Playing Halo games will unlock rewards in Halo Channel, 343 Industries has said.
While the team has previously confirmed that watching content in the channel will unlock content in The Master Chief Collection and the Halo 5: Guardians beta, profile progress will also unlock content in the app, similar to Xbox 360's Halo Waypoint.
"In theory, it will [work that way round]," executive producer Kiki Wolfkill told Digital Spy.
"We've been focused on one direction, because of the development on the channel, but yes, we want to make content available on the channel via your game activities."
Wolfkill said the service will be an "evolution" of what players experienced in Halo Waypoint, with a bigger entertainment focus and content shared across Xbox One, Windows 8 and Windows Phone.
"I think a lot of the things we're doing now on the channel we've wanted to do with Waypoint, and the technology of Xbox One lets us do it in a much smoother way," Wolfkill said.
343 Industries announced today that they are bringing the Halo Channel app, the companion/community app for all things Halo, to iOS and Android.
I love insight into the development teams,(really enjoy Ninty's Directs), cool to see the pride in their craft!
Poor BlackBerry :(
Nice I use the Halo Channel on my xbox all the time! Hopefully it'll be more user friendly
Halo channel has gotten no play since that nasty Halo MCC launch. I just never got back into it :(
Did you guys hear about the new warzone map that was announced? It's a multiplayer map of goddamn SILENT CARTOGRAPHER!!! http://www.gamespot.com/art...
Halo: The Master Chief Collection has officially dropped letting Halo fans the world over play all over games in the series on one disk. Alongside that disk every owner received a download code for a new project that 343 studios and Microsoft are starting called the Halo Channel. A new app that is meant to tie everything Halo related together in one place.
I downloaded the digital version of the Master Chief Collection and tried to run the first episode of Nightfall before and after downloading the halo channel app.
Each time I try to queue it up or just click to watch it keeps telling me to purchase halo mcc.
Anyone else having this problem?
That sounds really strange. Maybe perform a hard reset on your Xbox. If that doesn't work, confirm in your bank (or Microsoft) account that you have been charged for the purchase. If you have, then call Microsoft, and they'll sort it out pretty quickly.
@Naga
He wont be charged because its free. But yeah, he should prolly do a hard reset.
definitely paid for as I have been playing the master chief collection, downloaded it a few days before release. Strange.
Oh, gotcha. I didn't realize the MCC was fully functional on your end. That's super weird.
not at all, relly interesting actually. always good to know the origins of a character
Yeah. I didn't find it to be as compelling as, say, the first episode of Forward Unto Dawn, but I did find it intriguing (especially some of the Second Scene clips). Hopefully, they're going to build on this foundation and tell really a compelling story.
Because while it's a decent starting point, we really need the next couple of episodes to kick it into another gear. It will have to if it's going to do justice to it's Halo namesake.
I like the app alot.. Looking forward to seeing what they continue to do with it
Love the app, and watched the 1st episode last night, and was quite pleased. The app itself is great... Game on.
Microsoft has officially released the Halo Channel app for Xbox One yesterday just ahead of the launch for Halo: The Master Chief Collection. This is an all stop-shop for everything Halo, whether it be community content, original programming such as Halo: Forward Unto Dawn or Halo: Nightfall, and even discovering the Halo Universe through the Halo Encyclopaedia.
