Watch Halo: The Master Chief Collection Developer Panel

Update:

343 and Certain Affinity have finished their panel at RTX. If you’re a Halo fanatic but weren’t able to catch the broadcast, these are the highlights:

• The Halo YouTube channel uploaded a new trailer (above) for the game featuring The Arbiter, voiced by actor Keith David.
• 343 announced that Coagulation will be one of the six remastered maps.
• In addition to returning multiplayer game types, Halo 2: Anniversary will add new modes like Ricochet (from Halo 4), Race (with “a huge number of game mode options”), SWAT, Infection, and others.
• The Mongoose vehicle is being upgraded with mounted guns to become the “Gungoose,” which should be a nice addition to the Mongoose capture the flag mode, especially on the remastered Coagulation map.
• Responding to a question from a fan, 343 said it has no plans to give Halo 3 the anniversary treatment at the moment.
