Hamza checks out all the sweet offerings of HaloFest
Hamza brought you all the awesome news that came out of HaloFest last night, including Halo: Anniversary being able to play in 3D, the original magnum making it's debut in Reach through an upcoming title update and the Warthog appearing in Forza Motorsport 4. But if you're like me, that just wasn't enough. Luckily, Hamza's got us covered yet again. This time around we actually get to see some of his hands-on time with Halo: Anniversary, an interview with 343's Dan Ayoub, Hamza in a pair of 3D glasses and him totally failing at a game of Halo H.O.R.S.E. with Roosterteeth Production's Jack Pattillo. Did you know? You can now get daily or weekly email notifications when humans reply to your comments.
Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)Y'all should really be clearer on the fact that the multiplayer and firefight is not just "using the Reach engine", it *is* Reach and part of the same experience.
Also, the gameplay in campaign is the same because it is the exact same engine running as before. So jelly. Was it clear whether friendly fire was turned on for your backup marines in Firefight? I'm not sure whether I'd rather have it off to make things easier, or on to add even more challenge as you try to avoid killing the help. 2:30 PM on 05.24.2013 Impressions: Awakening: The Art of Halo 4Art books have been around for a long time, and they take on many different styles and formats.

Well Lindsey Stirling is back, this time doing a cover of the Halo theme while an all out Spartan war is happening around her. It's a pretty good cover, and I love how the 405th Halo cosplayers are just battling it out.

5:00 PM on 02.27.2013 Impressions: Halo 4: Majestic Map PackIn many ways, the Crimson Map Pack was a bit of a letdown for Halo 4 fans. The over-emphasis on vehicles and the concept of giant new maps on top of over-saturated giant maps from the base game was really frustrating, and did...
