  1. For Halo 5 Forge, I think they should let you spawn more vehicles, especially aircrafts. As of Halo 4, the only flying vehicle in forge is the banshee. they should have drivable Lynches, Phantoms, Pelicans, and a return of the Falcon, this time the one with the guns. So what do you think? What vehicles should they add? Are there some that you think they should take out? Leave any comments below.
  2. So what arwe your thoughts of Halo 5's Warzone? Are you excited for it? Ibthink it seems awesome to have a giant map 4x the size of a regular map, and having AI's involved to just bother or kill other players is cool. A 12v12 is a big battle, and I think it's going to be great. so what are your thoughts or theories about Warzone?
  3. Phil Spencer sat down with Giant Bomb on their E3 Podcast not that long ago to talk about how Backwards Compatibility works, and clear confusion on some of what it can & can't support. He went on to say that multi-disc 360 games, like Wolfenstein: The New Order or Dead Space 3, are currently in development, and are being looked into. He said specifically, "We're still working on multi-disc. Lost Odyssey, and Blue Dragon are some of my favorites from the 360. There's actually work in packing a multi-disc into single that requires us to go back and look at the original package on the multiple discs and reconfigure that. There weren't allot of multi-discs on 360, but that is an issue for us." He also made a brief comment regarding Kinect: noting that 360 Kinect games will not work on Xbox One, "There's some caveats, and as always I like to be as transparent as I can be on this: Kinect games won't work from the 360, because translating between the Kinect sensors is almost impossible." Lastly, Xbox Support on Twitter confirmed that disc-based & digital 360 DLC will be supported, and can be transferred to Xbox One via the Backwards Compat. system. However, the availability of the DLC depends on whether or not the Developer or Publisher approves it. For example, if a company like ZeniMax were to allow it's consumers to port it's 360 DLC to the One, content such as Dawnguard from Skyrim & Mothership Zeta from Fallout 3 will be playable with no strings attached (the content still needs to be tested beforehand, like Phil Spencer said in the podcast above), and possibly all DLC from the GOTY and special editions of said games will be utilized as well. Again, this still depends on the content-holders giving the green-light. Backwards Compatibility will be available to everyone later this year, and supposedly will launch with around 100 supported titles, and hundreds more every month. Those who are in the Xbox One Preview Program can test the system's current titles right now, like Perfect Dark Zero, Super Meat Boy, and Battleblock Theater. Xbox additionally has a public vote on which games will be approved. You can go to the Xbox Feedback forums here to cast your vote on a game you would like to see on Xbox One. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Halo 5: Guardians has plenty of pre-order bonuses that are acquired from different retailers, such as Agent Locke's HUNTER armor from Gamestop & GAME, the Projection SMG from Amazon, and a loadout weapon & skin from Xbox Live. The incentives to buy the game from all these retailers makes the content too exclusive for any one person to get unless you want to go through a large amount of hassle. It makes the choice & lack of choice of place to preorder all the more difficult. Relieving the pressure on fan's shoulders, Josh Holmes of 343 Industries made a quick response to a user on Twitter regarding availability of the preorder content. He confirmed that all preorder content can be unlocked in the base game regardless of who you bought the game from, and that the preorder itself just "- guarantees you have it out of box.". So earning something like the Sentinel Battle Rifle from Gamestop will require work in-game to get, but you'll still have a guarantee of the content being unlockable.

  5. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=roRGPI1PwNQ Team Silicon Valley Vs. Team Coco. Man Yoshi, you really suck At Halo 5. Not much to really see here, except an actually play through on Fathom, if you could call it a play through. I like the crowd's "ooo" when the assassination happens.
