An Esoteric View of O.N.I.
We all know that ONI in the Halo Universe stands for the “Office of Naval Intelligence”. However, did you know there is a much deeper meaning to ONI than just that acronym?
Halo 5 Guardians ‘Pegasus’ Multiplayer map gameplay
Well, it appears there is another forge map as well that we will get in the beta. Pegasus!
Inlike Red Bull which gives you wings, this map instead gives you plenty of opportunity for ground pounding as evidenced in the video.
Again, the textures are simple and again, I’m fine with that. It makes the map look CLEAN, which I like. One thing to note is the cylinders on the map. While we’ve had round objects in the past, they have been few and far between. Looks like 343 is taking a step in the direction and that can only be a good thing for Halo forgers like myself.
This vid also comes from IGN, via 343: Continue reading
Kevin Franklin of 343 makes the Forbes 30 under 30 list!
I had the pleasure to meet Kevin back at New York Toy Fair 2012. Even played a few games of Halo 4 with him. Seems he’s made the Forbes list of 30 under 30.
Below is a screenshot of his entry on the list. You can see the full article HERE.
Thanks to HFFL reader ‘Chad’ for giving me the link to this.

Halo 5 Guardians ‘Orion’ Multiplayer map gameplay
Hmm, we got a clue in the Orion arm form Halo Startscope. I wonder if this is a tie-in due to the name of the map?
Regardless, check out this vid that was posted on IGN. This looks like a great forge map. I can’t wait to get my virtual hands on it!
If I’m not mistaken, we’ll see this map in the third week of the beta. If I am mistaken, well, darn then. LOL

Halostarscope.com has been in the Halo community news lately with the cryptic message given via XBOX’s twitter account. Now it seems there are two Halo 2 Anniversary wallpapers you can get from the site.
My friend and fellow Halo enthusiast, ‘PensHalo‘ found two of them. No word on if there are more than these. I did try to find more and didn’t find any others.
