New Halo Multiplayer Experience Coming To PC
According to Gamestop, Microsoft confirmed that the Halo multiplayer experience is heading to the PC as a free-to-play game and it is called Halo Online. Developed by Saber Interactive, the game runs on a ‘highly modified’ Halo 3 engine. The beta will only be available in Russia, but that doesn’t necessarily rule out a release for NA or EU territories. Regardless, I’m sure some of you will find a way to play it. Microsoft also stated that they have no plans to bring Halo Online to the Xbox One. This is a pretty interesting move for Microsoft.(mastrbiggy 22:30:14 UTC)

Podtacular 466: Halo 5 Beta Breakdown: Forge Mode
Our last Halo 5: Guardians Multiplayer Beta breakdown show focuses on the Forge maps we got to play in the final days of the beta, Pegasus and Orion. In talking about the map design and flow for slayer, we talk about the new capabilities we’ve already seen and would like to see come to the final version of Halo 5: Guardians.