  6. In the list of goodies we get with the special edition for Halo 5: Guardians are 14 REQ packs. But what are these REQ packs exactly? REQ packs are purchasable with in-game REQ points which you earn after completing a game of Warzone or Arena multiplayer. Get enough of these REQ points and you'll be able to redeem them for REQ packs. Since the special editions feature "A Warzone REQ bundle with 14 Premium Requisition packs" we can assume that there are different types of REQ packs you can purchase. REQ packs are also obtainable by leveling up your Spartan Rank and completing commendations. So what is within these REQ packs? Each REQ pack has a variety of items. Including unlockable weapons, armors, skins, assassination animations and more. Be aware that only cosmetic items obtained from REQ packs are usable in the Arena portion of the multiplayer. The weapon and vehicle cards shown in the E3 demo are restricted to Warzone. In Warzone you'll be allowed to take your weapons and vehicle cards from REQ stations. To ensure an equal start of the match the cards are restricted by Warzone's in-game REQ level which you can level up by completing feats in the Warzone match. So no starting out with a Mantis and stomping on your enemies just because you got lucky with your REQs. After the game's release 343i ensures us of new additions to the REQ packs so we'll always have something new to play around with. As a matter of convenience 343i will also make REQ packs purchasable from the Microsoft Store. A part of the income from these purchases will go to the Halo Championship Series' prize pool. Now I can hear you thinking "OMG MICROTRANSACTIONS NOOOOOOOOOO" but keep in mind that these REQ packs will not yield you anymore power on the battlefield. The weapons you'll be able to use in Warzone are still locked behind the in-game REQ level for balance sake. The only way these microtransactions are benefitial is if you don't really have the time to play Halo each and everyday but still want to keep up with some of the unlocks. Also remember that the Map Packs will be completely free. What do you think of this REQ pack system? Let us know down below! Thank you for reading! Source: Halowaypoint View full article
  7. The announcement came along with a series of descriptions about the issue, and a teaser trailer on . July's issue includes the demo of the second mission of the Campaign, a breakdown of the changes to Empire, a rundown of Fireteam Osiris, the reveal of an underwater map called Fathom, and a ton of other things. Head on over to Gameinformer.com to check out the full scoop. Additionally the reveal came with a truckload of images, so here they are for your leisure : Thanks for reading!

  8. This article will be based on the features shown, and not necessarily the story elements that were revealed. You can go to Greenskull's article here if you would like to read through the whole experience. Universal Campaign Features: The AI system is very similar to Left 4 Dead in which 3 AI teammates (the 3 other Spartans besides the Leaders in each Spartan Team: Fireteam Osiris, and Blue Team) will follow around the host until another player joins in. These AI companions will accompany the host throughout the entire game. Each of the 8 Spartan characters have unique HUDs, starting Loadouts, and of course voices & personalities. Chatter between the characters will be commonplace. The player can use D-Pad commands to order around their Spartan Teams. Greenskull stated on the matter, "If you are looking at a weapon and press up on the D-Pad, a teammate will run over and pick it up. Point at an enemy and your team will focus fire on it. You can even direct them to cover..." Similar to Borderlands, every player can be crippled or "downed". The player will crouch onto the ground, and will die if another player, or AI doesn't come in to revive them. The player will still respawn if they're in Online Coop, but if you die in Singleplayer you'll revert to a previous checkpoint. When downed you can press a button to notify everyone else to save you, and all it will take is the press of the "use" button (the button mapping will be different if you're using an alternate control scheme) by a teammate to get you back up. The time it takes to revive a player is around 2-3 seconds. Online Coop: Utilizes a "jump-in-drop-out system", which allows anyone to join in and leave without impacting the host's game too much. This means that Join In Progress is in Halo 5. Any new player joining the game can choose which character they want to be (Fred, Linda, Kelly - Tanaka, Vale, Buck). The original Host will ALWAYS be Chief or Locke. Both of the leader positions (Chief or Locke) have access to the D-Pad commands, while every other character doesn't. The commands are somewhat the same in Online Coop in comparison to Singleplayer. Continued from Greenskull's quote above, "With a team of human players, the party leader (Master Chief or Spartan Locke) can still perform these commands (the ones listed above in the Universal section) to help direct their teammates to locations, enemies, or hidden weapons." Lastly, difficulty will be scaled based on how many players are in the game. A mission played on Legendary with 4 players will be more difficult than a Solo run on Legendary. Prometheans & Enemies: Prometheans are returning with a new type being introduced: The Promethean Solider (pictured in the image at the top