Halo 5: Guardians’ campaign isn’t as Call of Duty-esque as you think
by Joe Skrebels

Halo is approaching “holy text” levels of significance in people’s minds by this point. Bungie’s famous 30-second combat loop doctrine is the unimpeachable, transformative sacrament, those wide-open, blood-spattered sandboxes our promised land, with shiny, shiny Master Chief standing above it all, a faceless gunmetal Messiah. Suggest that any of these elements be changed or, Cortana help you, be the one changing them and watch as conservative zeal rains forth like so much 140-character brimstone. Continue reading →

‘Halo 5: Guardians’ is good fun, but it’s better with friends
by Nathan Ingraham

I’m a pretty huge video game fan, but I’ve never played a minute of the Halo series in my life; I’ve never even owned an Xbox console. As such, it’s somewhat appropriate that a preview of Halo 5: Guardians was my introduction to the series — it’s the first Halo game for the Xbox One, and it’s undoubtedly a title that Microsoft is looking at as a system seller. The game shouldn’t have a hard time getting long-time fans back into the fold, but what about someone like me? Continue reading →

Halo 5: Guardians Introduces Huge Missions, and Intimate Stories
by Mike Mahandy

Halo 5: Guardians asks a difficult question at its outset: is the Master Chief, Halo’s longtime protagonist and iconic leading man, really a good person?

“Hunt the Truth,” a fictional podcast series created as a prelude to Halo 5’s release, revealed skeletons from John 117’s past that call his true nature into question. Not only are there rumors about his mysterious upbringing, and involvement in a lethal incident with fellow soldiers–he’s also gone AWOL since Halo 4’s ending. Continue reading →

We’ve seen Fireteam Osiris jump into action. Now Blue team gets their own intro as well!

Okay, I will say, it was cool to finally hear Fred, Linda and Kelly voices. I do feel this intro was lacking by comparison to Osiris. Don’t know if that was intentional or not. Don’t get me wrong, we ALL know Blue team is bad are. This intro just didn’t feel as much to the Osiris vid.

I can’t wait to see them in action more though. More importantly, PLAY as them!!

This cryptic tweet popped up earlier today. What might it mean and more importantly, is it official?

Ready to dive in to Halo 5: Guardians but don’t know where to start? Fear not Spartan, because Xbox’s Major Nelson and 343 Industries’ Josh Holmes have joined together to talk about all the latest Halo 5 goodness releasing this year. Continue reading →

That is a decent amount of info there! Also, lots of potentials screenshots/avatars, etc!

I’m going to make som icons/avatars out of some of that stuff. I’ll post it on the blog later, for you all to use as you want.

We’re just 6 weeks away from the launch of Halo 5 Guardians! 42 days. roughly 1,000 hours (depending on where you live and also at what time your reading this).

The two videos that dropped yesterday gave us a good look at both a bit of Sangheilios as well as a brief glimpse at what goes into the making of a Halo game.

There is sure to be more info revealed. We still have New York Comicon to look forward to. Likely another multiplayer map reveal.

So here’s a question for you all, what new would you like to see revealed before Halo 5 releases?

We haven’t heard much at all about theater and forge. Those are high on my list.
