It’s 5:35 a.m. on Monday, June 9, and once again, instead of hitting the snooze button and/or throwing my phone out of my hotel room window, I jump out of bed after hearing my alarm because today just happens to be another exciting day, and one worthy of an early-morning wake up call. Back home, our community, web, and services teams (to name just a few) are hard at work preparing for the announcements that will soon be made at E3. In downtown Los Angeles, I meet up with the away team in an already buzzing hotel lobby. We’ve been in dress rehearsals since Friday, and this morning we will be on a stage for all the world to see. We cram into a car, and we’re off.

We are on the way. Frankie is not in the trunk. That is not his knee sticking up.

After a few hours of waiting, tech checks, and makeup (mainly for me), we are a few minutes away from the start of the Xbox Media Briefing. Several members of the team hang outside with Halo fans just before the doors open. Inside, the dressing room houses about ten 343'ers, and at the start of the show, everyone except Dan, Bonnie, Eric, Mason, and myself heads into the show to take their seats. The five of us hang behind, anxiously watching the show on a small TV as we wait to take our positions for Halo's portion of the presentation. With each trailer and round of applause, we get closer and closer to announcing what's coming this year and beyond for Halo. Yup, we're excited.

Last minute shenanigans before showtime.

With a few minutes to go, we're called into our places, and catch the last few moments of the Fable Legends demo. Excitement shoots through me, and just as the iconic music begins, I check Twitter, and it is indeed blowing up. We head out to the stage to show off Halo: The Master Chief Collection and Halo 2: Anniversary for the first time.

The world's first look at Ascension in Halo 2: Anniversary.

I wrote a bit about how honored and humbled we were to be a part of this announcement in the first E3 blog post last week, and we couldn't be more excited about this project and the journey that lies ahead, and we're glad to hear that many of you are excited as well.


Immediately following the Xbox Media Briefing, and each day since, we've been flooded with tons of questions regarding Halo: The Master Chief Collection and more. So this week, I took to the forums to answer a bunch. Check 'em out below!
