This is a reblog from Halo Waypoint: 

By B is for Bravo –

Over the past few weeks, teams at 343 and Xbox have been putting the finishing touches on the upcoming show at the world famous San Diego Comic-Con. As I put together this update, many brave souls are already in sunny Southern California, preparing the Halo 5: Guardians booth, the all-new Breakout Arena, a couple of Halo panels, and more. Let’s talk about exactly what that more entails, because there’s lots. We’re coming for you, Comic-Con, and we can’t wait for the doors to open.

Halo Bulletin Episode 19

So around 3:40 this gets ridiculous… Say bro, it’s not ‘hor-hey” is George. That’s how you pronounce Jorge-058’s name. Honestly, you can skip everything between 3:40 to 6:00. Well, unless you like goofiness.

ISSUE 31

Salutations, story supporters! It’s great to have you back for another universal update. In case you missed it, last week we dove a little deeper into the Warzone wild, and pulled the curtain back a bit on the Warzone Boss experience. If you want to know a bit more about the fictional setting for these deadly simulations, give it a read. This week we’ve got couple of cool new encyclopedic entries in the Universe section, and we hear from the community on what some of your favorite Spartan armors are. Mind the gap, and let’s make the jump!

MIND IF WE BUG YOU?

This week, you’ll notice that one of our new articles is a formidable foe, the Scarab. The deadly diggers are a Halo fan favorite – and for good reason!

In case you’re wondering, the Scarab you see in Halo: Spartan Strike’s simulation just might be one of these rampaging machines that the Chief hadn’t gotten around to blowing up yet!

The following is a reblog from GameInformer:
by Wade Wojcik

The audio team at 343 Industries is putting an enormous amount of effort into the sound track of Halo 5: Guardians. They spent time recording the series’ iconic Gregorian monk chants in one of the best-known acoustic churches in Europe, and got shot at with real guns just to capture intense battle audio.

Audio director Sotaro Tojima and composer Kazuma Jinnouchi delve into the challenges of balancing the classic Bungie music with new material, and the many techniques that go into making the combat audio more immersive. Continue reading
