And because some suit said, 'Hey, everything's gotta run on both platforms', you end up with something people don't want. Specifically on if we could expect to see the long awaited return of Halo to PC with Halo 5, he said: In terms of Halo FPS on PC, I think there's a ton of opportunity for us[...]

And there's a picture, and everything. 343 Industries and Dark Horse Comics are set to release a brand-new Halo graphic novel anthology later this year. Halo: Tales from Slipspace will feature all-new stories from more than those listed on the Amazon listing – including Jonathan Wayshak, Eric Nguyen, Alex Irvine, Kody Chamberlain, Dave Crosland, John Jackson Miller, Jonathan Goff,[...]

Halo: Tales From Slipspace will featuring all-new stories from Halo development director Frank O'Connor and Halo producer Tyler Jeffers, as well more familiar comic book names such as John Jackson Miller, Simon Roy, Kody Chamberlain, Bill Sienkiewicz, Jonathan Wayshak, Alex Irvine,[...]

Recently, it was teased that a guest character was coming, and there wasn't too much room for interpretation. But, just as clean up, The Arbiter from the Halo series has now been confirmed for the game as a guest character You can see him in action in this video, using all kinds of Halo tricks to[...]

So, I'm a big Halo guy I love the gameplay, the story and the lore That's why I'm always fascinated at little tidbita I can find about the franchise's backstory Or, perhaps, on occasion, what could have been the franchise's backstory. That's why this bit news is pretty cool, and it somewhat ties together two of[...]

The Arbiter had somewhat of role to play in Halo 5, but his actual consequence on the plot of 343's reign on the franchise since taking over has been minimal The character, after initially not being universally liked thanks to the switcheroo of protagonist in Halo 2, is now a fan favorite though, meaning players[...]

Halo 5 is getting a massive update next week titled the Cartographer's Gift Building the multiplayer experience, this will add a ton of new content to the game and the best part is that it's free to everyone. The most noteworthy addition is that of Forge which was absent for the initial release of the game[...]

It shows Halo 5 first being played on a normal TV screen, followed by it being played on a virtual screen in the same space It's pretty neat Take a look: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enaCPYuYXpsVideo can't be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: Streaming Halo from my Xbox One to my HoloLens (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enaCPYuYXps) Keep in mind though, I've heard lots of[...]

By Joe Cammisa [audio: http://joecam.net/SML/SML-e139.mp3] It's time for The SML Podcast here on Bleeding Cool! Kris is back for the week as we go forth without an actual interview for The SML Podcast – Episode 138: Nintendo Direct Fallout! That's right, no interview, so it's diving RIGHT into game news including all the big news from the Nintendo Direct[...]

I was a little worried that Halo was dropping off in the public innocuousness as Halo 5, in my experience, had received a more muted release compared to previous years (Although, I suspect this was a different experience in the US than it was in the UK.) It seems those fears were unfounded though as the[...]

I also didn't want to get into discussing my opinion on the game's story until my full review, but the more I think about it, the more I know I'm not going to be able to talk about everything I want to in a reasonable amount of words that also evaluate the rest of the[...]

There are also some added discussion to this regarding Halo 5, but the statue of limitations is certainly not up on that yet. Cortana is a very interesting case study when it comes to character design Her evolution throughout the series has certainly become more sexualised If you search hard enough on the internet, you[...]

Halo has been absent on PC ever since the first game None of the subsequent sequels have turned up on the platform which has obviously miffed the PC community that fell in love with the original game. There has been renewed hope though Microsoft seems to be unifying the PC and Xbox One platforms more and[...]

You'd hope so too with a 2.5 Billion purchase of Mojang. With the upcoming Halo 5 though, the corporation has taken the chance to throw a little Halo into the Xbox 360 and Xbox One versions of Minecraft The new pack will have add skins to both Blue Team and Fireteam Osiris It will also add[...]

