HUNT the TRUTH Season 2 starts…TOMORROW!!!
According to an article on TIME.com, season 2 of Hunt theTruth starts tomorrow, 9-22-15!
The following is a reblog of that article:
In a series of podcasts, the mythology of the Halo universe was thrown into tumult. What will happen next?
It’s strange days in Microsoft’s Halo universe. Uncomfortable mysteries abound as Halo 5: Guardians nears. The series’ hulking Master Chief—savior of 26th century humanity—is inexplicably AWOL. Super-soldiers hunt super-soldiers. Ghastly revelations threaten cherished mythologies. Unrest looms. Continue reading
Hmm, something to watch or not??
This cryptic tweet popped up earlier today. What might it mean and more importantly, is it official?
The heralds of our Transcendence have made themselves known. Join us now, or forever know only one life. pic.twitter.com/B5spymdXm8

Canon Fodder: What’s URS’ is Ours
This is a reblog from halo Waypoint:
By GrimBrotherOne:
Issue 42
Greetings narrative-knowers! Welcome back to another issue of Canon Fodder. It’s been an exciting past several days in the ever-marching lead up to Halo 5: Guardians. Earlier this week we released new gameplay from the campaign mission “Swords of Sanghelios,” which contains quite a few interesting little tidbits that fans have already started picking up on. With the Elite homeworld looming in our headspace this week, I thought it might be fun to talk with one of the unsung heroes of bringing the Halo 5: Guardians campaign to life. You might have already seen her pop up in everything from our Halo story panel at SDCC 2015 to our recent “A Hero Reborn” ViDoc (both available on the Halo Channel!), but rest assured, in just a few short weeks you’ll be benefiting from 343 Industries Narrative Designer Morgan Lockhart’s hard work as you explore the upcoming campaign. Morgan was kind enough to sit down with us and share some pretty cool insight to the integration of story and narrative throughout every possible campaign corner. Here’s what she had to say!

Halo Community Update: Required Reading
This is a reblog from Halo Waypoint:
By B is for Bravo
We gave you a closer look at the REQ System in Halo 5: Guardians. Josh told of inspiration for the new system, and you saw, for the first time, new assassinations such as Back Breaker, new weapon skins like the Bracer Magnum, Mythic items such as the updated version of the battle-proven Mjolnir ODST helmet, Helljumper, plus Linda’s storied Sniper Rifle, Nornfang, and more. You’ve gotten a small glimpse into what the REQ system holds, and more is on the way in the few weeks until launch. Also, if you haven’t yet caught Mister Chief in his first ever speaking role, or prefer your tutorials to come from trademark-avoiding and copyright-tapdancing Spartan alternatives, be sure to check out his REQ System tutorial here, which covers everything in under five minutes.

Halo Reach Backwards Compatibility Teased!
A couple days ago, Phil Spencer was asked about Reach coming to the XBOX One. He didn’t respond with much only saying he’d like to see it come via BackCompat.
@lincon6eqo I'd like to see it come via back compat.
— Phil Spencer (@XboxP3) September 19, 2015
This however may be more cryptic than it may seem. He did say something relatively similar with regards to Halo Wars 2 and we’re getting that next year!
Reach came out 5 years ago just a few days ago. It would be nice to have had this for it’s 5 year anniversary. However, I’ll take it whenever, even if it’s next year or the year after. I personally enjoyed Reach. Really loved Firefight. I know that’s a mode many of you also want to come back to Halo.
I still have one more commendation in Fireefight to get to Onyx!
So what do you think? Would you like to see Reach be BackCompat? If so, what modes would you play? Campaign/Mulitplayer/Firefight? Forge?
I for sure would play the campaign and firefight. Likely some MP as well.

SIX Weeks til Halo 5 Guardians!
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.
Halo 5: Guardians – Cinema First Look
Halo 5: Guardians – Swords of Sanghelios Gameplay Capture
No Voting, no Veto! (You’ll take it and you’ll like it!)
No Voting, no Veto. That’s the word from Josh Holmes of 343, regarding what maps we get to play on at the beginning of a match.
The below was posted on twitter last week.

Halo Community Update: Level Best
This is a reblog from Halo Waypoint:
BY B IS FOR BRAVO
As we quickly approach the month of October, much Halo goodness lies ahead. In the coming weeks, we’ll detail new features, including ones you haven’t yet seen. We’ll talk about Halo 5: Guardians playlists and game modes, and much more. You’ll see more sneak peeks at the story of Halo 5, as well as things like the REQ System, Spartan customization, and much more. We know you’re anxiously awaiting these details and more, and they will come in due time. Before we move on, I wanted to extend a special thanks to those of you who have provided your overwhelming and tremendously helpful MCC playlist feedback on Waypoint, Twitter, and r/Halo – the playlist team is evaluating your input as they work towards their next update, which I’m looking forward to discussing in the near future.
Today, we’ll talk about Halo: Last Light, which drops in just four days, Warzone level progression, which will help detail the flow of a match, and more. Let’s get to it. Continue reading
The Halo Bulletin: Episode 24
This is a reblog from Halo Waypoint:
It’s been an awesome summer working on The Bulletin. We’ve traveled to some amazing places, met incredible fans, and shared our stories along the way. And today’s episode is a perfect example of this.
We head to the Oregon countryside to meet Jeremie and Alexis, the passionate creators of one of the most epic Halo costumes I’ve ever seen – a 12-foot Hunter. I loved hearing about their process and watching them work.
HFFL: I covered this when it happened, back in MARCH!
For Fresh Picks this episode you should check out Hunt the Truth if you haven’t yet. This is required listening to get ready for the launch of Halo 5:
Guardians and season 2 is coming soon so get caught up!
You should also watch Halo 101: Ellen Anders. I’ve been re-watching these after the Halo Wars 2 announcement to catch up on the story and I always really like Professor Anders, she kind of reminds me of a less-scary Dr. Halsey.
We’re at that time in development where we go heads down to support launch, but don’t worry, there’s still a lot of great content coming your way. The Bulletin will be taking a break but we’ll be back at launch, and we’ve got lots of exciting stuff to share in the meantime.
We’ll see you next time, on The Bulletin!
Canon Fodder: Infinity and Beyond
This is a reblog from Halo Waypoint:
BY GRIMBROTHER ONE
Welcome back, story-supporters! Last week we gave you your first details on the upcoming Halo novel from Joseph “Please do the Grunt voice” Staten, Halo: Shadow of Intent. This week we’ve got a smattering of lore-laden topics to touch on, starting off with a few words from current lead writer on the Halo: Escalation comic series, Duffy Boudreau. Many of you have been following Duffy’s work quite closely over the past few months, as he’s brought fans page after page of new Halo story goodness, featuring lore loaded with deep implications for the greater Halo narrative. Most recently, Duffy has been responsible for penning “The Absolute Record” story arc, which helps directly bridge the gap between the events of Halo 4: Spartan Ops and Halo 5: Guardians. I sat down with Duffy to ask about his role in creating new fiction, as well as how it feels to take on such a mantle of responsibility. Let’s get started, shall we?
