Here it is folks! This was teased as the back drop for the XBOX Daily show yesterday. Now it’s been revealed that this is the actual statue that comes with the Collectors Edition of Halo 5 Guardians!
Credit to ‘The Undying Mind’ on twitter for posting the image.
To me, this is a very cool statue. It looks like Locke is helping Chief. then again, viewed form a different angle, it could also look like Locke could bone aiming for Chief.
So what do you think folks? Do you like the statue? Disappointed? Will this be enough to get you to buy the Collectors Edition?
There will be other stuff of course in that edition.

I’ve finally been able to download all the press images released for halo 5 Guardians. I’ve got a little sorting out to do with those, then I’ll start posting them. Since there are MANY images, these will be posted as different sets of images within separate articles. When I’m done posting those, I’ll add links back and forth between them all for your easy reference.
You may download these images. Just follow Microsoft’s rules when ti comes to posting them anywhere else. They are NOT to be used for profit in any manner.

(And no pesky watermarks…other than 343’s official one. These images are not a specific website’s images, so if you see their watermark on then, they are actually infringing on copyright.)
Do you think the XBOX ONe  was planned to be backwards compatible? Or did the failed launch of the Halo Master Chief collection spur Microsoft to make this happen?
The HMCC hasI just like to know which one it is only been out for six months. Do you think that’s enough time for the Xbox engineers to have developed backwards compatibility?
I am curious about this myself. I think either is plausible. I’d just like to know which one it is.
The reason why it could be because of the HMCC is that Microsoft didn’t want to have another title from the 360 failed to launch on the XBOX One.

Okay folks, you’ve waited long enough. Now we finally can talk about what is coming for Halo 5 Guardians.
First up, the campaign.
We already know about Blue Team and Fireteam Osiris.
We now see that not only will the fight be taken to Covenant worlds and that the Arbiter is at the forefront with that.
You will also be able to command your AI teammates. Have them lock on to an enemy or revive a fellow teammate, and MORE!
Not only have we already been introduced to the Promethean Soldier, we now know there are variants of them. A Promethean Captain will grace our crosshairs!
Looks as though we’re going to be able to board the massive 4,635ft tall Guardians themselves! Hmm, what wonders await us inside??
New game mode announced: War Zone!
Take a look:
24 PvP and versus AI?! WOW!!! With 4X the playable space than has been seen in other maps, this is going to be HUGE on all counts!!!
I’ll update this article as I get more info from E3.
UPDATE! There will be ‘bosses’ who will spawn in on War Zone matches. These could be Elite’s with Banshee’s, Hunters, Promethean Soliders and more. They are worth big points in War Zone.
There are a two main ways to win in War Zone. Â Either be the first team to get to 1000 points OR blow up the other team’s core.
So what we have here is a slayer AND objective based game, WITH Enemy AI as well. This is Everything in one package of multiplayer!
Now beyond this was a piece of news regarding how to get weapons and vehicles into the game. 343 is introducing a new thing called ‘Requisition Cards’. You earn these through the game. The more you earn, the better things you can request. So besides just weapons, you could potentially call in a Scorpion, if you have enough ‘Req’. There are also some items that are purely cosmetic. That wasn’t explained too much other than to say those cosmetic things would also carry over into regular matchmaking.
