The Halo Community Update returns with a heaping of news for both Halo Wars 2 and Halo 5 fans alike. On the Halo Wars 2 front, the hunter leader Colony has been released for public consumption, and with it comes a ton of fixes on the bug front for the RTS. It has been again confirmed that five more leaders will be delivered as part of the season pass plan, with two new Campaign missions as well. On the Halo 5 front, Big Team Battle has seen another refresh, this time bringing with it the Assault game-mode and five brand new Forge-made maps. The full list of changes on the map front can be seen following the link below. On some of the smaller, but still extensively important news, comments made recently by Frank O’Connor and Kiki Wolfkill assure fans that the focus of the next Halo will be on the Master Chief, a reassurance to many. Halo Wars: DE is also now available on Steam for $19.99, a mark of Halo’s return to the platform.
Of course, this is just some of the news to follow for Halo’s current state, and there’s plenty more to read in the article on HaloWaypoint.com.
This week in Halo, we find ourselves still without the latest Halo Wars 2 leader, Colony, but for a very good reason that would otherwise break even the Lekgolo themselves. More news on the summer season of the Halo Championship Series, Halo: Envoy is released, and someone found out a way to get Warzone to load in Forge or Custom Games (we really don’t know since there’s some ONI wizardry going on to get it working)!
News for Halo Wars this week is good as Halo Wars: Definitive Edition becomes a standalone title for Xbox One, Windows 10 and Steam, and the next leader for Halo Wars 2, Colony, is announced and slated for release. Colony brings the prowess of the Lekgolo to a whole new level with new Hunter-like tanking units and defensive capabilities. More summer 2017 HCS details are announced regarding weapon changes and map layouts along with the full schedule. We even had enough time to squeeze in some discussions and details for changes coming to the podcast and our community in the coming months.
We find ourselves yet again in another week gone by with not much franchise news, but there’s plenty happening in the community, changes to the eSports arena and, perhaps the biggest news this week is the reveal of Xbox Scorpio’s specs and analysis by Digital Foundry. Halo: Envoy hits store shelves and digital platforms in less than two weeks, weapons are being changed in the HCS summer season, this month’s Legendary Crate is available until the end of this week, and we have some amazing community creations featured in a variety of places.
What do you do on a week that is filled with little news? Have a short show, and a short description. There are some cool forge bits in here though and a bit of German too!
