HHW Gaming: Here’s When You Can Expect ‘Halo Infinite’s Co-Op Mode To Arrive
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: 343 Industries / HALO Infinite Halo Infinite’s buzz has come and gone, but 343 Industries hopes this latest news sparks some new excitement and brings players back. Fans were epically let down when 343 Industries announced that co-op mode, a feature fans wanted the most when Halo Infinite was first released, would not be available at launch. Unfortunately, we are still waiting for co-op mode to come, but now at least, we have an idea of when we can expect it to arrive. Related Stories Along with the announcement of the 2022 roadmap, 343 Industries says co-op mode will launch sometime in “late August,” Halo’s head of creative Joseph Staten said in a recent blog post. Along with that announcement, some more sad news came, a split-screen co-op, which allows ...
Thank God You Can See Master Chief’s Face in Halo the TV Show
The genre-defining video game Halo has been in development for a potential screen adaptation for nearly a decade now, and over that time one question has loomed large: Would we ever see the face of the franchise’s main character, a taciturn super-solider named Master Chief Petty Officer John-117, who has never been unmasked over the course of 16 video games made over 21 years? It’s a question that the Paramount+ series, which debuted this spring, answered towards the end of its first episode, as Master Chief (brought to life here by Pablo Schreiber) removed his helmet while being held at gunpoint by the terrified Kwan (Yerin Ha), in an effort to connect with her. Up until that point, Master Chief had been a man of action but always held at a distance by the show because of the full suit of...
HHW Gaming Exclusive: ‘Halo The Series’ Showrunner & Executive Producer Speak About Making Better Video Game Movies & TV Shows
Video Games developed into films, and now television shows should be a homerun for studios because they are rich with source material to work with, but as we all know for a long time, that hasn’t been the case for many years. Thanks to shows like Halo The Series and other successful movies based on video games, that trend seems to be coming to an end. Halo The Series is just one day away from premiering on Paramount+, but the show is already polarizing, dividing franchise fans. The show, which is nine years in the making, follows Pablo Schreiber’s Master Chief and the Silver Team on a new timeline, moving away from the messy one we have experienced in the insanely-popular Halo video games. The idea the game is not sticking with the storyline, Schreiber’s version of the John 117 taken off h...
HHW Gaming Exclusive: Pablo Schreiber Says It’s A “Huge Honor & Responsibility” Becoming ‘Halo’s Master Chief
Get used to it. When you think of the legendary Spartan soldier, John 117, aka Master Chief, you’re going to see Pablo Schreiber’s face. After years of starts and stops and visionary changes, the long-awaited Showtime produced Halo original series set to arrive on Paramount+ later this month, and it got the video game world buzzing. The episodic show follows Schreiber’s Master Chief and his squad of Spartans dubbed the Silver Team during a conflict between the UNSC and a bunch of rebels who wants no parts of what the United Space Command has to offer. For the most part, the rebels fight valiantly but fear the UNSC’s best weapon, the Spartans. They spark fear in rebel fighters’ hearts due to their superhuman abilities, efficient combat skills, stone-cold killer attitudes. The rebels don’t k...

SXSW Review: Halo Feels Like A Reskinned Version of Sci-Fi Shows Past
This review is part of our coverage of the 2022 SXSW Film Festival. The Pitch: In the mid-26th century, a sprawling human empire comes under attack from the mysterious Covenant, an alliance of alien races dedicated to a fanatical religion surrounding a race of ancient extraterrestrials and the artifacts they leave behind. To combat them (and, not coincidentally, the rough-and-tumble insurrectionists who resist humanity’s militaristic government, the UNSC), Dr. Catherine Halsey (Natascha McElhone) has created the Spartans — armored supersoldiers trained and tortured from birth to be the ultimate, emotionless killing machine. The biggest and most badass of them all is John-117, aka the Master Chief (Orange Is the New Black‘s Pablo Schreiber), who can dispatch a Covenant Elite and a colo...

Halo Trailer Finally Reveals A Glimpse at Master Chief’s Story: Watch
Paramount+ unveiled the trailer for its upcoming live-action adaptation of Halo on Sunday, revealing our first substantial look at the intergalactic sci-fi drama.
