Halo: The Master Chief Collection

The Exchange is getting an upgrade!The implementation of the Exchange gave players a new way to unlock gear. Play the game, earn Spartan Points, redeem said points for sweet unlocks. Effective today, almost all of the available Exchange content will be available to grab in perpetuity. That means that if there’s something in the Exchange that you’ve wanted, there’s a good chance it’s there now waiting for you.Additionally, we know there’s some content in the game that only made one appearance (if that) and there have been asks to see it return. A chief example of this is the Avalanche Sniper Rifle: a reward for reaching a rank of 20 in Halo 3 Recon Slayer during Season 4: Reclaimer. Seen once, obtained by a few, and then vaulted – never to be seen again.Some other items include, but are not limited to:Halo 4 BR BLS skinHalo 4 BR PXL skinHalo 4 DMR BLD skinSeasonal/rotational nameplatesThat content will now be available to anyone who simply logs into Halo: The Master Chief Collection at any point.There are a few bundles that will remain rotational but they will do so on a regular quarterly schedule.

The time has come. In celebration of Halo 2’s twentieth birthday, the Digsite modding crew has released their latest content drop which includes two cut missions from the 2004 game. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34690208/2f133c3b04b4486dfe834dc7a89750e89d69add9.png Let’s dive into what’s available on the Steam Workshop for Halo: The Master Chief Collection on PC today! E3 2003 "Earth City" {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34690208/c6f25533b38fc6b91f0a62a3a68542981a8feffa.jpg “Bet ya can’t stick it.” At E3 in 2003, over twenty-one years ago now, a gameplay demo of Halo 2 was shown for the first time to the world. The city of New Mombasa on Earth is under attack by the Covenant and the Master Chief is flown in to join the fight alongside Marines and ODSTs with a new arsenal (namely a single-shot battle rifle and dual-wieldable SMGs), new vehicles, new enemies, and a whole new look.

The fruits of their labor are now available to e

As the Master Chief, we set foot on an ancient ringworld named Halo, fought against the Covenant alongside our ragtag Marine allies and trusty guide Cortana, and uncovered the horrifying secrets in the depths of this alien megastructure before blowing it to smithereens. It seemed like the fight had been finished, but as the Chief himself said at the end: “I think we’re just getting started.” {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34690208/712a18636d0f660b521005630928115f252c36c5.jpg It is November 9, 2004. It’s a Tuesday morning and you know that you’ve got to go to work or school, but that’s the last thing on your mind right now. Your eyes are bleary and bloodshot, your mind utterly scrambled, but it was totally worth it to have queued up at midnight outside your local retailer and stayed up all night playing Halo 2. The Master Chief and Cortana returned to Earth to a hero’s welcome, but the Covenant aren’t far behind as the fight arrives in the city streets of Mombasa. But, what’
