RIP Halo

You ever wonder why we're here?

Halo: Spartan Assault will be abailable on Xbox One on December 24th, and Xbox 360 in January. Check out the release date trailer above.

Get it on November 11, 2014.

Er, Spartan Strike, same thing. Spartan Strike is a touch based, top-down shooter for Windows Phone, Windows 8, and Steam. Check out its announcement trailer above.

Bonnie Ross, General Manager of 343 Industries announced it today saying,

I'm happy to reveal that "Halo 5: Guardians," the next installment in the legendary saga of the Master Chief, will launch on Xbox One in fall of 2015. In the tradition of every "Halo" game since its debut in 2001, it is a massive and exciting project.

"Halo 5: Guardians" is a bigger effort than "Halo 4." That applies to the content and scope of the game, as well as the technology in what's now a brand new and more powerful engine. Certainly there are some core elements carried over from prior games, but we've invested a huge effort in retooling our tech to take full advantage of the Xbox One's hardware and ecosystem to create worlds and experiences worthy of next-gen.

It's a game that will hopefully demonstrate the talent, learnings and abilities of the 343 Industries team. A game that will incorporate the things we learned from "Halo 4" about technology, aesthetics, performance and scale – and perhaps more importantly, understanding and embracing a community of gamers who love what lies at the heart of this game, and the limitless potential of the "Halo" universe.

Bungie released a new tumblr, Hunt the Truth to showcase the ongoing investigation into Master Chief's life.

Get it while it's hot...er, warm!

From the video description:

Join a global celebration on October 26th as we kick off the highly anticipated launch of Halo 5: Guardians with Halo 5: LIVE, a 6-hour live broadcast streaming exclusively on YouTube. The broadcast is jam-packed with exclusive gameplay reveals, celebrity appearances, live interviews with 343 Industries, special tune-ins from around the world, and much more. Halo 5: LIVE begins at 6PM EDT on Oct. 26 and culminates at midnight when Halo 5: Guardians goes on sale in North America (show time is 3PM - 9PM PDT)

So, if whatever store you're waiting in line at has free wifi, maybe you can watch this on your phone instead of talking to your neighbor. 

Please tell me I'm not the only one who recognized the likenesses between Halo ODST and the Changelings. They both have armor, they are both soldiers, and they both strategically launch themselves into areas of battle from above.

"Just gonna get a little bit of cancer, Stan!"
