Previously, I revealed three of the figures from the first wave of McFarlane Halo 5 Guardians action figures, Locke, Chief and the MP Athlon Spartan.
Now I’m happy to reveal the complete series 1 figures. This was confirmed by James Monosmith of 343. Continue reading
I found this via instagram user, redhuequasar. I thought it looked pretty cool, so I wanted to share it here.
On a tip from fellow Halo fan, Laird MacClean, I researched this to find that another actor has taken the helm as voice actor for Spartan Locke in Halo 5 Guardians. I tweeted this out yesterday:
It had been found on IMDB that both Colter and Amadi were listed as the voice actors for Spartan Locke. Continue reading
This is a reblog from gamespot.com:
We haven’t heard much about Steven Spielberg’s Halo digital TV show in a long time, and it was nowhere to be seen during Microsoft’s E3 2015 briefing this week. But that doesn’t mean the project is canceled.
“We still are working on it,” [Bonnie] Ross told GameSpot this afternoon. “But nothing to announce at this point.”
Though Ross didn’t go into specifics about when we may finally learn more, she did provide a general overview for how Microsoft approaches transmedia projects. Continue reading

By GrimBrother One – ISSUE 29
In this video interview of Kevin Franklin, multiplayer design director and Chris Lee, director of production, with Halo 5 Guardians., Polygon gets answers on various things regarding Halo 5 Guardians.
In specific, I’m pointing out their question and the answer regarding Firefight and Spartan Ops not being included in Halo 5. You can go to the 5:18 mark of the video for this. Continue reading
I’m writing this from a fan perspective. So please understand I might make some mistakes. What is listed below is what I’ve gathered from around the web, much of which was revealed during E3 these last few days.
What is the REQ system?
It is the system used to earn weapons, vehicles or aesthetic to your armor or guns through REQ points in Halo 5 Guardians.
REQ Points/Packs
The quick and easy explanation is that the REQ Points  (Rpts) are the currency of the system, while REQ Packs (Rpks) are the reward.
Rpts are rewarded after multiplayer games, either Arena or War Zone. These can be redeemed in multiplayer for Rpks.
As far as I can tell, you can only redeem your Rpts during gameplay. Which does make sense in a way. Though for aesthetic things, I’d like to redeem those at any time. That is a question already posed to 343. I’ll post their response when/if they give one to that. Continue reading
This is the second episode of a new comedic series using Halo video.
Be forewarned, there is adult language in this video, so children under 18, please skip this article. Everyone else, enjoy. It is rare when I post something like this with that kind of language. I gotta admit though, this was funny.
If you do have an issue with the vid, go to the YouTube link and make your voice heard their. I am merely the messenger in this case, not the content creator of the vid.

This is a reblog from HaloWaypoint:
BYÂ JOSHINGTONSTATE
I’m seeing a lot of questions on Twitter and in forums about the new Requisition System (REQ System) in Halo 5: Guardians. The REQ System rewards players across both our multiplayer experiences. Players will earn REQ Points after each match in Arena or Warzone multiplayer, which can then be redeemed for REQ Packs. So what goodies are in REQ Packs? Each pack contains a variety of requisitions (REQs) in the form of unlockable weapons and armors, skins, assassination animations, and more. Â In addition, players will receive REQ Packs as rewards when they level up their Spartan Rank (SR) and complete Commendations across multiplayer. Continue reading
