You can unlock several different armors in the Halo 5 Guardians Beta. Any you unlock during the beta will be available to you when Halo 5 Guardians comes out later this year. (Via Kiki Wolfkill of 343)
Today, we’re going to look at the armor that has most been seen in the promos for thebeta/game. It’s called Athlon. Continue reading
In this week’s episode, you get a better look at two forge maps you can vote on for week three of the Halo 5 Guardians multiplayer beta (Orion and Pegasus respectively).
Man, the holidays just screwed up my schedule. I completely forgot to post this when the issue came out. Well, better late than never, I guess.
Halo Escalation 13 has been out since the last weeks of December. Below is the cover followed by the first few pages of the issue from Darkhorse. After that I’ll give my thoughts on the issue.
I just got word of this earlier today. Folks that have played the Halo 5 Beta are receiving artwork for having played. Two pieces of which are personalized.
Here is what I got: Continue reading
We all know that ONI in the Halo Universe stands for the “Office of Naval Intelligence”. However, did you know there is a much deeper meaning to ONI than just that acronym?
Well, it appears there is another forge map as well that we will get in the beta. Pegasus!
Inlike Red Bull which gives you wings, this map instead gives you plenty of opportunity for ground pounding as evidenced in the video.
Again, the textures are simple and again, I’m fine with that. It makes the map look CLEAN, which I like. One thing to note is the cylinders on the map. While we’ve had round objects in the past, they have been few and far between. Looks like 343 is taking a step in the direction and that can only be a good thing for Halo forgers like myself.
This vid also comes from IGN, via 343: Continue reading
I had the pleasure to meet Kevin back at New York Toy Fair 2012. Even played a few games of Halo 4 with him. Seems he’s made the Forbes list of 30 under 30.
Below is a screenshot of his entry on the list. You can see the full article HERE.
Thanks to HFFL reader ‘Chad’ for giving me the link to this.

Hmm, we got a clue in the Orion arm form Halo Startscope. I wonder if this is a tie-in due to the name of the map?
Regardless, check out this vid that was posted on IGN. This looks like a great forge map. I can’t wait to get my virtual hands on it!
If I’m not mistaken, we’ll see this map in the third week of the beta. If I am mistaken, well, darn then. LOL

Halostarscope.com has been in the Halo community news lately with the cryptic message given via XBOX’s twitter account. Now it seems there are two Halo 2 Anniversary wallpapers you can get from the site.
My friend and fellow Halo enthusiast, ‘PensHalo‘ found two of them. No word on if there are more than these. I did try to find more and didn’t find any others.
These two screen and mobile wallpapers feature a Halo ring along with the Arbiter and Master Chief in the Halo 2 Anniversary graphics. Feel free to download both! Continue reading