of this article). The only other information there is is that it moves fast, and is around the same size of a Spartan such as the Chief. An ENORMOUS new enemy called a Guardian has been introduced, though Guardians have existed in Halo lore long before Halo 5, and it's currently unknown if these Guardians are connected to the old ones. Standing at 4,635 feet tall, the Guardian easily is the most massive enemy ever featured in a Halo game (the Gravemind is probably another good candidate). Here's an image from Greenkskull's video on Youtube based on scale. ALL Covenant enemies speak English due to Jul M'Dama's authority loosening. He originally banned the usage of English and other human language which is why the Covenant spoke their native languages in Halo 4. This comes from the Halo 5 Gameinformer issue that was recently revealed. Environments: The playtesters were shown a brief Campaign teaser, and Greenskull named the things he saw to the best of his ability, "It moved so fast it was hard to point anything out. That being said, what my eyes feasted upon was jaw dropping: massive enemies, space battles, and more. I saw Hunters forming from worms (Lekgolo) on the ground, Banshees flying past a space station, and a flying Forerunner vehicle shooting at a massive covenant station (it almost looked like a mining rig).", he went on to say, "The scale was unlike anything we’ve seen in Halo, specifically the giant vehicle scene. There were vehicles flying around, Covenant shooting plasma through the air, and explosions illuminating the landscape. It was hard not to get excited." The maps have plenty of alternate routes, and passageways aside from the main path. The many nooks, and crannies also harbor secrets. Greenskull found a specific easter egg (a black alien skull looking thing) in Singleplayer, and confirmed that many other eggs are within the game. The reveal came with an absolutely HUGE amount of screenshots, and HD images, and you can see them all here. Halo 5: Guardians releases on October 27th of this year, and a full reveal of the game will be in Microsoft's press conference at E3. You can see the whole E3 schedule at IGN. Sources: ReadyUpLive,
  9. Halo 5: Guardians pre-orders and editions As of today you can pre-order your copy of Halo 5: Guardians via the Microsoft store. And as always the pre-orders come with some neato bonusses. If you're one of those guys who wants to play a game on launch or you like to spend money on stuff you can't even get your hands on yet... well have I got some good news for you! Starting today you can pre-order your copy of Halo 5: Guardians so you can play on launch day guaranteed. As usual there are your Standard, Limited and Collector Editions. Each, ofcourse, with their own tier of goodies! Here are the descriptions as of now: The Standard Edition will cost around $60 and pre-ordering it will yield you a new poster to hang over your bed. Cozy nights with the MC and Locke on your side. The Limited Edition will be yours for around $100. This package will contain the Standard Edition, the poster if you pre-order, digital content to enhance Spartan combat and exclusive items within a Steel Book case. The Collectors Edition is going to hit the shelves at the price of a whopping $250! This edition will include everything that comes with the Limited Edition as well as "additional content such as a commemorative numbered statue designed by 343 Industries." More details will be shared by Microsoft on a later date. ​What's a bit odd to most people is that the list is really vague. The lack of proper description and images might not convince most people to pre-order right away. As soon as more images and details are released I'll be sure to add them to this post. At least we get our bit of Halo 5: Guardians today with the Beta! Are you going to pre-order any of these versions already? Let us know down below! Thank you for reading! Source: Polygon
  10. With the recent news of Halo 5 Guardians not having a split-screen option the fanbase went wild. But we could all find some kind of comfort in knowing that playing the Halo 5 campaign co-op would not require Xbox Live Gold... Right? Well, today we found out that this is actually not the case. In one of Josh Holmes' recent blogs over at Waypoint he explains that playing the campaign does in fact require an Xbox Live Gold subscroption. It was just a small miscommunication with Game Informer while they were making their latest article "I need take a moment to make an important correction on something we miscommunicated in the story. I misspoke during the interview when stating that online co-op campaign would be supported with an Xbox Live Silver account. Co-op campaign will require Xbox Live Gold to play. I want to extend my sincere apologies to our fans, and to Game Informer, for this error and any confusion it has caused." ~Josh Holmes Luckely, in order to set things straight, we will get a 14-day Xbox Live Gold trial card with Halo 5 so you'll still have the oppertunity to play Halo 5 co-op for up to 2 weeks. Next up we got a confirmation that our classic Halo theme is making a return. Ever since Halo 3 we've had a distinct lack of our beloved monk chant in the Halo games. They weren't gone completely but they were way too subtle. So Kazuma Jinnouchi, the music composer for Halo 5, has decided to bring back the Halo choir. "We wanted to bring the old Halo theme back. We had a number of