An Apology
There has been lots of Halo news this week - but our active staff is finding it difficult to actually... well, update. (There is activity on our Twitter account, since it's easier to update that from the show floor, but the front page is being sadly neglected, and for that, I'm sorry.) Here's a promise that we'll get ourselves up to date in the next few days, and we should have some interesting information to share about the Master Chief Collection... but today is another quiet day. Enjoy the weather! (Louis Wu 15:29:55 UTC)

Old, new, and Halo 2
The details continue to pour out about the Master Chief collection - as I said to a number of 343 employees yesterday, it looks like I'll be buying an Xbox One sooner than I expected. If you're excited about the details, jump into the conversations on our forum - lots of the little tidbits have been collected by various forumgoers. Some great stuff from the horse's mouth, though, can be found in this IGN Interview with Frank O'Connor and Dan Ayoub (thanks, Kal). Go watch! (Louis Wu 17:00:57 UTC)

Prepare your wallets
Late to the party on this one, but earlier this morning during the Xbox press briefing, 343 Industries spilled the beans and revealed the Master Chief Collection for Xbox One. There's a post up on Waypoint with all the juicy details. Go read!

Halo 5 Guardians: XBOX One Advert
I recently stumbled across a pretty fun fan-made advertisement on Vimeo - Daniel Kemeys and friends put together Halo 5 Guardians: Xbox One Advert. What would YOU do with a Master Chief suit? The VFX were really well-done - go watch! (Louis Wu 15:28:19 UTC)

Serious Halo Schwag
Noah Gallup (a name that might ring a bell for some longer-term Halo fans) has a bunch of Halo memorabilia that he's decided to sell - you can swing by eBay to see the links. There are some very rare and very interesting pieces - a Joyride Series 1 Cortana figure, a pair of really amazing Muckle Master Chiefs (I have one, they're gorgeous), and more. For the serious collector, this cache is absolutely worth exploring. Some of the auctions have nearly a week left, while others have only a couple of days - so look soon! (As a side note, writing this has made me realize that Noah's 2005 video was one of the casualties of a server loss in 2010 - I'm going to look into putting a new copy online soon. I don't have a digital version left, but I'm pretty sure I still have one of the DVDs. It was a fascinating view of a Halo fan's excitement for Halo 2's release.) (Louis Wu 16:50:33 UTC)

Rebuilding the Series for XB1
Engadget has a story (unconfirmed at this point) about a product called 'Halo: The Master Chief Collection' - Halo, Halo 2, Halo 3, and Halo 4 are being put together in a remaster for Xbox One. Details on what that means, exactly, are pretty sketchy (and MS isn't even acknowledging that the project exists). More when we know it! Thanks to Gravemind, who noticed this at IGN.

Kotobukyia Master Chief Statue
Waypoint posted a handful of pictures of Kotobukyia's 12-inch Master Chief statue - it looks pretty slick! Thanks, thebruce0. (colindosaj 19:47:49 UTC)

Finally, A Halo Terrain Editor
Compton
dropped by to let us know that Halo Waypoint tweeted a picture of a Minecraft Master Chief. Apparently Halo content is coming to Minecraft for Xbox - weird. (colindosaj 20:24:23 UTC)

Master Chief v. Captain America Alternate Ending
robofin117 stopped in with word of an alternate ending for Bat in the Sun's Captain America vs Master Chief battle (we mentioned the original back in March). It might make some of you happier. (Louis Wu 23:10:02 UTC)

Master Chief
Shane Blair sent word that he's released 'Master Chief', an original song relating the saga of Halo. Really well-done! Great choices of video, and pretty impressive storytelling-via-song! Go watch. (Louis Wu 22:02:30 UTC)

Definitely prettier than a Mongoose.
Awesome - Impact Props released a video of Master Chief - on a motorcycle.d It made me happy. Thanks, thebruce0. (Louis Wu 20:47:55 UTC)

Halo 4 Music at a pretty good price
Morpheus pointed out a nice bundle at Amazon - it includes the original soundtrack from Halo 4 (on CD and vinyl), the bonus remix CD, the Making of Halo 4 Music DVD (and book), an art print, and a signed Master Chief poster. And a t-shirt. Package price - $35. (Remember - the Vinyl LE, all by itself, was $75 when it was released.) Not too shabby! (Louis Wu 16:40:47 UTC)

