[dropcap size=small]H[/dropcap]ail to Master Chief. With just over a month until the launch of Halo: The Master Chief Collection for Xbox One, Microsoft’s 343 Industries has released two new screenshots for the remastered version of Halo: Combat Evolved.
The collection will include remastered versions of Halo: CE, Halo 2, Halo 3, and Halo 4, all of which will be fully equipped with multiplayer capabilities. Players will also be able to watch the Halo: Nightfall live-action series that is being produced by Alien and Blade Runner director Ridley Scott, as well as have access to the beta for Halo 5: Guardians. By watching Nightfall, users will unlock rewards for Guardians during its pre-release period of December 29, 2014 to January 19, 2015.
343 revealed the images through its blog and hinted at the possibility of gameplay video becoming available in the near future. The developer also had answers to some pressing questions that have been asked as of late regarding the new version of Halo: CE.
In a nutshell, the Xbox One version will include all game types and custom game type options from the original, the maps for Halo: CE and Halo 2 that were PC exclusives, a new list of sets of weapons, and its Matchmaking playlists will consist of games with radar both enabled and disabled. Users are going to be able to party like it’s 2001.
343’s Andy Dudynsky, who goes by the codename Bravo on the company’s blog, is encouraging players with other burning questions to ask via Twitter, so have at it!
Halo: The Master Chief Collection will be released exclusively for Xbox One on November 11.
The nostalgia is overwhelming. Could not be more excited for this.