discussions about this and one of the pieces we strongly felt like we should bring back was the Halo choir, which was very subtly implemented in Halo 4, but we wanted to bring it back in a much more obvious way, So we did our own interpretation of the piece." ~Kazuma Jinnouchi We'll just have to wait and see what their 'interpretation of the piece' is. Lastly we get a confirmation that all of the upcoming Halo games will get a beta. After the terrible launch of the Master Chief Collection 343i vows to never release a Halo game without beta testing it first. They claim to have been a bit too ambtious when it comes to releasing 4 different Halo games on 1 disc, and therefor learned the importance of offering a beta. "There is so much we learned with the Halo 5 beta," she said. "There is actually stuff we took from our Master Chief Collection--learnings that we were able to put into the beta. Going forward, you will never see a Halo game coming out without a beta. It was obviously painful for our fans and for us. But it won't happen again. There are things we put in place to make sure that we know everything, how it stands up outside and in the wild." ~Bonnie Ross After the obvious succes of the Halo 5: Guardians beta, I couldn't agree more with this decision. What are your thoughts on all of this? Let us know down below! Thank you for reading! Sources: Halowaypoint Game Informer Gamespot

  12. With Halo 5 news quite slim in the coming months of the Electronic Expo, or E3, we might now have a huge leak on our hands, as Walmart has listed Halo on Xbox One to launch on October 1st, 2014. All we currently know for sure of Halo on Xbox One is that it will be a continuation of Chief's journey, run at 60fps and 1080p resolution, and Halo Escalation #7 will somehow tie into Chief's journey in it. Now, according to Walmart.com themselves, Halo on Xbox One could be launching this fall on October 1st, 2014. Whether this is a pre-set date or an estimated date, we have yet to learn, but there are some peculiar things about it. October 1st is a Wednesday for starters, most games release on Tuesday or Friday, Wednesday would be an odd date to launch it off at. Next, it doesn't follow the November time-frame 343i uses, rather it looks to be lining up to compete in some way with Destiny, or even Arkham Knight, which releases that month. Another red flag is a pecular description, stating, "Halo 5, a Microsoft console exclusive, is a pre-release general shooter game to be released in December of 2014." so then what date is 343i aiming for? Could these be two different dates for different countries? As for right now, we don't know for certain, but it is a good tip-off. View attachment: halo-5.jpg Surprising info that could definitely be aimed to throw die-hard fans off guard and confuse them, so would you want a Halo 5 to release in October, following the launches of other big titles which could hinder it's sales?
  13. This year's E3 looks to get better and better with anticipation building up around many titles, most importantly though the next Halo game. Phil Spencer replied to a fan on Twitter today, saying: "Halo news will be coming at E3. 343i has a great plan in place, will be cool to share with everyone." Now whether this Halo news is for a supposed Halo 2 Anniversary or Halo 5 no one really knows. But recent reports from around the gaming world have been leaning heavily towards Halo 2 Anniversary: With reports of Steve Downes confirming Halo 2's release then quickly retracting the comment and Waypoint tweeting a Halo 2 Master Chief figure that includes a card for "unlockable content." But there has still been no official word from Microsoft or 343 industries specifically confirming Halo 5 or Halo 2 Anniversary for 2014. We only know, "Halo news will be coming at E3." What kind of plan does 343i have in place? Is this E3 news going to be about Halo 5, Halo 2 Anniversary, maybe even both? Leave your thoughts in the comments bleow. SOURCE: IGN
  14. Some really exciting news, a Halo 5 teaser glimpse has been shown off giving us a savory look at what's to come this E3! So, if you're like me, you love Blur's masterful cinematic genius, and are very excited to see them on Halo 5 this year. On Xbox's channel, they released a short video showing a few games releasing in 2015, and one was a snippet from Halo 5 at the beginning. It is short, but shows just enough to get the hype juices flowing. A pelican's bay door detaches as Locke stands, back to the camera, with a Battle Rifle on his back. Oddly, the BR seems to have a white stripe on the front, unlike the new versions or the ones Locke and his team used when they met the Arbiter in the Halo 2 cutscene. From this scene, we can gather with the dusty atmosphere it is the same location in the Halo 2 cutscene and that Locke is jumping from high altitude (Wings ftw). A cool detail as well is that Locke's armor does in fact light up blue, which is something that wasn't really confirmed yet. That's all in the video besides some Evolve, Hardline, Tomb Raider, and MCC stuff, but we can assume this is an E3 2015 Story Trailer. View attachment: Halo5 teaser.png Speculation is gonna run wild for this, and that's just what 343i wants. I am so pumped for E3 this year, not just because of Halo 5, but this is seriously increasing my hype levels. Let me know your thoughts down below on the glimpse and what your speculation is on it. See you all next time.