Shout Outs to Dave Lang
Last weeks Bombcast had a segment on community and developer interaction and our little site and awesome community got a mention (starts at 27:05). What I want to know is who came up with a fictional explanation as to why Master Chief couldn't originally sprint? (colindosaj 18:38:18 UTC)

Dance Wars: Halo vs COD
What... I... this is hard to explain. The Master Chief faces off against a bunch of Call of Duty guys... in a dance off. (Pretty impressive dancing... but I don't really understand the premise.) Take a look. Thanks, Dust Storm. (Louis Wu 19:45:04 UTC)

Master Chief vs Cap - BTS
Bat in the Sun, the guys behind the recent Captain America vs Master Chief vid, have put out a Behind the Scenes vid - take a look to see how this live-action piece came together! (And for folks who were unhappy with the ending... there's an alternate ending advertised at the end!) Thanks, Kzy1m3. (Louis Wu 20:52:46 UTC)

Spartan Runner
jay mee noticed a game on the Windows Phone marketplace that places the Master Chief in a race for... sometehing. Looks like fun! (Plus, it's free.) If you have the right phone, check it out!

I think the Kig-Yar are looking into that shield
Okay, so you need to remember that the outcome of the fight was decided by fan voting... but the Machinima series 'Super Power Beat Down' just released 'Master Chief vs Captain America'... and the quality is quite impressive. Go watch! Thanks, Mid7night. (Louis Wu 05:13:23 UTC)

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
VideoGamer.com noticed a Halo Waypoint tweet posted earlier this week - a suggestion that the return of Master Chief might be coming sooner than we thought. Is this a coy denial of the rumor that Halo 5 (or whatever it's called) has been pushed back to 2015? Or is it a hint that we might see a new title (maybe Halo 2 Anniversary) sooner than the 2014 holiday season? Or is it just a piece of fan art that someone at Waypoint liked enough to retweet? Only time will tell. (Louis Wu 20:32:30 UTC)

'I need a new edition'
And the stories about Halo 2 Anniversary (and the often-connected rumors of a delay in the first Xbox One title from 343) continue to swirl - GameZone says that in a recent interview they did with Steve Downs (the voice of Master Chief), Downes confirmed both that Halo 2 Anniversary will be coming this year... and Halo 5 (or whatever it's going to be called) will not. Still no word from 343, either way. Update: looks like the wording in the GameZone transcript might have been a little overstated. A Facebook conversation was posted on NeoGAF yesterday, in which Downes stepped back from any real confirmation. Thanks, DEEP NNN. (Louis Wu 23:57:01 UTC)

DeviantARTist SebastianvonBuchwald envisioned a battle between Master Chief... and Mario. Nice artwork! Thanks, SEspider. (Louis Wu 23:54:29 UTC)

Salvation
Trendt Boe stopped in with a link to 'Salvation' - a 2d digital painting of Halo 4's Master Chief and Cortana, animated just because he could. Pretty nice! Take a look. (Louis Wu 13:39:48 UTC)

Master Chief Sculpt Creation Process
Jason Evans has appeared in our news a bunch recently; he creates fantastic Master Chief sculpts. He stopped by today to show you the process. Fascinating!

Catching up while we're behind
Apologies for the lack of Halo news yesterday; blame a broken washing machine and a slightly obsessive family member for my inability to find updating time. Halo Waypoint had no such trouble; their weekly Halo Bulletin was posted as expected, on time. It's full of stuff you'd expect to see - details on upcoming playlist changes, fun tidbits about the office, a blurb about Mortal Dictata, the third book in Karin Traviss' Halo trilogy that will be out next week... but there's also a pretty cool interview with a female Master Chief. Go read about Stephanie! As always, it's available in our local Halo Bulletin Archive as well as on Waypoint. (Louis Wu 08:01:41 UTC)

Why I Game
This isn't really Halo-related, but it's video-game related, and the submitter shows up around here quite a bit. Gina 'Dogiojoe' Johnson has just kicked off a Kickstarter campaign for a book she's written called 'Why I Game' - it's a response to the 'video games are responsible for violence' reaction after many gun-related tragedies in this country. There are Halo-specific perks, in honor of her favorite hero, Master Chief. Check it out! (Louis Wu 22:03:45 UTC)

Master Chief Lifesize Boy
Neo+Gaf=Nerd_Fap found something rather disturbing on Craiglist - don’t worry, it’s PG…unless your mind likes to wander. Someone is selling a boy mannequin dressed as Master Chief. It’s the seller’s son’s costume - but still! (colindosaj 08:38:20 UTC)
