Halo

Halo follows the saga of the Master Chief and his AI assistant Cortana as they battle zealous alien forces, unraveling ancient and devastating secrets of the galaxy along the way. As a first-person shooter, Halo’s multiplayer has been a long-running tradition on Xbox platforms, and a Paramount+ TV adaptation is now in its second season.

Disintegration, the new game from V1 Interactive, the studio headed by Halo co-creator Marcus Lehto, just got its first trailer. There’s only a bit of gameplay, but it looks fun—and will reportedly come with both a story campaign and multiplayer.

During a live stream today 343 Industries showed off gameplay from the Halo: Reach remaster coming to The Master Chief Collection running on PC. It looks clean and responsive, despite the poor streaming quality! The studio also confirmed the game’s first testing phase for Xbox Insiders will begin in June after E3.

Halo: The Master Chief Collection now has a 60 Hz tick rate thanks to the game’s April update. This puts it closer to the refresh rate of games like CS:GO and Overwatch, which helps cut down on things like rubber-banding and getting shot around corners. 343 Industries explains it in detail here.

Halo: The Master Chief Collection got a nice big update yesterday fixing some things and adding others. Chief among the new stuff are extra skulls for Halo: Combat Evolved and options for making the aiming in the old games more like Halo 5.
