'Halo 2: Anniversary' edition shows some games get better with age
Halo: The Master Chief Collection promises to be the ultimate compilation for fans of John-117's adventures and online competitors alike, featuring remastered versions of all four numbered Halo titles (and access to the Halo 5: Guardians beta when it's live). Undoubtedly the most exciting part of the package is Halo 2: Anniversary, a fully remastered version of the 2004 title that set the bar for online multiplayer gaming on consoles. With attentive level design, balanced gameplay and a strong online ranking and matchmaking system, the game spawned a pro scene that's persisted from sequel to sequel, console to console. Halo: Combat Evolved may have introduced us to Master Chief's world, but it was Halo 2 that assured the franchise's legendary status, and it's coming back for more.
Xbox One gets new Halo Channel in November
As if Halo: The Master Chief Collection wasn't a juicy enough feast of your favorite Xbox sci-fi military franchise. Today at Gamescom Bonnie Ross, GM at 343 Industries, revealed an new hub for fans of the game on Xbox One -- The Halo Channel. It'll coincide with the launch of the The Master Chief Collection in November, and you'll be able to chat, catch news and, of course, dive right into your preferred edition of the game (we're fans of the original if you're asking). As you might expect, the channel also comes with the obligatory exclusive content and Twitch integration too.
