Halo 5 Guardians Limited Collector’s Edition Disc Exchange Program

Okay folks, we asked about this, now we have the official news and way to get a Halo 5 Disc (If you get the Limited Collectors Edition)

PLEASE DO NOT REDEEM YOUR CODE IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN SWAPPING YOUR CODE FOR A DISC.

This offer is good from October 20 through November 1, 2015. 

If you’ve purchased the Limited Collector’s Edition of Halo 5: Guardians, you’ll receive the digital version of the game via a redeemable code. This gives you the opportunity to pre-download Halo 5: Guardians the week prior to launch, so that you’re ready to play on launch day in your region (Note This does not grant early access to the game). Remember to keep your console settings to “Automatic Update” so that your console downloads the Day 1 content update in advance of launch, ensuring you’re ready to play on October 27.  Continue reading

Halo Visualizer changes from Chief to Locke

Just a few days ago, http://visualizer.halowaypoint.com showed Chief’s helmet (as bits and pieces of messages. Now the image has changed to that of Locke’s helmet.

Halo visualizer Locke

Okay, I’ve got to say this now to get it out of my head. I’m really starting to hate this character. Yes, I know, he’s following orders. But it’s not just the character. It’s that 343 is basically shoving the character down our throats.

Sorry, but NO Spartan is equal to Chief. Even the rest of Blue team didn’t accomplish as much as Chief has. And we’re supposed to take to this joker who JUST BECAME a Spartan???

It’s going to take a LOT for me to like him. The whole hunting down Chief thing is already a huge knock to him. The way his character was introduced in Nightfall…ugh, just didn’t do it for me. Colter’s acting of the character was robotic, IMO.

So now, Chief’s helmet is removed and replaced with Locke’s. Ugh…let it be the 27th already so we can get away from all of this Locke advertising. PLEASE…

At any rate, follow the link above and leave a message!

Oh…and if you want to see Chief’s helmet in this, go to the line at the bottom of the page linked above. Slide a little left of the October 2 date. Locke’s helmet will change back to Chief’s!

Halo Community Update: Off to a Running Start

This is a reblog from Halo Waypoint: 

BY B IS FOR BRAVO – 

Welcome to October 2015, Halo fans.

We’ve entered a historic month. In just 25 days, the next Halo title will release, and years from now, similar to past game launches, you may remember the lead up to the game’s launch, the midnight release, and the days and weeks that follow. We’ve been providing you with consistent drops of Halo 5: Guardians details, and we hope you’ve enjoyed what you’ve seen thus far. Earlier this week, you saw more Warzone gameplay as well as REQ info. You’ve seen another sneak peek at new REQ Cards, and maybe you’re even caught up with all of the intense action of Season 2 of Hunt the Truth. A quick glance at the massive, jam-packed whiteboard next to my desk tells me that there’s a lot more on the way between now and the end of the month, and I’m excited for each and every screenshot, tidbit, and gameplay clip that is on the way.

Over the past few weeks, we’ve learned a great deal about the development of Campaign missions as well as Warzone and Arena. This week, we’ll take a deeper look at something we haven’t talked much about in the weekly update: the fast-paced Arena mode Breakout. Continue reading

Chief LIVES!!!

I knew it! Okay, so the chances of Chief really being dead weren’t quite big. But still…

This video had been leaked earlier in the day. I’m assuming that Microsoft/XBOX/343 was frustrated by that leak and by the time they got to it, it’s had been seen by many.

So they’ve officially released it.

BTW, this is likely the cid they were going to show during ‘Fear the Walking Dead’ this Sunday. They still will, in al likelihood.
