By GrimBrother One –

ISSUE 22

Welcome back, canonheads. Last week we were all over the content map talking about new, revamped, and upcoming features in the Universe section of Halo Waypoint and the Halo Channel, as well as Canon Fodder itself. This week will be a bit lighter as we are all at once coming down off the craziness that was the Great Puzzle Hunt of 2015, as well as being ridiculously heads-down working on a host of exciting secret goodies as we hurtle towards E3 this summer. Combined with the release of Halo: Hunters in the Dark by Peter David, June will be an exciting month to be a Halo fan, I can tell you that much.

And with that, let’s dive in.

Halo Community Update 5.1.15

This is a reblog from Halo Waypoint:

By B is for Bravo –

Over the past few weeks, the sun has slowly began to make its way back over to the greater Seattle area, indicating that things like summer, sunshine, and warm-weather expeditions are all on the way. One particular annual warm-weather journey is that of E3, and I do believe many of us are already on board a variety of fast-moving hype trains, most of which are not equipped with brakes. The warmer weather and early morning sunshine have also provided me with an opportunity to catch up on the Hunt The Truth podcast each Monday morning on my walk to work, which has been an incredibly appropriate and therapeutic start to the work week. Also, I know many Waypointers can relate when I say that each episode feels far too brief, and has left me wanting more each week. Rather than listening to the episodes early, or sneaking a peek at the review copies of the script in my inbox, I’ve listened with you, and found that the story has me diving head first back into the story of our beloved hero, much in part due to my good friend Grim’s Canon Fodder blog, which highlights characters and storylines that have collided with Ben Giraud each week. Whether you’re a master of the universe, or haven’t yet sunk your teeth into the various campaigns, books, or comics, Hunt The Truth is a quick, episodic, super-accessible-mobile-friendly way to not only learn about pivotal discoveries in the history of The Master Chief, but also to prepare for what’s to come in Halo 5: Guardians.

Josh Holmes of 343 answers Halo 5 questions!

Posted on by

Yesterday was a bonanza if you were looking for some answers about Halo 5.

Josh Holmes, 343’s studio head for Halo 5 Guardians, took to twitter and answered several fan questions about Halo 5 Guardians. Below are those questions and answers:

Screen Shot 2015-04-28 at 6.03.14 AMI’m actually a little bummed about this. I liked how ODST’s campaign was. But it’s certainly not a deal breaker. After all, the previous campaigns with Chief have all been linear. Continue reading →

HUNTtheTRUTH: Was one of the answers there all along?

Posted on by

Whether 343 intended to or not, at least ONE of the answers that we as listeners to the HUNTtheTRUTH series was there all along and we didn’t see it. UNTIL NOW!

I had this epiphany during the middle of the night. Follow along with the graphic I compiled below.

HtT Revealed FIN hfflHere is the original HUNTtheTRUTH logo unaltered.

 

 

 

 

 

 

If we highlight (in RED) the same letters that appear in each word and only ONE of each…

 

 

 

And take them away….

 

 

 

 

 

You are left with these letters……

 

 

 

 

 

Unscramble them and we get this!

So the answers Ben was seeking from the people ONI supplied to talk to him with were untrue.

 

It was there all along!!!

HUNTtheTRUTH banner

HFFL read Dave sent me the following text he found on a gaming web site:

To possibly get your voice in the Hunt the Truth episodes do these steps.

Choose a character:
1. People who support Ben in his hunt.
2. The people who LOVE Master Chief and don’t appreciate Ben poking around.
3. People reveling in the anarchy.

Upload a 15-20 second voice recording to YouTube.
Set it as “Unlisted”.
Submit the video at http://huntthetruth.tumblr.com/submit

I know I plan on submitting a clip. Would LOVE to be picked for this!!

So might you folks submit something for this? If so, which character would you choose and why? Reply below or e-mail me at slashalofanforlife.com
