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:

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

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.

Master Chief visual message 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!!

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

Meet Kelly, Fred, Linda, and John!

Master Chief, Cortana, Grunts, Elites and the UNSC, all names that should sound familiar to Halo fans and fans of gaming alike.

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 →
