As I suspected, the rumor is false.

Shinobi has tweeted out that they never made the tweet that was screenshot.

Apparently the post from Frank O’Conner was taken from a different thread and was posted some time ago, not recently.

Darren O’Hare hasn’t posted on Twitter in some time.

So it appears ‘thefriendlyassassin’ isn’t so friendly. To start an outright lie like that is ridiculous and of course wrong.

For my part in reposting that, I apologize. I did say treat it as rumor. However, next time, when something like this happens, I”ll endeavor to research it a bit more to see if it’s true or not.

Folks, I’m not a professional reporter. I’m a Halo fan. So when I read news like this, I pass it on to you. Yes, I feel like one was pulled over on me (and you as well). I can tell you this much, I”ll never report something from the friendlyassassin again, no matter how credible it may seem.
