May I point out that the scenery has some minor differences in the scenes. Things are placed differently. The differences could point away from a split campaign since the actually level/scenery would be identical.
Good find Yoshi!
I found Master Chiefs trailer to be far better. 343i really lived up to the hype on this. Master Chief sounded very upset with Lockes actions, while Locke sounded he did everything he did to put MC down.
I love the direction 343i is taking. KEEP IT UP

Name: Crossbone
Race: Human, Spartan-IV
Class: Medic
Weapon(s) of choice: Silenced SMG, DMG Battle Rifle(from Halo:Online), Incendiary Grenades, Bubble Shield
Characteristics: Strong silent type.
Backstory: Previously a Combat Medic then ODST during the war. In an ironic turn of events Crossbone keeps himself distant from his teammates after witnessing his entire ODST squad being slaughtered during the battle of the Ark. Nowadays he still serves to honor their memory. Also one of the few of the Spartan-IV's who excel in first aid and treating wounds mid battle. Crossbone also developed an immense curiosity for the Covenant species throughout the course of the war. He has some minor knowledge of Sanghelli and Unggoy Biology. (Although good luck getting a Sanghelli to accept medical aid during combat). He still shares a great interest for the medical field even going as far as to complete his Astrobiology degree on Mars whenever he has time off.
Overview of equipment and experience: Crossbone was never fit to be a ranger. He has always preferred close to medium ranged combat and cannot snipe a target to save his life. He also has a distaste for alien weaponry mainly preferring good old UNSC Firearms unless the situation forces him otherwise. Crossbone is fully outfitted with the Scanner armor variant and prefers to stay in cover providing suppression support and calling out enemy positions. He isnt the strongest gunslinger among the Spartan-IV's but his knowledge of enemy tactics and quick thinking help him outsmart his opponents.

I hope I didnt make him too OP

How do you feel being a leader of the community?
I wouldn't call myself a leader of the community. I feel as if I take an active part in its development and that maybe some members view me as a leader figure because of my position in staff, but I guess I say I am honored that I get the chance to do something like this. It seems dumb to say such a thing, but it feels great. I love video games and being able to contribute to the video game community in meaningful way.
How has the position you are in now effected how you are on the site?
I pay more attention to upholding the rules. I would say at first it gave me an ego boost but I eventually noticed that and cut it out right away. Honestly nowadays I do my best to make sure the rules are unkept(by reporting and not backseat moderating of course) and encourage good discussion and do my best to make playdates enjoyable.What makes this site important enough for you to put so much time into it?
Mainly for the reason that I love video games. Contributing to the community and seeing other people enjoy what I do keeps me going. Plus it helps me build friends with common interestHow has the community changed you?
Its made me better at interacting with others who disagree with me online and in person. It has also given me a wealth of information and opinions from people with different views or outlooks then me which is great in it of itself. I've also been more motivated to actually do things like video edit and graphic design.
What drives you to the extra mile for all these people you have never met before?
There is no particular reason. Although I enjoy seeing people have fun over the stuff I help create. Whether it be playdates, discussion, or just the videos I make for people to watch. I guess I dont really have a reason for what I do. Just that I enjoy doing itGreat MoM wish Yoshi. I hope my answers were more then enough

