Only a few weeks to go until RTX in Austin (July 7-9).
I see there’s a Halo panel listed on the schedule for Saturday, but no details. In the grand scheme of things, it’s a minor conference, so I don’t anticipate any big announcements.
Any word what they’ll be covering (Firefight for Halo Wars 2, etc.)?
The new Halo Wars 2 DLC would be the obvious thing they’ll be doing there. Nothing really big expect untill next year.
Hoping they mention some news at either RTX, Gamescom, or PAX West about a big Halo 5 content drop.

Halo 5 is starting to get stale to an extent; a refresher would really be appreciated.

> Thanks ske7ch! The month of June has certainly flown by, and July is quite literally hot on its heels. You know what else is hot? No, not that, I’m talking about Austin, TX. Fortunately, the Texas summer heat is where all the coolest kids will be when the ever-epic RTX convention opens its homegrown doors July 7-9. Plus, we’ll be there too!

> We’re extremely excited to partner with our friends from Loot Crate to create an awesome Halo-infused fan experience that includes Texas-sized table full of hilarious fun and sweat-inducing action. Here’s a sample of what’s on the meaty menu…

> • On Saturday, July 7, at 11 AM in meeting room 9, 343 will be hosting a Halo panel with some very special guests: Burnie Burns, co-founder of RoosterTeeth; Joseph Staten – Senior Creative Director, Microsoft Studios (and former Halo series director); Frank O’Connor – Franchise Director, 343 Industries, Tom French, Multiplayer Director, 343 Industries, and a few other folks from 343 and the Halo community. We’ve got some cool things to talk about set against the backdrop of fan-fueled hilarity as we host the very first edition of the Halo Match Game. We’ll laugh, we’ll cry, we’ll dodge dangerous questions. It’s gonna be awesome. Best of all, we’ll be pulling fans from the audience to join us on stage to compete for fabulous prizes.

This year, our beloved ske7ch will be joining yours truly to host a fun-filled sequel. Join us at the RTX main stage from 2:30-3:30 on Saturday, July 8 for your chance to join us!

Come on, don’t act like you wouldn’t just love lighting some of us up with a Needler – we read the forums. We’ll also have plenty of prizes to reward expert marksmanship.

> • Straight from the E3 show floor to the hallowed halls of RTX, we’ll have the freshly-announced Terminus Firefight mode playable, included with this fall’s Halo Wars 2: Awakening the Nightmare expansion.

> • More Halo hands-on goodness! Stop by, play Halo and maybe even win a prize.

> • A whole lotta loot! An epic array of awesome Halo and Loot Crate products to purchase and procure, so be sure you grab one of those 64-cubic-foot-volume anime-covered bags they always give out on the show floor to haul your haul around the hall in.

> So yeah, needless to say, we’re stoked like the fires of a good BBQ at the prospect of getting to spend some quality time celebrating a common passion for Halo with you fine folks in a few weeks – hope to see you there!
