Hmm... maybe not then. These docs on waypoint all say they were born with that name so it must be 343s retcon or something. Then again Waypoint is ONI propaganda network in canon so who knows...

Is it a retcon? I thought only Kurt got an invented last name so he could work with the Spartan 3s, the others just went by numbers.

Same armour, and they were reintroduced in Escalation...It's them.

Where, not why.

can we get wallpaper that ISN'T watermakered? kthnx

Well, we could wait for the official version to drop, which I would assume will be soon since we're so close anyways.

Spoiler

After Kurt sacrificed himself to save the rest of the team on Onyx, they renamed the resulting Forerunner word "Trevelyan" after Kurt's real name, which came from Halsey herself. I believe this was in "Glasslands".

I love that this is so high resolution that even a corner of it can make its own high res wallpaper! Makes my 2880x1800 screen happy.

That's, uh, what?

EDIT: I saw that edit, can't fool me.

Just wait for official assets to release.

needs more hard work(tm) first

 

[jet1911]

Is no one noticing that Master Chief is under Locke and Locke is under Master Chief? It's just showing the opposition. Having John under John and Locke under Locke would look dumb.

Anywho...Watch the last block be the right arm piece of the giant wobot thing and completely alter the meaning of everything in this picture.

You're right. I really hope 343 will find a good way to bring those who never heard of "blue team" and all the lore that's in the book up to speed.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

What's the chance of there being 2 cover arts? One for Locke and one for Chief.

 

[GringoSuave89]

Tomorrow will be the final waves of the images, with a full HQ image up that afternoon/evening, and if we're really lucky, more details on the game (trailer? whatsinthebox.gif? etc)

I'd expect it to be reversible, rather than having 2 separate versions, for logistical reasons if nothing else.

Blue Team trailer with all of them in action together.

fixed that for u. You really gotta let people know that you're the only reason they're alive.

That would be the smart thing to do.

I've got you:

Hmmm, theres something there, I can't quite put my finger on it....

 

[watership]

Looks like Blue Team is all together now!

Holy shit. It's actually happening. I'd say this should be it's own thread, but most of gaf seems pretty hostile to Halo due to the MCC, and I don't think many would give a shit about the story aspects.

yus ;-;

 

[A More Normal Bird]

...

Yeah, but I don't know why people were assuming that the last names revealed for other Spartans were invented (like Ambrose) and not real (like Trevelyan). AFAIK Kurt was the only Spartan to be given a fake last name

Spoiler

after he was abducted/disappeared to work for the Spartan 3 project.

 

[Einchy]

Holy shit, I've been waiting for this to happen since before Halo 3 came out.

[edit]

Just this alone has made me more hyped about Halo 5 than anything they've shown so far.

 

[LordOfChaos]

That's, uh, what?

Heh heh

Serin was given one and Randall adopted one.

 

[singhr1]

Is the Red Spartan on Locke's squad a woman? Sort of looks like it with the slimmer arms. It would give credence to Mercer on Locke's team.

 

[PerezDeCorcho]

I really hope they do Blue Team justice. This has been a long time coming.

 

[blamite]

My guess would be that she's Tanaka, a Spartan who's getting a two issue arc in Escalation that just so happens to have started this month. Funny how that timing worked out hmm?

 

[SpartanN92]

Has anybody noticed that the banshees in the puzzle are the original ones from CE-ODST?

 

[NobleGundam]

Don't know about that. The banshee in the Locke ad showed different.

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

Is there a catalog anywhere of all the original source links for the image pieces? I can only find some of them, most places only have imgur uploads.

 

[kittens]

Only big Halo lore nerds would care though. Most of GAF would just yawn without knowing about the context, which couldn't really be appreciated without reading The Fall of Reach.

I saw one on Reddit that Chief Canuck (well, same handle on there as here so I'm assuming it's the same person) was handling. He might be able to link you to it

 

[SpartanN92]

What do you mean you don't know about that? Just zoom in and look

 

[S0cc3rpunk]

i need that wallpaper D:

 

[exYle]

I wonder if we'll hear Oly Oly Oxen Free in the game

 

[Ozzy Onya A2Z]

I wonder if we'll hear Oly Oly Oxen Free in the game

This is the perfect why to introduce them.

 

[Ape]

Can't be on both teams fool

 

[DeadlyParasite]

Oh wow, I haven't been completely paying attention to this but are the surviving Spartans from the books really appearing in the game?? Megaton.

Speaking of which was there ever a book that followed up from the events in Ghosts of Onyx?

 

[Toa TAK]

Haha.

Seriously, though, it's cool that this is almost done.

 

[NobleGundam]

I thought you were referring to the cosmetic design. But yes It does look CE banshee but also H2 banshee

idk considering most people that shared them with the internet just used imgur instead or direct links.

Speaking of which was there ever a book that followed up from the events in Ghosts of Onyx?

Kinda. Glasslands finishes the story off by

Spoiler

explaining what's going on in the shield world and how they got out.

But it's more of a glorified cameo than anything.

Yeah, it's called Glasslands and it sucks

 

[malfcn]

When are the LE and CE contents going to be revealed?

 

[Bornstellar]

So hyped.