  15. A new trailer was revealed showcasing what was behind the #HuntTheTruth ad campaign and further increasing our confusion and hype! Credits to Self Destruct, Church, and everyone else who helped mine this out as well as P34nut for the first article on Hunt the Truth. On the Tumblr.com link to Hunt the Truth, an ad campaign for Halo 5, people were able to fish out a 15 second video showing someone using a UNSC class Sniper with an oddly shaped penetration bullet to blow away Master Chief's visor and destroy his helmet. On the bullet, things are inscribed, but no one has deciphered them yet, though Church claims the word 'Truth' is on there, so it's possible that it says 'Hunt the Truth'. A tiny burst of the classic Halo monk chant plays ominously as it ends with an Xbox One logo. As far as who is betraying the Chief and attempting to kill him, we are currently unsure, but Locke and his squad (rumored: Buck, Romeo, and Macer) seem unlikely as Locke has stated his goal is to "find out what they are" in reference to his motives for leaving, and Buck and Romeo are both unlikely candidates for betrayal following the events of New Blood. More details are likely to come in the future, but this is leading to a very interesting set of teases following the recent teaser of Locke jumping out of a Pelican on a sandy planet like the elite homeworld. View attachment: MCBullet.png This is really interesting so far, I'm excited to see where 343i takes this traitor storyline. With all these betrayals to the UNSC from previous operatives, I wonder what sort of Civil War will erupt from this. What do you think of this tease? What are your thoughts on the future? Lemme know below! Thanks for reading!
  16. It has been rather quiet around Halo 5 news lately, the only thing we got the last month was a 2 second teaser trailer that was featured in an Xbox ad (more on the trailer can be found here). Now Frank O'Conner has tweeted a link to tumblr with the hashtags #Halo5 and #HUNTtheTRUTH. The countdown is on http://huntthetruth.tumblr.com/ #Halo5 #HUNTtheTRUTH ~Frank O'Connor on Twitter Clicking this link will lead you to a site showing a bullet engraved with "Traitor" (see the image above), a countdown underneath it and the Halo 5: Guardians logo at the bottom of the site. There are also 2 buttons, one for sharing it yourself on Twitter and one for putting it on a calendar on a program of your choice as a reminder. Upon sharing the blog it will prefill your tweet with: What seems like the end, is only the beginning. http://huntthetruth.tumblr.com/ #HUNTtheTRUTH #Halo5 Now this isn't a countdown to the release date of Halo 5 like you'd expect since it's currently standing at about 2-3 days. What this countdown is counting down to is still unknown, but rumours are that it's a countdown to a huge reveal of something Halo 5 related and that it has something to do with Agent Locke hunting the Master Chief who may have been dubbed as traitor by the UNSC. Alas we won't know for sure untill it hits 0, which is up and around coming Sunday. What do you think this countdown is counting down to? Let us know down below! Thank you for reading! [uPDATE] People have gone around digging in the source code and found a image that was "supposed" to be on the background which shows nothing but a few blue dots, seems pointless right? So why would it be hidden? This questions led to people mucking around a bit more with the image which resulted in this: Upper left has the word "Demons" and lower right sais "gods" which is rumoured to be linked to the Gravemind as one of his lines in the games is "I have defied gods and demons". Is this a small hint towards the Flood? Only time will tell. What do you think?
