Just a few days ago, http://visualizer.halowaypoint.com showed Chief’s helmet (as bits and pieces of messages. Now the image has changed to that of Locke’s helmet.

Okay, I’ve got to say this now to get it out of my head. I’m really starting to hate this character. Yes, I know, he’s following orders. But it’s not just the character. It’s that 343 is basically shoving the character down our throats.

Sorry, but NO Spartan is equal to Chief. Even the rest of Blue team didn’t accomplish as much as Chief has. And we’re supposed to take to this joker who JUST BECAME a Spartan???

It’s going to take a LOT for me to like him. The whole hunting down Chief thing is already a huge knock to him. The way his character was introduced in Nightfall…ugh, just didn’t do it for me. Colter’s acting of the character was robotic, IMO.

So now, Chief’s helmet is removed and replaced with Locke’s. Ugh…let it be the 27th already so we can get away from all of this Locke advertising. PLEASE…

At any rate, follow the link above and leave a message!

Oh…and if you want to see Chief’s helmet in this, go to the line at the bottom of the page linked above. Slide a little left of the October 2 date. Locke’s helmet will change back to Chief’s!

I knew it! Okay, so the chances of Chief really being dead weren’t quite big. But still…

This video had been leaked earlier in the day. I’m assuming that Microsoft/XBOX/343 was frustrated by that leak and by the time they got to it, it’s had been seen by many.

So they’ve officially released it.

BTW, this is likely the cid they were going to show during ‘Fear the Walking Dead’ this Sunday. They still will, in al likelihood.

The following is a reblog from Halo Waypoint: 

A few weeks ago, we blew the lid off the REQ System, breaking down how everything in the system works. We also revealed a small group of REQ cards that you’ll be able to unlock when Halo 5 releases. Today, we’re revealing even more REQs that you just might be lucky enough to unlock in a REQ pack. Many of the REQ cards available, such as the Oathsworn below, have a history deeply rooted in the Halo Universe. When wielding one of these weapons in Warzone, you’ll undoubtedly feel its power and understand its history. Continue reading →

Well, it seems ONI is capable of making mistakes.

Here’s a letter from Commander Michael ‘Sully’ Sullivan to Admiral Osman explaining the error and the correction to it.

ONI’s swift decisions for failures are nothing short of amazing. That Sully sure turned out to be a grade-‘A’ arse.

Amazon revealed the songlist for Halo 5’s OST. Two discs containing a total of 39 tracks between them with 24 on disc 1 and 15 on disc 2. Below is the Soundtrack’s artwork and the list of songs. The list below links you to a 30-second sample of each song.

With those words, it was proclaimed that on the date October 27 2560, the Master Chief has died.

Walk with me, as I explore a possible Halo without Master Chief…and with him still in the fight!

First….that date if true is 2 years removed from the timeline of Halo 5 Guardians, which is 2558. In fact, Halo 5 is just 6 months after Halo 4. I’ve heard that the date was meant to be 2558. I find that a HUGE error if the video proclaims 2560, when it’s 2558. Doubtful 343 would make that kind of mistake, at this point in the game. (Pun intended) Continue reading →

This is a reblog from bestgamerever.co.uk:

We sit down with Josh Holmes from 343 Industries and ask him to answer some questions from the Halo community.

Halo 5: Guardians is less than a month away, and in spite of the approaching launch, Josh Holmes has taken some time out of his schedule to answer some questions from our community of Halo fanatics. Originally we had quite a lot more submitted, but I’ve narrowed it down to the best ones, as well as culling the ones that we know may not have an answer available until much closer to launch. He’s a busy man after all, and we don’t want to waste his time.

Without further ado, let’s see what Josh has to say:

BGE: We’ve seen Team Slayer and CTF get some love in Arena – will other Halo  gametypes make their way to a hardcore setting? Double Team or Assault for example?

Man, I can’t wait to see more episodes of this. Halo 5 is getting SO close now!!!

The following is from Podtacular’s YouTube channel:

Pretty nifty. I can’t wait to explore this game in all it’s facets! Finding Easter Eggs, big and small is always a fun adventure!

Be sure to click on the pic for a bigger version. Oh, and take your time looking at them and their names…

That’s 175 helmets folks!!!

There are 70 unique helmets. The other 105 are variant skins of those helmets.

The ones with the diagonal gold bars are Legendary helmets. Harder to come by. Note these are both Blue team and Fireteam Osiris’ helmets as well as Helioskrill and Nightfall.

Here is the list of helmets in alphabetical order (and please if you repost this, give halofanforlife.com credit and relink to here, as it took me awhile to alphabetize, research, and type this out, thanks) Continue reading →
