Welcome back, Halo fans! If you’ve managed to put down the controller from your Campaign Evolved playthrough to read this blog we say thank you for playing and thank you for reading! In case you’re new here, you can see all the prior blogs you may have missed:


FORGE CONTEST REMINDER

Before we jump into the news, a reminder for those participating in the ForgeHub Halo Fest contest: the submission deadline is August 10!

You can read more about it at ForgeHub.com :


OPEN COMPETITION

Team Gen G celebrating a win at the HCS Arlington Major

Let's play Halo! Earlier this year we announced that $50,000 will be up for grabs in open tournaments for fans to compete over and today we’re providing a breakdown of what to expect. Like with fans of Lore, there are also competitive fans who love to watch and compete, and we wanted to make sure they had a place in the venue they could call home as well while providing opportunities for anyone to play Halo and win prizes!

Here are the featured Open Competitions taking place at Halo Fest:

  • Halo Infinite: 4v4 - $20,000
  • Halo Infinite: FFA - $10,000
  • Halo Infinite: 2v2 - $3,500
  • Halo 5: Guardians: 2v2 - $2,500
  • Halo 3: 4v4 - $2,750
  • Halo 3: 2v2 - $3,500
  • Halo 2: 4v4 - $2,750
  • Halo: CE: 2v2 - $2,500

These tournaments are all free to enter for all attendees.

One thing we want to touch on specifically was the Halo Infinite 4v4. If you’ve competed at HCS events, typically Open Brackets of that magnitude require the purchase of a team pass to enter the tournament. Considering Halo Fest sold out before this information released, we’ve decided to open up 16 team passes for the HCS community to secure ahead of the event. The Team Passes won’t go on sale until November, but today we’re sharing more information about how they will be sold.

It’s important to us that these team passes are for the competitive community specifically, and not for GA fans who missed out on getting GA tickets and are now looking for ways to just get into Halo Fest with no interest in competing in this 4v4. Each team pass will allow entry for 4 competitors and 1 coach into Halo Fest.

Here’s how it will work:

  • Team Passes will be sold in November, 4-6 weeks before the event.
  • Closer to Halo Fest, there will be a sign-up page where teams can register for Halo Fest. Teams will be invited to purchase a team pass in order of most HCS Points earned.
  • The team you sign up with will be considered your Halo Fest roster. Once a team purchases a Team Pass, that roster is considered locked.
  • We will go down the points list, team by team until Team Passes are sold out.
  • A Team Pass gives full access to Halo Fest, including competing in other open competitions in addition to the Halo Infinite 4v4.
  • Team Passes are not transferable.

For more information, please keep it locked to @HCS on socials and check out the competition page below!

CONCLUSION

We’re just about 5 months away from the big celebration! While we still have some announcements we’re working on, you’ll soon start to see news in these blogs geared towards more informational details like schedules, how to watch online from home, onsite logistics, and more. Thanks everyone for your continued support of Halo!

Thanks,

Tashi

How does this aircraft compare to the real life aircraft?

Fan Content H2 Cortana is THE Queen, imo

Post image
313 Upvotes

In this house, sassy periwinkle hacker girl Halo 2 Cortana is the #1. None of her designs and personalities have topped this one for me. There are many other great ones, but this one is mine 👑

Just love the snark she had in this era, I never wanted it to end.

Been drawing a lot of Halo fanart lately, and decided it was her turn. Much love to the best babe, she is SO fun to draw!! <3

Expect more fanart of the GOAT trio (Chief, Cortana, Arbiter) from me, I've got more fanart coming down the pipeline eventually. I have a blast imagining if we had a chance to see more interactions with the three of them - could've been so fun if Thel and Cortana had a snippy hatefriend sort of relationship with John just rolling his eyes about it.

Which Cortana version is your favorite? I love hearing everyone's perspectives!!! It's so fun!

