The Halo Channel announced

 

 

At Gamescom, 343i announced that they will release a central hub called The Halo Channel.

From this hub you'll have acces to all halo games and content that will be available on the Xbox One.

 

The Master Chief Collection will of course be integrated in this hub and from within this channel you'll also be able to stream your gameplay to Twitch and show of your l33t skills.

 

They also made a small announcement regarding The Master Chief Collection.

They've now shed some light upon the ranking system which will be similair to the one in Halo 2.

 

Halo 5: Guardians beta date

 

 

Along with The Halo Channel announcement 343i gave us the time period in which we can play the Beta.

The Beta will be playable from the 29th of december untill the 18th of January. Which is 3 weeks playing time!

(Talk about a Happy New Year)

 

The Beta is focussed on 4v4 combat on 7 maps and 3 gametypes.

You'll also be able to play around with 11 different weapons and a few armour skins.

Along with all that you will be able to unlock items that will carry over to the full game.

Loadouts will not be in this beta so every Spartan starts out equally.

 

In the press conference 343i revealed some screenshots as well which can be viewed down here:

Guys, I am seriously impressed with what I have seen.  The Halo Channel looks incredibly awesome, and should help the community give feedback that is curated and helpful. The trailer for the Halo 5 beta has me and the rest of the community very happy with the direction that the multiplayer is going.  Obviously there will be more social playlists and stuff for big team mayhem, but this intense focus and care on classic competitive gameplay this early before launch shows me that 343 learned their lessons from Halo 4.  I am very hyped.
