New details have come to light about Call of Duty’s rumored crossover with Halo that never materialized. TheGhostOfHope, who is a reliable source of unannounced Call of Duty information, said Sledgehammer Games was planning a “huge” collaboration with Halo for 2023’s Modern Warfare III. This would have included “various maps” from Halo coming to Call of Duty as multiplayer maps.
After Microsoft bought Activision, many began to theorize that Master Chief would inevitably come to Call of Duty as a playable character. He never has, and many are wondering why. In 2024, it was reported that the supposed collaboration was “scrapped” for “completely unknown reasons.” Social media user Alaix says they have screenshots from the collaboration but hasn’t released them.

Before this, Microsoft’s Fallout franchise crossed over into Call of Duty, so there was some precedent. Outside of this, Master Chief came to Fortnite years ago.
In other Halo news, the team working on the franchise is now known as Halo Studios. Multiple new games are in the works and they will be made using Unreal Engine 5. For more, check out everything we know about the future of the Halo series.
As for Call of Duty, Black Ops 6’s new Season 2 update arrives today, January 28, ushering in new maps, modes, guns, characters, store bundles, and more.
Rumors have been swirling for months about a potential collaboration between two gaming giants, Halo and Call of Duty. Fans have been eagerly awaiting any news about what this partnership could entail, and now, some painful new details have emerged.
According to insider sources, the collaboration will involve a crossover event where players from both franchises will be able to compete against each other in a special game mode. However, in a surprising twist, it has been revealed that the game mode will involve players using only melee weapons, such as energy swords and combat knives.
This news has left many fans feeling disappointed, as they were hoping for a more traditional multiplayer experience that would allow them to use their favorite guns and equipment from both franchises. The decision to focus solely on melee combat has sparked backlash on social media, with many expressing their frustration and calling for a more balanced and exciting gameplay experience.
Despite the mixed reaction, both Halo and Call of Duty developers have remained tight-lipped about the collaboration, leaving fans wondering what other surprises may be in store. Will this unique game mode be a hit with players, or will it fall flat? Only time will tell, but one thing is for sure – this collaboration is shaping up to be one of the most talked-about events in gaming history. Stay tuned for more updates as we get closer to the official release date.
