PS4 System Software Update 2.01 Released, Rest Mode Fixed November 5, 2014

A highly anticipated system update for the Playstation 4 was just released. Version 2.01 includes all of the new features brought in by 2.00, but promises fixes a serious issue the PS4 was having with Rest Mode.

The software’s official documentation merely mentions that the new system software “improves system stability” but users that were having issues with the PS4 while it was in Rest Mode say the problem appears to have been addressed.

The new system update is not currently required to use the Playstation Network but if you happen to have version 2.00 installed on your PS4 I would recommend updating it immediately anyways.

Halo 2: Remaking the Legend Documentary Officially Released on YouTube November 3, 2014

The documentary that I can’t possibly give enough positive press to has just been officially released on YouTube, and now people who don’t have access to Xbox Video or missed any of the Twitch Broadcasts can finally watch it. Produced by Microsoft and 343 Industries, Halo 2: Remaking the Legend is an hour long documentary detailing the phenomenon that was Halo 2‘s development, launch, and upcoming remake for the Xbox One. It has key interviews from former Bungie employees, current 343 staff, and a lot of Halo super fans. Give it a watch below!

If you aren’t a fan of YouTube or prefer other ways to watch, the documentary is still up for free purchase on the Xbox Video store if you prefer to watch it on your Xbox 360 or stream it on your Xbox One. It is also expected to come out on the Halo Channel on November 11th, 2014, although we have not seen an exact word on when we can expect the Halo Channel video service to launch.

Mountain Dew Game Fuel Has Returned November 3, 2014

Grocery shoppers interested in picking up sugary sodas to help them through long gaming sessions can rejoice as Mountain Dew Game Fuel has returned just in time for the launch of the latest Call of Duty game!

Mountain Dew has had a long history of doing promotions with Microsoft going back as far as the days of the original Xbox. In 2007 to celebrate the incredible launch of Halo 3, Mountain Dew created a specific flavor just for gaming, Game Fuel. While its release was a limited promotion, it would return every once in a while (typically around November), to promote a new game or gaming milestone, like World of Warcraft or the Xbox One launch. This time it’s back to promote the launch of Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare and is promising a major Xbox One giveaway contest.

I’ve personally never had Game Fuel when it first hit shelves, but a friend of my sister, who was an enormous fan of Mountain Dew Code Red, told me she enjoyed Game Fuel just fine.

I’m really happy to see the soda back on shelves over here this year. Expect more Game Fuel content on the site soon!

Halo 5 Multiplayer Armor Unlocks in Halo: The Master Chief Collection November 2, 2014

IGN has reported that there will be some special bonuses in the form of exclusive unlockable multiplayer armor in Halo 5 for players who purchase Halo: The Master Chief Collection when it launches later this month.

The armor unlocks are tied into earning some specific achievements in Halo: The Master Chief Collection and watching episodes of the upcomming Halo: Nightfall series. Some of these achievements can be gotten from any of the games included in The Master Chief Collection, some are game specific, and some are tied into the Halo: Nightfall series. If you want to know all the details, check them out below.

And don’t forget, you should be able to wear these exclusive armor permutations in the Halo 5 multiplayer beta this Holiday.

MARK VI [GEN1] Armor – To unlock this armor you must earn the “Your Journey Begins” achievement: 5G – Play your first campaign or multiplayer mission.

This looks like it will be a very easy achievement to obtain as it can be achieved on any level or multiplayer map. This will likely be most players’ first achievement.

MARK VI [GEN1] Scarred Armor – To unlock this armor you must earn the “Cairo Stations” achievement: 10G – Complete the Cairo Station Level in Halo 2.

This is the first level of Halo 2, and it should unlock at any difficulty. Play this level first and you should have it unlocked pretty quickly.

HELIOSKRILL Armor – To earn this armor and helmet you must unlock the “Legend” achievement: 50G – Beat all of the Halo games on Legendary Difficultly.

This by far will be the most difficult armor to unlock. Fortunately there don’t seem to be any requirements to beat the levels by yourself to earn this achievement. My advice would be to try to link up with friends and tackle each mission in cooperative mode. It will take a while but it should be possible. I just hope that 343 won’t require a checkpoint reset if your cooperative partner dies when playing Halo 2 on Legendary difficultly.

NIGHTFALL Armor – This armor unlocks in two pieces. To unlock the helmet, watch the second story from the first episode. To unlock the rest of the armor, you need to watch all the episodes of Halo: Nightfall.

This could arguably be the easiest armor to unlock as it only requires you to passively watch the Halo: Nightfall series, but it could be a very time consuming one. We don’t know how long this series is going to be yet. We also don’t know if we’ll be able to watch all of Nightfall’s episodes at launch. According to some information that Microsoft included in the Xbox Store, the Halo: Nightfall series is going to be streamed, and new episodes will be added to the stream on a regular basis. It could be different for retail customers, but Microsoft has not been very clear on the Halo: Nightfall schedule and, like Halo 4‘s Spartan Ops missions, we might have to wait a few weeks after the game’s launch before all the episodes are released.

Also, what the heck does “second story” mean? Are they going to pull a BMW Films and tie each separate episode together by including small postscript films for each episode which tie into a viral marketing campaign or do they just mean the second part of the episode? I’ll keep you guys posted on that.

Halo: The Master Chief Collection is coming November 11, 2014 exclusively to the Xbox One. Halo 5 is coming next year exclusively to the Xbox One.
