Bumping for a good reason. My friends at the Halo Archive pointed out a GREAT interview. Covers hints at the MCC and the Halo 5 Beta.

Edited by DarkElmo7000: 6/13/2014 6:37:51 AMWait spartan ops is coming back? What about firefight? Oh wait...

The Gamespot stream didn't really talk about anything new. We did see some new footage from Cairo Station, but it was still during the early phases of the mission, so the architecture style is the same. However, some new and interesting things were said about [b]Halo Nightfall[/b], or at least reemphasized: -It's about Locke, the dude on Halo 5's cover (in case people don't know) -It's an origin story, and a spiritual successor to FuD. -Bigger budget, Halo like things built on set. -Frankie was at the shoot and will return to it next week. Return of Beamish, perhaps???

Halo: The Master Chief Collection is the #1 Game on Amazon.

Woah, buck as a spartan? Where can I find more out on that?

[url=https://twitter.com/bradford_welch/status/476387488718548992]It is 100% confirmed "Arena" means what you think. Halo 5 has classic Halo gameplay.[/url]

I hope 343 aren't using the Halo 4 Elite models for Halo 2 Anniversary.
-
Wait a minute...so it has been confirmed now that Halo 2 has four player online co-op? What about HCEA?
-
lord, i noticed in your mp section you didn't include that you'll be able to play each halo mp separately?

For the Halo 5 Beta trailer, that's not a BR, it's a new weapon. It's got 72 bullets in its magazine.

Edited by NAStheMagiking: 6/9/2014 10:27:13 PMThe collection has more content than anyone could have hoped for; all running at 1080p, at 60fps, on dedis. We also get the beta, and the digital feature. All for the price of a single game. They delivered with this, and then some. Great for MP and SP fans. Lore fans get the extra terminals, and the digital feature, too. Incredible. 343, take a bow.

Edited by Quantum: 6/10/2014 8:19:35 PMOh, on the Xbox Channel trailer for Halo 2 anniversary, there are 3 hidden annotations at points when the MC pulls a lever or pushes a button. They lead to a link where you can download wallpapers for FB, Twitter, PC for this collection.

Posted from another thread now that I got thinking about it. I'd also like to point something out here. Halo has always had "background" parralells. For example, the Ark sheltering all life in the galaxy from Halo's fire, a parralel to a tale in the bible. And there's a lot more examples out there as well. But, I was just musing about the ONI Spartan's name, and couldn't help but nostalgia back to an old show called Lost, with a particular character called Locke. Now, this character in itself had a lot of throwbacks and nods to a real life man called John Locke, a philosopher and physician. And then it hit me. What's MC's first name? John. What's ONI spartans? Locke. Put two and two together. See something yet? And, to go even further, I want you to read this quote from the wiki. "Locke's theory of mind is often cited as the origin of modern [u]conceptions of identity and the self[/u], figuring prominently in the work of later philosophers such as Hume, Rousseau, and Kant. Locke was the first to define the self through a continuity of consciousness. He postulated that, at birth, the mind was a blank slate or tabula rasa. Contrary to Cartesian philosophy based on pre-existing concepts, [u]he maintained that we are born without innate ideas, and that knowledge is instead determined only by experience derived from sense perception.[/u]" Now I want you to think about the opening words from the Arbiter in the trailer. I think we're definiately in for something interesting, at the very least.

Alright, did a decent overhaul of the OP. Enjoy new articles to read, and easier to access info.

Buck is a spartan now? Also, to clarify, Halo 5 will be running on a new engine while TMCC still uses the old one with new graphics, right?
