Halo 5 Guardians: #huntthetruth

Given there's a little too much landscape left to look like a complete glassing, I wonder if the Infinity tried to dispatch something on the ground with a MAC round, only for a counterattack to damage it.
 
So Oscar-129 presumably committed suicide, because he somehow found out about the clone ONI replaced him with, and realized he wouldn't be able to return to his life after it seems he escaped ONI augmentation?

Honestly, I'm not even sure that we're looking at a post-devastation scene in that pic; looks more like some kind of industrial operation with a city in the background.

Hmm, no, that looks like it was all destroyed.
I mean, we know it does get torn apart from the TV spots, and we know what the place looks like before all that.

Definitely love how many pieces are in motion here. ONI trying to cover their trail, Agent Locke and crew on a mission to find Chief, Chief with Blue team doing who knows, mysterious forces on the move, outer colony ire.

Will the Didact or other Forerunner beings return? Will the Flood be back or even the Precursors? Will Insurrectionists play a larger role in the game?

So many questions.

Oh interesting? I really need to read Halo escalation it seems? Is there a good synopsis online?

Happens in halo legends you should check it out great short.
 
I think this was the first episode when the quality didn't go up. It was still excellent but it wasn't as good as the last episode. Although it's kinda hard to beat something that good.
 
Yoooo, I knew it!

Chief vindicated. But he also nuked Insurrectionists/Terrorists. Will Humans be joining the Halo rogues' gallery?

LOL @ Del Rio still salty as all hell

Team
CHIEF
 
LMAO @ Del Rio being still salty, because Master Chief didn't want to give him the Dorito chip. That role fits him very well. Hilarious, how he treats Spartan II's and compares them to "his" Spartan IV's. I still got the impression that he was only created so people could hate him.

Once again a pretty epic episode. The voice acting was sick, especially in the beginning. Can't wait for the next episode and the finale. :O
 
Of course Del Rio is now a Senator, makes perfect sense for that self-absorbed asshole to have gotten into politics after getting shitcanned off Infinity.

Amazing Episode.
 
They're doing a lot of world building in these episodes. It's starting to become worrisome. I'm afraid 343 are going to fall into the same trap they did with Halo 4 where all the pertinent backstory and exposition is covered in alternate media. Chief's framing, the beginning of a second insurrection, the "deep space anomalies"; we have to assume all that stuff is going to be relevant in Halo 5, yes? Especially considering these episodes are really very compelling and elaborate commercials for the game.

Most of this is extra background stuff that isn't need to know for the story. You could probably catch up all the important information pretty quickly in the game itself.
 
We could be playing parts of this story while also playing Locke on his trail in the aftermath. That would keep people in the loop.
 
Although I'm not too keen on the idea that in Halo 5 we may be up against
humans (Sapien Sunrise)
, the story implications are just so great. Another terrific episode!

There's just a lot stuff happening very quickly in Halo world. Going from Halo 4's ending to the state the universe is in during this last HTT episode is quite a leap. ONI going full Orwell, Master Chief being framed, the deep space anomalies, etc. It's not impossible, but conveying even the most important info seems daunting.

I think it could work. The problem with the Didact is that it was a huge swerve, without much narrative space to be expanded on. Suddenly you've got this freaky looking guy out of nowhere, and then there's this other one who says you're evolved somehow, and what the hell those metal guys with the glowing faces used to be human?

By comparison, Orwellian intelligence organizations and frame jobs are much more familiar, and much easier to communicate (especially since the second protagonist will offer an additional perspective by default).
