Christmas is just around the corner (no peeking now) and rather than going cold turkey on us over the holidays 343i delivered some news gift wrapped to get us in the festive spirit.

Following the lacklustre launch of Halo: The Master Chief Collection many of us were left feeling that the game felt rushed and that 343 had once again 'gone done a goof'. Fortunately although the game is far from a perfect state currently with custom games having persisting issues with high player counts, poor hit detection in Halo 2 Classic and long matchmaking wait times, the game is in a far better state than at launch and continues to see weekly improvements with 343 showing true dedication to ensure everything is functioning as it should as soon as they possibly can.

However 'fixing' TMCC is not the only thing on the cards with the recent announcement...

Finally, the long awaited forge gameplay has been released in the new IGN First video. There are a lot of things I'd like to say regarding the footage, but words are simply not enough in this situation. You just have to see the video for yourself:

Some of you may have trouble loading the video due to heavy site traffic, but fret not! I'll summarize the main points from the footage:
  • New forge canvas: Awash is a 1-foot deep open ocean with small islands in the backdrop. You can walk anywhere on the water's surface.
  • New natural objects: You can now spawn natural terrain including flat land and cliffs as shown in the video. Trees and...

It might not be E3, SDCC, or GamesCom, but that doesn't mean that there isn't news on Halo: The Master Chief Collection surfacing on the web. With the game's launch barely a month away, IGN has begun extensive coverage of the title. This coverage is ongoing, and we'll try to keep you guys up-to-date on it as more info and goodies are released. For now, we have a few neat pieces of information to report.

(10/7/2014) Warlord:
The biggest announcement over the past few days was the reveal of the last of Halo 2: Anniversary's six multiplayer maps. If you haven't guessed yet, it's Warlock. Warlock was itself a remake of Wizard from Halo: Combat Evolved. Warlord is a small, four-way symmetrical arena suited to CTF and multi-team matches. This remake has received a few geometry and weapon changes alongside its hefty visual upgrade. Most notably, there is now a jump up to the front of each of the four platforms around the map...

As many of you are no doubt aware, Gamescom is currently going on over in Cologne. 343i will be hosting a Halo panel tomorrow, but there has already been a hearty helping of Halo news today. Below you can find a compilation of all Halo details coming out of Gamescom. I'll keep this thread up-to-date.

Halo 2 Anniversary:
In addition to showing off Delta Halo in all of H2A's next-gen glory, 343i also continued their trend of announcing another of the game's six remastered multiplayer maps at each gaming expo. This time, the map was Sanctuary as many had predicted. The map comes with the expected visual facelift, seeing the map take on a more rundown feel. There is also a lot of flowing water around the map which leads us to the biggest difference between the Sanctuary we remember and this new version. Certain Affinity have put an emphasis on bringing dynamic elements to these maps, and Sanctuary is no exception. Each base...