I have a bias because I dont really like the AC Games
I really enjoyed my time Dying Light. Its a game you can play for awhile and there is a lot to do. Once you get to the endgame and have all your abilities killing Zombies becomes loads of fun.
Also compared to AC Unity the game respects your time a lot more. I didnt feel the itching need to go back and collect everything. I completed the main story right away and was able to do so seamlessly. The side quests arent pushed in your face constantly but theyre still there to do them if you wish. Some of the side quests can also be quite interesting(there is one where you need to defend some crazy old fisherman as you both walk a trail)
The main quests are also varied. I didnt find myself backtracking a whole lot(you do but there are a lot of routes to take to go to the same place so it keeps things fresh). The parkour system is also kept very basic. You have one button that does everything(jump, and climb). Later on in the game you get a grappling hook(which makes you spider man) and if you find the Super Mario easter egg you get some glider(which isnt useful but fun to use)
Also there are a lot of fun easter eggs. They have a Destiny Loot Cave one, another which you play the first world from Super Mario Bros, and another which is Dead Space related and earns you a stasis grenade blueprint.
With all that being said though. The story sucks. I didnt enjoy it much but its enough to keep you going. The last mission is really really bad. Luckly for you the gameplay is fun enough you ignore all of this and just want to keep playing. The combat is also quite fun too and mixing it up with different abilites like vaulting and slide kicks. Even backthrows or throwing ninja stars also help.
Its content rich if youre willing to dig past the main stuff. The game also isnt a walk in the park. When night comes youre going to die if you try fighting the zombies(its also really dark which makes it harder to see)
Overall I would say Dying Light. The game respects your time and the main quests alone arent cookie cutter or that repetitive(one mission has you collecting protection payments, another planting bombs under a timelimit, and another navigating sewers to reach your goal). Its a game you can pick up and finish and feel satisfied afterwards.

This has been greatly affecting our site as well.
We've had to resort back to using the 360 in order to host some Halo playdates again. There was even a major lull in site gamenights from November up until March due all these issues. Heck we cant hosts contests either because of the lack of file sharing system. For now we have resorted to other games like Titanfall or Destiny but that just isnt the same as playing Clue on Halo 4 or Ghostbusters on Halo 3.
Its nice to see all of us uniting under one banner to get 343i's attention. Lets stay confident and hope they fix it soon.
Although sadly with the news of Halo:Online this might get foreshadowed just slightly while people are in rage about its Russian closed beta exclusivity.
Dogspeed 343i
In other news 343i still isnt that great in the PR Department.-

You can follow along with the tutorial without Google Chrome but it is HIGHLY recommend you use Chrome due to its translation feature which will no doubt help you if you get stuck.
Step 1. Go the Halo Online Beta signup site.
Which can be found here: https://ru.4game.com/halo/install/After you get to the site click the translate button(The picture in the spoiler shows you where it is)
Step 2: Create an account
After the site is translated it will be easier for you to find the "Create An Account" button (you can find it without translating but this is easier)
Click that!
After you click it a new window will popup and ask you for your email. GIVE THEM A VALID EMAIL.
Youre going to need it to get the access key(when theyre given out) and to activate your account.Now enter your email and click submit
After you click submit go check your email for the activation link. If youre using gmail it should automatically translate the email for you(dont worry when you get the email its the only part of the email with a link. Its pretty obvious what to click)
Step 3: Setting up your account
This part is easy but also tricky. All you need to do is setup a password and choose your region. BUT BEWARE. Make sure you pick RUSSIA as your region. This closed beta is for Russians only so dont pick your country as your region or chances are you wont get in.
Heres how it should look
Just check both of the boxes and fill in your password(in the only empty box there) and click on the nice looking button to submit.
Step 4: YOURE DONE
Your account has been made and you should have been redirected to the main page. If not then just click on the link given above and hit the "apply" button
You have successfully applied for the Halo Online beta! Let me know below if you did or didnt so when keys are finally released I can remind all of you to check your email ;D
Sorry if this guide was short or barren on details. I am quite tired and writing this with little sleep. I hope this helps all of you. Be warned though since the beta will be exclusive to Russians if you do manage to get in you will face the hard task of navigating foreign menus and dealing with god awful ping. BEST OF LUCK GUARDIANS

Xbox one gets terrible game compared to 360. Share the love microsoft.
Thats because the X1 doesn't have the huge library of games that the 360 has
Plus Child Of Light is an AMAZING game. One of my favorite JRPG esque games from last year. Heck since its free on Xbox One I might even replay it.
Pool Nation looks interesting. I love playing me some Pool in real life so lets see if this video game adaptation is any good.
Microsoft are on a roll with the disappointing games for Xbox One, how much longer will they continue? Considering all the money spent on Gold Membership adds up to be quite a lot, we should at least receive decent games. From what I've heard and seen, Sony have been giving PS4 gamers some better games for free. A good game here and there won't hurt Microsoft.
The Xbox One hasn't been out very long plus the PS4 also has a larger library of games compared to the Xbox One.
Plus a "good" game is purely objective. Child Of Light is a fantastic game in my opinion while other people might disagree. Your definition of good game is going to differ from what everyone else thinks. In my opinion Microsoft did a great job having Child Of Light free this month(it came out last year in April too I believe)