The music of Halo is some of the best of any game franchise I'm always interested to take a listen to the OST that accompanies a new release. This time up to the plate is Kazuma Jinnouchi who did some of the best music on Halo 4's soundtrack The entire soundtrack has now been released on Soundcloud for[...]

Halo 5 is just around the corner, and I'm sure there is at least a few of you who are looking to get into it, but you haven't yet played the other games You could pick up the Master Chief Collection, but that will take ages to get through. Instead, you could just watch this catch[...]

Nathan Fillion is going to be returning to the Haloverse very soon, when Halo 5 launches Reprising his role of Buck, Fillion looks like he is going to have a pretty significant presence in the game, especially where the story is concerned. Appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Fillion talked about getting scanned into the game, and[...]

It really isn't long until Halo 5 is with us That is pretty exciting to think about In just 15 days, we'll be able to experience the next chapter in the story for Master Chief and the first for Agent Locke. To get you excited, this new new launch trailer goes deep into the story And[...]

The size of modern games is massive, and 500GB just isn't enough in a lot of cases. This is especially apparent in Halo 5's case, which has a massive file size An early retail copy has snuck out the gate (via VG247), and on the back it suggests that you have "up to 60gb" of space to[...]

Warzone is the new multiplayer mode in Halo 5: Guardians that 343 are really trying to push It's a huge 12 v 12 game mode that has Spartans squaring off against each other while NPC enemies get in on the action too It looks neat and is taking a few ideas from MOBAs and applying[...]

Halo: The Fall of Reach is one of the most praised game novels, if not just in the Halo universe, but ever It's one of the first things I hear recommended when I see people asking for suggestions. I suppose that is why it's not surprising that the book is seeing an animation made for it[...]

Halo 5 is just around the corner now What will likely be the Xbox One's biggest exclusive this year, is just over two weeks away now after taking three years off since the last one. The game has gone gold now too, meaning it is off to be put on discs around the world This news[...]

Forge was a huge revelation when it was introduced in Halo 3  The mode became of favorite of not just level creators, but also those who just wanted to mess around with the physics of the game. The mode will be returning in Halo 5 too This new video shows the work that has been done,[...]

The Sprint has been a very interesting little series surrounding the creation of Halo 5: Guardians. It actually digs quite candidly into the high pressure situations it takes to get the game made. This new video, which marks the start of Season 3, is a real treat though It follows composer Kazuma Jinnouchi as he hops around[...]

The Covenant mainstay vehicles in Halo have been largely untouched for several games They get slight tweaks here and there, but a Banshee is a Banshee is a Banshee. A lot of them have seen somewhat of an overhaul in Halo 5 though In a new post at Halo Waypoint, 343 show off the new designs[...]

The Halo 5 marketing campaign is really ramping up now, and rather cleverly it is leaving us with more questions than answers Last week, we saw an advert that suggested that Chief had died. This week, we have got a launch trailer that shows of he hasn't really, but that he is turning on the people[...]

Halo 5 has had a very interesting set of marketing campaigns of late It's throwing a lot of ideas out there, with teasers claiming Master Chief to be traitor, the dual trailers that swapped him and Agent Locke and, of course, HUNT the TRUTH. This new TV spot adds to that certainly It claims that Master[...]

343 seems to know what they want to do with the Halo franchise I really can't wait to see what they do with the series going forward too, as it is quite well documented that I adore their work on Halo 4. Halo 5: Guardians is on the horizon too, and it seems there are serious[...]

In Halo 5, we are going to be taking over two fireteams through out the campaign's story We've  already met Agent Locke's team, but now it is time to see Master Chief and his Spartans in action. This new video introduces you to Blue Team It seems Chief is on some kind of romp after the[...]

Not only did we get to talk with showrunner Noah Eichen just last week, but I've been championing it as one of the very best Halo stories ever told If you haven't listened to the audio drama yet, you really should. And do it quick, because Season 2 is starting today In a preview with TIME, it[...]