  17. A new trailer is up for Halo 5: Guardians that depicts Agent Locke possibly looking to kill the Master Chief. No wait, not possibly, definitely! This came so far out of left field I don't even know where to begin. Xbox's YouTube.com channel released our Halo 5: Guardians trailer today, along with a new episode of Hunt the Truth. The trailer shows Locke with his DMR walking through a glassed colony world and confronting the Chief, standing battered and injured against a memorial in his name. Locke chastises and mocks Chief whilst preparing to kill him. He pulls out his pistol, and the trailer ends. This also reveals the release date, October 27th, 2015. As pointed out by Yoshi, the infinity sits in the background, looking a bit battered itself, and it seems this is the same location as a piece of concept art from a while ago. We will get more answers as to why Locke looks to kill Chief later on, but as of right now, Agent Locke sees Chief as a traitor, and he is on the hunt to kill him. View attachment: Halo5trailer.png What is your opinion on this trailer? I am so pumped personally for October 27th, HALO 5 FTW. Comment below and give me your thoughts! Thanks for reading chaps!
  18. On HaloWaypoint, Josh Holmes posted a list of changes to Halo 5 based on the feedback they received during it's run. The changes, and tweaks listed below aren't all of them, and he states that a more "extensive list" will be posted later. Changes: Statistics In addition to the changes list Josh Holmes also posted some information relating to the statistics from the Beta: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Thoughts?

  19. Hey forum, Ever since E3 2013, we've been hearing rumours about how Chief has gone AWOL, and we now know that those rumours are true. Master Chief Petty Officer John-117 is a Spartan-II. Spartan-IIs have nothing below the best training the UNSC have to offer. They are professional soldiers, trained in many aspects. One of those aspects is loyalty. A Spartan-II would not betray the UNSC for whatever reason. After being indoctrinated, contained, and trained, they are under the influence of the UNSC and would follow every order until death. No Spartan-II would betray the UNSC for their own personal reason(s). Now we have the well know Master Chief, becoming a so-called 'traitor'. This is something that seriously bothers me because it is almost wrong. Out of all Spartans, Chief ends up leaving for his own emotions. No matter how long he fought with Cortana, he would have still let her go. He wouldn't abandon the UNSC for her. He has had longer lasting relationships with his fellow Spartan-IIs, and he would accept their death and carry on. Now maybe he's doing this because he can actually bring Cortana back unlike other dead soldiers, but this is not a legit reason. He would never go off course just because he gained an emotional attachment to Cortana. He is more professional than that, and his duty would always come first. To me it seems as if 343 have just broken Halo's lore, and have ruined the whole universe (Halo universe) all together by doing this. Am I thinking a little too extremely? No, because the Spartan-IIs' behaviour plays a vital role in the Halo universe. It's as if everything we've ever known about Spartan-IIs (Chief in this case) has been a lie. All this knowledge from books, games, comics, and so on has been burned to ashes. I believe 343 can do a good job with the gameplay, but affecting Halo's lore is something else. I personally take this far more seriously than the gameplay, because it's what makes Halo. If it were Bungie, they may never have made Chief go AWOL. Chief is far too professional to do such a thing, it just wouldn't happen. I just hope that it won't get any worse than this. There is still some time left and lots we don't know, so hopefully we'll get a better reason overall. What do you all think about this? Thanks for reading. - Spartan
  20. I really need to see why people feel so adamantly against them. I've played the Beta, and that was the first thing that jumped out at me that I liked. In games like Killzone 3, and Farcry 3, the post-game cutscenes showed the best players in the cutscenes, which I loved. It always felt cool to be winning a game on Killzone; and see my character leading the charge in a between-rounds cutscene. It adds personality to a game, something I find a lot of modern FPS's to be sorely lacking. So please, explain in detail why you don't like them. And don't bother telling me they break game flow. Three seconds of your time isn't going to break the flow of your game. If three seconds out of a game makes that big of a difference for you, you may need to seek medical help, or at least go outside for a while.
