Fanmade Halo 5 Map Pays Homage To Metroid Prime

Halo: Reach Doesn’t Run Very Well On Xbox One [UPDATE]

It’s awesome that Microsoft added backwards compatibility for (some) Xbox 360 games to Xbox One, but it’s hardly a perfect situation. One of most demanded games for compatibility, Halo: Reach, comes with a crappy frame rate.

No, that’s not a screenshot from the first Halo. That’s Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.

Also I guess some people played Halo matches there…

The Problem With The Post-Bungie Halo Campaigns

Halo used to mean quality. Its campaigns were all heroic military sci-fi, full of brilliantly-designed levels and enemies. The multiplayer was some of gaming’s best, supplying pulse-pounding firefights and thrilling victories. There was a time when a new Halo game was a guarantee of greatness. Since developer Bungie moved on and custom Halo house 343…
