Sci-Fi Trailer Is Star Wars vs Halo vs Star Trek vs Mass Effect

Galactic Battles is a short film that laughs at the idea of a mere cameo. It’s also a copyright lawyer’s worst nightmare. Or dream day on the job, depending on who they’re working for. In case that gif—which crams Halo, Star Wars and Star Trek into around two seconds of footage—doesn’t make it clear, Galactic…

The Biggest Halo Cosplay Yet

“I feel like I’m in a spaceship.” Yeah, a spaceship that could kick the ass of many a Spartan. That’s a full-scale Hunter costume up there, built by cosplayer Alexis Smith, who says the whole thing is about 12 feet tall when standing up all the way. You can see that gigantic suit in action…

There’s A Free-To-Play Halo Game Coming… To Russia

Microsoft is partnering with Saber Interactive and Innova Systems to develop a Halo Online for the PC, but right now, it’s a closed beta only available to Russian players. There’s no campaign mode in Halo Online, which uses a “heavily modified” version of the Halo 3 engine so it’ll run on lower-end PCs. Here’s the…

Halo 5‘s Online Mystery Game Suggests Master Chief’s A Traitor

We’ve always thought of Master Chief as the savior of humanity in the Halo series, but the ARG kicking off for Halo 5: Guardians posits something much sinister: he’s a traitor. What’s an ARG? It stands for alternate reality game, and usually means it sends fans chasing from one end of the Internet to the…

I’m Glad These Halo 3 Cutscenes Didn’t Make The Cut

The Halo series has always been a great source of ’30 seconds of fun’ shenanigans and still features incredible AI. To this day it’s my go-to for online multiplayer. But boy-oh-boy did its story get a bit weird. And these deleted cut-scenes, discovered and uploaded by Gamecheat13, are much like the deleted scenes you might…

Five Nights at Freddy’s, Built In Halo

This isn’t your typical Five Nights at Freddy’s clone game. Built entirely in Halo 2, this take on Five Nights at Freddy’s makes the horror game a hell of a lot more combat-oriented. As this video by RecklessRiley shows, the mini-game starts out with a phone call, just like the actual FNAF games do. And…

A Halo Snipe Shot That Is Completely Nuts

Okay, what’s with all the unbelievable Halo snipes lately? Last week, we highlighted an absurd Halo snipe that ricochets off three different surfaces before connecting with the head of its victim. Today, we bring you a snipe by Jimmy Boswell that puts that last one to shame. Somehow, Boswell lands a shot that ricochets off…

Fans Spent Three Years Remaking Halo’s Best Level

Halo’s “The Silent Cartographer” level is widely considered to be legendary—that’s just how good it is. But at least a few fans thought that they could improve on the level, and they’ve devoted the last few years to rebuilding The Silent Cartographer from the ground up. Check out this trailer for a Halo: Combat Evolved…

17 Weeks In, Halo: The Master Chief Collection Is Basically Working

I’d been reading the latest patch for Halo: The Master Chief Collection improved the game’s notoriously bad matchmaking, so I decided to load up the game to see if this was actually true. Halo: The Master Chief Collection has been a broken game for many months. It’s a cardinal sin a series known for multiplayer…

Mod Turns Halo Into Serious Military Sim

I’m sure there are Halo fans out there who are super into the universe but feel like the actual combat of the series is too, I don’t know, comical. This mod for ArmA III will fix that for you and then some. It’s looking to take ArmA — normally a very serious military simulation set…

Ridiculous Halo Snipe Was One-In-A-Million

It is also completely bullshit. Watch as Lawrencce 1 lands a shot that ricochets off three different surfaces before connecting with the enemy player’s head: Lawrence knows just how ridiculous this shot is, judging from his YouTube description: Of course the kill was intentional!! I accurately predicted the spawn of the player after I killed…

Twitch Is Playing Halo, And It’s Excruciating

When Twitch users playedPokemon, it kinda made sense. That’s a game you can break down into simple movements. Halo? That’s a pretty complicated game! Which might explain why this stream is so funny. If you were watching a single human wander around the dead corners of the map, shooting at rocks and aiming at the…

Halo: Master Chief Collection Has Been Broken For 100+ Days Now

It’s been four months since Halo: The Master Chief Collection came out for Xbox One, and unbelievably, the game is still broken. The matchmaking and lobby systems somehow still don’t work properly.

In this video a group of four speedrunners demonstrate techniques that shave a full 22 minutes off of that time. A group effort by a group of Halo speedsters which includesformer Legendary record holder Andrew…

Remember how Microsoft was setting a beta test for a patch that would hopefully resolve many of the problems plaguing Halo: The Master Chief Collection? Well, that beta was pushed back and then cancelled altogether. The “content update” is still coming but will only be tested internally now.
