Okay, so if you haven’t heard the news yet, the below video shows a news feed proclaiming to humanity that Master Chief has died. The date is Oct 27, 2560 (same release date as Halo 5, other than the year of course).

As well, the voice of Master Chief leaves a possibly cryptic tweet:

It has been nothing short of a galactic journey. Thanks for everything @343 @Xbox. #TeamChief #Halo5

Okay, shocking as this may be if you’re just now seeing/reading/hearing about this for the first time, let me point out that it may not be true…

I’ll have more on this later in another article. For now, stew this over in your mind.

Would 343/MS really kill off their ‘Super Mario”? If so, wow, shocking and very short sighted, IMO….again, more on this later.

From destruction’s youtube channel, here is but a case of some of the shenanigans voiced by the grunts and more in Halo 5!

I’ve already left my note. Have you? Clicking on the pic below will take you to a site that will allow your message to become part of Halo history as well as Master Chief’s helmet.

Each little piece you see is a message by someone. This website is interactive too. You can move your mouse up and down, left and right and the helmet will move as such.

It’s even better if you are using a tablet! Move your tablet around and the helmet moves with it! Very cool!!

The Black Eye Skull can be found in the story mission Blue Team.

We have 13 Skulls confirmed so far. (In alphabetical order only)

Black Eye: Shield doesn’t recharge until you melee enemies
Blind: HUD and first-person arms/weapon hidden
Catch: Enemies are grenade happy
Cowbell: Acceleration from explosions increased
Fog: Motion sensor is disabled
Famine: Weapons drop less ammo
Grunt Birthday Party: Head shot on a grunt
Iron: Cannot revive/be revived (No word if you die in solo play will it revert to beginning of mission)
IWHBYD: Rare dialog is more common
Mythic: Increased enemy health
Thunderstorm: Enemy abilities upgraded
Tilt: Enemy resistances/weaknesses enhanced
Tough Luck: Enemies berserk, always dive, and never flee

Halo 5: Guardians has some new toys but a familiar feel
by Rey Gutierrez

Meet Kelly, Fred, Linda, and John!

Before we had “Guardians,” there was just evolved combat in the original Halo: Combat Evolved, which released on the first Xbox on November 15, 2001. Since then, the Halo franchise has endured several sequels, prequels, books, spin-offs, and I’m sure a collection of naughty fan-fiction in the darkest reaches of the Internet. Continue reading →
