Halo 5 Guardians: #huntthetruth
- Thread starter Wario64
- Start date
MS and the Halo hype/marketing train is like no other in the industry. They will advertise this game majorly all the way from now up to release. Post E3 is when they'll really kick it into gear.
I'm not sure if I understand?
What's happening tomorrow? It can't be a new Hunt The Truth audio thingy, because those drop on Sundays.

I think the UK is just airing the two Halo 5 trailers we got during Walking Dead. Don't think the UK gets AMC.

Plus, Palmer's 6'9", you'd think he would note that.
That reminds me, John 117 is supposed to be 6'10...One inch apart, so...
I wonder if this will be addressed in future lore, or it's just a blooper, or some other explanation. He's 7'2" in the armour, but I'd imagine the SIVs would also get the same height boost from their own armour (I see 7'1 for Palmer on a quick google, minus a bit for the helmet being off).
EDIT: Dehehehehehe

IIRC, that was done for effect. Coulda sworn Chief was 7'+ even outside of armor, though.

I believe it's been confirmed that the scale there was just for artistic effect.

Oh, I hadn't heard. Sauce?

Could've sworn I read an interview with Blur about it a while ago, but I can't find it now.

I need sauce for this sauce.

It was. And it was easier
That's definitely understandable and the conclusion I came to pretty shortly. Although it did confuse me a bit when I first saw it.

I know I saw it too (and since we both thought of it I don't believe we could have made it up haha) but I wasn't able to find it either. I swear either Stinkles posted it, or posted something in response to it or something and that's how I saw it, but search failed me.
Ya I'm sure they made that decision to make it a quicker job and cheaper. Blur ain't cheap!

Just seen an advert on uk tv too... Starting the hype early as others said!

So, a thought just came to mind. How exactly is Ben making phone calls to the people he is interviewing in seemingly real-time. I would assume that they are out of system because Ben seems like he lives close to Sol... But if that is the case, how is he getting real-time communication to Katarina, the ODST, the detainee or the retired soldier.

According to Halopedia, the UNSC worked the kinks out of reliable FTL communications some time in 2552. Seems to be built on reverse-engineered Forerunner tech.

Ah, that explains it. I thought that tech was still only available on the really high class vessels/planets and not available to normal civilians.
Thanks

Oh shit, the new episode is up already
Mshak sent me this picture of some UNSC recruitment posters featuring the Master Chief, all tagged to hell. The relationship between Spartans and ODST has always been a little shaky, but this seems like something else entirely.

The government in the Halo Universe is actually really oppressive and fucked up.

IKR? I think expounding on the "flagging conversations" thing is gonna get them some extra attention, since it ties in so closely to the current privacy stuff.

EDIT: Further in, the description of the anomalies seems to indicate that it's
definitely not the Flood. Unless it's another Keymind fucking with reality again.
EDIT2, Electric Poodleoo: Jesus, the description of the ONI campus sounds eerie as fuck. Very low-key, but very definite, villainy.
Oh, Jem.

Great this week! Hate having to wait a week between stories but it makes the build up even better I suppose.
So well done as well.
So well done as well.
So apparently Chief is off doing his own thing by this point, so obviously it takes place after the last time we saw him in the Escalation comics.

So, if I'm understanding the latest episode properly
it seems likely that Ben just got sent to Midnight facility.

Next week's ep will be locked behind paywall.
as someone who isn't too well versed in lore, what is this?
Don't even joke about that. Microsoft would do that if they thought they could.
Get the rest of the story by subbing to Xbox Live Gold and Hunt The Truth All Access.
