All made possible by my loving wife who understands my fanaticism with collecting…

Welcome back, friends. Since we last spoke, the Warzone Firefight release has reached your consoles, we’ve traveled to the heart of Texas, and we’re now back in the studio preparing for what’s next. Perhaps the “what’s next” list may be of great interest to you.
This week, the Warzone team pushed out an update to fix the “back button” scoreboard and PGCR (post game carnage report) sorting, and they’re also hard at work on further updates to Warzone Firefight. As we speak, teams are looking at all of the data and feedback you’ve generated so far, and evaluating as they work towards future updates for the mode. While we don’t have a final ETA just yet, you can rest assured that work is well underway, and that you’ll be hearing about more details soon. Oh, and fixes for Tidal lighting are being worked on, too.
HFFL: Oh good, regarding Tidal. It takes an inordinate amount of time to bake lighting. If you are going to forge on Tidal, I HIGHLY suggest SAVING your game before baking lighting. The game can lag out before doing so. It’s happened to me and a few others I know of.
We’ve been thrilled about the incredible amount of new players who jumped into Halo 5 during the free play period, and hope many of you stick around (one of us! one of us!). As we mentioned last night, we’ve also been ecstatic to see the number of monthly Halo 5 players increasing month over month over the past few months. This is pretty special to see, and I’m looking forward to plenty more gaming with you this summer. Speaking of, we’ve seen many inquiries about what’s to come for Halo 5. We’re glad you’re asking. While you won’t be seeing updates every month moving forward, nor updates the size of the Warzone Firefight release, we’re happy to let you know that there’s still more on the way. Things we have yet to talk about or discuss. Things that I have seen, and I think you will like. These and more are in the works, so in short, there is indeed more to come. Rest easy.
HFFL: Cool. Glad to know there is more on the way. We’ve gotten plenty already. More than enough, IMO. SO anything from this point forward is a huge heap of icing on the cake, so-to-speak.
Next up, let’s catch up on a few different topics, starting with RTX and the cool things we brought there. Grim’s got the details.

ISSUE 81
One of the sweet little surprises that awaited players diving into Halo 5: Guardians for the most recent release was the (re)appearance of a well-known Sangheili warlord. There were no doubt plenty of surprised lore aficionados when Jul ‘Mdama’s name was called out for the first time in Warzone within the Attack on Sanctum scenario, as the challenging Boss he is. While this is the first time players have had the opportunity to tackle the resurgent Covenant leader in-game, it’s certainly not the first time he’s left his mark on Halo hearts. Jul first appeared in Karen Traviss’ Halo: Glasslands and would go on to feature prominently in her Kilo-5 trilogy, revealing the ugly underbelly of interspecies post-war politics. Continue reading
Mega Bloks has done it again. Another fun thrilling mini-sized adventure. This time with their Halo Heroes Spartan Vale figure!
Okay, now I don’t know about you folks, but I SERIOUSLY want that mini-Spirit! I hope Mega Bloks makes that as a set too!!!
That looks phenomenal! Lots of pieces. Might be 200 there. That would be a $20 and I’d TOTALLY buy it for that price!
This is a reblog from Halo Waypoint:
Today, we’re launching a new Assault Preview playlist that will allow players to get a look at some of the updates that the multiplayer team has been working on. To get you the details, we hand things over to the multiplayer team:
When we launched Assault with the Hammer Storm release back in February, it was received well by players as it was chaotic and a change of pace from Capture the Flag and Strongholds. Over time, we saw some feedback around the feeling of fairness and scoring, and have been working to make updates to improve the mode. Continue reading
Before we get started, I want to make expressly clear that I do not give permission to anyone other than 343 or Creative Assembly to repost this article. You may however, link to this article without posting any portion of the article, with exception to the title of the article itself as it is used exactly here. Please respect that.
HFFL: Hello, YoungBerk, thanks for agreeing to do this interview.
YB: Hello
HFFL: Tell us a little about yourself.
YB: First, I’m 21 years old and from Berkeley CA. I’m currently a student at UC Berkeley in my sophomore year studying media studies.
HFFL: Great school! Continue reading
I’ve been playing so much Warzone Firefight and Forging that I’ve not posted on the blog for almost a week…apologies…
At any rate, Firefight has been such a grand time. If you haven’t played it, you NEED to. If you’ve only played a little, get back in there and shoot up some Covies and Prometheans!
I’ll get some articles out later today (Thursday).
I have planned a fan interview, some Halo Mega Bloks news, and of course Halo 5 news.
Thanks for sticking with me folks. It continues to be my honor to bring you news from around the Haloverse/Domain!
My friend, Keith Muelas makes Halo masks. When I saw he was in need of funds and was selling DIdact masks, I knew I had to help him out and post an article here!
I make all of my Didact Helmets. They are made out of Smooth Cast 320 which is a two-part urethan resin plastic. Raw castings are $80 shipped, while Complete Castings are $200 shipped.
Raw Castings will need to be cleaned up, sanded, painted, and have visors installed. They are simply just raw castings straight out of the mold.
Complete castings are padded on the inside, ready to wear as soon as it is received.
I have them available for purchase on Etsy here: https://www.etsy.com/shop/bighungry2xprops
However, they are at an increased price due to the Etsy fees. If anyone is looking to take advantage of the lower cost point, I take payments through Paypal and can be contacted at keith.muelas@comcast.net.

These are works of art folks. That I know of, there isn’t an official license Didact helmet out there. This is the closest you’re going to come to one and they are beautiful! Help yourself and Keith out by getting one. And of course, let me know if you do. I’d be happy to share pics of you with yours on the blog.
Okay, so technically, it was yesterday, but you can still order. I’d have posted this sooner. However, I was playing a ton of Firefight and working on a HUGE BTB map. So my attention was elsewhere yesterday, though related.

So Warzone Firefight finally dropped yesterday. It’s a whopping 7GB download. For me it downloaded pretty quick.
I had a minor glitch in that I couldn’t choose the WASP. I had to restart my XBOX One to get it to work. (SO do that if it doesn’t work for you)
Anyway, as soon as this dropped, I immediately got into Firefight. Now at first the REQs weren’t available. It took about an hour or two. Once they were there to get though, I bought them all. I had saved up more than 500K REQ Points. So I was set. Continue reading
