The Master Chief Collection joins the Cutscene Library
Cody Miller jumped on the heavy-duty job of filming the cutscenes/terminals from The Master Chief Collection pretty early on… but life’s been so busy here that we’re JUST NOW beginning to get some of that content out there. First up – the CGI cutscenes Blur created for Halo 2 Anniversary. These are pretty amazing, and we’re making them available in 360p, 720p, and 1080p, with full surround sound. Go grab ’em!(Louis Wu 21:22:49 UTC)

Wow. Check out this video from PlayerPiano – Sonya Belousova listens to the Halo theme for a few seconds… and then plays her own take on it. Amazing. (She covers a number of other video game themes in the same video.) Go watch! Thanks, Jeff. (Louis Wu 21:21:10 UTC)

Goodbye to 2014 – See You Next Year!
We’re definitely ending this year on a slower note than we started it – not from a Halo news standpoint, but from a Halo news coverage standpoint. And for this, I’m really sorry. Fingers are crossed that time will become easier to find in the new year! In the meantime, enjoy the Halo 5 Beta, going on now, and from the crew here at HBO, best wishes for a fantastic 2015!(Louis Wu 21:49:45 UTC)
