After you ship a game, it is a natural point for reflection for the development team. When you’re creating a game like Halo, which typically takes three years to produce, it is not just a reflection of the making of the game, but of the journey itself. Who were we when we started? Who are we now? What did we do right? What could we have done better? What promises did we make to the fans? What promises did we make to ourselves? Continue reading

BY B IS FOR BRAVO –
It’s a busy June morning in downtown Los Angeles. As expected, exit 20B on I-110 Southbound is an absolute mess, and as a sea of cameramen and camerawomen litter the streets – including the exit ramp itself – in an effort to get inside the Galen Center, host of the E3 2013 Xbox Media Briefing. bs angel, myself, and a small crew of 343’ers put up with the traffic for a bit, but eventually ditch our cab and join the on-foot procession down the exit ramp to attend the festivities as onlookers. We tuck ourselves into the nosebleeds of the USC arena with press and industry folk, the large majority of which aren’t aware that the first glimpse at the next Halo title will be shown within the next 90 minutes. You may have watched from home – and got the first look at what was then dubbed, both internally and externally, “Halo Xbox One.” Chief’s cloaked trek served as a confirmation that development of a Halo title for the Xbox One was indeed underway. When the Halo logo appeared on-screen, and the roar of fellow Halo fans erupted throughout the arena, I found myself with goosebumps, and I’d bet many of you did as well. Continue reading
According to Janina Gavankar, the voice of Fero, from Hunt the Truth, she may be releasing an unsactioned (or is it really sanctioned…) Hunt the Truth trailer???

Interesting…I can’t wait to find out what this is about?!
There are 69 original Spartan Company banners. I’ve downloaded each and offer them to you here. Feel free to download any/all of them if you wish. These are presented in thumbnail, so there is a lot more of the image to see! As always, click on them to make bigger.
When new ones are added, I’ll have a new post showing the new banners, with a link back to here so you can quickly get to the originals. Continue reading
There are 10 different controller configurations to choose from in Halo 5 Guardians. Which will you choose??
With the addition of Smart Link, Issue Orders, and Tracking, Halo 5 Guardians needed to have a robust menu of choices for controller configurations. Your favorites have returned of course. However, they have arms additional buttons to press due to the add-ons.
Let’s take a look at each config (click to make graphics bigger):
Default
Hmm, this one seems a little confusing for me. But I’m used to a couple other controller settings. Continue reading
Okay, so while there is a small countdown to Halo 5 here on HFFL, I found a link to this all too disturbing countdown starring 343’s own Frank O’Conner. Not that Frank is disturbing, but it’s how his fingers and hands are used to count down…
Here’s just a screenshot of it.
There are five images of which the first is seen above showing varying pics of Frankie and his fingers. Be sure to click through the rest of them. I particularly like the Fingerhawk…
Check out the countdown HERE.

We know you’re excited to finally get your hands on Halo 5: Guardians on October 27, and we wanted to make sure you’re ready to jump in right away. If you’ve digitally pre-ordered Halo 5: Guardians on your Xbox One before September 21 and are NOT using Instant On power mode, you may still have an incorrect “stub file” for the title, which is simply a placeholder file. Players that have this particular version of the stub file will be required to delete it, and reinstall the title. Continue reading
