MCC Content Update focuses on Matchmaking
There’s a new Content Update available for the Master Chief Collection – it focuses specifically on matchmaking. There’s a list of changes available in the notes from 343 on Halo Waypoint – go give it a read! (There’s another update targeted for early next week, as well.)(Louis Wu 15:31:01 UTC)

Lots of Halo 5 Beta Gameplay
If you’re interested in seeing what Halo 5 Multiplayer gameplay looks like, Ready Up Live and Polygon have posted an hour of it. Should give you enough time to form an opinion! Thanks, Revenant1988.(Louis Wu 16:57:08 UTC)

More Escalation Coming
Urban Reflex noticed that the Escalation comic series has quietly been extended – it’s no longer a 12-piece series, it’s at least 16. Interesting!(Louis Wu 16:54:36 UTC)

Okay, my head hurts now.
Gamecheat shows what it would have been like playing as an Elite in Halo 4’s Spartan Ops. (It would have been hard, since none of the guns point the right way.) Thanks, gamerguy2002. (Louis Wu 16:53:37 UTC)

On the other side of the invisible barrier
General Vagueness stopped by with a new project – ‘Breaking out of Halo 4’. He’s got fileshare downloads available of all the Multiplayer maps (from the 360 version, not the MCC version of Halo 4) that you can grab and play around with. (There are a few screenshots to show you what you’re in for – pretty slick!) Go play. (Louis Wu 23:37:56 UTC)

How big is that thing, anyway?
Stephen Loftus was messing around with 3ds Max and decided to put the interior portions of the Forward Unto Dawn (the game spaces we play in at the start of Halo 4) into a model of the ship, to see how big it actually needed to be to fit what we saw in-game. The results are… surprising. Go see!(Louis Wu 23:26:54 UTC)

It’s like clay… but with pixels
SEspider filmed the modeling of a Halo Elite in Sculptris – you can watch the entire process, from Hippo to actual Elite, in 13 minutes.(Louis Wu 23:15:51 UTC)

The Dark Side… and the Light

More ADS for post-turkey fun
We here at HBO hope your Thanksgiving was a good one, if you’re here in the US, and that your Thursday was a good one, if you weren’t; we’re still in holiday mode (lots of family around), so we’re light on news. gamerguy2002 has you covered, though, with word of two more mod videos – one showing aim-down sights on Halo 4 Covenant weapons, the other showing them on Forerunner weapons. Enjoy!(Louis Wu 23:25:22 UTC)

MCC on Toonami
Not sure I understand why… but the crew of Toonami will be playing MCC on the air this Saturday, from 11:30 to 6, on Adult Swim. Weird! Thanks again, gamerguy2002.(Louis Wu 22:17:49 UTC)

Modding is fun
As MCC issues continue, the modders remain a powerful source of new material – there’s a video showing off more Halo 4 UNSC weapons with aim-down sights (the Spartan Laser actually seems MORE useful with this – the first weapon I’ve seen that this is true), a video showing Halo 4 QuickTime Events in 3rd person view (this is just silly), and a Halo 4 Promethean ‘horse’ (there are no words). Go watch! Thanks, gamerguy2002.(Louis Wu 22:16:00 UTC)
