I’ve got tons of experience with Halo gaming and collecting. I feel I have something to offer to the greater Halo fan community.
Posts along the way will be about tips and tricks in the games as well as collecting and many more Halo related things. I’ll also repost interesting articles from the official site, Halowaypoint.com, or from fellow Halo fan sites.
As I continue this blog, I hope to help gamers who want advice on the games, as well as any collectors with regards to where to find collectibles as well as deals, coupons and so on.

Do you think the XBOX ONe was planned to be backwards compatible? Or did the failed launch of the Halo Master Chief collection spur Microsoft to make this happen?
The HMCC hasI just like to know which one it is only been out for six months. Do you think that’s enough time for the Xbox engineers to have developed backwards compatibility?
I am curious about this myself. I think either is plausible. I’d just like to know which one it is.
The reason why it could be because of the HMCC is that Microsoft didn’t want to have another title from the 360 failed to launch on the XBOX One.

Okay folks, you’ve waited long enough. Now we finally can talk about what is coming for Halo 5 Guardians.
First up, the campaign.
We already know about Blue Team and Fireteam Osiris.
We now see that not only will the fight be taken to Covenant worlds and that the Arbiter is at the forefront with that.
You will also be able to command your AI teammates. Have them lock on to an enemy or revive a fellow teammate, and MORE!
Not only have we already been introduced to the Promethean Soldier, we now know there are variants of them. A Promethean Captain will grace our crosshairs!
Looks as though we’re going to be able to board the massive 4,635ft tall Guardians themselves! Hmm, what wonders await us inside??
New game mode announced: War Zone!
Take a look:
24 PvP and versus AI?! WOW!!! With 4X the playable space than has been seen in other maps, this is going to be HUGE on all counts!!!
I’ll update this article as I get more info from E3.
UPDATE! There will be ‘bosses’ who will spawn in on War Zone matches. These could be Elite’s with Banshee’s, Hunters, Promethean Soliders and more. They are worth big points in War Zone.
There are a two main ways to win in War Zone. Either be the first team to get to 1000 points OR blow up the other team’s core.
So what we have here is a slayer AND objective based game, WITH Enemy AI as well. This is Everything in one package of multiplayer!
Now beyond this was a piece of news regarding how to get weapons and vehicles into the game. 343 is introducing a new thing called ‘Requisition Cards’. You earn these through the game. The more you earn, the better things you can request. So besides just weapons, you could potentially call in a Scorpion, if you have enough ‘Req’. There are also some items that are purely cosmetic. That wasn’t explained too much other than to say those cosmetic things would also carry over into regular matchmaking.
Over the past week, you’ve gotten brand-new glimpses at the Halo 5: Guardians story. You’ve read bits and pieces about new experiences that await. You’ve been brought inside studio walls to not only meet new characters, but also the developers who are bringing them to life. With the help of GameInformer, we’ve continued to show you what the team is spending long days, nights, and weekends building.
If you’ve been following the news and info drops each day, you’re undoubtedly asking questions – and likely hoping that the answers are just around the corner. In some cases, this is indeed true. E3 2015 is now less than three days away, and we’re quite excited for the week ahead. Let’s make sure you’re plugged in. Continue reading →

Before I start this review, I need to thank Bandai for being generous in sending me this set. This is a pre-production set, meaning, it’s one of the ones made before mass production begins. You can tell by the sticker in the upper right corner of the front of the box. I’m told that means ‘sample’ in Japanese.
Further thanks are due as I was told I am the first ‘press’ person to receive this set and noone will get it for roughly a month’s time. So this is the exclusive review that you can not find on any other site. (Please see statement at end of article).
Here are just some of the images that have been lifted from the information embargo that was placed. Be sure and bookmark this article as I’ll be adding more to it over the weekend!
Enjoy them FREE OF WATERMARKS. (other than343’s official watermark)
(Unlike other sites who cover up some of the official images with their marks on pics that are not theirs to begin with…)

This is a shot from ‘Fathom’ the underwater multiplayer map. As you can see, there is wildlife action going on, on the outside of the map. Continue reading →
Nearly three years have passed since 343 Industries released Halo 4, its first game in the Halo series after taking over for original developer Bungie. It was quite a debut. Halo 4 garnered the biggest day-one launch sales of any Halo game to date with $220 million in total. Later, Microsoft confirmed it as the best-selling Microsoft Studios title of all time in the United States. Critical reception was positive, with a Metacritic score of 87 calculated from nearly 90 outlets. However, the multiplayer population dwindled quickly, with traditional fans lamenting class loadouts and Ordnance drops. Continue reading →
Now that the embargo is lifted more and more info about Halo 5 Guradians is being revealed. One such piece of information is a new Promethean enemy. This one being a soldier.
