Haloย was born on November 15, 2001, and itย is hard to believe the series, along with the first
After reeling in millions of fans and even more millions of dollarsย over the years,ย from all around the world,ย the series is still going strong and has earned the title asย one of the most successful franchises in video game history. If fifteen yearsย wasn’tย enough already, inย a new tribute video released by Halo’sย developer, 343 Industries, the series’ famed protagonist,ย Master Chief, declares that “we’re just getting started”.
In a heartfelt tribute to the long-running franchise, the team of 343 Industries shared many of their favoriteย memories from the series over the years. Whether it wasย John and Cortana’s last moments together inย Halo 4,ย giving major recognitionย to the game changer that wasย Combat Evolved, or simply being gracious to the large fanbase of playersย who care so deeply about the games, it is clear thatย Haloย has left (and will continue to leave) a lasting impact on those who playย it and those who have helped bring the games to life.
Of course, it wouldn’t be a birthday party without the presents, as the longevity of the franchise would not be possible without the unrelenting support of the fans. Therefore, asย a special token of thanks and appreciation for fifteen years of support, players can log intoย Halo 5ย anytime between now and November 22, 2016 to claim their anniversary REQ Pack, which includes:
- Mark IV Armor and Helmet
- 4 SPNKRs
- 4 CE Magnums
- 4 Halo 2 Beam Rifles
Also, you may want to get your wallets ready for a jumpstart on the holiday sales, eitherย for yourself or for theย fan in your life. Theย Halo Gear Store’s 15th Anniversary Saleย is going from now until November 30, and all purchases are 15% with free shipping.
Ifย fans wereย concerned that series wasย slowing down at all, or perhaps thinking it isn’t the huge franchise it used to be, the celebration video is here to prove you wrong. 343 and Microsoft have made it clear the best is yet to come, and that this long-running series still has a bright future.ย Happy birthday, Halo!
