Reintroduce yourself to The Arbiter in this Halo: Master Chief Collection trailer
“I have had many names in this long war. The humans knew me as the destroyer. To the Covenant, I was Supreme Commander. The Prophets named me Arbiter. And your Master Chief calls me Friend. How well do you know your friend, human? And what will you call me when you learn the truth of what I have done.”
Because of Keith David’s long career, the actor is known for many different roles to many different people. To some, he fought “Rowdy” Roddy Piper over a pair of sunglasses for 20 minutes. For others (like me), he fought The Thing and may, or may not, have been assimilated by the end of the film. But most video game fans know him as The Arbiter, the Covenant Elite who helped save the universe in Halo 2 and Halo 3.
As part of this Fall’s Halo: The Master Chief Collection for the Xbox One, new cutscenes featuring The Arbiter will be added to Halo 2, linking it to next year’s Halo 5: Guardians. You can get a taste of this expanded narrative in the trailer above, but to see the full story, you’ll need to pick up Halo: The Master Chief Collection on November 11.

MS @ E3 14: Microsoft confirms Halo: The Master Chief Collection coming this Fall
Do you remember that Halo: The Master Chief Collection rumor that cropped up a few weeks ago? It’s real and it’s more than we could have ever hoped for.
Halo: The Master Chief Collection will include remastered and remade versions of Halo, Halo 2, Halo 3, and Halo 4. The Collection will include every multiplayer map ever to grace a Master Chief Halo game, more than 100 in all, along with six maps from Halo 2 that will be recreated exactly as they existed in 2004. For those who are interested in the campaigns, every level from every game will be unlocked right from the start. And Microsoft has said that players will be able to create a unified playlist of their favorite levels across all four games. So if you’re one of those vocal folks who hates “The Library,” now you can skip it. And as with Forza Horizon 2, all four games will run in crisp 1080p.
The compilation will also include access to the Halo 5: Guardians multiplayer beta and the Halo: Nightfall live-action series (it has a name!).
Halo: The Master Chief Collection will be available this Fall.

Rumor: Halo: The Master Chief Collection will compile series on Xbox One this Fall
Did you think that Halo 2 Anniversary Edition rumor was a good idea? Well, check this out. In a new report published by Engadget, the technology blog is claiming that Microsoft will release a compilation of the four “main series” Halo games this Fall for the Xbox One. The bundle will be known as Halo: The Master Chief Collection and it’s said that it won’t include spinoff titles like Halo 3: ODST and Reach. Instead, we’ll be greeted to remastered and remade versions of the Master Chief’s four big adventures ahead of the release of Halo 5: Guardians in 2015. Engadget also notes that Saber Interactive, the developer behind Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary for the Xbox 360, has an unannounced Xbox One project in the works.
It’s certainly interesting speculation and would go a long way towards filling up the Xbox One’s rather sparse Fall 2014 lineup. Microsoft has said that this year’s E3 Expo will be a “great” time for Halo fans and the announcement of a Master Chief Collection would certainly serve as an appropriate apology for Halo 5’s delay.
