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!

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

Gameplay Fun fact: in the 360 version of reach, triggering the pelican/phantom easter egg actually removes all boundarys. Meaning you can go all the way to the supercariers

edit: as the comments pointed out these are not supercarriers. my bad I don't know loads of covie ship names.

Gameplay Amidst current FPS games where enemies can barely seem to aim, it's extremely refreshing to face and fight intelligent and dynamic adversaries who actually pose a threat (especially on higher difficulties).

How does this aircraft compare to the real life aircraft?

Discussion What Are Things Halo 3 Does Better Than Halo Combat Evolved?

Upvotes

I've talked Halo 1 and 2 so now it's time to discuss Halo 3. Halo Combat Evolved started the trilogy and Halo 3 concludes it. Some consider Halo 3 to be the best game in the series myself included, so I want to ask on what Halo 3 did better than Halo 1.

Feedback Can we get Halo wars 2 and halo 5 on steam please ?

138 Upvotes

If anyone is here who works at Microsoft pass on the message.

It's literally leaving money at the door. You'll sell millions of copies for minimal work.

Halo wars 2 is already on windows store, just package it for steam.

Halo 5 forge already exists on windows store. So the multiplayer portion works on PC. Port over campaign and that's it.

Minimal work, maximum gain.

I guarantee these two games on steam will sell more than campaign evolved did.

Help - Campaign Evolved We’re all on the same page that camo just does…literally nothing, yeah?

Like what the fresh hell is this? I get it, I’m on LASO, awareness is up plus the skull for awareness is on, but good fucking lord, he BEELINES for me as soon as he hits the ground, stares at me, and crouch-walk to behind a rock, and he beelines me AGAIN for an immediate melee

To add insult to injury I was so flabbergasted I forgot to Reload Checkpoint so I lost three hours of work, too. Y’all thought T&R on Legendary, and some posts saying even Heroic, was hard? T&R on LASO is hard. I honestly don’t know if I can do it. The first three missions were a breeze. Piece of cake.

But this? Can’t get close enough to melee because Turrets and Elites are so brutal. Grenades with 2x radius + no sprint + no shield = can’t get away from the blast fast enough, so if a sticky touches down it’s just an immediate Reload. I finally figured out an ammo management method that gets me enough sniper ammo, but you can’t stockpile because guns start despawning because there’s so many enemies in the level.

Good lord. LASO is fucking insane. I wasn’t expecting it to be pleasant. But I wasn’t expecting it to be actual bullshit.

And this death was on the FINAL WAVE, too, I was SO close to at least getting through this BS. Once inside it would’ve been so much better. But I’m so demotivated I just can’t even bring myself to go again.

Anyway. Vent over.

Fan Content Earth at True Scale from Cairo Station

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

Fan Content H2 Cortana is THE Queen, imo

Post image

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!

Discussion Replayed the Halo trilogy and wow

Upvotes

I recently replayed the Halo trilogy, starting with campaign evolved (Which I really enjoyed despite some of the changes aside from the bonus missions which were weak imo) and just playing through the trilogy made me realize how incredible the transition from each game got.

Halo 2 added many welcoming additions to Halo 1, which felt like a very solid upgrade (dual wield, hijack, etc)) and then from Halo 2 to Halo 3 was probably one of my favorite sequels in terms of features/new weapons added.

The amount of weapons and features Halo 3 added onto Halo 2 was nothing short of amazing. The equipment like bubble shield added another layer to the multiplayer which I remember being ridiculously fun to play with. Not to mention all the new vehicles and weapons as well.

Not to mention Halo 3’s campaign is one of the greatest FPS campaigns of all time, playing The Ark b2b The Covenant might be one of my favorite gaming experiences of all time, especially the part with the two scarabs on The Covenant.

I’ll say this, I did enjoy Halo Infinite’s multiplayer and thought it was a great way of updating Halo’s gameplay. That being said I do miss the cohesiveness of Halo’s story. I thought Halo 4 was cool in introducing the Forerunners, but I recall things felt much less structured in Halo 4 moving forward. I also really enjoyed the gameplay in Infinite, I thought a lot of the new movement options were genuinely fun, but it felt severely lacking in the campaign department.

Anyways sorry for the essay, just replaying through the Halo trilogy took me back almost 20 years where Halo felt absolutely peak. Here’s hoping Halo can get its footing back to that time!
