As I suspected, the rumor is false.
Shinobi has tweeted out that they never made the tweet that was screenshot.
Apparently the post from Frank O’Conner was taken from a different thread and was posted some time ago, not recently.
Darren O’Hare hasn’t posted on Twitter in some time.
So it appears ‘thefriendlyassassin’ isn’t so friendly. To start an outright lie like that is ridiculous and of course wrong.
For my part in reposting that, I apologize. I did say treat it as rumor. However, next time, when something like this happens, I”ll endeavor to research it a bit more to see if it’s true or not.
Folks, I’m not a professional reporter. I’m a Halo fan. So when I read news like this, I pass it on to you. Yes, I feel like one was pulled over on me (and you as well). I can tell you this much, I”ll never report something from the friendlyassassin again, no matter how credible it may seem.

The following is a reblog from HaloWaypoint. The article is by Josh Holmes, executive producer for 343.
Late last year, we gave you a first look at the future of Halo multiplayer with the release of the Halo 5: Guardians Multiplayer Beta. This was a huge endeavor for everyone on the Halo 5: Guardians team and one that we approached with nervous excitement. After all, this was the earliest that we have ever released a beta for a Halo game, coming almost a year before release. Putting a work-in-progress game out in the wild this early was a leap of faith, and something new for our studio. How would fans react? What results would we find? Continue reading
Just a couple hours ago as of this writing, McFarlane Toys teases this graphic of upcoming Halo 5 action figures.
It’s pretty easy to guess that they are Agent Locke and Master Chief, especially given the outlines of each. Should these figures be shown in full detail at NYTF, you can BET on me being there, taking pictures of them, and posting them here for you all to see.
Thanks to Halo fan ‘Didact’ for tweeting me this info.
According to the website the friendlyassaasin.com, this might more than just possible. OR it could all be BUNK…
Below is a partial reblog of their article. Continue reading
Discovered earlier today by Halo Mega Bloks fan ‘FoolishBakery’, we now have a list of proposed sets for Fall 2015. I say ‘proposed’ because as this information has not been officially released by Mega Bloks, we can not call this anything but rumor at this point.
What you see below are some interesting names for the sets. Looks like we’re getting some NEW vehicles in Halo 5. Continue reading
It’s been quite awhile since we last had a wave of Halo figures from McFarlane Toys. Well, the wait is soon over!
Not only are we getting Spartan Thorne from Fireteam Majestic, Commander Sarah Palmer, and Jul ‘Mdama, we’re also getting a fourth figure, not previously shown. This fourth figure will be an exclusive to Walgreen’s. The figures is a Red Spartan Soldier (Halo 4 armor) with White secondary color.
Without further ado, let’s get to the official pics from McFarlane. (Click on pics to make bigger) Continue reading
This is a reblog from Halo Waypoint’s on-going Canon Fodder series of articles:
Today, we wanted to tackle something that has an incredible importance in the overall scope of the Halo narrative: The firing of the Halo Array. This actually arose from a question that popped up on the Universe forums regarding the birth year of the Ur-Didact, Shadow-of-Sundered-Star, which is listed as 110255 BCE in his Universe profile. The question was whether or not the date could be accurate given its relationship to other events in the Halo timeline. In order to more completely understand the relationship between certain events and when they occur, it helps to identify certain benchmarks that can be used to extrapolate other information.

Rooster Teeth’s Monty Oum, animator for RvB and RWBY has passed away. He passed yesterday due to an allergic reaction from a medical procedure.
