Halo: Outpost Discovery – The Foundations and Pillars of the Halo Community – Chicago 2019

Posted on August 25, 2019 by Dust Storm

The halo community would not exist if it were not for some of the earliest community foundations established back in the Bungie era of Halo. Since the beginning of the Halo franchise, that community has grown and evolved into many different varieties and diversities of interest matching Halo’s constant growth in experiences and universe. Get an inside perspective from community influencers who have experienced the growth of the greater halo community and more importantly, how the community and now 343 Industries have a mutual support structure that makes the community continue to thrive.