  21. Did anyone else run into problems during the beta with Random Betrayals? I went into a few games where as soon as the game started, someone on my team just randomly started killing everyone on my team making us all go negative. First he would betray someone, then the person who was killed would retaliate and kill him back, then they got killed first gets booted but not the person who started it. These guys continued to kill us all until it was just them and me and then they killed me and I never got the option to kick/boot them. One game, he killed me four times and not once did it give me an option to boot. Then I decided enough was enough and killed him back and I was instantly booted even though it was the first time I had ever betrayed anyone during the beta. How does that make any sense? I think there should be some sort of tracking system that makes you de-rank severely and suspended from playing another game for at least 5 minutes and continue to increase the more you do it. Anyone else have a similar experience, or have any opinion on how betrayals should be handled?
  22. My friends and I used to have a blast playing Rocket Hog Race and Rocket Race. I know it isn't for everyone, but hear me out. First, it could be in it's own playlist just like Grifball. This way people are forced to play it from Action Sack or Multi-Team because honestly, you either love it or you hate it. Second, it doesn't need to be rotational. This way it won't take up spots that could be used for Snipers etc. Honestly I think the rotational playlist idea is bad anyway. Third, its understandable that some people think Rocket Race takes away from the core of Halo's purpose as a first person shooter. However, it's nice to take a break from the standard playlists and go for something more lighthearted once in a while. If you wouldn't mind seeing these game types return to Halo (Reach, 4, 5, etc) then take the time to fill out this petition. I don't think by itself it will change 343's mind but this is part of a larger plan. https://www.change.org/p/343-industries-return-rocket-hog-race-and-rocket-race-to-halo-matchmaking Thank you.
  23. A new trailer is up for Halo 5: Guardians that depicts Agent Locke possibly looking to kill the Master Chief. No wait, not possibly, definitely! This came so far out of left field I don't even know where to begin. Xbox's YouTube.com channel released our Halo 5: Guardians trailer today, along with a new episode of Hunt the Truth. The trailer shows Locke with his DMR walking through a glassed colony world and confronting the Chief, standing battered and injured against a memorial in his name. Locke chastises and mocks Chief whilst preparing to kill him. He pulls out his pistol, and the trailer ends. This also reveals the release date, October 27th, 2015. As pointed out by Yoshi, the infinity sits in the background, looking a bit battered itself, and it seems this is the same location as a piece of concept art from a while ago. We will get more answers as to why Locke looks to kill Chief later on, but as of right now, Agent Locke sees Chief as a traitor, and he is on the hunt to kill him.

  24. A new trailer was revealed showcasing what was behind the #HuntTheTruth ad campaign and further increasing our confusion and hype! Credits to Self Destruct, Church, and everyone else who helped mine this out as well as P34nut for the first article on Hunt the Truth. On the Tumblr.com link to Hunt the Truth, an ad campaign for Halo 5, people were able to fish out a 15 second video showing someone using a UNSC class Sniper with an oddly shaped penetration bullet to blow away Master Chief's visor and destroy his helmet. On the bullet, things are inscribed, but no one has deciphered them yet, though Church claims the word 'Truth' is on there, so it's possible that it says 'Hunt the Truth'. A tiny burst of the classic Halo monk chant plays ominously as it ends with an Xbox One logo. As far as who is betraying the Chief and attempting to kill him, we are currently unsure, but Locke and his squad (rumored: Buck, Romeo, and Macer) seem unlikely as Locke has stated his goal is to "find out what they are" in reference to his motives for leaving, and Buck and Romeo are both unlikely candidates for betrayal following the events of New Blood. More details are likely to come in the future, but this is leading to a very interesting set of teases following the recent teaser of Locke jumping out of a Pelican on a sandy planet like the elite homeworld. View attachment: MCBullet.png This is really interesting so far, I'm excited to see where 343i takes this traitor storyline. With all these betrayals to the UNSC from previous operatives, I wonder what sort of Civil War will erupt from this. What do you think of this tease? What are your thoughts on the future? Lemme know below! Thanks for reading! View full article
