You got Halo in my Political Protest!
So both DeGrouch, on our forum, and Richard Beer, via email, let us know about a new video from Greenpeace… but for different reasons. DeGrouch pointed out that the Master Chief makes an appearance, 11 seconds in. Richard Beer felt that the entire thing was inspired by the Halo 3 Believe diorama. Either way, watching it will give you a sense for why Greenpeace wants you to convince LEGO to break off their partnership with Shell Oil. (No, that part’s not Halo-related.)(Louis Wu 18:22:10 UTC)

Temporary Link Established.
If you swing by the Halo Universe forum at Halo Waypoint, you’ll meet ‘Catalog’, a data source with some interesting information. (If you’re not up for scrolling through the full 20-page thread, you can see a lot of the recent stuff by looking at Catalog’s last 10 posts.) Thanks to CINCL for pointing out this info!

Halo at RTX 2014!
Halo: The Master Chief Collection RTX Panel
If you weren’t able to make it out to RTX this weekend and see Halo: The Master Chief Collection – don’t despair! You can watch our Halo: The Master Chief Collection panel right here. Watch to learn about our development journey, the brand-new Gungoose and more!
RTX 2014 Day Three: The Biggest Ever 1st Annual One Time Only Retro Rumble Halo 2 Dual Wield Drink Fest 2014 Championship Extravaganza Starring Rooster Teeth!
Last night, we got together with our friends from Rooster Teeth to host a few friendly rounds of classic Halo 2 Multiplayer as a way of celebrating Halo 2’s 10-year anniversary. Many bullets and smiles were shared between friends and everyone went home a winner.
Play Two Pros!
This afternoon, our Pros were starting to get a bit battle weary so we switched from 1v1s to 2v2s in our classic Halo Play-a-Pro matches. We have to give our pros credit, because no one got more than 3 kills on either of our pros all weekend!
See y’all next year!
It’s been an amazing weekend with everyone in Austin. The best part of these shows is getting to meet so many of our incredible fans and share in that Halo love. You guys are the best part of what we do.
If you weren’t able to make it out to RTX this weekend and see Halo: The Master Chief Collection – don’t despair! Mark your calendars, because we’re packing up our stuff and heading to sunny San Diego for San Diego Comic Con from July 24 to 27! We’ll have more to tell you about what we’re sharing there soon!
RTX 2014 Day Two: Gungeese is the plural of Gungoose
Big day two here in Austin at RTX 2014! Hopefully, you were able to join us at our Halo: The Master Chief Collection panel today, either in-person or online via the livestream on Twitch. If you did you already know that we shared a few new pieces of information at the panel.
First up, not only is the Mongoose in Halo 2: Anniversary, we’ve gone and attached guns to it. It’s called the Gungoose.
One of the best things to do with the Gungeese is to play a new game variant for Halo: The Master Chief Collection. It’s Gungoose CTF and our favorite map to play it on is…Coagulation.
That’s right, all! Coagulation is one of the six Halo 2: Anniversary maps we’ve reimagined just for Halo: The Master Chief Collection. Our panelists were kind enough to share some beautiful concept art.
We can’t wait to play Gungoose CTF on Coagulation with you later this year!
A Fitting Tribute
The 405th Infantry Division are some of our favorite Halo fans. They are passionate and gifted costume and prop artists and all-around fantastic people that make every event they join us at more incredible.
Earlier this year, one of the 405th, Ash Turner, passed away suddenly. A gifted photographer and passionate gamer, his loss was deeply felt in the 405th. His incredible Master Chief armor was donated to the 405th and as tribute to his many contributions and with the help of Captured Dimensions, we’ve immortalized Ash’s armor in 3D.
We’ll be working with the good people at Captured Dimensions to create a 3D tribute for the 405th and be sure to share that with everyone in a future update.
Be sure to stay to the end of the show…
One last treat… folks that stuck around to the very end of our panel have already seen this, but for the rest of you this will be the first time. It’s our latest trailer for Halo: The Master Chief Collection from Sequence. Let us know what you think of it and we’ll see you tomorrow for the third and final day of RTX 2014!
RTX 2014 Day One: Starts with a BANG!
Happy Fourth of July, everyone! Team 343 is celebrating the best way we know how – by hanging out with tons of Halo fans at RTX in Austin, Texas.
We got to spend the day doing all of our favorite things…enjoying time with everyone in Austin, showing off Halo: The Master Chief Collection and playing Halo: CE or Halo 2 classic-style on original Xbox consoles on giant, 32″ CRT TVs against pro players that totally kick our butts.
