Re-live HaloFest’s Highlights Here

To celebrate today’s launch of Halo: The Master Chief Collection, fans tuned into HaloFest – a livestream event broadcast on Xbox Live, Xbox.com, Twitch, YouTube and select global press sites. The three day event included the Halo: Master Chief Collection Invitational Tournament where pro players from around the world battled it out for the chance to win $50,000 and the opportunity to be the first to play the Halo 5: Guardians Multiplayer Beta, set to arrive December 29.

On Monday night, HaloFest culminated with Halo fans from around the world joining Xbox and 343 Industries at the Avalon Theater in Los Angeles for an unforgettable night to celebrate the past, present and future of Halo. The event world premiered the first two episodes of Halo: Nightfall and provided a first look at gameplay of the Halo 5: Guardians Multiplayer Beta.

You can watch the HaloFest finale in its entirety right here, or head straight for the highlights.

Below, catch the dramatic Grand Finals of the Halo: The Master Chief Collection Launch Invitational tournament between Str8 Rippin and Believe the Hype:

After the finals, we staged the first ever Halo 5: Guardians exhibition match, complete with commentary from Andy “Bravo” Dudynsky and Alex “Goldenboy” Mendez:

Thanks to everyone who tuned in last night and across the weekend. See you online soon.

      Same problem I’m having here in the US, I’m trying to use a XBL trial code for gold and that doesn’t even seem to be working.

      I’ve been trying to redeem DLC and it’s derping out.

      I need to download an App for Halo: MCC and can’t, this is WHY people didn’t want an always-online console, if you cannot get such basic functionality working all the time.

    You could probably watch the entire thing during how long it takes to find matchmaking matches. This game’s launch is an abject disaster. The lack of communication on what went wrong is even more of an issue.

    I haven’t played online yet as I’m going to go through the SP first. Sucks about the matchmaking but can you fathom at all of the networking involved to make something like this work? Sadly we aren’t in a time where the internet is 100% – 100% of the time, and things like this happen😦

    They are working on it so hopefully everything will get taken care of soon.

        Why, are you a bandwagon humper and not like the game because others told you to not like it? Or did you actually play the game and come to that conclusion? It wasn’t perfect but I enjoyed it

        i put a smiley at the end. but seriously that game is not good. i almost blindly bought it and glad i just rented. i literally finished it the same day and returned it. i had fun for 10 min and the other 4 hours was the same ol’ same. last boss kind of gave me trouble but other than that it was pure meh.

        i will say that it was better than the other game i was playing at the time which was Knack. i don’t think you could give a code away for that game.

        Sonic 2006 wasn’t perfect but I enjoyed it.
        Doesn’t mean it’s a good game and I’d also feel sorry if someone was given that game for free.
