOTAGE


quote:

Brand new pictures of Warlock (aka Warlord) from Halo 2 Anniversary have surfaced today.  You can see some really nice shots of the re-mastered Warlock environment as well as some awesome pictures of the oddball! The new footage of Warlock gives us some good insight on how powerful the sentinel beam will actually be in Halo 2 Anniversary.

It was mentioned yesterday in IGN’s Halo 2 report that they actually increased the damage on the sentinel beam and placed it in the bottom middle of the map on Warlock.



H2A: NEW Warlock gameplay









**Halo 2 Anniversary is a beautiful game, folks.**

WARLOCK DOESN’T HAVE AN INTERACTIVE ELEMENT

quote:

With Halo 2 Anniversary, six iconic multiplayer maps from Halo 2 are being remade in a modified Halo 4 engine designed for Xbox One. With most of these maps, we have seen new interactive elements being added such as the falling stalactites on Lockdown, the waterfall of Shrine and the triangular shield onZenith.

On our forums, 343 Industries’ Community Manager – Andy ‘Bravo’ Dudnsky confirmed that Warlock, now known as Warlord, will not feature an interactive element.

No interactive element on Warlord. A few things were experimented with, but nothing stuck, and in the end it was confirmed that a good ol’ fashion match of 4v4 Warlock CTF cures any ailment.

This is great news for those who haven’t been huge fans of the interactive map elements that Certain Affinity has been introducing.

33 DAYS


quote:

In thinking about multiplayer medal design for Halo: The Master Chief Collection, we wanted to be mindful of how players new and old want to track their accomplishments, and this is one of the reasons we allow medal display for Halo: CE and Halo 2 Classic to be toggled on and off in-game. When medal display is toggled off, medals are still tracked for the Post Game Carnage Report and Medal Chest, so you’ll be able to maintain a record of your accomplishments, even if you prefer the classic look when playing multiplayer.


quote:

All original medals from Halo 3 and Halo 4 are included, and legendary medals have been added to each. Halo 2: Anniversary multiplayer will also include new medals for game modes such as Race, Infection, Assault, and Ricochet.

TMCC Playlist

quote:

Today, 343 Industries and IGN announced the playlists which will be available in Matchmaking for Halo: The Master Chief Collection on November 11th. This has been a huge talking point throughout the community due to how previous Halo games have handled the day one playlists.


quote:

Team Halo 2 Anniversary – 4v4

Play a mix of Team Slayer and objective game types on re-mastered maps.

Halo 2 Anniversary Rumble – 8 Player FFA

Challenge seven other opponents on re-mastered maps. This is your fight and yours alone.

Halo 2 Anniversary Social – 5v5

Play with a team in unranked Team Slayer and objective game types on re-mastered maps.

Team Slayer – 4v4

Eliminate the enemy team across four Halo games: Halo: Combat Evolved, Halo 2, Halo 3, and Halo 2: Anniversary. Nothing but Team Slayer, 24/7.

Big Team Battle – 8v8

Battle it out in 16-player warfare with vehicles across Halo: Combat Evolved, Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo 4, and Halo 2: Anniversary.

Halo: Combat Evolved – 4v4

The game that started it all. Play a mix of Slayer and objective game types in Halo: Combat Evolved for the first time on Xbox Live.

Halo 2 Classic – 4v4

It’s back. A mix of the most popular Team Slayer and objective game types from the original Halo 2.

Halo 3 – 4v4

Halo 4 – 5v5

A mix of Team Slayer and objective game types from Halo 4, on a selection of small to medium-sized maps.

Halo eSports – 4v4

The official Halo eSports playlist.

ROTATIONAL: SWAT – 4v4

Aim for the head! A collection of SWAT game types on our favorite maps from Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo 4, and Halo 2: Anniversary. Players have no shields and are equipped with rifles. 4v4.



quote:

For those who are worried that fan favorites like Grifball, Team Snipers and Team Doubles aren’t there – they are now rotational playlists. Every week or so, the rotational playlists will change and offer a new variety of gameplay.


quote:

“As far as 4v4 / 2v2 goes, the current plan is to launch at 4v4. Although there are many who believe that 2’s is the way to play CE (I’m one of them), we’re planning on launching the playlist at 4v4 for a variety of reasons, one of the biggest of which is that 4v4 has historically been much more popular than a 2v2 list across all Halo titles, and also launching without a 4v4 CE playlist for the game’s Xbox Live debut would be a miss.

That isn’t to say that the team size in this playlist couldn’t change, nor that we aren’t planning on featuring (and test running) a CE 2v2 playlist, nor that a 2v2 CE playlist couldn’t become a mainstay (or even the mainstay), but 4v4 with classic universal settings is the current launch plan.

I’m confident that it’s the right decision for launch, and I hope the above makes it clear that we’re aware of the current and constant state of universal Halo: CE settings and preferred team size amongst the core crew, and something we’re mindful of.”

They've basically said doubles is coming. In my opinion there are too many playlist dedicated to H2A. It only has 6 maps but there are 3 playlist just for that one game as well as the 3 other playlist its included is. There is no reason CE should only get one playlist. There better be a good bit of BR starts for all games not named Halo CE and CE better have Pistol starts.
