Adv Jones stopped in with ‘news galore’ as they put it! It’s been a short while, but the Halo Archive shared their latest Archive Beacon for the month of December. They recap some of the wide developments in the universe of Halo, but of particular notice, they have some interviews coming up they are seeking questions for, including one with Forerunner Saga author, Greg Bear!(MacGyver10 16:45:23 UTC)

Last night at The Game Awards, 343 showed off a new trailer for Halo Wars 2 that recounts the story of how Atriox rose to power and the human base at the Ark fell. You can see it over on YouTube, and let us know what you think in Revenant1988’s post in our forum!(MacGyver10 16:37:36 UTC)

Rockslider is back with video proof that banshees HATE either warthogs or marine snipers. Maybe both!? Check out his video in our forum!(MacGyver10 18:55:46 UTC)

Looks like 343 Industries is continuing their drive for access to Halo eSports with a brand new ‘reality TV show’ that is coming to either TV or digital distribution (hasn’t been decided yet). (Thanks Stretchy!)(MacGyver10 18:41:20 UTC)

It’s not every so often that some rare Halo items come up for auction, but tomp10000 let us know he’s needing to part with a couple of cool pieces in the Halo 3 Weta Statue of the flood and Master Chief (a limited edition 127 of 295) and a Lorraine McLees’ Halo 2 Mylar Print of Master Chief (limited and #311 of 500). Might be worth watching these auctions if you’ve missed out on these in the past!(MacGyver10 17:15:08 UTC)

A few weeks ago, we opened the October 2016 Halo Legendary Loot Crate and showed you the goodies. The next one is focused on Halo: Combat Evolved, and we’d offered you a way to grab it for a 10% discount. Well, if you act fast, you can blow that discount out of the water; Loot Crate is offering a 25% Black Friday discount on this crate, good today only! Swing by and check it out – comes with some sweet loot! (Black Friday code is at the top of page, in the orange banner.)

(If it matters to anyone, I’m pretty sure we don’t make any money off this. It’s just a great deal.)(Louis Wu 19:45:54 UTC)

When Bungie created Halo 2, they redefined how we play games online in so many ways that are even today carried on by Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo and even PC! Max Hoberman, the man hehind the revolution, recently asked on Twitter if anyone would be interested in hearing him do a talk on the process, so please go let him know there’s interest!

Considering a talk about bringing Halo 2 online and spearheading XBL & console online gaming in the process. Any interest?
