Hopes for the Halo Movie?

So if you’ve been wondering, whatever happened to that Halo movie? Fear no longer! We have been given hope. Frank O’Conner of Microsoft had a recent exchange. It went something like this:

After the panel, a high level network executive came up to O'Connor and said, "We want to do something with Halo."

O'Connor shot back, "Bring piles of money."

The executive, taken aback, responded, "For Halo, we will."

This is a breath of fresh air. Perhaps we can see a strong Hollywood picture showcasing Master Chief Vs The Covenant.

If this comes to pass then I’ve got one thing to say: See you at the Theaters!

Noble Map Pack Preview (IGN Xbox)

Sparky - 2 Comments
IGN Xbox 360 has an excellent multipage preview of all three multiplayer maps for the Noble Map Pack. Not only do they include new screens and details but also a brand new gameplay video. We’ve included some the juicer tidbits below in our summary as well as the video in an embedded player.

• Aruthur Giles promotes the free floating low gravity environments available in Anchor 9. He describes it as “HOLY CRAP I AM IN SPACE”. He recommends use of the DMR and Jetpacks on this map.
• Tempest provides an “absolute blast” for objective games such as multiple CTF rounds. There are multiple paths to each bases on the map. These include tunnels leading to the points used in territories.
• Giles predicts that the last map Breakpoint will be a fan favorite once the map pack hits later this month. The map is very useful when it comes to the invasion gametype.

We will have more coverage in one week when the Noble Map Pack hits on November 30th. Stay tuned!

Halo: Reach Top Kills - 11.19.10

Sparky - 1 Comment
We’re in the middle of a torrent of new releases. This hasn’t stopped IGN Xbox 360 from releasing their weekly “Top Ten Kills” videos. #9 is a pretty slick use of armor lock to get an assassination, The defeated Spartan in #7 surely wished he hadn’t jumped over that ledge and finally a Spartan is lifted up in to the air only to fail in #5. There are many other kills included in the video below – but those were our favorites.

Halo Wars Online Community Closing on December 15th

Sparky - 2 Comments
Microsoft will be dissolving the online community for Halo Wars effective December 15th. This means that the leaderboards and stat tracking available on the official HaloWars.com website will cease to be. The official forums will be shutdown as well – with users being redirected to the Halo Waypoint boards instead.

Many users within the community are not happy with this decision. They have complained that the game’s ranked mode will be unplayable with no stat tracking. Microsoft has not issued a statement regarding the closure of the Halo Wars forums and online stat tracking outside of the original post. Despite the lack of statistics and forums Halo Wars will still be playable over Xbox Live.

Halo Wars was developed by the now defunct Ensemble Studios and released exclusively for the Xbox 360. Since its release in March 2009 the game has shipped over 1 million units and holds a GamesRanking score of 82%.

Microsoft Shoots Down Idea of Halo: CE Hi Def Remake

Sparky - 2 Comments
Those waiting for a high definition remake of classic first person shooters Halo: Combat Evolved and Halo 2 shouldn’t hold their breath. In a recent article Microsoft Games Studio Vice President Phil Spencer shot down the idea of HD remakes when discussing things with IGN.com. It seems that for the time being Microsoft is focusing on future efforts rather than dig up the big hits of the past.

""We obviously have a lot of new things going on, so the thought of re-doing a bunch of things is probably difficult to just weave into the overall portfolio."
