117 + 1 Minutes of Halo: The Master Chief Collection
Yesterday IGN live-streamed almost 2 hours of the Master Chief Collection. There’s plenty of multiplayer and campaign footage from each game as well as a look at a new H2A Blur cinematic. Everything is looking really good!(mastrbiggy 08:35:39 UTC)

Halo 4: Playable Cinematics
Funky! Gamecheat13 has managed to mod his way into the Halo 4 cutscenes as a playable character! (The Chief is still present… he’s just moving around him.) Weird and creepy! It’s unclear whether he can actually affect existing activity – as you could by, say, dropping a Banshee into the final AotCR cutscene, but it’s wild how you can get up close and personal to parts that were only visible from a distance. Go watch. Thanks, gamerguy2002.(Louis Wu 20:55:16 UTC)

Podtacular 447: Golden Master Chief
Amongst all the Halo news out this week from 343 and IGN, no one was probably more excited for anything but the announcement that the Master Chief Collection went gold and started hitting consoles as pre-order downloads this week. Not to mention that all the content of the game can’t even fit on one disc or have other content come later, but it means we’re just that much closer to getting our change to experience Master Chief’s saga all over again. In addition to the golden news, leaderboards are coming to the campaign where you can measure your progress compared to rivals you select in game. If you haven’t touched Halo on PC, then you’re in a treat for 8 new maps to hit the Xbox stage for the first time. One other Halo game to keep your eye on is Spartan Strike, the successor to Spartan Assault. We still have another week or two of content to dive into the show so buckle your seat belts.

We chase after the Kell of the Fallen House of Winter, Draksis.

Brinstar (New Mombasa Mix)
A couple of days ago, Wahrer stopped by with a new remix he’d put up – he worked on the Brinstar theme from Super Metroid in the style of ‘Encounter’ from the Mombasa Suite, off of the Halo 2 soundtrack. Interesting combination – go listen! (Louis Wu 20:28:18 UTC)

That’s-a big one!
A side note in the day-one patch story is of interest to UK gamers: According to Halo Waypoint, the release date in the UK has been moved forward – the original November 14 is now November 11, same as in the US. Nice! (Thanks, Moorpheusl9.) Not so nice – Spartan Ops is being delayed for EVERYONE – until December.(Louis Wu 15:48:39 UTC)

Hope you haven’t filled your Xbone drive yet
Kotaku explains why you’ll either be pre-loading the Master Chief Collection (pre-loading for digital copies is available now, actually) or maybe not actually playing on Launch Day – there’s a 20GB Day-One download coming. (It’s not even a patch – it’s just the stuff they couldn’t fit on a 45GB Blu-Ray.) On the plus side – that’s an awful lot of content for your $60! Thanks, rhubarb.(Louis Wu 15:43:52 UTC)

NYCC 2014 Special: Mega Bloks
Mega Bloks is a well known brand for any Halo collector and when it comes to putting forward a hefty penny to some awesome merch, specifically the Halo signature series. At NYCC this past week, they showed for the first time the finalized Scarab set, which is the third one in the Halo Signature series line. Lots of time and effort goes into every set Mega Bloks makes and big builds like the Scarab is no easy task. While we were in New York, we got to sit down with some of the Mega Bloks design team who work on the Halo sets to discuss how sets are designed from concept to final production, interaction with the community at large and all the juicy info on the upcoming Scarab. On this special episode, we are joined by Tim Gorham, Social Media Manager for Mega Bloks Collectors; Felipe Rojas, Product Designer for Boys and Mega Bloks Collectors; and Maxime Pouliot, Product Designer for Mega Bloks Collectors.