This actually looks like it might be mighty good fun.
If you buy weapons permanently that is.
I have no issues regarding renting weapons in F2P online shooters. I do have a problem when they don't give me the option to fully purchase the weapon. I am sure if enough people complain they will add the feature but for now this is a big gripe for me. What if I ALWAYS want to use the DMR without a scope? Why am I restricted to using it only in 24 Hour periods. Odd F2P Logic(but hey it rakes in a lot of money for them so you can't really argue)
-
We should remember that countries like Russia and China have extremely high piracy rates when it comes to games. Which is why you see stuff like CoD:Online, and Borderlands:Online only in China or something.
So while I am confident if we beg enough we will get a Halo Online release in our part of the world the basic premise is that since F2P games do massively well in those countries. Why not milk money out of them first and milk money out of the rest of the world who are willing to buy games and not pirate them? (countries like US and Europe have lower piracy rates)
Halo Online will not doubt make its way to our shores. Its a money making opportunity for those people who like that F2P stuff. Even if it isnt what the core Halo fans want it will open up the market to a new crowd(since it is a F2P Online Shooter)
Lets just see how this turns out shall we? Seeing all this loadout stuff and armor that changes your stats along with perks. Now this really sounds like Call Of Halo.

You do know people in other countries can still play this right?
By using a VPN. I've done it before to play some Japan only Gundam games. Maybe I'll do it again for Halo Online
The only problem is awful ping and not understanding the menus. If the Halo community shows enough interest it should eventually come to the states. -
Your name is cool AND you speak Spanish! Amigo!

I'll most likely make the Halo one. JUST REMEMBER TO PROMOTE YOUR EVENT

Remember that Hunt The Truth trailer and countdown from two days ago? Well once it finally ticked down we got something.
Something interesting.
We got an alternate reality game(in the vein of ilovebees for Halo 2 and others alike). Except this time it follows an unlikely character. A War Photographer and Journalist named Benjamin Giraud(his name sounds awfully familiar. Maybe it was mentioned in previous Halo lore? I'm thinking Escalation or one of the Kilo-Five novels. Or maybe I'm just being dumb)
Benjamin is searching for the truth about Spartan 117. In doing so this fictional character is going to be releasing weekly audio episodes of this search and what he finds. I have a feeling him being a war photographer we might even get some photos in the mix to help.
This first episode(Episode 00 Primer) has nothing of significance so not really much to discuss. However feel free to post your theories on what might happen and what Benjamin might uncover.
Link to Episode 00 Primer

Next episode is on 3/29EDIT:
Benjamin Giraud is on the Halowiki. He isn't a new character at all!

Official Halo 5: Guardians "Two Sides" Trailer Discussion Thread
in Halo 5: Guardians
Posted
The most notable thing is how well the voice acting was done in both trailers.
Locke sounds like he snapped a nerve. He sounds loopy and that reflects in his body language too
Chief sounds genuinely upset. Which is new to hear in his voice. He sounds straight up mad with what Locke did to get there.
It should also be pointed out that either one or none of these trailers are true. This is part of the #HuntTheTruth campaign. We need to figure out for ourselves which side is telling the real story. Maybe none of them are? I think those #HuntTheTruth audiocasts that are being released will slowly unveil more details on what exactly is going on. By the time E3 rolls around I think we will have a more general idea and a more solid basis to form theories
The following theory I got from r/Halo(I don't remember who to credit sorry about that) but basically a user commented that he thinks the Chief's trailer is the real one and before Chief pulls the trigger he tells Locke "Tell them you killed me and had nothing to bring back" and that Locke's trailer is what he tells his ONI superiors
I don't have time but someone should really start pointing out the differences in the trailer like with the MC Statue and such. They must be important or else they wouldn't have taken the time to put them in there.
Yoshi should also post his concept art theory. I cant access the photo right now but it was really well good and no doubt has some significance!