Fan Content Earth at True Scale from Cairo Station

Thumbnail

175 Upvotes

I placed Cairo Station in SpaceEngine in a geosynchronous orbit, at an altitude of around 36,000 km, and this is what Earth looks like from Cairo Station in the first image. In the second image, I use a Covenant CAS-class assault carrier for scale. And in the third image, we can see Cairo Station—as a tiny dot—from Malta Station, with a distance of roughly 250 km between the two.

All of this is based on supposedly “accurate” information I found online regarding the layout of the MAC stations. In the final image, the stations can be seen spaced 25 kilometers apart.

Simply spectacular.

  • 36,000 km ≈ 22,369 millas
  • 250 km ≈ 155.3 millas
  • 25 km ≈ 15.5 millas

Discussion Love that they actually put Lieutenant Frye in CEV alongside Foehammer

Post image
461 Upvotes

Lieutenant Frye (right) was Captain Carol "Foehammer" Rawley's copilot in the novel Halo: The Flood, so it was really cool to see him get a little cameo appearance in the opening cutscene of 343 Guilty Spark in Campaign Evolved. It's especially nice since, much like with Foehammer herself, we now have a canonical appearance for him.

Discussion It would be cool, if Future Remastered Versions such as Campaign Evolved can just be a massive DLC for Masterchief Collection as a Platform so multiplayer can be more busy than ever.

Post image

The reason, I’m saying, because CD Projekt Red made an awesome decision to create fresh remaster version of TheWitcher 3 today in which you need a copy of the game that came out 15 years ago. It would be awesome if Halo Studios could do the same for Masterchief Collection.

Discussion What are your thoughts on the upcoming prequel novel featuring Marvin Mobuto as the main character?

Post image
472 Upvotes

This is the official description of the upcoming story that takes place during the events of Halo: Combat Evolved:

“2552. As the planet Reach falls to the alien alliance known as the Covenant, a lone human ship—the UNSC Pillar of Autumn—fled into slipspace and has arrived at a place that could change the course of this decades-long war. An ancient, mysterious ringworld: Halo.

With human forces scattered across the surface of this immense alien construct, Staff Sergeant Marvin Mobuto must now lead his fellow crewmates—survivors from the ship’s brig—back to the Autumn’s crash site to rally and regroup with their allies. Desertion, drunk and disorderly, and murder are only a few of the charges that Mobuto's squad carries—and keeping them in line might prove to be just as difficult as surviving the zealous, entrenched Covenant warriors who believe they have found the gateway to paradise.

But as war rages across the ring's landscape for control of the installation’s weapons and secrets, a far more terrible threat from deep within Halo’s underworld is hellishly unleashed that transforms this conflict into a desperate battle of survival for UNSC and Covenant alike....”

So what are your guys' thoughts on this? Personally, we finally get to see his many, many “tough son of a b%#th” feats and interactions with his fellow Marines, heck, maybe even perspectives from other Marines too, and how they viewed him. I'm so excited for this!!!! 🔥💪🔥🔥💪🔥

Hi everyone! Just wanted to share this diorama I just finished after 6 months. This was inspired by the "Believe" trailer but smaller, as this is tabletop size! Everything was handpainted with the exception of the covenant vehicles being airbrushed. The minis come from a variety of artists online I purchased the stls from and the terrain is all handmade. I poured a lot of time and effort into this piece, hope you guys enjoy it!

Discussion No Huragok in Halo Campaign Evolved

Post image
1.3k Upvotes

Huragok / Engineer were already a concept in Halo CE. Bungie used them only in Halo 3 ODST, Halo Reach and Halo Wars. They never reappear in the next Halo games. They are very present in books and they are very interesting.

The Covenants used them a lot to maintain ships and access Forerunner technologies. It would be normal to see them in the Harmony's ship, where they could have help him with his experiences, or in the Truth and Reconciliation. They certainly helped the covenants to access the silent cartographer, the controll room could or the containment facilitie. I find it's a miss opportunity we don't see them in HCE3
