Arrowhead Game Studios CEO Johan Pilestedt has dismissed comparisons between Helldivers 2 and Halo. Both titles are military-driven sci-fi games that involve missions to liberate planets with as much fire-power as possible. Over the weekend, PlayStation fan account OmoiteS posted a series of posts comparing the two franchises. “Almost a month later, Helldivers 2 still has over 400k concurrent users on Steam. Meanwhile free-to-play Halo Infinite turned out an utter FLOP,” they wrote alongside an image that showed just…

From the first trailer alone, I could tell Halo season 2 would go in a different direction than the first. Where season 1 was bogged down in strange storytelling choices that didn’t leave much room for its characters — namely, the Spartans — to do what they do best — namely, kick Covenant ass — season 2 feels more in line with what a Halo show should be about.According to Pablo Schreiber, the difference mostly comes down to tone. “The biggest place where we succeed on a level that we didn’t quite reach in season 1 is that…

The minds behind Halo season 2 have seemingly learned their lesson. The first episode, which premieres on February 8th on Paramount Plus, is in stark contrast with season 1’s pilot. The plot is sharper and more focused, while Master Chief (Pablo Schreiber) and Silver Team feel more in line with the Spartans we’ve seen across two decades of games. That combined with improved visual effects, correcting the previous season’s error of making the Covenant aliens look plasticky and fake, makes for a season premiere that feels…

Screenshot: MicrosoftAlthough they didn’t appear in the original telling of the Fall of Reach as seen in the 2001, Noble Team—a squad of next-generation Spartan-III supersoldiers, the successors to the Spartan II program—were the primary protagonists of the version of the Fall of Reach depicted in Halo: Reach. There were six members of the team—Carter, Kat, Jun, Emile, Jorge, and Noble Six, Reach’s customizable player character—and spoiler, but unsurprisingly so given everything you’ve read here so far, all but one of…

Halo, a story set in the 26th century about the battle between humans and aliens, is one of the most successful video game TV adaptations. Despite initial controversy over the portrayal of the main character and a plot that deviated from canon, the series was the most-watched title on its parent platform, Paramount+, in 2022. Halo’s creators were apparently prepared for the success of their show, as they green-lit season 2 before season 1 even made its streaming debut. The new instalment of the series is fast…

Near the end of 2023, singer and actress Halle Bailey made headlines when it was reported that she was expecting her first child with boyfriend DDG. The star herself didn’t respond to the chatter, though the rumor mill continued to chun. It wasn’t until earlier in January that Bailey finally confirmed that she’d given birth to a baby boy named Halo. Since the announcement was made, many have offered their congratulations to her and her partner. It would seem that at least one person takes issue with how everything has…
