Awesome Halo

Merry Christmas, Master Chief: Microsoft has dropped a grunt-astic amount of info on Halo Wars, with detailed UNSC and Covenant descriptions, artwork and in-game screenshots.

Though we’ve seen Master Chief figs in the past, this Halo 3 Legendary Collection statue is our favorite, if only for the inclusion of infection form Floods cleverly “levitated” from the base.

This Halo Wars Limited Collector’s Edition might justify a little February splurge; it comes with a graphic novel, three maps, Spirit of Fire patch and six leader cards.

Available 11/25, Halo: The Cole Protocol is the sixth Halo novel; it’s written by Nebula Award-winning author Tobias S. Buckell and reveals the location of the missing Spartan Gray Team.

Although this trailer starts off the same as the Halo 3 Recon teaser we ran earlier, this longer version shows a Spartan hiding from Covenant forces; the expansion won’t be out until Fall ’09.

Although light on action, this latest cinematic trailer for Halo Wars explores a bit of the backstory to the game; it’s set at Harvest, approximately 20 years before Halo: Combat Evolved.

After a cryptic countdown, Bungie revealed the teaser above for Halo 3: Keep It Clean; looming over a futuristic city suffering a disaster, it’s an expansion pack for Halo’s campaign mode.

Take on the Flood with your own personal army of 2.5″ Kubrick-style Halo figures from Medicom. This second series includes three Spartans, Master Chief and plenty of weapons.
