As some of you may know, 343i officially announced the final map that will be in the Anniversary Map Pack: High Noon.  It is a remake of the Halo: CE map Hang ’em High, which is definitely one of the all-time classics.  You also may have heard of some Kinect integration into Halo CEA.  There are three main features that we will get to use with Kinect and Halo next month: Analyze Mode, the Library, and Voice Commands.  Finally, new Waypoint features will be landing soon to expand your Halo experience along with ATLAS and Custom Challenges.  See the Official Press Release for more information and some additional screenshots.

Halo CEA is Gold with Achievements

Posted on October 15, 2011 by Dust Storm

Yesterday, Halo Waypoint posted the achievements that we will see on Halo CEA that is coming out in one month.  Dang, it’s that time already.  In addition to the achievements, today it was announced that Halo CEA has gone gold: in other words, the final code for the came is done and copies are being manufactured as we speak.  So, for those of you who want to see what you’ll be up against in terms of gamerscore, go check out the post and prepare yourself be playing a little of the original, if you still have it (which you should!).  The fan favorite at the moment seems to be Popcorn.gif.
