Microsoft wants Bungie rumor is false

As I suspected, the rumor is false.

Shinobi has tweeted out that they never made the tweet that was screenshot.

Apparently the post from Frank O’Conner was taken from a different thread and was posted some time ago, not recently.

Darren O’Hare hasn’t posted on Twitter in some time.

So it appears ‘thefriendlyassassin’ isn’t so friendly. To start an outright lie like that is ridiculous and of course wrong.

For my part in reposting that, I apologize. I did say treat it as rumor. However, next time, when something like this happens, I”ll endeavor to research it a bit more to see if it’s true or not.

Folks, I’m not a professional reporter. I’m a Halo fan. So when I read news like this, I pass it on to you. Yes, I feel like one was pulled over on me (and you as well). I can tell you this much, I”ll never report something from the friendlyassassin again, no matter how credible it may seem.

After all, this was the earliest that we have ever released a beta for a Halo game, coming almost a year before release. Putting a work-in-progress game out in the wild this early was a leap of faith, and something new for our studio. How would fans react? What results would we find? Continue reading

It’s pretty easy to guess that they are Agent Locke and Master Chief, especially given the outlines of each. Should these figures be shown in full detail at NYTF, you can BET on me being there, taking pictures of them, and posting them here for you all to see.

Thanks to Halo fan ‘Didact’ for tweeting me this info.

Discovered earlier today by Halo Mega Bloks fan ‘FoolishBakery’, we now have a list of proposed sets for Fall 2015. I say ‘proposed’ because as this information has not been officially released by Mega Bloks, we can not call this anything but rumor at this point.

What you see below are some interesting names for the sets. Looks like we’re getting some NEW vehicles in Halo 5. Continue reading
