For the last two decades, Halo has been one of the most iconic video game franchises ever released. Serving as Xbox’s flagship series since the launch of the original Xbox console, Halo has influenced many aspects of gaming culture and has impacted several members of the gaming community in unique ways. To the point where one fan even managed to create an electric guitar designed after one of the most recognizable weapons in the Halo series.
A large part of what makes Halo such a memorable experience for so many players is the large variety of weapons and vehicles at the player’s disposal. From assault rifles, to plasma pistols, to the needler, there are several weapons with their own distinct visual design in Halo for the player to choose from. However, one of the most powerful melee weapons in the series has been transformed into an electric guitar.
An Instagram user named Kevin Nathan made a tribute to Halo in the form of an electric guitar in the shape of an energy sword. Not only does it look exactly like how the swords look in-game, but it also glows a light blue color in the dark. The fact that the guitar is actually functional makes this one of the most eye-catching fan creations in terms of the Halo series.
It’s impressive just how creative fans can get when it comes to subjects that they are passionate about, and Halo is no exception to this. In addition to this energy sword guitar, a different fan crafted a homemade Halo ring that they meticulously painted. The sheer volume of fan made Halo content that’s shared online for others to admire is spectacularly large, to say the least.
In any case, it’s amazing to see how much Halo has continued to influence the gaming community, despite the age of the franchise. Halo Infinite has found an incredible amount of success since its release last year. Although, many fans are still wondering when they can expect to see some previously discussed additional content.
A significant number of fans are looking forward to the release of Forge mode within Halo Infinite. Seeing as Halo’s fan community has developed entire, unofficial multiplayer modes, thanks to the addition of Forge mode, it will be interesting to see how 343 Industries changes up the formula of Forge mode in Halo Infinite, compared to how the mode worked in previous installments in the Halo series.
