Halo 4 Champions Bundle – “Pitfall” (The Pit Remake) Walkthrough!

From the 343 Industries Livestream at RTX 2013. “Pitfall”, a remake of the classic Halo 3 multplayer map “The Pit”. This is from the Champions Bundle and part of the Bullseye Pack!

This map needs no introduction. It’s a remake of the classic Halo 3 map “The Pit” with some minor changes. Such as a bigger-wider overshield tunnel with a gravity lift to the sword room, and a drop down hatch in the sword room. There will be a vanilla version for multiplayer matches though.

Is Halo 4 Dead? Population Numbers Continue To Decrease

Posted on by

As many of you are aware, the number of players online player Halo 4 has been on the decline. A popular image has been floating around the inter-webs demonstrating that there is in fact an elephant in the room… or lack there of.

Halo_playtime_610

Shown by this image, Halo Reach was pulling higher numbers this point in it’s video game life cycle than Halo 4. Which is a little disheartening and begs the question what does 343 Industries have to do for Halo 5 and beyond?

Here’s also a screenshot of the Halo 4 playlists and numbers shortly after the midnight release November 6th PST/PDT for comparison.

Thoughts on what 343 Industries needs to do?

“Halo on Xbox One” – E3 2013 (HD) Trailer – “Halo 5 Reveal”?

Posted on by

Hello everyone, 343 Industries made the trip down to E3 and left us all with our mouths wide open wanting more!! That sounds wrong… but I don’t care!

Halo Xbox One

They unveiled a video showing Master Chief wandering a desert, with Cortana’s chip in hand, and then a massive Forerunner-like beast emerges from the ground. Could Master Chief be searching for Cortana or is the chip just a constant reminder? Only time will tell.

I honestly was expecting a side Halo game like ODST, Halo Wars, more Halo Spartan Assault, maybe even a Halo 2 Anniversary announcement. I had slight feeling that 343 would show a side game and perhaps a very minuscule teaser for Halo 5. I have a gut feeling that this will be Halo 5 as Master Chief has never appeared in a side Halo game (like the ones mentioned before) this appears to be a main story line game.

The game is currently being called “Halo on Xbox One” with everyone assuming it to be Halo 5. But only time will tell. The game will be released on Xbox one in 2014.

The award-winning franchise continues on Xbox One, beginning in 2014. Final title to be announced at a later date. – HaloWaypoint

@Xbox just tweeted linking the video calling it Halo 5. Could this be a typo or just revealing the truth all too soon? Again only time will tell

Halo: Spartan Assault Gameplay – “Destroy”

Posted on by

DESTROY THE ANTI-AIR WRAITHS

Although the UNSC forces successfully slowed the Covenant, enemy numbers were too great to halt their advance indefinitely. A continuous stream of Covenant infantry, Wraiths, and air support were moving towards Research Facility Alpha.
Spartan Palmer must destroy the anti-air Wraiths and give the UNSC Hornets a chance to land near the outposts.

Halo: Spartan Assault Gameplay – “Clear”

Posted on by

CLEAR A LANDING ZONE FOR SECOND WAVE OF MARINES.

As Spartan Palmer led the charge on Draetheus-V, Spartan Davis continued to face considerable enemy threat on the moon. On a stroke of luck, the UNSC Eminent Domain was able outmaneuver Covenant forces in orbit over the moon and offer some support by deploying marines to the southern Mirror Flats.
The 3rd Helljumper Platoon was the first to land on Draetheus-V’s moon. Spartan Davis, having held out against a constant stream of Unggoy and Sangheli for a full day, quickly set out to clear the landing zone for the next wave of drop pods.
