No plans for a Reach Remake
Phil Spencer was a guest on IGN’s Podcast Unlocked during E3, and one of the things he said was that it’s unlikely that a remastered version of Halo: Reach will be made before Xbox One backward compatibility makes it available.“It doesn’t keep us from doing a remaster or something, but clearly letting people play Halo: Reach and any of the first-party 360 games that they want to play is part of what backward compatibility is about. We don’t have a plan right now for a remake of Halo: Reach. I suspect it’ll be a backward compatibility game before we ever even think about doing a remake.”
Worth knowing, if you were hoping for its future addition to the Master Chief Collection…(Louis Wu 22:30:44 UTC)

A Reminder: All content available to all players
Scooting back over some news in the past week we’ve overlooked – we’ve mentioned this elsewhere, but it bears repeating: according to Josh Holmes, all unlockable content in the game can be earned by anyone, by playing. Preorder bonuses just mean you’re GUARANTEED that content, without having to unlock it – but the rest of us aren’t shut out. Thanks, Destructoid.(Louis Wu 22:26:10 UTC)

There’s a lot of other campaign and multiplayer related info that will hopefully be expanded upon at E3 including the new Artemus Tracking System equipped by Osiris.

Digging a hole and leaking information
MacGyver10 asked about some concept art that was shown in an Xbox Daily: LIVE video recorded at E3 last week… and while his question is a good one, you should take a look at the video he referenced just for general new Halo information! Frank O’Connor and Kiki Wolfkill join Major Nelson and Tiffany Smith about 8:30 in, and for the next five and a half minutes, they talk about Halo 5, with tangents into things like the Fall of Reach Animated Series (which is what MacGyver10 was asking about). If you missed this – go watch! (Louis Wu 18:28:40 UTC)

Halo Pre-Order Content for Everyone!
Unoudid on our DBO sister site pointed out an article on Destructoid that discusses Halo 5: Guardians pre-order bonuses. According to Josh Holmes twitter account, ‘ALL unlockable content can be earned by everyone. Preorder just guarantees you have it out of box. No need to earn/unlock in game.’ How’s that for awesome!?!?(MacGyver10 21:47:51 UTC)

RvB S13E10-11
E3 got in the way of our following of Red vs Blue’s Season 13… but let’s catch up now. Last week’s episode, Temple of the Key, showed what Caboose can do with the right instructions. This week’s episode, Dish Best Served, focuses on an epic fight between Carolina and… an old enemy. Will Church be able to help? Fantastic moviemaking here – and remember, there are still a whole bunch of episodes left!(Louis Wu 16:58:50 UTC)

Idle Talk is the Didact’s Workshop
Grizzlei on our forum pointed out a Gametrailers interview with Tim Longo from E3 that shows a bunch of the footage we’ve already seen over their conversation.

Apparently Blue Team and Fireteam Osiris will have dynamic conversations when you as the player are idle for a certain amount of time. Check at 6:30 for that specific part of the interview!(MacGyver10 15:29:44 UTC)
