Okay, so while there is a small countdown to Halo 5 here on HFFL, I found a link to this all too disturbing countdown starring 343’s own Frank O’Conner. Not that Frank is disturbing, but it’s how his fingers and hands are used to count down…
Here’s just a screenshot of it.
There are five images of which the first is seen above showing varying pics of Frankie and his fingers. Be sure to click through the rest of them. I particularly like the Fingerhawk…
Check out the countdown HERE.
This is a reblog from Halo Waypoint:
We know you’re excited to finally get your hands on Halo 5: Guardians on October 27, and we wanted to make sure you’re ready to jump in right away. If you’ve digitally pre-ordered Halo 5: Guardians on your Xbox One before September 21 and are NOT using Instant On power mode, you may still have an incorrect “stub file” for the title, which is simply a placeholder file. Players that have this particular version of the stub file will be required to delete it, and reinstall the title. Continue reading

The women’s volleyball locker room at the University of Southern California’s 10,000-seat Galen Center isn’t the most glamorous green room, but Bonnie Ross couldn’t care less. It’s June 15, and in 30 minutes, Ross, who’s in charge of Microsoft’s most valuable gaming franchise, will take center stage at the industry’s most important conference, E3. It’s the pitch of her career—a preview of Halo 5: Guardians, set to go on sale on Oct. 27. Continue reading

Sunlight. Birdsong. Linens and pine. If not for the cultists, it would have been quite nice.
Man, Dasc is CRAZY!!
Okay, if you missed it folks, I’ve found several images on the net (apologies that I don’t have the names of who took the photos, for proper credit) of the cars, drivers a certain couple of Spartans and even Kiki Wolfkill at this past weekend’s NASCAR race.
This is a reblog from Primagames website:

With the recent announcement of Spartan Companies for Halo 5 Guardians, you just had to know that I would set one up for HFFL.
So here’s a little about the official HFFL company…
As per rules on Waypoint, you need to have at minimum 4 persons to constitute an active Spartan Company. This happened very quickly for HFFL and I got the following message on Waypoint.
Now as the company is active, each person that joins will receive a REQ pack for use in Halo 5. Continue reading

By Frank O’Conner
Over the years, Halo has enjoyed, or endured, depending on your perspective, all sorts of socially cohesive tools. But back in the day, through the moist mists of time to 2001, Halo wasn’t even online. You see back in 2001, Social Media referred to a dirty old newspaper that four hobos had slept in.

HFFL: Oh, first let me say, I’ve listened to it a few times now. It’s FANTASTIC!!!
Whether it’s the slow string build-up in “Jaws” or the grand blast of fanfare in “Star Wars,” music can not only inspire and captivate fans, but often help define entire franchises in entertainment. However, few franchises in entertainment – and even fewer in gaming – approach the level of prestige and cultural relevance as Halo, with millions of fans growing up to the sounds of Gregorian Monks chanting mysteriously in the background, and heart-pounding cellos pushing players to dive into battle.
It’s those epic gameplay moments paired with exquisitely crafted music that defines what Halo means to many fans, and Halo 5: Guardians has these moments in spades. If you can’t hold out to launch, 343 Industries is making the entire Halo 5: Guardians soundtrack available to stream for an entire week. Continue reading
