Halo: Community Update – March Madness

The Halo World Championship has come to a close in a thrilling conclusion this past weekend, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t plenty of things to recap. OpTic Gaming took the championship title and a stunning Legendary Emblem trophy last Sunday with a 4-0 score. The Halo Championship REQ Pack also returned this time around with the Athlon Champion armour set, and plenty of skins. Morgan Kinsano recently released with a host of new fire-based units, and has proven resourceful in the Halo Wars 2 sandbox. She’s available right now for Season Pass holders and separately as well, and Halo Wars players can expect the next leader sometime in April.
