So while I’ve been recovering from the flu (not fun), 343 has posted the patch notes preview for tomorrow’s update to Halo 5. Oddball, Xbox One X enhancements and more are on the way.(MacGyver10 19:42:32 UTC)

Sometimes you’re working your way through Reddit when a blast from the past catches your eye! I still have (and wear!) my brown/yellow shirt!(MacGyver10 15:42:06 UTC)

We’ve heard a lot about the list of games receiving Xbox One X enhancements, but the Xbox team announced via IGN that even some Xbox 360 games are getting some love! You can see a comparison video they’ve posted of Halo 3 playing on both the 360 and the Xbox One X!(MacGyver10 21:27:04 UTC)

Updating the fans of Halo’s universe on the severely mixed-bag that was the Master Chief Collection, Frankie wrote a novel on Reddit going over some of the difficulties they faced attempting to bring all the Halo games on to one platform. It’s a great read, and gives me hope that we will have an MCC fully-realized at some point next year! (Thanks General Vagueness!)(MacGyver10 21:06:44 UTC)

Elaborating on some of last night’s Halo Livestream, you can read all about oddball becoming officially supported in Halo 5, Halo Wars 2 Xbox/PC crossplay and the news of the Master Chief Collection overhaul in last night’s Halo Community Update! Alot of great stuff in there! (Thanks davidfuchs!)(MacGyver10 14:47:41 UTC)

Lots of great news out of last night’s livestream, but the biggest for many will be a fix, overhaul and Xbox One X enhancements for the Master Chief Collection are all coming in 2018!

As announced today, work is underway on updates, fixes and Xbox One X enhancements for Halo: The Master Chief Collection – coming in 2018. pic.twitter.com/DlByQ2SkU1

The new VR/AR experience for Halo dropped today, and it took a quick YouTube search to find a gameplay video from the new Halo: Recruit experience! Looks like there might be more to come as well, as the video stops right before it could get pretty exciting on a warthog!(MacGyver10 21:49:05 UTC)

Revenant1988 shared what EuroGamer is calling Halo Wars 3 concept art from a failed pitch. It came from the senior concept artist at Creative Assembly, Brad Wright, and has since been taken off his portfolio. You can see the images here on Imgur from what we’ve heard now were cancelled pitches for Halo Wars 2 according to Reddit.(MacGyver10 21:34:46 UTC)

He’s a cruncher of numbers and savant of scale, so Halopedia interviewed our very own Stephen Loftus about the contributions he has made to the universe we all love. Give the interview a read and let him know your thoughts in our forum!(MacGyver10 21:24:02 UTC)
